Abstract
Walker, AJ, McFadden, BA, Sanders, DJ, Rabideau, MM, Hofacker, ML, and Arent, SM. Biomarker response to a competitive season in Division I female soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 33(10): 2622–2628, 2019—The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of training load (TL) on performance and biomarkers of health, performance, and recovery in Division I female soccer players throughout a competitive season. Subjects (N = 25, Mage = 20 ± 1.1 years) were monitored before the start of preseason and every 4-weeks thereafter (T1–T5). A battery of performance tests was administered before the start of preseason (P1) and end-of-season (P2), including body composition (percent body fat [%BF], fat free mass [FFM], and fat mass), vertical jump (VJ), and Vo
2max. Blood draws were conducted at every time point (T1–T5) to assess free and total cortisol (CORTF and CORTT), prolactin (PRL), T3, IL-6, creatine kinase (CK), sex-hormone binding globulin, omega-3 (n-3FA), vitamin-D (Vit-D), iron (Fe), hematocrit (HcT), ferritin (Fer), percent saturation (%Sat), and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). Daily exercise energy expenditure (EEE) and TL were determined. There were significant declines in Vo
2max, VJ, weight, and %BF from P1–P2 (p < 0.05) with no significant differences in FFM. Training load and EEE significantly decreased from T1–T3 (p < 0.05). Significant increases were seen in CORTT, CORTF, PRL, T3, IL-6, CK, and TIBC throughout the season (p < 0.05). Significant decreases were seen in n-3FA, Fe, Fer, %Sat, and Hct throughout the season (p < 0.05). Female athletes experience significant physiological changes following high TL and EEE associated with preseason and appear to be further exacerbated by the cumulative effects of the season. Unique insights provided by biomarkers enable athletes and coaches to be cognizant of the physiological changes that are occurring throughout the season.

Abstract
Harty, PS, Zabriskie, HA, Stecker, RA, Currier, BS, Moon, JM, Richmond, SR, Jagim, AR, and Kerksick, CM. Position-specific body composition values in female collegiate rugby union athletes. J Strength Cond Res 35(11): 3158–3163, 2021—Rugby union is a full-contact, intermittent team sport. Anthropometric characteristics of rugby union athletes have been shown to influence suitability for a given position and affect performance. However, little anthropometric data exist in female rugby union athletes. Thus, the purpose of this study was to report position-specific anthropometric, body composition, and bone density values in female collegiate rugby union athletes and to identify between-position differences in these variables. This investigation was a cross-sectional study involving 101 female collegiate rugby union athletes, categorized as forwards and backs as well as by position (props, hookers, locks, flankers, number 8 forwards, halfback, fly-half, centers, wings, and fullbacks). Anthropometric characteristics of all athletes were measured, and body composition was assessed via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Outcome variables included age, height, body mass, BMI, body fat percentage, fat mass (FM), FM index, fat-free mass (FFM), FFM index, lean soft tissue, bone mineral content, bone mineral area, and bone mineral density. Anthropometric and body composition differences between forwards and backs were identified via independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests, depending on normality of the variable. Between-position differences were assessed using one-way analysis of variances (ANOVAs) with Tukey post-hoc comparisons or Welch's ANOVA with Dunnett's T3 post-hoc test. Significant differences (p < 0.014) were identified between forwards and backs for every anthropometric variable, with forwards displaying greater height (167.7 ± 7.2 cm), body mass (81.5 ± 15.1 kg), and body fat percentage (28.2 ± 6.1%) relative to backs (164.5 ± 5.1 cm; 64.5 ± 7.7 kg; 21.9 ± 3.7%). Likewise, significant differences were identified for every anthropometric variable between several positions (p < 0.01). Significant (p < 0.05) interposition differences were identified within the subgroup of forwards, but not within the subgroup of backs. The present investigation is the first to report position-specific anthropometric and body composition data in female collegiate rugby union athletes. The results of this study can be used by rugby union coaches for recruiting and personnel decisions, to determine a player's suitability for a given position, and to further inform training and nutritional interventions in this population.

