BACKGROUND
Aerobic capacity or maximum oxygen consumption rate (VO2max) is accepted as the single best indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness. VO2max is also an indicator of metabolic health and known as an all-cause mortality predictor. It is well established that glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in patients with diabetes is associated with decline in cardiorespiratory fitness. However, it is not clear if glucose intolerance is associated with poorer cardiorespiratory fitness in a population without diabetes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess if glucose intolerance measured by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is associated with cardiorespiratory fitness in a population without diabetes.

METHODS
Fifty one (30 males and 21 females) predominantly Mexican-American adults without diabetes (Age 26.1 ± 5.3 years; BMI 26.7 ± 4.2 kg/m2; fasting blood glucose 92.1 ± 10.0 mg/dL) from the border region of El Paso, TX participated in this study. VO2max was assessed using a standardized graded exercise test protocol on a treadmill with Parvomedics metabolic cart. Glucose tolerance was measured by a 3-hour OGTT preformed after a 12-hour overnight fast. Blood glucose measured at fasting and every 30 minutes after the ingestion of 75g of glucose drink during OGTT and glucose area under the curve was determined to access glucose tolerance. Pearson correlation analysis was performed at 0.05 significance level.

RESULTS
Glucose intolerance measured by glucose area under the curve was negatively correlated with VO2max (r = −0.40, p = 0.006). Additionally, blood glucose level during OGTT test at 120 min (r = −0.43, p = 0.003), 150 min (r = −0.36, p = 0.014), and 180 min (r = −0.32, p = 0.048) were also negatively associated with VO2max. However, fasting blood glucose was not associated with VO2max (r = −0.09, p = 0.56).

CONCLUSION
Poorer cardiorespiratory fitness is indicated by greater glucose intolerance and a greater surge of glucose level during an OGTT, but not fasting blood glucose in a population without diabetes.

BACKGROUND
Athletes' cardiac screening is challenging. The distinction between abnormal and normal is further hindered by the fact that cardiac adaptations differ between endurance and power athletes. Soccer performance depends on both cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. Most of the studies are focused on cardiac and aerobic adaptations related to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), but there is lack of studies examining musculoskeletal and anaerobic adaptations that elicit cardiac remodeling. The aim of this study was to examine whether the anaerobic jumping performance, as evaluated by vertical jump parameters achieved at a repetitive jump test (RVJ), was related to the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in Greek soccer players.

METHODS/DESIGN
Elite male professional players (N = 19, age = 25.7 ± 4.6 yrs) participated in this study as part of their annual physical and physiological performance screening. The participants performed a RVJ test consisted of 15 continuous maximal effort countermovement jumps. Echocardiography measurements of left ventricular mass (LVM) and body surface area (BSA) were used to calculate the LVMI as LVM/BSA in g/m2. LVMI value of 115 g/m2 is considered to be a cut-off value for LVH and two groups were additionally formed: group A with LVMI ≥ 115 g/m2 (n = 11) and group B with LVMI &lt; 115 g/m2 (n = 8). Independent samples T-test was used to examine the maximum jump height (JHmax) difference between the groups. Pearson's correlation analysis was run to check the relationship between LVMI raw values and JHmax. Statistical analysis was performed using the R-based Jamovi software (version: 2.3.3.0), with the level of significance set at a = 0.05.

RESULTS
LVMI raw values were 143.14 ± 18.06 g/m2 and 108.22 ± 9.66 g/m2 in groups A and B, respectively. Group A had significantly lower JHmax compared to Group B (0.29 ± 0.04 m vs 0.35 ± 0.04 m, respectively; t17 =−3.39, p = 0.003, Hedges' g = 1.43: large effect size). In the total sample, LVMI raw values correlated significantly with JHmax (r = −0.53, p = 0.020).

CONCLUSIONS
Soccer players with LVMI ≥ 115 g/m2 values had lower RVJ performance compared to those with LVMI &lt; 115 g/m2. Resistance training, which is common in soccer, leads to cardiac anatomic adaptations such as LVH. The utility of the RVJ performance as a prognostic component for cardiac remodeling is weak. Even though soccer is a mixed type sport, aerobic adaptations are still the key prognostic elements for LVH.
Structural Parameter of a Merging Compact Dwarf Galaxy CG 0315

