Abstract
Burke, AA, Guthrie, BM, Magee, M, Miller, AD, and Jones, MT. Revisiting the assessment of strength, power, and change of direction in collegiate american football athletes. J Strength Cond Res 37(8): 1623–1627, 2023—The primary purpose was to assess the effect of strength on vertical jump (VJ) and change of direction (COD) with a secondary purpose to examine if these relationships were moderated by the sport position group through path analysis using structural equation modeling. Subjects were collegiate American football athletes grouped by skill (SK; n = 98) and nonskill (NS; n = 83) sport position groups. Maximal strength was assessed by 1 repetition maximum back squat and hang clean (HC). Vertical jump was used to evaluate power. Change of direction was assessed through the 20-yard shuttle (i.e., 5-10-5) test. Multigroup path analysis examined causal pathways among variables and moderating effects of sport position. The final model revealed that VJ fully mediated the relationship between HC and COD (HC-VJ: β = 0.408, p < 0.001; VJ-COD: β = −0.376, p < 0.001; and HC-COD: β = −0.137, p = 0.17) in SK. The NS showed only direct effects of HC on COD (β = −0.335, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that strength does not solely explain COD ability but also can serve to enhance underpinning qualities, such as relative force production in the VJ. Relationships between strength, power, and COD are different depending on the positional group. The results provide further insight into performance outcomes in field tests. It is recommended that sport position differences be considered when assessing and analyzing physical qualities in a team setting within the sport of American football.

Abstract
Hart, AS, Erskine, RM, and Clark, DR. The use of physical characteristics to explain variation in ball-carrying capability in elite rugby union: a narrative review. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2022—The effectiveness of offensive ball carrying has been identified as a key determinant in elite rugby union try-scoring success and subsequent match outcome. Despite this, there is limited research evaluating the physical qualities believed to underpin the ball-carrying capability among elite rugby union players. The aim of this review was to critically appraise the scientific literature that has investigated the use of physical characteristics to explain ball-carrying capability in elite rugby union. Measures of sprint performance, specifically acceleration, maximum sprinting speed, and sprint momentum have presented weak-to-strong correlations with the number of tries scored, line breaks, tackle breaks, defenders beaten, and dominant collisions recorded among international rugby union players. In addition, unilateral and bilateral vertical countermovement jump height, peak power output, and drop jump reactive strength index have each demonstrated meaningful associations with the number of tries scored, line breaks, tackle breaks, and dominant collisions. However, various measures of maximal lower-body strength have presented only trivial correlations with the game statistics associated with ball-carrying capability. These trivial correlations are likely a result of the inconsistent and inaccurate methods used to assess maximal lower-body strength, with methods ranging from a box squat–predicted 1 repetition maximum to a maximal isometric mid-thigh pull. Further investigation is required to assess the contribution of maximal lower-body strength, agility, repeated sprint ability, and aerobic capacity to ball-carrying capability in elite rugby union. Such robust, objective data could be used to inform the specificity of physical preparation and maximize the transfer of these physical qualities to on-field performance.

AbstractAge-related cognitive decline is related to cellular and systems-level disruptions across multiple brain regions. Because age-related cellular changes within different structures do not show the same patterns of dysfunction, interventions aimed at optimizing function of large-scale brain networks may show greater efficacy at improving cognitive outcomes in older adults than traditional pharmacotherapies. The current study aimed to leverage a preclinical rat model of aging to determine whether cognitive training in young and aged male rats with a computerized paired-associates learning (PAL) task resulted in changes in global resting-state functional connectivity. Moreover, seed-based functional connectivity was used to examine resting state connectivity of cortical areas involved in object-location associative memory and vulnerable in old age, namely the medial temporal lobe (MTL; hippocampal cortex and perirhinal cortex), retrosplenial cortex (RSC), and frontal cortical areas (prelimbic and infralimbic cortices). There was an age-related increase in global functional connectivity between baseline and post-training resting state scans in aged, cognitively trained rats. This change in connectivity following cognitive training was not observed in young animals, or rats that traversed a track for a reward between scan sessions. Relatedly, an increase in connectivity between perirhinal and prelimbic cortices, as well as reduced reciprocal connectivity within the RSC, was found in aged rats that underwent cognitive training, but not the other groups. Subnetwork activation was associated with task performance across age groups. Greater global functional connectivity and connectivity between task-relevant brain regions may elucidate compensatory mechanisms that can be engaged by cognitive training.
Functional Changes in GABA and Glutamate during Motor Learning