Abstract
Duignan, CM, Slevin, PJ, Caulfield, BM, and Blake, C. Exploring the use of mobile athlete self-report measures in elite Gaelic games: A qualitative approach. J Strength Cond Res 35(12): 3491–3499, 2021—Athlete self-report measures (ASRMs) are used in research and practice as an accurate, practical, and accessible method of athlete monitoring. Mobile adaptations of constructs from validated ASRM have increasingly been used for athlete monitoring in various sports settings; however, insights on the user experience and perceived value of these systems in the applied team sport setting have been limited. This study aimed to portray the experiences of stakeholders using a pre-existing mobile ASRM (M-ASRM) in elite Gaelic games. Twenty-one stakeholders in elite Gaelic games were recruited for this study (players n = 10, coaches and support staff n = 11). Subjects completed a semistructured interview with the lead researcher regarding their experience of using an M-ASRM in practice. Thematic analysis of the transcripts was conducted using NVivo 12 software. Results were defined under the themes of positive and negative user experience. Positive user experience was portrayed through M-ASRM uses and perceived value: communication and information disclosure, remote player monitoring, decision making and advanced planning, and player education and self-management. Negative user experience was portrayed through M-ASRM challenges: player adherence, player dishonesty, coach time and expertise requirements, and sociotechnical and system factors. Results outline the major uses of M-ASRM in elite Gaelic games and, importantly, highlight the key challenges experienced by stakeholders. These results can be applied by coaches, sports medicine professionals, and sports scientists using or intending to use an M-ASRM, providing key considerations to employ for effective use in team sport.

Abstract
—We discuss the results of a model experiment on cultivation of the microbial community from the area of the Khoboy mud volcano (Akademichesky Ridge) conducted under conditions typical of the hydrocarbon generation zone (80 °C, 5 MPa). The cultivation under conditions of biomass enrichment with the Baikal diatom Synedra acus changed the composition of organic matter. The transformation degree of organic matter in the sediment after the experiment was 16%, whereas the concentration of phenanthrenes relative to methyl-substituted homologues, including retene, decreased, and the concentration of dibenzothiophenes relative to normal alkanes increased. We have identified tri- and monoaromatic steroids, including 17-dismethyl, 23-methyl monoaromatic steroids C27. An increase in the concentration of tri- and monoaromatic steroids in the sediments after the experiment might indicate that the biomass of the Baikal diatom S. acus was destructed, which led to an increase in the steroid concentration. In the control (sterile) sediment, we detected no changes in the composition of organic matter. Representatives of various taxa capable of surviving in anaerobic thermophilic conditions have been identified in the microbial community by molecular genetic methods. Their presence in the surface sediments might be due to the inflow of deep-seated mineralized fluids and breccia from deep-seated sedimentary rocks.

Background: Psychosocial risk factors (RFs) play a major role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).Aim. The COMET study aimed to obtain current data on psychosocial RFs in outpatients with arterial hypertension (AH) and/or coronary heart disease (CHD) seen in primary care facilities in 30 cities of Russia.Methods. In 2016-2017, a multicenter cross-sectional study was carried out involving 325 physicians from community primary care facilities who enrolled 2,775 patients with AH and/or CHD ≥ 55 years of age. However, only 73 CHD patients (2.6%) were not hypertensive, therefore, these patients were excluded from the analyses. As a result, current paper is based on the comparison of AH patients (n=1687) vs. participants with both CHD and AH (AH+CHD; n=1015). We collected patients’ socio-demographic data, clinical features, traditional and psychosocial RFs, such as anxiety and depression, stress level, type D personality, and treatment adherence.Results. The study population (women, 72%; mean age ± SD, 66.7 ± 7.9 years) had a significant prevalence of psychosocial RF. 43.8% of AH patients and 45.5 % of participants with AH+CHD rated their income as low or very low, a low educational level was reported in 21.6% and 26.0%, respectively (both p=n/s). Social isolation was uncommon, but it occurred more frequently in AH+CHD patients (8.3% vs. 5.2%, p<0.01). Nevertheless, 40.2% of AH patients and 39.4% of AH+CHD were not married, and 26.0% and 24.6% were living alone, respectively. Elevated stress level was prevalent in more than 60% of patients (67.9% in AH patients vs. 67.7% in AH+CHD patents, p=n/s), and 63.3% and 64.8% of patients, respectively, reported stressful life events in the preceding year (p=n/s). Type D personality was more common in AH+CHD patients (41.2% vs. 35.8%; p<0.01). Clinically significant anxiety symptoms were prevalent in 24.7% ofAH patients and in 27.4% ofAH+CHD patients (p=n/s), and clinically significant depressive symptoms were identified in 13.9% and 20.9%, respectively (p<0.001).Conclusion. We obtained current data on psychosocial RFs prevalence in outpatients with the most common CVDs in primary care setting. At the moment, their prevalence remains significant.

