Abstract

Objectives
This study aims to explore the unintended consequences of the COVID-19 lockdown in Argentina by assessing sleep disorders developed during quarantine and analyzing the interplay between gender and social gradients of health with sleep disorders.

Methods
The study adopted a cross-sectional design by drawing data from the Argentinian Social Debt The study adopted a cross-sectional design by drawing data from the Argentinian Social Debt COVID-19 Survey (n=500) carried out in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires in May 2020. COVID-19 survey (n=500) carried out in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires in May 2020. Descriptive and correlational analyses were carried out using SPSS (version 25) to describe the occurrence of sleep disorders produced during quarantine.

Results
The results show that during lockdown the local population presented a lower quality of sleep. Among the analysed groups, women and the youngest group were the most affected (p<0.005). Furthermore, although the four socioeconomic groups examined in this study have all suffered sleep disorders during lockdown, the respondents with lower socioeconomic status are found to have been more affected than the others.

Conclusions
The correlational analysis indicates that a lower socio-occupational stratum corresponds to a higher degree of changes in the circadian rhythm during the lockdown period. The main contribution of this study lies in illustrating, from a local perspective, one aspect of the unintended consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns on sleep health. Additionally, it serves to inform local health policies about the importance of considering human health as an integral process, without prioritizing the biological sphere over other aspects.

Abstract
Thermal treatment is an effective method for improving the dimensional stability of wood; however, it typically requires high temperatures. To achieve low-temperature heat treatment, this study employed wood samples impregnated with 10 % tannin acid (TA) and examined their changes in dimensional stability and chemical components after heat treatment at various initial moisture content levels. The results revealed that the TA-10 %-HT group exhibited enhanced dimensional stability. Specifically, both the tangential and radial moisture swelling decreased by 21.7 % and 11.8 %, respectively. FTIR and XRD analysis indicated that the presence of tannin acid catalytically facilitated the degradation of hemicellulose. Moreover, an increase in moisture content resulted in the ionization of TA, amplifying acidity and further affecting cellulose degradation. TGA demonstrated that TA impacted the thermal stability of heat-treated materials by lowering the initial decomposition temperature of wood components and increasing the residual weight of wood. Overall, pretreatment with TA impregnation and moisture content significantly improved the dimensional stability of Chinese fir wood and altered its chemical composition. This approach holds considerable potential for enhancing wood properties through a low-energy consumption method during the heat treatment process, expanding the practical application of wood.

Abstract
Giant intracranial aneurysms represent a very challenging aspect of aneurysmal pathophysiology with very high mortality and morbidity if left untreated. Their variety in clinical presentation (subarachnoid hemorrhage, cranial nerve palsy, etc.) and pathological and imaging properties (location, anatomy, presence of collateral circulation) pose serious questions regarding the best treatment option. Admirable advances have been achieved in surgical techniques, while endovascular modalities with flow diversion techniques have become widely used. However, there is still lack of data regarding whether a single endovascular technique can be the universal treatment for such cases. In this review, we aim to summarize the current funds of knowledge concerning giant intracranial aneurysms and the role of endovascular management in their treatment.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Association between vestibular function and immune inflammatory response has garnered increasing interest. Immune responses can lead to anatomical or functional alterations of the vestibular system, and inflammatory reactions may impair hearing and balance. Vestibular disorders comprise a variety of conditions, such as vestibular neuritis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere’s disease, vestibular migraine, posterior circulation ischemia, and bilateral vestibular disease. Moreover, some patients with autoimmune diseases develop vestibulocochlear symptom. This paper offers an overview of prevalent vestibular diseases and discusses associations between vestibular dysfunction and immune diseases.

Authors: Kolimechkov Stefan , Makaveev Rasho , Zaykova Dilyana , Petrov Lubomir 
Published: December 2023