Published: February 2023

AbstractFunctional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) of GABA at 3 T poses additional challenges compared with fMRS of other metabolites because of the difficulties of measuring GABA levels; GABA is present in the brain at relatively low concentrations, and its signal is overlapped by higher concentration metabolites. Using 7 T fMRS, GABA levels have been shown to decrease specifically during motor learning (and not during a control task). Though the use of 7 T is appealing, access is limited. For GABA fMRS to be widely accessible, it is essential to develop this method at 3 T. Nine healthy right-handed participants completed a motor learning and a control button-pressing task. fMRS data were acquired from the left sensorimotor cortex during the task using a continuous GABA-edited MEGA-PRESS acquisition at 3 T. We found no significant changes in GABA+/tCr, Glx/tCr, or Glu/tCr levels in either task; however, we show a positive relationship between motor learning and glutamate levels both at rest and at the start of the task. Though further refinement and validation of this method is needed, this study represents a further step in using fMRS at 3 T to probe GABA levels in both healthy cognition and clinical disorders.
No Heightened Musical Pitch Weighting For Tone Language Speakers in Early Childhood

Published: February 2023

Numerous studies suggest that speakers of some tone languages show advantages in musical pitch processing compared to non-tone language speakers. A recent study in adults (Jasmin et al., 2021) suggests that in addition to heightened pitch sensitivity, tone language speakers weight pitch information more strongly than other auditory cues (amplitude, duration) in both linguistic and nonlinguistic settings compared to non-tone language speakers. The current study asks whether pitch upweighting is evident in early childhood. To test this, two groups of 3- to 5-year-old children—tone-language speakers (n = 48), a group previously shown to have a perceptual advantage in musical pitch tasks (Creel et al., 2018), and non-tone-language speakers (n = 48)—took part in a musical “word learning” task. Children associated two cartoon characters with two brief musical phrases differing in both musical instrument and contour. If tone language speakers weight pitch more strongly, cue conflict trials should show stronger pitch responding than for non-tone speakers. In contrast to both adult speakers’ stronger pitch weighting and child and adult pitch perception advantages, tone-language-speaking children did not show greater weighting of pitch information than non-tone-language speaking children. This suggests a slow developmental course for pitch reweighting, contrasting with apparent early emergence of pitch sensitivity.

Aim. To analyze factors affecting the availability of hybrid cerebral and myocardial revascularization by synchronous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA).Material and methods. This retrospective study included 263 patients with coronary and internal carotid artery involvement undergoing PCI and CEA during the period from 2011 to 2017.Results. The study revealed the following factors increasing the availability of revascularization: hybrid cerebral and myocardial revascularization, successful PCI using drug-eluting stents, postPCI TIMI flow grade 3, and radial access for PCI. The following factors reduced the availability: polyvascular disease >50% in three beds, prior PCI, left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, left coronary artery involvement, living without a family, staged revascularization, CEA before PCI, unsuccessful/complicated PCI with post-PCI TIMI flow grades of 0-1, residual SYNTAX score >9, emergency hospitalization and multiple emergency PCI of the coronary arteries in the long-term follow-up period.Conclusion. Comprehensive analysis of clinical, demographic, anatomical, angiographic, and perioperative factors made it possible to identify predictors that affect the availability of hybrid revascularization.

Abstract

Objective
Despite Canada being an important energy producer, not all Canadians can access or afford adequate levels of energy services at home to meet their needs, maintain healthy indoor temperatures, and live a decent life—a situation known as energy poverty. Depending on the measure, 6–19% of Canadian households face energy poverty. Health risks associated with energy poverty are documented in countries with milder climates. This study explores, for the first time in the Canadian context, the association between energy poverty and health.

Methods
Cross-sectional data are from the 2018 Canadian Housing Survey. Analyses are conducted on a sample weighted to represent 14 million Canadian households. The associations between expenditure-based and self-reported measures of energy poverty and self-rated general and mental health were assessed using logistic regression models, adjusted for potential confounding variables.

Results
The odds of rating one’s general (OR: 1.48; 95%CI: 1.29, 1.70) and mental (OR: 1.21; 1.04, 1.41) health as poor are significantly higher for Canadian adults in households with a high share of energy expenditure to income. The likelihood of poor general and mental health was significantly higher for those dissatisfied with the energy efficiency of their dwelling, and with their ability to maintain a comfortable temperature both in the winter and in the summer.