Relevanct of the research topic. One of the possible causes of apical periodontitis is the infectious inflammatory process of the periapical periodontal tissues. The microflora of the root canal system is represented by various microorganisms, among which streptococci, enterococci and staphylococci most often prevail. The complex anatomy of the root canal system ensures the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, and the endodontic treatment does not always contribute to their qualitative and quantitative reduction.
Purpose ― study of the effectiveness of endodontic treatment of chronic apical periodontitis in the near and long term.
Methods. We observed 110 patients aged 20 to 30 years with apical periodontitis, bone density analysis and microbiological examination of the contents of the root canal. Depending on the obtained clinical and laboratory data, the patients were divided into two clinical groups: in group I endodontic treatment of 55 teeth was carried out according to the scheme developed by us; in group II — 55 teeth using the standard method of treatment.
Results. In endodontic treatment of chronic apical periodontitis, treatment of the root canal system with a diode laser promotes better decontamination of the microflora. Coal mining introduction into the root canal system and in the region of the transition folds of the platelet autoplasma leads to an increase of the reparative process in the periapical region (p≤0.05).
Summary. The inclusion in the Protocol of endodontic treatment of apical periodontitis of treatment of the root canal system with a diode laser and injection of platelet autoplasm is a more effective method of treatment in comparison with the traditional one.

Published: August 2019

Resin in sand-resin mixes in the course of heating at production of casting shell molds undergoes changes of a state: solid – liquid – solid. For the purpose of increase in durability and decrease in contents of binding (pulverbakelit) in mix when forming a shell, along with thermal influence, the static pressure, the resines changing in compliance with change of aggregate state was used. Basic pressure is 0.25 MPas and moves through a press plate right after filling of mix on heated up to 230 °C model plate. In 10 seconds pressure increases up to 0.35 MPas. And in 10 seconds pressure goes down to 0.2 MPas. It is experimentally defined that the castings received in the shell forms made with use of variable pressure have the minimum and uniform internal tension. Also researches showed that such castings have high purity of a surface (Rz 70–80) and lack of internal defects.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Live visualisation of embryo development is a powerful tool for scientists to understand how morphogenetic events shape the embryo. Here, we report on a culturing technique that allows live imaging of pre- and peri-implantation mouse embryos throughout the process of blastocyst to egg cylinder transition, enabling single cell tracking and delineation of the tissue dynamics accompanying this morphogenetic stage. At the same time, this protocol can be used for pharmacological manipulations of mouse embryos.

Abstract
Background

Skipping breakfast and replacing it with non-nutritious snacks are progressively increasing among adolescents. This study aimed to develop an educational intervention based on The Social Marketing Model and evaluate its effects on healthy breakfast and snack consumption among female adolescent students.

Methods

This mixed method study was conducted in 2016–2018 in two phases. In the first phase, a qualitative study was conducted through directed content analysis in guidance schools in Khorramabad, Isfahan, and Tehran, Iran, to explore factors affecting breakfast consumption. The results of this phase were set in the benchmarks of the Social Marketing Model. In the second phase, a randomized controlled trial was conducted based on the benchmarks of the Social Marketing Model on 94 students randomly recruited from guidance schools in Khorramabad, Iran.

Results

The findings of the qualitative phase were categorized into the benchmarks of the Social Marketing Model, namely the social marketing mix, the intended behavior, internal and external competing factors for behavior modification, theoretical concepts related to the behavior, and the role of supporters. In the quantitative phase, the univariate modeling showed significant between-group differences concerning the product, price, promotion, and behavior (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

Healthy breakfast and snack consumption can be promoted through making acceptable the tastes, costs, preparations, and consumption places of breakfast and snack.