Background and Study Aim. The physical attributes of muscular strength and endurance are essential for wrestlers to perform successfully. For the development of these physical qualities, high intensity interval training (HIIT) using kettlebell strength exercises is appropriate. The purpose of this study was to develop a kettlebell HIIT program for wrestlers and evaluate the results on strength and endurance. Material and Methods. Eight freestyle wrestlers who participated in the Bulgarian Wrestling Championships (age: 22.0±2.17 years, wrestling experience: 9.9±2.80 years) were included in the study. Measurements included height, weight, 8 circumferences, 8 skinfolds, and BMI, body fat percentage (%BF), and skeletal muscle mass percentage (%SMM). The wrestlers engaged in an HIIT circuit that involved four rounds of 16 kg kettlebells and eight exercises, each lasting 20 seconds to complete and 10 seconds to recover between. Polar H7 was used to continually record heart rate (HR). At rest, before, immediately after, and 15 minutes after the HIIT, blood lactate concentration (La) was assessed. Each exercise's number of repetitions was noted. Results. The wrestlers' average height was 175.2±7.45 cm, their average weight was 85.1±13.38 kg, and their average BMI was 27.6 kg/m2. The SMM was 42.1±2.39%, and the BF was 10.3±3.98%. Heart rate (HR) exhibited a pattern of elevation from rest to warm-up and during circle 1 to 4, followed by a decrease 10 minutes after HIIT. Lactate levels (La) displayed an upward trend from rest to before HIIT, a significant increase after HIIT, and a decrease 15 minutes after HIIT. Conclusions. As shown by the fact that each wrestler's HR during the kettlebell HIIT was above 75% of HRmax and that La was above the anaerobic threshold (>4 mmol/L), the created kettlebell HIIT, when used 5 times per week for eight weeks as part of the wrestlers' training, can improve their endurance.
The relationship between game success indicators in the FIFA World Cup – Qatar 2022: An elastic-net regularization approach
Authors: Myftiu Armend , Thaqi Agron 
Published: December 2023

Background and Study Aim. The significance of analyzing statistical indicators is paramount, as they provide valuable insights into the distinguishing performance factors of teams. The purpose of this study: 1) to identify statistically significant differences between relevant performance factors among winning, drawing, and losing teams in the 2022 Football World Cup in Qatar; 2) explore indicators that are most strongly associated with the game results in this tournament.
Material and Methods. A total of 64 matches and 32 participating teams were analyzed. The variables included in the research were: total shots, shots on target, shots off target, effectiveness, passes, passes completed, crosses, crosses against, offsides committed, offsides received, fouls received, ball possession, fouls committed, corners, corners against, yellow cards and red cards. The results are extracted from the official FIFA website. The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the ordinal logistic regression with elastic net were used for data calculation.
Results. The results indicate that winning teams have statistically significantly higher mean values of variables related to goals scored: total shots (p < 0.05), shots on target (p < 0.01), and effectiveness (p < 0.01). According to the information-based model selection criteria AIC (Akaike information criterion) and BIC (Bayesian information criterion) effectiveness and shots on target are the most important variables regarding game results. They, along with corners, are best associated with successful teams. In contrast, crosses, ball possession, corners against, and yellow cards are associated with less successful teams. Results suggest that teams with high ball possession and large number of crosses, but fewer shots on target, have weaker results than teams with more shots on target and less ball possession.
Conclusions. The study underscores the significance of certain performance indicators, such as total shots, shots on target, and effectiveness, in predicting a team's success. These findings provide valuable insights for coaches and teams to focus on specific aspects of their game to enhance their chances of winning. Additionally, understanding the impact of variables like ball possession, crosses, corners, and yellow cards emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded strategy for achieving success in international football tournaments.

Published: December 2023

Background and Study Aim. To carry out a comparative analysis of indicators of short-term visual memory in athletes of cyclic sports (short track), martial arts (karate, taekwondo) and esports (CS:GO).
Material and Methods. The study involved athletes of percussion martial arts (n=13, age 18.8±0.52, experienced athletes), elite players of semi-professional CS:GO teams (n=10, age 19.2±0.50), short track speed skaters (n=12, age 19.1±0.25, experienced athletes). Short-term visual memory was determined using a special program for tablet computers running iOS.
Results. Certain trends have been established regarding the characteristics of the state of the body of elite athletes in martial arts, short track and esports in terms of averaged indicators. In terms of the short-term visual memory coefficient and the average percentage of errors, martial arts athletes showed the best result, and short trackers showed the worst result. The shortest average test duration was recorded for short trackers. At certain stages of the test, they dominated athletes of other specializations in terms of reaction time. However, the trend towards faster response was associated with a decrease in the accuracy of the selection, that is, a greater percentage of errors. Cyberathletes and martial arts athletes were characterized by better adaptive abilities than short track athletes.
Conclusions. The specificity of sports activities of cyberathletes determined the best results of the most difficult stage of the test both in terms of speed and accuracy. This criterion can be recommended for esports selection and prediction. The control of the cognitive functions of athletes is expedient in the course of monitoring their physical condition and is a promising direction for predicting the reliability and success of competitive activity.

