BACKGROUND
With the continuous growth of the modern elderly population, the risk of fracture increases. Hip fracture is a common type of fracture in older people. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has significant advantages in relieving chronic pain and promoting the recovery of hip joint function.
AIM
To investigate the effect of ulinastatin combined with dexmedetomidine (Dex) on the incidences of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and emergence agitation in elderly patients who underwent THA.
METHODS
A total of 397 patients who underwent THA from February 2019 to August 2022. We conducted a three-year retrospective cohort study in Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital. Comprehensive demographic data were obtained from the electronic medical record system. We collected preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data. One hundred twenty-nine patients who were administered Dex during the operation were included in the Dex group. One hundred fifty patients who were intravenously injected with ulinastatin 15 min before anesthesia induction were included in the ulinastatin group. One hundred eighteen patients who were administered ulinastatin combined with Dex during the operation were included in the Dex + ulinastatin group. The patients’ perioperative conditions, hemodynamic indexes, postoperative Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, Ramsay score, incidence of POCD, and serum inflammatory cytokines were evaluated.
RESULTS
There was a significant difference in the 24 h visual analogue scale score among the three groups, and the score in the Dex + ulinastatin group was the lowest (P < 0.05). Compared with the Dex and ulinastatin group, the MMSE scores of the Dex + ulinastatin group were significantly increased at 1 and 7 d after the operation (all P < 0.05). Compared with those in the Dex and ulinastatin groups, incidence of POCD, levels of serum inflammatory cytokines in the Dex + ulinastatin group were significantly decreased at 1 and 7 d after the operation (all P < 0.05). The observer’s assessment of the alertness/sedation score and Ramsay score of the Dex + ulinastatin group were significantly different from those of the Dex and ulinastatin groups on the first day after the operation (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Ulinastatin combined with Dex can prevent the occurrence of POCD and emergence agitation in elderly patients undergoing THA.

Catharanthus roseus is a prominent medicinal plant containing quantities expressive of alkaloids vincristine and vinblastine in its tissues. For this reason its use has been used in the treatment of cancer patients. Also it plays a significant role with use in floriculture, due to its variety of flower colors, because they are used more and more in landscaping projects. To potentiate its use, know its genetic diversity becomes important to optimization of the improvement of species. Thus, this work aimed to analyze the effect of 17 quantitative morphological variables to the distinction genotypes of C. roseus and to evaluate the genetic variability. Therefore, an experiment was carried out, evaluating ten commercial varieties of C. roseus, in greenhouse, in a randomized block design, with three replications. After 100 days of planting, the morphological profiles of the varieties were analyzed using image phenotyping. Through the analysis of genetic dissimilarity, the varieties were categorized into three groups, and the leaf traits were the ones that most contributed to this categorization. Therefore, the morphological characterization was efficient to characterize the phenotypic variability of the evaluated genotypes.

Published: January 2024

In order to find significant patterns and fresh ideas, free-form content is transformed into structured format using a process known as text mining or text data mining. It enables businesses to easily locate important information in texts like emails, social media posts, support requests, chatbots, and other sorts of text. Text mining enables businesses to anticipate possible threats from rivals, react quickly to production or delivery problems, and provide more individualised customer service. Businesses employ text mining for a range of functions, including production, IT, marketing, sales, and customer service. By carefully examining the phrases used in the source texts, topic modelling aims to pinpoint the recurrent themes in a corpus. These concepts are known as “topics”. As a result, textual data may be measured and used in quantitative analysis. In this sector, there are several subject modelling kinds that differ from one another based on a few unique traits and criteria. In our paper we have represented mainly 3 types of topic modelling techniques namely Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP), and Latent Dirichlet Analysis (LDA) and calculated the coherence score of each method and compared them. And we have infused the concept of BERT with this topic modelling models and proposed a new model called HDP BERT and calculated the coherence Score and clusters the topics. At the end the n-grams features are applied to all 4 models and compared among each other in bases of uni, bi and trigram rate percentage.

The increase in the demand for and practice of physical activity is increasing the number of sports injuries and accidents. In view of this premise, the aim of this research is to analyse the accident rate in the practice of physical activity in different modalities in open and closed spaces. To this end, the PRISMA statement has been followed, covering the articles located in the Web of Science over the last five years. The research terms were "sport", "physical activity" and "accident" and included research with a quantitative and qualitative methodological design, obtaining a body of 20 articles. The main results obtained in outdoor sports show that the activities that cause the most sports accidents are those that take place in the natural environment, and that the most experienced practitioners are those who suffer the most serious accidents in winter sports. Finally, in indoor sports, the most alternative modalities were analysed, however, it was not possible to establish the causes and factors that occurred, due to the modality of the sports.

The objective of this study was to compare fitness test results between playing position groups of college football players and to analyze the association of lean mass percentage with fitness tests. Eighty-seven football players were assessed for lean mass and seven fitness tests. Differences were found between linemen, big skill players and skill players (p ≤ .001) on fitness tests. Negative associations were found for quickness and agility tests (p ≤ .001), and positive associations were found for strength and jumping tests (p ≤ .001) with lean mass. Linemen were the lowest in lean mass and slowest in the physical tests; and skill players represented the highest lean mass values with the best physical test scores.
El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los resultados de las pruebas de aptitud física entre grupos de posición de juego de jugadores de fútbol americano universitarios y analizar la asociación del porcentaje de la masa magra con las pruebas de aptitud física. Se evaluó a 87 jugadores de fútbol americano la masa magra y siete pruebas de aptitud física. Se encontraron diferencias entre los linieros, jugadores grandes de habilidad y jugadores de habilidad (p ≤ .001) en las pruebas de aptitud física. Se hallaron asociaciones negativas en las pruebas de rapidez y agilidad (p ≤ .001), y asociaciones positivas en las pruebas de fuerza y salto (p ≤ .001) con la masa magra. Los linieros fueron los de menor masa magra y más lentos en las pruebas físicas; y los jugadores de habilidad son los que representan mejores valores de masa magra con mejores resultados en las pruebas físicas.

