Abstract
Kniffin, KM, Howley, T, and Bardreau, C. Putting muscle into sports analytics: strength, conditioning, and ice hockey performance. J Strength Cond Res 31(12): 3253–3259, 2017—Sports analytics is best known as the field of research that focuses on discovering slight but significant improvements within competitions; however, broader sets of athlete- and team-level data from outside competitions (e.g., strength and conditioning metrics) have been typically left out from such analyses. Given that strength and conditioning programs are perhaps the most common avenue through which people expect extra-competition progress to translate into within-competition performance, it is clear that strength and conditioning metrics warrant closer analytic attention. To illustrate this approach, we present a study of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1 Men's Ice Hockey players that integrates both (a) strength and conditioning metrics and (b) in-game performance measurements. Bivariate analyses show a significant positive correlation between bench press performance and points scored (r = 0.15), although multivariate analyses point to positive relationships between strength and conditioning measures and playing time as the more important finding. Although within-competition data are increasingly accessible for analytics research, the basic approach that we develop highlights the importance of considering extra-competition variables such as strength and conditioning metrics for understanding both coaching decisions regarding playing time and within-competition performance. We also discuss ways in which the integrated approach that we present offers potential applications for strength and conditioning professionals as well as players, coaches, and team managers.

Abstract
Sharma, HB and Kailashiya, J. Effects of 6-week sprint-strength and agility training on body composition, cardiovascular, and physiological parameters of male field hockey players. J Strength Cond Res 32(4): 894–901, 2018—Optimal physiological and cardiovascular characteristics are essential for optimal physical performance. Different types of training regimes affect these characteristics and lead to trainees' adaptation and changes in relevant parameters. In the present interventional study, we have evaluated the effects of 6-week sprint-strength and agility training on such parameters. Twenty-four young Indian national hockey players volunteered for this study. Body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), percentage body fat, lean body mass (LBM), resting heart rate (rHR), resting blood pressure (rBP), resting double-product (rDP), P/power (using Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test), vertical jump (VJ), seated shot put test (SP), ball-hitting speed (BS), Tm (505-agility test), and V̇o
2max were measured, and changes (d) after specified training regime were studied. The training proved to be “short yet effective.” Significant improvements after training were found in body composition, cardiovascular, aerobic, anaerobic, strength, agility, and performance-related parameters; but not in BW, BMI, P/LBM, SP/LBM, and V̇o
2max/LBM. Change in VJ (dVJ) was associated with change in Tm (dTm); change in SP (dSP) with change in VO2max, which also related to change in rHR, rBP and rDP. Change in BS (dBS) was more among those with lower initial BW, BMI, and BF. dBS, along with change in VO2max/LBM, was more mainly among those with lower initial anaerobic-aerobic fitness. The findings will be useful for coaches, sports managers, players, and also for general population for better, individual, and sport-based designing of “short yet effective” training programs and monitoring of outcomes. Specific physiological parameter improvement–targeted training can also be designed based on this research.
Functional Segregation and Development of Mouse Higher Visual Areas
Authors: Murakami Tomonari , Matsui Teppei , Ohki Kenichi 
Published: August 2017

Recent studies suggest that higher visual areas (HVAs) in the mouse visual cortex are segregated anatomically into two visual streams, likely analogous to the ventral and dorsal streams in primates. However, HVAs in mice have yet to be characterized functionally. Moreover, it is unknown when the functional segregation of HVAs occurs during development. Here, we investigated spatiotemporal selectivity of HVAs and their development using wide-field calcium imaging. We found that lateral HVAs in the anatomical ventral stream shared similar spatiotemporal selectivity, whereas the spatiotemporal selectivity of anterior and medial HVAs in the anatomical dorsal stream was not uniform and these areas were segregated functionally into multiple groups. This functional segregation of HVAs developed and reached an adult-like pattern ∼10 d after eye opening (EO). These results suggest, not only the functional segregation of ventral and dorsal streams, but also the presence of multiple substreams in the dorsal stream, and indicate that the functional segregation of visual streams occurs gradually after EO.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTInvestigation of the spatiotemporal selectivity of nine higher visual areas (HVAs) in adult and developing mice revealed that lateral HVAs belonging to the putative ventral stream shared similar spatiotemporal selectivity, whereas the spatiotemporal selectivity of anterior and medial HVAs belonging to the putative dorsal stream was not uniform and these areas were segregated functionally into multiple groups. These results suggest the presence of multiple substreams within the putative dorsal stream for visuospatial processing. Furthermore, we found that initially immature functional segregation among HVAs developed to an adult-like pattern ∼10 d after eye opening. These results provide a foundation for using mouse HVAs as a model to understand parallel processing and its developmental mechanism.
Corelease of Inhibitory Neurotransmitters in the Mouse Auditory Midbrain
Authors: Moore Lucille A. , Trussell Laurence O. 
Published: August 2017

