Abstract
Anders, JPV, Neltner, TJ, Smith, RW, Arnett, JE, Housh, TJ, Schmidt, RJ, and Johnson, GO. Unilateral and bilateral isokinetic leg extensions exhibit no differences in neuromuscular activation under maximal and fatiguing conditions. J Strength Cond Res 38(3): 474–480, 2024—The bilateral deficit is a phenomenon where force production during a bilateral (BL) muscle action is less than the sum of force produced when the muscle action is performed unilaterally (UL) with both limbs. The purpose of this study was to compare peak force, electromyographic (EMG) amplitude (AMP), and mean power frequency (MPF) of the nondominant leg between UL and BL isokinetic leg extensions. Eleven recreationally trained men (mean ± SD; age = 20.8 ± 1.7 years; body mass = 84.0 ± 16.2 kg; height = 179.3 ± 7.2 cm) volunteered to participate in this study. The 2 test visits included UL and BL maximal isokinetic leg extensions at 180°·second−1 followed by a fatiguing task of either 50 UL or 25 UL followed immediately by 25 BL (ULBL) maximal, isokinetic leg extensions at 180°·second−1, in random order on separate days. The results demonstrated a significant (p = 0.015,

= 0.460) bilateral deficit in force (UL = 56.29 ± 11.20 kg; BL = 50.32 ± 7.35 kg; d = 0.63; 95% CI [1.42, 10.52]) but no significant bilateral deficit in EMG AMP (p = 0.892,

= 0.002). The peak force during the fatiguing task demonstrated a significant main effect for repetition (p < 0.001,

= 0.943) characterized by a reduced peak force from repetitions 20–50. Similarly, EMG MPF demonstrated a significant main effect for repetition (p < 0.001,

= 0.702) characterized by a reduced EMG MPF from repetitions 35–50. There were no significant effects (p = 0.102–0.387,

= 0.096–0.203) for EMG AMP. These findings suggested that the bilateral deficit was not associated with a neuromuscular deficit and UL muscle actions may be used to potentiate force production of subsequent BL muscle actions.

Abstract
Brennan, A, Murray, A, Coughlan, D, Mountjoy, M, Wells, J, Ehlert, A, Xu, J, Broadie, M, Turner, A, and Bishop, C. Validity and reliability of the FlightScope Mevo+ launch monitor for assessing golf performance. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2023—The purpose of this study was to (a) assess the validity of the FlightScope Mevo+ against the TrackMan 4 and (b) determine the within-session reliability of both launch monitor systems when using a driver and a 6-iron. Twenty-nine youth golfers, with a minimum of 3 years of playing experience, volunteered for this study. All golfers completed 10 shots with a 6-iron and a driver, with 8 metrics concurrently monitored from both launch monitor systems in an indoor biomechanics laboratory. For both clubs, Pearson's r values ranged from small to near perfect (r range = 0.254–0.985), with the strongest relationships evident for clubhead speed (CHS) and ball speed (r ≥ 0.92). Bland-Altman plots showed almost perfect levels of agreement between devices for smash factor (mean bias ≤−0.016; 95% CI: −0.112, 0.079), whereas the poorest levels of agreement was for spin rate (mean bias ≤1,238; 95% CI: −2,628, 5,103). From a reliability standpoint, the TrackMan showed intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) ranging from moderate to excellent (ICC = 0.60–0.99) and coefficient of variation (CV) values ranged from good to poor (CV = 1.31–230.22%). For the Mevo+ device, ICC data ranged from poor to excellent (ICC = −0.22 to 0.99) and CV values ranged from good to poor (CV = 1.46–72.70%). Importantly, both devices showed similar trends, with the strongest reliability consistently evident for CHS, ball speed, carry distance, and smash factor. Finally, statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were evident between devices for spin rate (driver: d = 1.27; 6-iron: d = 0.90), launch angle (driver: d = 0.54), and attack angle (driver: d = −0.51). Collectively, these findings suggest that the FlightScope Mevo+ launch monitor is both valid and reliable when monitoring CHS, ball speed, carry distance, and smash factor. However, additional variables such as spin rate, launch angle, attack angle, and spin axis exhibit substantially greater variation compared with the TrackMan 4, suggesting that practitioners may wish to be cautious when providing golfers with feedback relating to these metrics.

