Published: February 2020

AbstractVitamin D has been shown to benefit a diverse range of health functions including
muscle function. The aim of the present study was to identify serum 25(OH)D3
levels in a sample of adolescent dancers and compare them to muscle function and
injury incidence. We incorporated a cross-sectional design to study 49
pre-professional male and female dancers (17±4.44 yrs,
52.1±6.72 kg, 1.63±0.07 m) in full-time training
in Bazil. Serum 25[OH]D3 was analyzed by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay;
quadriceps and hamstring peak torque and muscle fatigue were measured by
isokinetic dynamometer at 60 and 300° s−1.
Injury type and location in the previous 6-months were determined by self-report
questionnaire. Participants were categorized into 2 groups: normal or
insufficient/deficient (>or<30 ng/ml
25[OH]D3). Results indicated the normal serum 25[OH]D3 group had significantly
lower fatigue rates than the insufficient/deficient group
(p<0.05) but not for the other muscle function parameters. Fifty-seven
percent of participants reported at least 1 injury. The most common were sprains
(33%) and tendinopathies (19%). Injured dancers had
significantly lower peak torque at 60°/s. The link between serum
25[OH]D3 and reduced muscle fatigue resistance has not been shown before, though
the underlying mechanisms aren’t apparent and the link between muscular
strength and injury has been previously evidenced.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was twofold: (i) characterize the external and internal
training load of professional volleyball players with a focus on intra-week
changes and (ii) test the relationships between internal and external load
measures. Eight male professional players (age: 23.0±5.22 yo; body mass:
84.5 ± 7.58 kg; height: 193.0±9.71 cm;
BMI: 22.0±0.02 kg/m2) were monitored daily over 15
weeks. The monitoring process included both internal (rate of perceived exertion
[RPE] and session-RPE [s-RPE]) and external load variables, which were measured
by an inertial measurement unit. Results revealed that, within-week variations
revealed that RPE was significantly higher during MD-2 (d=0.59) and MD-3
(d=0.56) than MD-1. A significantly higher number of jumps was observed
on MD-2 than MD-1 (d=0.69). Considering the relationships between
internal and external load measures, small positive correlations were found
between RPE and the number of jumps (r=0.17) and between s-RPE and the
number of jumps (r=0.49). In conclusion, a tapering strategy was
observed on the day before a match, as internal and external loads decreased.
Both internal and external load measures are necessary to provide an accurate
perception of the impact of training stimuli on players.

Published: February 2020

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the effect of the menstrual cycle on serum
carnitine and the endurance performance of healthy women. Fifteen eumenorrheic
women underwent cycle ergometer exercise at 60% maximal oxygen uptake
(V̇ O2max) for 45 min, followed by exercise at an
intensity that was increased to 80% V̇ O 2max until
exhaustion, during two menstrual cycle phases, including the early follicular
phase (FP) and the midluteal phase (LP). The blood levels of estradiol,
progesterone, total carnitine, free carnitine, and acylcarnitine were assessed.
Compared with the FP, the LP had significantly lower serum total carnitine
(p<0.05) and free carnitine (p<0.01). Moreover, the group with
decreased endurance performance in the LP than in the FP showed a significantly
higher change in serum free carnitine compared with the group that showed
improved endurance performance in the LP than in the FP (p<0.05). The
results of this study suggested that the changes in serum free carnitine during
the menstrual cycle might influence endurance performance.
The Effect of Transition Period on Performance Parameters in Elite
Female Soccer Players
Authors: Parpa Koulla , Michaelides Marcos A. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a 4-week off-season period
(transition period) on the anthropometric and performance parameters in elite
female soccer players who participated in the UEFA women’s Champions
league. Eighteen female players (age 23.6±4.3 years) underwent testing
at the end of the competitive period and right after the transition period. An
incremental cardiopulmonary testing, body composition assessment and isokinetic
testing at 60 °/sec were performed on both occasions. The
cardiopulmonary exercise testing revealed that VO2max
(p=0.001) and time on the treadmill (p=0.000) were significantly
reduced after the transition period that included a 2 times/week
exercise regimen. Furthermore, the quadriceps torque production at 60
°/s was significantly reduced for both the right
(p=0.013) and left quadriceps (p=0.004) following the transition
period. Finally, body weight (p=0.001) and body fat (p=0.000)
significantly increased after 4 weeks of significantly reduced training volume.
It is concluded that the transition period negatively affected the
anthropometric and performance parameters of the female players. These data
maybe informative for coaches and trainers as they demonstrate that despite the
efforts to keep the players physically active the performance parameters
decreased significantly.
Relationships between a Load-velocity Profile and Sprint Performance
in Butterfly Swimming