Aim. To evaluate the accuracy of virtual stenting in predicting the physiological effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for multilevel coronary artery disease (CAD).Material and methods. In order to define PCI strategy, 34 patients with multilevel CAD underwent assessment of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) with mapping. Using the virtual stenting, predicted iFR (priFR) was assessed. After stent implantation, the factual iFR (fiFR) was re-assessed. A discrepancy between the priFR and fiFR by 0,03 was considered the threshold level of a significant difference and "poor agreement" criterion between measurements.Results. Mean iFR before PCI was 0,77±0,11; after PCI, this indicator increased significantly and amounted to 0,94±0,04 (p<0,001). Comparison of the predicted and factual iFR revealed that the difference did not significantly depend on the value (rxy=-0,183; p=0,300), and mean difference between measurements was 0,013 (standard deviation, ±0,019), which indicates no systematic discrepancy and good comparability of the studied methods. In addition, correlation analysis of priFR and fiFR revealed a significant strong (Chaddock scale) direct relationship (r=0,854; p<0,001). Independent predictors of "poor agreement" were heart rate and systolic blood pressure before surgery. Discrepancy in decisions on the choice of stented lesions and the required number of stents based on coronary angiography (CAG) and MRI occurred in 21 patients (62%) and 16 patients (47%), respectively. After iFR measurement, there was a significant decrease in the mean length of affected segment (from 61,82±19,68 mm (CAG) and 49,15±19,19 mm (iFR)), which made it possible to significantly reduce the number of implanted stents from 1,91±0,57 (CAG) to 1,50±0,56 (p=0,001).Conclusion. Mapping the iFR and virtual stenting technology makes it possible to revise the classification of coronary lesions by length, which leads to a significant reduction in the number of implanted stents and the length of stented segment. High correlation between priFR and fiFR achieved in our study indicates the high accuracy of virtual stenting in predicting the physiological effect of stenting.

Published: December 2023

Aim. To analyze the prognostic value of the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) and Simon Broome Register (SBR) screening criteria for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in men and women with dyslipidemia.Material and methods. The study included 1233 patients with dyslipidemia.Biomaterial samples from 421 patients were studied using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to identify FH-associated genes. Statistical analysis was carried out using the StatTech v program. 3.1.6 (OOO Stattekh, Russia).Results. The most significant factors for predicting the FH in men are the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (1,77 times), positive family history for coronary artery disease (CAD) (6,26 times), multivessel coronary artery disease (4,05 times); in women before menopause — LDL-C (1,77 times per 1 mmol/l) and/or family history of coronary artery disease (3,31 times), in menopausal women — total cholesterol level (1,79 times per 1 mmol/l), coronary artery disease (6,52 times) and/or family history of stroke (6,04 times), xanthomas (4,24 times). Acute myocardial infarction and/or coronary stenting, arcus senilis, extracranial artery atherosclerosis did not prove to be prognostically significant for FH diagnosis.Conclusion. Diagnostic criteria for potential FH vary among patient populations. Its diagnostic significance depends on sex, and in women, reproductive status.

Published: December 2023

Study purpose. To increase the running speed of soccer players, anthropometric factors need to be considered when choosing a training model.
Materials and methods. The experimental method with a 2 x 3 factorial design was used in this study. Purpose random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 60 participants from a population of 100 people. Then the sample was divided into six groups using a stratified random sampling technique (large UHS, n=10 participants; moderate UHS, n=10 participants; small UHS, n=10 participants; large SJS, n=10 participants; moderate SJS, n=10 participants; small SJS, n=10 participants). The 20-meter running speed test and anthropometric measurements were used as data collection instruments. Data analysis uses a two-way ANOVA and normality and homogeneity tests as prerequisites.
Results. The results of the study found that there were significant differences in the two training models with a Sig value of 0.002<0.05, there were significant differences in the three anthropometric groups with a Sig value of 0.000<0.05, andthere was an interaction between the training model and anthropometric characteristics in increasing the 20-meter running speed with a Sig value of 0.001<0.05.
Conclusions. This study concluded that the SJS training model was suitable for three levels of anthropometric ratios, while UHS was very suitable for small ones. Another conclusion was that the small anthropometric ratio had the greatest effect on the speed of the 20-meter sprint.