Vasileva, F, Hristovski, R, Font-Lladó, R, Georgiev, G, Sacot, A, López-Ros, V, Calleja-González, J, Barretina-Ginesta, J, López-Bermejo, A, and Prats-Puig, A. Physical exercise-induced DNA methylation in disease-related genes in healthy adults—A systematic review with bioinformatic analysis. J Strength Cond Res 38(2): 384–393, 2024—This study aimed to systematically review the existing literature regarding physical exercise (PE) and DNA methylation (DNAm) in healthy adults. Specific goals were to (a) identify differently methylated genes (DMGs) after PE intervention, their imprinting status, chromosome and genomic location, function, and related diseases; and (b) to screen for core genes and identify methylation changes of the core genes that can be modified by PE intervention. Our search identified 2,869 articles from which 8 were finally included. We identified 1851 DMGs (p < 0.05) after PE intervention, although 45 of them were imprinted. Aerobic exercise (AE) seems to induce more DNA hypermethylation rather than hypomethylation, whereas anaerobic exercise (AN) seems to induce more DNA hypomethylation rather than hypermethylation. Aerobic exercise induced highest % of methylation changes on chromosome 6, whereas AN and mixed type (MT) on chromosome 1. Mixed type induced higher % of methylation changes close to transcription start site in comparison to AE and AN. After PE intervention, DMGs were mainly involved in fat metabolism, cell growth, and neuronal differentiation, whereas diseases regulated by those genes were mainly chronic diseases (metabolic, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative). Finally, 19 core genes were identified among DMGs, all related to protein metabolism. In conclusion, our findings may shed some light on the mechanisms explaining PE-induced health benefits such as the potential role that PE-induced DNAm may have in disease prevention and disease treatment.

Abstract
Fernández-Landa, J, Todorovic, N, Santibañez-Gutierrez, A, Ostojic, SM, Calleja-González, J, Sekulic, D, and Mielgo-Ayuso, J. Effects of HMB on endurance performance in a healthy population: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2023—β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) has been used extensively as a dietary supplement for athletes and physically active people. However, the ergogenic effect of HMB supplementation on endurance performance is still unclear. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) aimed to assess HMB supplementation on endurance performance and V̇O2 max. This SRMA followed PRISMA guidelines. Three electronic databases were searched (PubMed/Medline, Web of Science [WOS], and Scopus) from inception until April 3, 2023. In this SRMA, human experimental trials, controlled with a placebo group, assessing the effect of HMB supplementation on endurance performance in a healthy population were included. The quality of the studies was assessed by the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. The study protocol was registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Review (PROSPERO): CRD42022341790. Eleven studies involving 279 participants met the inclusion criteria. The results displayed a significant improvement on endurance performance (pooled standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.58 [0.28–0.87]) and V̇O2 max (pooled SMD = 0.58 [0.21–0.95]) after HMB ingestion. Moreover, after the exclusion of the studies not evenly distributed around the base of the funnel plot, the results continued to be significantly positive in endurance performance (pooled SMD = 0.38 [0.22–0.53]) and V̇O2 max (pooled SMD = 0.25 [0.09–0.42]). In conclusion, HMB (3 g·d−1) ingestion during 2–12 weeks significantly improves endurance performance and V̇O2 max.

Abstract
Howard, M, Sanders, GJ, Kollock, RO, Peacock, CA, and Freire, R. The effect of daily heart rate workloads on preseason, midseason, and postseason oxygen consumption in Division I basketball. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2023—Basketball is a dynamic sport, requiring athletes to elicit a high-level of physical, tactical, technical, and psychological attributes and athletes must possess a robustly trained aerobic energy system. There is no research to assess how objectively measured training loads throughout a season influence aerobic capacity. The following study was a retrospective analysis of an NCAA Division I women’s basketball team throughout a 5-month (23-week) competitive season. Data were sorted into season half totals and maximal oxygen consumption was recorded before, at the midway point and within 1-week postseason. Twelve athletes were monitored during each practice, pregame shoot around, scrimmage, and game for a total of 1,378 recorded sessions with a valid heart rate–based wearable microsensor (Polar Team Pro) during the season. There was a main effect of time for V̇O2max throughout the season (p < 0.001). Post hoc analysis revealed there was a significant increase in V̇O2max from preseason to postseason (p < 0.001). Interestingly, there were significant (p ≤ 0.001 for all) decreases from the first half to the second half of the season for training load, and time allocated to HRZone1–4, but no difference in time for the most intense zone, HRzone5. Conclusion: Oxygen consumption significantly increased 7.5% from preseason to postseason despite a reduction in overall work. The only training intensity that was not different from the first half to second half of the season was time in the highest heart rate intensity zone ≥85% of HRmax.