Published: February 2020

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to establish the relationships between 50 m
sprint swimming performance and variables acquired from a swimming load-velocity
profile established by semi-tethered butterfly swimming. Twelve male elite
swimmers participated in the present study and performed 50 m sprint and
semi-tethered butterfly swimming with different loads. The mean velocity among
all upper-limb cycles was obtained from the 50 m swimming (race
velocity), and maximum load and velocity were predicted from the load-velocity
profile established by the semi-tethered swimming test. There was a very large
correlation (r=0.885, p<0.01) and a high intra-class correlation
(0.844, p<0.001) between the race velocity and the predicted maximum
velocity. Significant correlations were also observed between the predicted
maximum load and the 50 m time as well as the race velocity
(r=− 0.624 and 0.556, respectively, both
p<0.05), which imply that an ability to achieve a large tethered
swimming force is associated with 50 m butterfly performance. These
results indicate that the load-velocity profile is a useful tool for predicting
and assessing sprint butterfly swimming performance.
Validity and Reliability of the Isometric Prone Bench Pull
Test
Authors: Lum Danny , Aziz Luqman 
Published: February 2020

AbstractIsometric strength tests are gaining popularity in recent years. However, no
study has validated any isometric strength tests to assess upper body pulling
ability. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability
of isometric prone bench pull. Twenty-three resistance trained athletes (age:
26±4 years, height: 1.75±0.07 m, body mass:
78.6±11.5 kg) were required to perform prone bench pull 1
repetition maximum and isometric prone bench pull tests during the
familiarization and actual testing sessions. Isometric prone bench pull was
performed at 90° and 120° elbow angles.
Peak force and rate of force development measures were highly reliable with
intra-correlation coefficient between 0.881–0.987. Peak force obtained
from isometric prone bench pull at both elbow angles showed large correlations
to prone bench pull 1 repetition maximum (r=0.833–0.858,
p<0.01). Linear regression equations to predict 1RM performance from
isometric prone bench pull peak force produced an estimated 1RM with a standard
error of only 3–6% of the average prone bench pull 1 repetition
maximum. The current findings show that isometric prone bench pull is a reliable
test and can be used to predict prone bench pull performance.
Fat Grafting for Hand Rejuvenation

Published: February 2020

AbstractThe hands are one of the most visible parts of the body, and prominent dorsal veins and extensor tendons are the most readily recognized signs of the aging process. Fat grafting has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective method of hand rejuvenation by restoration of subcutaneous fat. Despite some variability in the technical approach, fat grafting techniques are consistent in their use of low-pressure injection with standard cannula sizes, small aliquots of graft, and a total volume of graft greater than or equal to 15 mL per hand. While distribution of the fat is an area of debate and a topic of active research, published studies have shown high patient satisfaction rates, suggesting that perhaps the restoration of volume alone is paramount. In this article, we will review the applications of fat grafting to the hand, focusing primarily on its role in hand rejuvenation.

Published: February 2020

AbstractToday, fat grafting has wide applicability across plastic surgery disciplines, including both aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. However, much controversy has surrounded adipose tissue transfer throughout the 20th century, necessitating extensive research to improve the fat grafting process and to better understand its associated complications and benefits. Initial concerns included the technical difficulties of properly handling and processing adipose to ensure adequate outcomes. As these issues were addressed, more modern concerns were raised by the U.S Food and Drug Administration and the general scientific community regarding the oncological potential of adipose tissue and its potential interference with breast cancer screenings. Today, many formalized clinical studies have evidenced the safety of fat grafting, allowing the procedure to gain widespread popularity and opening avenues for future applications.
The Science of Fat Grafting
Authors: Shih Linden , Davis Matthew J. , Winocour Sebastian J. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractAutologous fat grafting has become a popular and well-established technique used by plastic surgeons in a variety of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. An understanding of the basic science principles underlying fat grafting is crucial to explaining its extensive utility for soft tissue rejuvenation, volume augmentation, and body contouring—and the unpredictable fat resorption rates after grafting that pose a significant challenge for plastic surgeons. While the scientific principles of fat grafting can theoretically be exploited to optimize fat grafting techniques and increase fat tissue survival, a consensus has yet been established as to the best practices for this procedure. This review discusses the biology of adipose tissue and the scientific principles behind its behavior and survival in autologous fat grafting.

