Assessing muscular power in older adults: evaluating the predictive capacity of the 30-second chair rise test
Authors: Mahato Niladri Kumar , Davis Alexandria , Simon Janet E. , Clark Brian C. 
Published: March 2024

Background: Timed chair rise tests are frequently used as a substitute for assessing leg muscle strength or power. To determine if timed chair rise tests are an indicator of lower extremity muscle power, we examined the relationship between the repetitions completed in a 30-s chair rise test and the power generated during the test.Methods: Seventy-five individuals participated in this study (n = 30 &lt; 65 years and 45 ≥ 65 years). Participants underwent a 30-s chair rise test while instrumented with a power analyzer. Handgrip strength was also evaluated.Results: The relationship between chair rise repetitions and average chair rise power was R2 = 0.32 (p &lt; 0.001). Chair rise repetitions when regressed on a total (i.e., summed) chair rise power, it yielded R2 = 0.70 with data from all participants combined (p &lt; 0.001). A mediation analysis indicated that anthropometrics partially mediates the relationship between chair rise repetitions and total chair rise power accounting for 2.8%–6.9% of the variance.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that in older adults, the overall performance of chair rises offers limited information about the average power per rise but is more indicative of the cumulative power exerted. Thus, the total number of chair rises in a 30-s test is likely a more comprehensive metric of overall muscular power, reflecting endurance aspects as well. Additionally, we found that personal physical attributes, such as height and weight, partially influence the link between chair rise count and total power, highlighting the importance of factoring in individual body metrics in assessments of muscular performance.

Published: March 2024

IntroductionAcute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is one of the most aggressive hematological neoplasms, emphasizing the critical need for early detection and strategic treatment planning. The association between prompt intervention and enhanced patient survival rates underscores the pivotal role of therapy decisions. To determine the treatment protocol, specialists heavily rely on prognostic predictions that consider the response to treatment and clinical outcomes. The existing risk classification system categorizes patients into favorable, intermediate, and adverse groups, forming the basis for personalized therapeutic choices. However, accurately assessing the intermediate-risk group poses significant challenges, potentially resulting in treatment delays and deterioration of patient conditions.MethodsThis study introduces a decision support system leveraging cutting-edge machine learning techniques to address these issues. The system automatically recommends tailored oncology therapy protocols based on outcome predictions.ResultsThe proposed approach achieved a high performance close to 0.9 in F1-Score and AUC. The model generated with gene expression data exhibited superior performance.DiscussionOur system can effectively support specialists in making well-informed decisions regarding the most suitable and safe therapy for individual patients. The proposed decision support system has the potential to not only streamline treatment initiation but also contribute to prolonged survival and improved quality of life for individuals diagnosed with AML. This marks a significant stride toward optimizing therapeutic interventions and patient outcomes.

IntroductionThe study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel multicomponent substance against combined exposure to the mycotoxins zearalenone (ZEN) and ochratoxin A (OTA) in weaned piglets.MethodsIn total, 60 piglets at the age of 28 days were equally allocated to four experimental groups (A–D), consisting of eight female and seven male piglets each (15 animals per group, for a total trial duration of 42 days). Animals from group A received typical weaner feed without mycotoxins or the test product [multicomponent mycotoxin detoxifying agent (MMDA)]. Group B animals received the same weaner feed contaminated with 0.992 mg ZEN/kg feed and 0.531 mg OTA/kg feed without the addition of the MMDA. Animals in group C received the same contaminated feed as group B with the addition of 1.5 g MMDA/kg feed, whereas group D received the same feed as group B with the inclusion of 3 g MMDA/kg feed. Clinical signs and performance parameters [body weight (BW), average daily weight gain (ADWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR)] were evaluated, while mycotoxin residues were also assessed in the liver and kidney tissues.ResultsFindings showed improved FCR in the group that received the greatest dose of the test product (3 g MMDA/kg feed) compared to the group that received the lower dose (1.5 g MMDA/kg feed). A few hematological and biochemical parameters were slightly altered, predominantly within normal limits. The residue analysis demonstrated a reduction of OTA in liver samples, a-ZEL in the liver and total tested samples, and a total of ZEN and metabolite contents in all samples of the group that received the greatest MMDA dose in comparison to the group that received the toxins without the addition of the test product.DiscussionTherefore, a positive effect of the MMDA at the greatest dosage regime on reducing bioavailability and tissue deposition of ZEN and OTA, with a particularly positive effect on FCR in weaned pigs, is suggested under concurrent ZEN and OTA exposure in vivo.