The Johor Waqf shares are a forum for spurring the development of the Islamic economy in the country of Johor. However, for the past five years, the Johor State Islamic Religious Council (MAINJ) has been faced with the problem of a significant decrease in the collection of Johor Waqf Shares. This study aims to look at the factors that influence the intention to invest in Johor Waqf Shares, especially among secondary school teachers in Mersing Johor. This study is a quantitative study and uses a questionnaire as an instrument to collect data from the study sample. The instrument was adapted and modified from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and according to the needs of the study problem. Inquiry questions contain four constructs, namely intention, attitude, behavioral control and subjective norms. The study sample was selected using an easy random sample. The study sample consisted of 226 teachers from ten secondary schools in the Mersing Johor area. Study data were analyzed using Smartpls 3.39. Based on the findings of the study, two factors, namely attitudes and subjective norms, are significant for teachers' intentions to participate in the Johor Waqf Shares. While the behavioral control factor is not significant to the teacher's intention to participate in the Johor Waqf Shares. The findings show min teachers' intention to join the Johor Waqf Shares is at a moderately high level. This study is important as a starting point to contribute to strengthening Johor Waqf Shares and future benefits.
CONTRIBUCIONES A LA AUTONOMIA PROFESIONAL DEL PROFESOR DE MATEMÁTICA – VIVENCIAS EN UN CURSO DE LICENCIATURA EN BRASIL
Authors: Nehring Cátia Maria , Cesar Pozzobon Marta Cristina 
Published: December 2023

Este artículo debate la formación del profesor de matemática de la Educación Básica, a partir de procesos reflexivos que son instituidos por las políticas públicas de formación de profesores, proyecto de curso, planes de enseñanza y otras acciones curriculares movidas por los distintos sujetos que constituyen el proceso de formación. En este sentido, nuestra intencionalidad es identificar algunas de las acciones que contribuyen a la autonomía profesional, articulando saberes docentes que son aquéllos producidos por el diálogo entre la práctica de profesor y los instituidos e instituintes que atraviesan el proceso de formación profesional. El movimiento producido en las acciones instituidas por las esferas públicas y políticas son gestionados y reelaborados por las acciones de pertencimiento y tensionamiento de los sujetos que constituyen los instituyentes de la formación. Delante de eso, traemos la praxis de un proceso originado en el curso de Licenciatura de Matemática de UNIJUÍ – Universidade Regional do Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, que tiene una historia de 40 años en formación de profesores. De éstos, consideramos las reformulaciones del Proyecto del Curso, partiendo de las Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais de 2002, puntuando algunas acciones articuladoras de las asignaturas y articuladas en las asignaturas que tienen como centralidad, la interacción y la vivencia de situaciones de enseñanza y de aprendizaje en la Escola De Educação Básica y en el Curso de Licenciatura de Matemática. De ese modo, consideramos que la autonomía profesional se constituye en cursos de formación de profesores a partir de las interacciones con el locus profesional y de vivencias mediadas pro procesos reflexivos y teóricos durante la licenciatura.

OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the association between race and the named etiology for inadequate weight gain among hospitalized infants and assess the differences in management.

METHODS
This single-center retrospective cohort study of infants hospitalized for the workup and management of inadequate weight gain used infant race and neighborhood-level socioeconomic deprivation as exposures. The etiology of inadequate weight gain was categorized as nonorganic, subjective organic (ie, gastroesophageal reflux and cow’s milk protein intolerance), or objective organic (eg, hypothyroidism). The management of inadequate weight gain was examined in secondary outcomes.

RESULTS
Among 380 infants, most were white and had a nonorganic etiology of inadequate weight gain. Black infants had 2.3 times higher unadjusted odds (95% credible interval [CI] 1.17–4.76) of a nonorganic etiology of inadequate weight gain compared with white infants. After adjustment, there was no association between race and etiology (adjusted odds ratio 0.8, 95% CI [0.44–2.08]); however, each 0.1 increase in neighborhood-level deprivation was associated with 80% increased adjusted odds of a nonorganic etiology of inadequate weight gain (95% CI [1.37–2.4]). Infants with a nonorganic etiology of inadequate weight gain were more likely to have social work and child protective service involvement and less likely to have nasogastric tube placement, gastroenterology consults, and speech therapy consults.