Published: February 2020

AbstractAutologous fat grafting has become a widely utilized technique for a variety of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Its potential for volume restoration and tissue regeneration has made it a popular method for treating soft tissue defects in both adult and pediatric populations. While autologous fat grafting in the pediatric setting is not as well characterized as it is in the adult setting, various reports have demonstrated the safety and utility of its applications in nonadult patient populations. In this article, we present the first comprehensive review of the current applications of autologous fat grafting in pediatric patients. Specific challenges to fat grafting in the pediatric setting and future applications will also be discussed.
Dynamic motility selection drives population segregation in a bacterial swarm
Authors: Zuo Wenlong , Wu Yilin 
Published: February 2020

Significance
Ecological models usually take growth rate fitness as the essential driver of population dynamics. However, as a widespread natural phenomenon, population expansion in space (or range expansion) is often governed by both motility and growth. Microbial communities offer unique systems to study how an individual’s motility contributes to space competition among heterogeneous microbial populations during range expansion. Here we show that motility heterogeneity can promote the spatial segregation of subpopulations in structured microbial communities via a dynamic motility selection mechanism. Our findings are relevant to microbial stress response and microbial ecology. The results may also provide new insight to range expansion in other biological systems, such as tumor invasion and collective stress tolerance of cancer cells in densely packed environments.
Norm destruction, norm resilience
Authors: Balabanova Ekaterina , Balch Alex 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Principles of refugee protection in Europe are said to have come under great pressure with the populist and
nationalist backlash to the ‘migrant crisis’, often traced to illiberal regimes in post-communist countries. This paper tests
these claims by comparatively analysing media coverage in the UK and Hungary, establishing the extent to which specific norms were
challenged or upheld in April and September 2015. It develops a new methodology connecting ethical justifications for migration
controls with the ‘normative terrain’ of refugee protection. The findings complicate existing assumptions about differences
between conservative and progressive-leaning publications, and also the divide and direction of travel between Old/New and
East/West in the European context. The article challenges the narrative of the ‘illiberal wind’ and advances understanding of the
relationship between political culture and media systems in Europe, and the toxic nature of media coverage in relation to the
survival of the normative regime around refugees.

Published: February 2020

AbstractObjectivesTo define the clinicopathologic features of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) of the central nervous system (CNS), including cases arising in CNS parenchyma, which have been reported only rarely.MethodsTwelve cases of CNS EMZL were identified, including 5 based in CNS parenchyma and 7 nonparenchymal cases arising in dura or choroid plexus.ResultsHistologically, parenchymal cases were perivascular infiltrates without a dominant lymphoid mass, whereas nonparenchymal cases were masses of small lymphocytes. Plasma cells were a larger component of the infiltrate in parenchymal cases (median, 30%; range, 20%-50%) than nonparenchymal cases (median, 0%; range, 0%-5%; P &lt; .001), and plasma cells were clonal by immunohistochemistry in 4 of 5 parenchymal vs 1 of 7 nonparenchymal cases (P = .07). Fluorescence in situ hybridization for MALT1 rearrangement was positive in 1 of 3 parenchymal and none of 3 nonparenchymal cases. Chromosomal microarray was abnormal in 5 of 7 cases (71%), with chromosome 6/6q alterations identified in 3 cases. No patients with parenchymal disease but all 6 (100%) with nonparenchymal disease achieved complete remission.ConclusionsThis case series, the first to include multiple parenchymal cases, clarifies the spectrum of clinical, pathologic, and genetic findings in CNS EMZL and suggests that parenchymal-based lesions may show less favorable prognosis than dural-based disease.
Benefits of cooperation in captive Damaraland mole-rats
Authors: Houslay Thomas M , Vullioud Philippe , Zöttl Markus , Clutton-Brock Tim H 
Published: February 2020