The central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC) of the auditory midbrain, which integrates most ascending auditory information from lower brainstem regions, receives prominent long-range inhibitory input from the ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (VNLL), a region thought to be important for temporal pattern discrimination. Histological evidence suggests that neurons in the VNLL release both glycine and GABA in the ICC, but functional evidence for their corelease is lacking. We took advantage of theGlyT2-Cremouse line (both male and female) to target expression of ChR2 to glycinergic afferents in the ICC and made whole-cell recordingsin vitrowhile exciting glycinergic fibers with light. Using this approach, it was clear that a significant fraction of glycinergic boutons corelease GABA in the ICC. Viral injections were used to target ChR2 expression specifically to glycinergic fibers ascending from the VNLL, allowing for activation of fibers from a single source of ascending input in a way that has not been previously possible in the ICC. We then investigated aspects of the glycinergic versus GABAergic current components to probe functional consequences of corelease. Surprisingly, the time course and short-term plasticity of synaptic signaling were nearly identical for the two transmitters. We therefore conclude that the two neurotransmitters may be functionally interchangeable and that multiple receptor subtypes subserving inhibition may offer diverse mechanisms for maintaining inhibitory homeostasis.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTCorelease of neurotransmitters is a common feature of the brain. GABA and glycine corelease is particularly common in the spinal cord and brainstem, but its presence in the midbrain is unknown. We show corelease of GABA and glycine for the first time in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus of the auditory midbrain. Glycine and GABA are both inhibitory neurotransmitters involved in fast synaptic transmission, so we explored differences between the currents to establish a physiological foundation for functional differencesin vivo. In contrast to the auditory brainstem, coreleased GABAergic and glycinergic currents in the midbrain are strikingly similar. This apparent redundancy may ensure homeostasis if one neurotransmitter system is compromised.

Published: August 2017

Glucocerebrosidase 1 (GBA) mutations responsible for Gaucher disease (GD) are the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the genetic link between GD and PD is well established, the underlying molecular mechanism(s) are not well understood. We propose that glucosylsphingosine, a sphingolipid accumulating in GD, mediates PD pathology inGBA-associated PD. We show that, whereas GD-related sphingolipids (glucosylceramide, glucosylsphingosine, sphingosine, sphingosine-1-phosphate) promote α-synuclein aggregationin vitro, glucosylsphingosine triggers the formation of oligomeric α-synuclein species capable of templating in human cells and neurons. Using newly generated GD/PD mouse lines of either sex [Gbamutant (N370S, L444P, KO) crossed to α-synuclein transgenics], we show thatGbamutations predispose to PD through a loss-of-function mechanism. We further demonstrate that glucosylsphingosine specifically accumulates in young GD/PD mouse brain. With age, brains exhibit glucosylceramide accumulations colocalized with α-synuclein pathology. These findings indicate that glucosylsphingosine promotes pathological aggregation of α-synuclein, increasing PD risk in GD patients and carriers.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTParkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder in the aging population. Glucocerebrosidase 1 mutations, which cause Gaucher disease, are the most common genetic risk factor for PD, underscoring the importance of delineating the mechanisms underlying mutantGBA-associated PD. We show that lipids accumulating in Gaucher disease, especially glucosylsphingosine, play a key role in PD pathology in the brain. These data indicate that ASAH1 (acid ceramidase 1) and GBA2 (glucocerebrosidase 2) enzymes that mediate glucosylsphingosine production and metabolism are attractive therapeutic targets for treating mutantGBA-associated PD.
Quality Improvement Strategies for Population Management of Children With Medical Complexity
Authors: Lail Jennifer , Fields Elise , Schoettker Pamela J. 
Published: August 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Children with medical complexity require the expertise of specialists and hospitals but may lack primary care to provide preventive, acute, and chronic care management. The Complex Care Center (CCC) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center employed quality improvement methodologies in 3 initiatives to improve care for this fragile population.

METHODS:
Improvement activities focused on 3 main areas: population identification and stratification for care support, reliable delivery of preventive and chronic care, and planned care to identify and coordinate needed services.

RESULTS:
The percent of patients who attended a well-child care visit in the previous 13 months increased 91% and was sustained for the next year. The median monthly no-show rate remained unchanged. Within 10 months of implementing the interventions, &gt;90% of CCC patients &lt;7 years of age were receiving all recommended vaccines. Seventy-two percent of all CCC patients received their annual influenza vaccine. A sustained 98% to 100% of children with a complex chronic disease received previsit planning (PVP) for their well-child care and chronic condition management visits, whereas only 1 new patient did not receive PVP.