CONCLUSIONS
Infants from neighborhoods with greater socioeconomic deprivation were more likely to have nonorganic causes of inadequate weight gain, disproportionately affecting infants of Black race. A nonorganic etiology was associated with a higher likelihood of social interventions and a lower likelihood of medical interventions.
Colonic basidiobolomycosis masquerading as colon cancer with liver metastasis: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Wazzan Mohammad A. , El-Diasty Mohamed Tarek 
Published: December 2023

AbstractBasidiobolomycosis is a rare subcutaneous fungal infection caused by Basidiobolus ranarum. Gastrointestinal Basidiobolomycosis GIB has been increasingly reported in the literature.We present a case of a 50-year-old male patient who presented by abdominal pain and weight loss. Imaging showed a left colon mass with a small liver lesion. Provisional diagnosis of colon cancer with liver metastasis was made. Endoscopic stenting and biopsy were done, and the results of the biopsy were not conclusive. The condition was complicated by perforation, and emergency laparotomy was done. The diagnosis of colon Basidiobolomycosis was reached from surgical histopathology. Unfortunately, the patient's condition deteriorated post operatively and the patient passed away a few days after surgery.GIB is a rare fungal infection commonly presenting as a colonic neoplastic mass or inflammatory bowel disease. The endoscopy biopsy usually fails to provide definitive diagnosis. Post-operative histopathological examination with or without culture provides a definite diagnosis. Treatment of GIB includes surgical resection with appropriate antifungal therapy which revealed dramatic response in most of the cases. However, delayed diagnosis and treatment lead to dissemination of the disease which is life-threatening condition.
Türk Edebiyatında Seyahat/Refik Halit Karay’ın “Eskici” Hikâyesi
Authors: KESİN Tuğçe Nur 
Published: December 2023

Refik Halit Karay, Cumhuriyet Dönemi Türk edebiyatının öncü isimlerindendir. Hayatı boyunca siyasi tavrından ötürü iki kez sürgüne gönderilen yazar, Memleket Hikâyeleri ve Gurbet Hikâyeleri eserlerini sürgünlerdeki birikimleriyle kalem almıştır. Bu iki eser, edebiyat araştırmacıları tarafından bir nevi hatıra türüne de dâhil edilir. Çünkü gözlemleri sonucunda kaleme aldığı ve çeşitli dergilerde yayımlanan hikâyeler, her ne kadar kurmaca olsa da yer yer yazarın hayatından izler taşır. 1940 yılında ilk baskısı yapılan Gurbet Hikâyeleri’nin içerisinde on yedi hikâye yer almaktadır. Kitabın içerisinde; yurt ve ana dil özleminin vurgulandığı Eskici hikâyesi ikinci hikâyedir. Hikâyenin olay örgüsü, öksüz ve yetim kaldığı için Filistin topraklarına göç etmek zorunda kalan küçük Hasan ile ayakkabı tamircisi arasında geçer. Mekân özellikleri bakımından güçlü tasvirlere yer veren yazar, İstanbul’dan Hayfa’ya gitmek üzere vapura bindirilen Hasan’ın gözünden “sıcak memleketler” olarak isimlendirdiği Arabistan’ı anlatır.
Bu çalışmada, Refik Halit Karay’ın Eskici hikâyesi üzerinden bir seyahat okuması yapılmış ve 1938 yılında henüz Hayfa Filistin toprağı iken yazarın oraya ait izlenimleri değerlendirilmiştir

Introduction.The surgical stage of treatment is the most important component of the combined method of treatment in cancer patients. However, it is associated with the development of a number of complications caused by stress. In this regard, the modern concept of an anesthesiological manual should also be aimed at protecting the body from surgical stress, which requires the search and development of new gentle methods of anesthesia.Aim.To provide an overview of modern stress protection methods in anesthesia and consider the role of dalargin with carbohydrate loading as a component of stress protection in oncological surgery.Materials andmethods.Using the electronic resources of the PubMed and eLibrary search engines, a literary review of 147 scientific papers over the past 30 years has been conducted, which contain an evidence-based experimental and clinical base on the use of dalargin in medical practice.Results.A systematic review of stress protection methods in anesthesiology is presented. The role of dalargin in anesthesiological practice during surgical treatment in cancer patients, including when performing delayed reconstructions, is shown.Conclusion.The use of dalargin in combination with carbohydrate loading in cancer patients is justified and requires further detailed study. The ability to stimulate endogenous opioid receptors and modulate pain perception, its organoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as a favorable safety profile make dalargin a valuable addition to the tools for anesthesia in oncology.