AbstractAlthough the social mole-rats are commonly classified as eusocial breeders on the grounds that groups include a single breeding female (the “queen”) and a number of nonbreeding individuals (“helpers”) of both sexes, alloparental care is not highly developed in these species and there is no direct evidence that the presence or number of nonbreeders is associated with reductions in the workload of the “queen.” An alternative interpretation of mole-rat groups is that the social mole-rats are cooperative foragers rather than cooperative or eusocial breeders. Here, in captive colonies of Damaraland mole-rats (Fukomys damarensis), we provide the first evidence that increases in the number of nonbreeding subordinates in mole-rat groups are associated with reductions in the workload of “queens” and with increases in their fecundity.
Proteoform characterization based on top-down mass spectrometry

Published: February 2020

AbstractProteins are dominant executors of living processes. Compared to genetic variations, changes in the molecular structure and state of a protein (i.e. proteoforms) are more directly related to pathological changes in diseases. Characterizing proteoforms involves identifying and locating primary structure alterations (PSAs) in proteoforms, which is of practical importance for the advancement of the medical profession. With the development of mass spectrometry (MS) technology, the characterization of proteoforms based on top-down MS technology has become possible. This type of method is relatively new and faces many challenges. Since the proteoform identification is the most important process in characterizing proteoforms, we comprehensively review the existing proteoform identification methods in this study. Before identifying proteoforms, the spectra need to be preprocessed, and protein sequence databases can be filtered to speed up the identification. Therefore, we also summarize some popular deconvolution algorithms, various filtering algorithms for improving the proteoform identification performance and various scoring methods for localizing proteoforms. Moreover, commonly used methods were evaluated and compared in this review. We believe our review could help researchers better understand the current state of the development in this field and design new efficient algorithms for the proteoform characterization.
DL4papers: a deep learning approach for the automatic interpretation of scientific articles

Published: February 2020

Abstract

Motivation
In precision medicine, next-generation sequencing and novel preclinical reports have led to an increasingly large amount of results, published in the scientific literature. However, identifying novel treatments or predicting a drug response in, for example, cancer patients, from the huge amount of papers available remains a laborious and challenging work. This task can be considered a text mining problem that requires reading a lot of academic documents for identifying a small set of papers describing specific relations between key terms. Due to the infeasibility of the manual curation of these relations, computational methods that can automatically identify them from the available literature are urgently needed.

Results
We present DL4papers, a new method based on deep learning that is capable of analyzing and interpreting papers in order to automatically extract relevant relations between specific keywords. DL4papers receives as input a query with the desired keywords, and it returns a ranked list of papers that contain meaningful associations between the keywords. The comparison against related methods showed that our proposal outperformed them in a cancer corpus. The reliability of the DL4papers output list was also measured, revealing that 100% of the first two documents retrieved for a particular search have relevant relations, in average. This shows that our model can guarantee that in the top-2 papers of the ranked list, the relation can be effectively found. Furthermore, the model is capable of highlighting, within each document, the specific fragments that have the associations of the input keywords. This can be very useful in order to pay attention only to the highlighted text, instead of reading the full paper. We believe that our proposal could be used as an accurate tool for rapidly identifying relationships between genes and their mutations, drug responses and treatments in the context of a certain disease. This new approach can certainly be a very useful and valuable resource for the advancement of the precision medicine field.

Care in Uncaring Places: Exploring Somali Piracy Hostage Incidents
Authors: Wakeham Joshua , Gilmer Brittany V 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Care is not something that we typically associate with crime. In this paper, we challenge this idea by examining the case of ransom kidnappings by Somali pirates. To make this argument, first, we draw on existing social scientific research on care and care work to develop a theoretical account of caring actions that is consistent with an earlier scholarship while broadening its scope. We, then, draw on data from four memoirs written by former hostages to explore the various ways that Somali pirates provide care, as well as the reactions such caring behaviours induce in both the pirates and the hostages. We conclude by suggesting ways in which care may be examined in the context of other crimes.