CONCLUSIONS:
Children with medical complexity require adaptations to typical primary care processes to support preventive health practices, chronic and acute care management, immunization, and collaborative care with their multiple specialists and support providers. We used quality improvement methodology to identify patients with the highest needs, reliably deliver appropriate preventive and chronic care, and implement PVP.
An investigation into problematic smartphone use: The role of narcissism, anxiety, and personality factors
Authors: Hussain Zaheer , Griffiths Mark D. , Sheffield David 
Published: August 2017

Background and aims
Over the last decade, worldwide smartphone usage has greatly increased. Alongside this growth, research on the influence of smartphones on human behavior has also increased. However, a growing number of studies have shown that excessive use of smartphones can lead to detrimental consequences in a minority of individuals. This study examines the psychological aspects of smartphone use particularly in relation to problematic use, narcissism, anxiety, and personality factors.

Methods
A sample of 640 smartphone users ranging from 13 to 69 years of age (mean = 24.89 years, SD = 8.54) provided complete responses to an online survey including modified DSM-5 criteria of Internet Gaming Disorder to assess problematic smartphone use, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory.

Results
The results demonstrated significant relationships between problematic smartphone use and anxiety, conscientiousness, openness, emotional stability, the amount of time spent on smartphones, and age. The results also demonstrated that conscientiousness, emotional stability, and age were independent predictors of problematic smartphone use.

Conclusion
The findings demonstrate that problematic smartphone use is associated with various personality factors and contributes to further understanding the psychology of smartphone behavior and associations with excessive use of smartphones.

Abstract: Introduction: The 8th edition of the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) based staging of breast cancer introduces a prognostic stage influenced by biomarkers along the traditional T, N and M categories. Aim: To retrospectively assess stage influencing prognostic variables; and the anatomic and prognostic stages on the basis of the overall survival (OS) of a cohort of deceased patients once diagnosed with breast cancer. Method: We included patients with known causes of death certified at the Bács-Kiskun County Teaching Hospital and having a history of breast cancer diagnosed on a resection specimen at the same institution. Prognostic factors were obtained from the histopathological reports. Statistics included one-way ANOVA, Dunn’s post hoc test and Kaplan-Meier curve analyses. Results: The 303 patients grouped as breast cancer related death (n = 168) or unrelated (n = 135) showed significant differences in most stage defining prognostic factors and the anatomic and prognostic stages. Significant differences in 5-year OS were observed between pT and pN categories, histological grades and estrogen receptor statuses. Except for stages I and II, significant differences were found between both different anatomic and prognostic stages (p<0.001). Stage IV is by definition uniform, but we identified survival differences between biomarker based subgroups: triple negative carcinomas had worse OS than estrogen receptor positive and HER2 negative carcinomas. Conclusions: Our analysis based on real survival data suggests that the prognostic stages separate patients according to OS similarly to the anatomic stages. The results validate the prognostic stages, but also suggest that separating stage IV disease according to biomarkers makes sense. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(35): 1373–1381.
The Use of Whole Body Cooling in the Treatment of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy
Authors: Harriman Tiffany , Bradshaw Wanda T. , Blake Stephanie M. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractHypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy occurs as a result of a perinatal hypoxic-ischemic event just prior to or during delivery. Therapeutic hypothermia using whole body cooling is the current treatment of choice to reduce brain injury and improve long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes for neonates with HIE. All English language articles published since 2005 in PubMed and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) were analyzed for existing evidence-based methods for whole body cooling. Whole body cooling is effective in the treatment of HIE in term and near-term neonates. Further research is needed to investigate the use of adjunctive therapies in conjunction with whole body cooling for improved neuroprotection.
The Effect of Education on Chlorhexidine Use in the NICU
Authors: Pettit Janet Delong , Sharpe Elizabeth Li 
Published: August 2017

AbstractBackground: Neonates are at greater risk for central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) because of prolonged vascular access for nutrition and medications. Skin antisepsis using chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), particularly the formulation with alcohol (CHG/alcohol), during central line insertion and maintenance activities is a key clinical care process associated with CLABSI reduction. One area of ongoing confusion for many clinicians is whether to adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations that CHG remain on the skin following the procedure to promote persistent microbicidal effects or to foster product removal in hopes of preventing skin-related complications.Purpose: Determine the effect of a targeted education program on the knowledge and attitudes of nurses who place peripherally inserted central catheters in the NICU regarding the use and removal of CHG antiseptic.Methods: A quasi-experimental presurvey/postsurvey quality improvement project (QI project) recruited participants from the electronic mailing list of a national neonatal nursing organization.Results: There was a statistically significant deficiency in knowledge or misinformation related to the use of CHG/alcohol on the presurvey assessment. Eight questions reflecting knowledge consistent with most recent evidence were answered correctly only 11.4–25.7 percent of the time, all of which were considered statistically significant. Following completion of the education program, a nearly 100 percent correct response rate on all but three postsurvey questions resulted.Conclusions: This quality improvement project demonstrated success in the ability to change knowledge surrounding the removal of CHG/alcohol from the skin of babies in the NICU following completion of a targeted education program and the effectiveness of targeted web-based educational programs.