Conclusion
Exposure to energy poverty is associated with significantly increased likelihood of poor general and mental health. Given the high proportion of Canadian households facing energy poverty, with demonstrated implications for population health, tackling energy poverty is essential for an equitable energy transition and for climate resilience.

Published: February 2023

<p class="abstrakinggris">The use of improved varieties with wider adaptability and stability is necessary to maximize the productivity of durum wheat. However, due to genotype by environment interaction (GEI) effect, superior genotypes in one environment could be inferior in other environments. Hence, a multi-environmental trial (MET) was commenced to determine the magnitude of GEI effect and identify stable durum wheat genotypes across environments. The MET was conducted using nine durum wheat cultivars in randomized completely block design with three replications across four contrasting locations in 2020 crop seasons. The result of combined analysis of variance showed the presence of significant differences among the main effects; environments, genotypes, and GEI effects for grain yield. The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) combined ANOVA for main effects of environment, genotype, and GEI revealed highly significant differences among cultivars with 66.2%, 26.4%, and 7.3% share of sum square variation, respectively, of the total variation. AMMI and genotype plus genotype by environment (GGE) Bi-plot analysis identified the cultivars Fetan, Denbi, and Mangudo as high yielders and adaptive to the favourable locations. AMMI stability value and yield stability index identified Mangudo as the most stable and adaptive cultivar across locations. The AMMI Bi-plot analysis showed that the first two interaction principal component analysis (IPCAs) captured 90.45% of the total interaction sum of squares (ISS), where IPCA1 took 55.61% and IPCA2 accounted for 34.84% of GEI effects. This study identified Mangudo as the most stable cultivar with acceptable yield while Fetan was the top yielder genotype across locations.</p>
Diferencias biopsicosociales en el trastorno por consumo de sustancias entre el hombre y la mujer y consideraciones sobre su abordaje terapéutico
Authors: Balmori Martínez Alfonso , Macías Ana , De la Puente María Paz 
Published: February 2023

Introducción. Con la finalidad de investigar las diferencias vinculadas al sexo en el abuso de drogas, intentar comprender los fundamentos biológicos y psicosociales subyacentes, y analizar la pertinencia de diseñar intervenciones diferenciales, se ha realizado un rastreo de la información científica publicada, especialmente en humanos, pero en algunos casos también en animales.
Objetivos. Partiendo de las diferencias anatómicas y neuroquímicas del cerebro, de las diferentes destrezas y de la posible importancia de los factores evolutivos, se revisan las diferencias biopsicosociales, ligadas al sexo, en relación al abuso de sustancias, así como el sesgo en las enfermedades neuropsiquiátricas, en bastantes casos concurrentes. Se revisa asimismo el papel de las hormonas sexuales y el peso de los roles de género en la adicción. Además, se analizan las características diferenciales del tratamiento de las conductas adictivas según el sexo.
Desarrollo y conclusiones. Los resultados señalan peculiaridades específicas en el proceso de la adicción según el sexo, causadas por las diferencias biológicas del cerebro y las diferentes hormonas sexuales circulantes. Estas diferencias se manifiestan tanto en los efectos de las drogas en el circuito de recompensa como en su metabolismo, y en el grado de severidad de las diferentes fases del proceso adictivo: adquisición, escalada de consumo, abstinencia y recaída. También se perciben diferencias significativas en las enfermedades neuropsiquiátricas asociadas. Todo ello está modulado por las particularidades de género impuestas socialmente. Finalmente se valora la necesidad de abordajes terapéuticos específicos en función del sexo, que cobran aún más importancia ante la presencia de problemas psicológicos o psiquiátricos concomitantes.
Multi-Level Context Fusion Network for 3D Object Tracking

Abstract
Due to exhaustive proposals generation, conventional 3D object tracking methods based on template matching are time-consuming. Some recent works that leverage template clues to directly obtain 3D boxes are more efficient, but they don't take full advantage of the template context. In this work, we propose a novel multi-level context fusion network(MLCFNet) to track objects robustly . Our main idea is to fuse template context in multiple levels(point, local, and global features) into the search area and utilize the joint information to predict the final box. Specifically, a 3D Siamese Network firstly extracts multi-level features in the search area and template. Then, to promote the guidance of the template, a Context Fusion Network fuses these features into the search area and generates guided points. Finally, These points are used to regress potential object centers and cluster 3D object proposals. Experiments on KITTI and nuScenes tracking datasets demonstrate that MLCFNet outperforms other state-of-the-art methods by a large margin.