Objective: To compare health service use (HSU) between migrants and non-migrants in Germany.Methods: Using data from the population-based German National Cohort (NAKO), we compared the HSU of general practitioners, medical specialists, and psychologists/psychiatrists between six migrant groups of different origins with the utilization of non-migrants. A latent profile analysis (LPA) with a subsequent multinomial regression analysis was conducted to characterize the HSU of different groups. Additionally, separate regression models were calculated. Both analyses aimed to estimate the direct effect of migration background on HSU.Results: In the LPA, the migrant groups showed no relevant differences compared to non-migrants regarding HSU. In separate analyses, general practitioners and medical specialists were used comparably to slightly more often by first-generation migrants from Eastern Europe, Turkey, and resettlers. In contrast, the use of psychologists/psychiatrists was substantially lower among those groups. Second-generation migrants and migrants from Western countries showed no differences in their HSU compared to non-migrants.Conclusion: We observed a low mental HSU among specific migrant groups in Germany. This indicates the existence of barriers among those groups that need to be addressed.
Characteristics of a Particle’s Incipient Motion from a Rough Wall in Shear Flow of Herschel–Bulkley Fluid

Published: March 2024

A numerical simulation of the Herschel–Bulkley laminar steady state shear flow around a stationary particle located on a sedimentation layer was carried out. The surface of the sedimentation layer was formed by hemispheres of the same radius as the particle. The drag force, lift force, and torque values were obtained in the following ranges: shear Reynolds numbers for a particle ReSH=2–200, corresponding to laminar flow; power law index n=0.6–1.0; and Bingham number Bn=0–10. A significant difference in the forces and torque acting on a particle in shear flow in comparison to the case of a smooth wall is shown. It is shown that the drag coefficient is on average 6% higher compared to a smooth wall for a Newtonian fluid but decreases with the increase in non-Newtonian properties. At the edge values of n=0.6 and Bn=10, the drag is on average 25% lower compared to the smooth wall. For a Newtonian fluid, the lift coefficient is on average 30% higher compared to a smooth wall. It also decreases with the increase in non-Newtonian properties of the fluid, but at the edge values of n=0.6 and Bn=10, it is on average only 3% lower compared to the smooth wall. Approximation functions for the drag, lift force, and torque coefficient are constructed. A reduction in the drag force and lifting force leads to an increase in critical stresses (Shields number) on the wall on average by 10% for incipient motion (rolling) and by 12% for particle detachment from the sedimentation bed.

Authors: Verity Aaminah , Tzortziou Brown Victoria 
Published: March 2024

Background
General practice has seen the widespread adoption of remote consulting and triage systems. There is a lack of evidence exploring how inclusion health populations have been impacted by this transformation.

Aim
This study aimed to explore the post-pandemic GP access for inclusion health populations, through the lens of those with lived experience, and identify practical recommendations for improving access for this population.

Design & setting
A mixed-methods study exploring the direct experience of people from inclusion health groups trying to access GP care in 13 practices in east London.

Method
A mystery shopper exercise involving 39 in-person practice visits and 13 phone calls were undertaken. The findings were reflected on by a multidisciplinary stakeholder group, which identified recommendations for improvements.

Results

Only 31% of the mystery shopper visits (
n
= 8) resulted in registration and the offer of an appointment to see a GP for an urgent problem. None of the mystery shoppers was able to book an appointment over the phone but
n
= 10/13 felt that they would be able to register and make an appointment if they followed the receptionist's instructions. Most mystery shoppers felt respected, listened to, and understood the information provided to them. Just under half of the practices (46%,
n
= 6) received positive comments on how accessible and supportive their spaces felt. Practice- and system-level recommendations were identified by the stakeholder group.

Conclusion
Ongoing GP access issues persist for inclusion health populations. We identified practice- and system-level recommendations for improving access for this vulnerable population.
Exploring Volatility Spillover Dynamics between Emerging South Asian Stock Markets and the U.S. Market: Empirical Insights from the M-GARCH-BEKK Framework
Authors: Khan Muhammad Niaz , Khan Rahim Ullah 
Published: March 2024

Abstract:
This study investigates the volatility spillover between emerging South Asian equity markets and developed U.S. market. Specifically, the study examines the entire sample period and three sub-periods: pre-crisis, crisis, and post-Global Financial Crisis (GFC) periods in the emerging markets of Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka, as well as the U.S. as developed stock market. The study analyses both unidirectional and bidirectional shock and volatility spillover among the markets to determine the direction of risk transmissions. The analysis utilizes a multivariate GARCH-BEKK model. The results indicate that volatility transmissions increased due to the GFC. Furthermore, the South Asian emerging markets exhibit shock and volatility spillover during the crisis period compared to the pre- and post-crisis periods. Additionally, the patterns of risk transmission were time-varying. These findings support the notion that market volatility increases during turbulent events, such as the Global Financial Crisis. The implications of these results are important for policymakers, investors, and researchers interested in international diversification and market efficiency within the studied markets especially during turbulent periods.

« Faire communauté » dans l’écriture musicale
Authors: Gohon Kevin 
Published: March 2024

Cet article propose d’aborder le rapport de l’écriture musicale à l’expression de l’idée de communauté à travers les œuvres de Luigi Nono. Son écriture s’inscrit dès les années 1960 dans une démarche militante tentant de représenter une idée de communauté en déployant une dimension collective à tous les paramètres du théâtre musical. Le style tardif de Luigi Nono tend, à la suite de cette démarche, à s’éloigner de l’articulation d’un discours musical pour offrir une expérience sonore de l’exigence communautaire.