The closure of educational centers was one of the first measures against COVID-19, preventing physical education in classrooms. The aim of this study is to analyze the physical activity practice of adolescent students before and during the COVID-19 lockdown period in Spain. A total of 4508 high school students with a mean age of 15.8 years (±1.1 years) completed the IPAQ Questionnaire short version. The results show how students significantly decreased the duration and frequency of physical activity during confinement. The expenditure in MET-minutes/week has decreased by 46.8%, highlighting the low intensity activity "walking" which has decreased by 91.1% between both periods. The percentage of students performing a low level of physical activity has increased from 24.1% before confinement to 41.3% during this period. However, 36% of the students performing a low level of physical activity before quarantine have gone on to perform a medium or high level of physical activity during quarantine. These results help to understand and analyze the behavior of adolescent students during the lockdown period.
El cierre de los centros educativos fue una de las primeras medidas frente al COVID-19, impidiendo la realización de educación física de manera presencial en las aulas. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la práctica de actividad física de los estudiantes adolescentes antes y durante el periodo de confinamiento del COVID-19 en España. Un total de 4508 estudiantes de secundaria con una edad media de 15.8 años (±1.1 años) completaron el Cuestionario IPAQ versión corta. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes han disminuido significativamente la duración y frecuencia de actividad física durante el confinamiento. El gasto en MET-minutos/semana ha disminuido un 46.8%, destacando la actividad de baja intensidad “caminar” que ha disminuido un 91.1% entre ambos periodos. El porcentaje de estudiantes que realizan un nivel bajo de actividad física ha pasado de un 24.1% antes del confinamiento a un 41.3% durante este periodo. No obstante, un 36% de los estudiantes con un nivel bajo de actividad física antes de la cuarentena han pasado a realizar un nivel medio o alto de actividad física durante la cuarentena. Estos resultados ayudan a conocer y analizar el comportamiento de los estudiantes adolescentes durante el periodo de confinamiento.

Published: January 2024

This study seeks to investigate the importance, and the effect of using special exercises using VR4z glasses on some compound skills and tactical behavior of young football players. Virtual reality glasses are one of the modern means that play an important role in developing intelligence and creating a clear picture of the performance of compound skills. It also has advantages that make the player live the atmosphere of the match in all its aspects, which leads to a high concentration and here lies the importance of research in the development of compound skills during matches. As for the research problem, the authors believe that most of the trainers do not use modern electronic means to develop compound skills through training, rather giving actual exercises on the field only, while the mental aspect is important when training and facilitates the process of mastery. Hence, the authors try to adopt VR4z glasses in the training process through special exercises in order to know the extent of their impact on the research sample.
Este estudio busca investigar la importancia y el efecto del uso de ejercicios especiales con gafas VR4z sobre algunas habilidades compuestas y el comportamiento táctico de jóvenes jugadores de fútbol. Las gafas de realidad virtual son uno de los medios modernos que desempeñan un papel importante en el desarrollo de la inteligencia y en la creación de una imagen clara del desempeño de las habilidades complejas. También tiene ventajas que hacen que el jugador viva el ambiente del partido en todos sus aspectos, lo que conduce a una alta concentración y aquí radica la importancia de la investigación en el desarrollo de habilidades compuestas durante los partidos. En cuanto al problema de la investigación, los autores creen que la mayoría de los entrenadores no utilizan medios electrónicos modernos para desarrollar habilidades compuestas a través del entrenamiento, sino que solo realizan ejercicios reales en el campo, mientras que el aspecto mental es importante durante el entrenamiento y facilita el proceso de dominio. Por ello, los autores intentan adoptar gafas VR4z en el proceso de formación mediante ejercicios especiales para conocer el alcance de su impacto en la muestra de investigación.

Published: January 2024

Background: Numerous researches have been carried out in order to determine the most effective physical therapy strategy for treating nonspecific neck pain (NSNP). Purpose: To contrast between the outcomes of Graston Technique (GT) and Muscle Energy Technique (MET) on both pain intensity and functional disability in patients with NSNP. Methods: Forty-two (30 males and 12 females) patients with NSNP divided randomly into three groups: Group A: received Graston Technique and traditional physiotherapy treatment (TPT), Group B: received muscle energy technique and TPT, and Group C: received TPT only. Intervention lasted for 12 sessions (3 per week). At the start and finish of the fourth week, a visual analogue scale was used to quantify pain intensity and a neck disability index (NDI) questionnaire was used to measure functional disability. Results: There were significant mean effects of time (pre/post) and intervention group (Graston, MET, conventional) and significant interaction on pain and disability (p<0.05). MET group had higher changes in the pain than both Graston and control groups (p<0.05). However, no significant differences among groups in the functional change. Conclusion: GT and MET had similar effects on the function in patients with NSNP, but MET had higher effects on reducing pain.