Published: January 2023

Structural parameters like size, Sersic index, total luminosity and ellipticity are important tools to study galaxy formation and evolution. This work studies a compact dwarf galaxy CG 0325, originated from a merger, and performs a detailed analysis of morphological parameters. The galaxy size is derived by using two different methods, i.e., parametric and non-parametric. The parametric uses the Sersic modeling, but it is found that the observed light profile of CG 0325 cannot be modeled with a simple Sersic function. This is, however, common in merging feature galaxies. Therefore, for further analysis, the half-light radius derived from the non-parametric method can be used as the size of the galaxy. CG 0315 is far more compact than a typical galaxy. We measured its effective radius of 4.05 arcseconds and half-light radius of 2.60 arcseconds that corresponds to a physical value of 221 parsec. Its ratio between the minor and major axis is 0.82, and the position angle is 179 degrees to the North. The star formation rate of the galaxy is 0.051Mʘ year-1. We conclude from these observational data that CG 0315 will continue to be a compact dwarf galaxy when star formation stops and transforms into a well-known compact elliptical galaxy. Therefore, CG 0315 might be a progenitor of an elliptical galaxy.
Maximum Capacity Path Problem with Arc Reversal
Authors: Nath Hari Nandan 
Published: January 2023

In a network with capacitated arcs, the maximum capacity path problem is to find the bottleneck path between two nodes that has the maximum capacity among all the paths between the nodes. In this work, a problem of identification of such a path is considered allowing arc reversals in a directed graph where the capacity of the reversed arc can be added to the capacity of its counterpart. We propose an O(m) algorithm to solve the problem in a directed graph with arcs.

Published: January 2023

Diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world. Medicinal plants remain to play an important role in the amelioration of diabetes and its complications. In this study, Buddleja asiatica, Camellia sinensis, and Polygala arillata were investigated for α-amylase inhibition, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. Methanolic extracts of these three plants were investigated for their potential antioxidant activity using DPPH assay. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of extracts were evaluated by the following standard methods. The α-amylase inhibition assay was also carried out by starch-iodine assay and DNS assay method. Methanolic extract of B. asiatica, C. sinensis, and P. arillata exhibits a total phenolic content of 116.47 ± 6.62, 157.17 ± 18.79, and 44.27 ± 2.97 mg GAE per gm in dry weight of extracts (p < 0.0001) and flavonoid levels 5.99 ± 1.00, 34.28 ± 2.63, and 37.07 ± 2.24 (p < 0.0001) mg QE per gm in dry weights of extracts respectively. The extract showed promising antioxidant activity against DPPH with the IC50 values of C. sinensis (19.15 ± 4.32 μg/mL), B. asiatica (26.86 ± 2.00 μg/mL), and the standard the quercetin (2.36 ± 0.13 μg/mL). The extract showed modest α-amylase inhibitory activity. Methanolic extract of B. asiatica and C. sinensis were found effective against Staphylococcus aureus with zone of inhibition of 12.5 mm and 17 mm respectively. Therefore, obtained results support the traditional uses of these plants and also showed α-amylase inhibition activities although there are no reports about it.
Rethinking Canada’s Approach to Children’s Digital Game Regulation
Authors: Grimes Sara M. , Jayemanne Darshana , Giddings Seth 
Published: January 2023

Background: Connected digital games offer exciting opportunities for children to connect, play, and learn, but first they must navigate industry trends that jeopardize their rights, including invasive data collection and manipulative gambling mechanics. Analysis: A policy analysis reveals that Canada’s existing digital game regulation largely relies on a U.S. industry-made classification system and is ill-equipped to address these issues. Comparative analysis shows that despite previous similarities in their approaches to game regulation, Canada has now fallen behind the United Kingdom, where shifting approaches to “age-appropriateness” are producing promising new frameworks for supporting children’s rights across the digital environment. Conclusion and implications: This article concludes with a call to action for a rights-based Canadian response to the problematic issues that have emerged within the children’s game landscape.
Canadian Trash, American Treasure: YTV, Nickelodeon, and the Production of Canadian Children’s Television Distribution
Authors: Bonner Patrick 
Published: January 2023

Background: YTV was one of Canada’s most popular television networks during the 1990s. Despite its many contributions to a vibrant and influential children’s television industry during that period, research on the network is scarce.Analysis: This article analyzes the relationship between YTV, Canada’s first dedicated children’s network, and Nickelodeon, the popular U.S. children’s brand. It also examines how YTV was discursively and practically organized in relation to Nickelodeon in its nascent years. As well, it considers how YTV built on Nickelodeon’s production of its audience as “consumer citizens.”Conclusions and implications: This once dynamic relationship has come to favour the U.S. industries through the Canadian entertainment conglomerate Corus Entertainment’s transnational-vertical business operations.

Co-existing with the Other in the Aspect of the Problem of Fluctuations of Personality in the Society
Authors: Petinova Oksana , Tkachenko Ekaterina 
Published: January 2023

In this article an analysis of the concept of the Other in the context of the issue of “I and the Other” is introduced, and the ways through which the process of identification of personality within the framework of coexistence with the Other are shown within the context of phenomenological philosophy. The problem of identification is analysed as an integral part of the problem of the Other, since an individual always acts within the horizon of the intersubjective heritage. A person is born in a certain cultural tradition, without the intersubjective dimension of which their self-identification is impossible. A person is born in a world which is already imbued with the meanings of others, therefore, there always exists a need for their self-identification, which cannot be done without active participation of the Other. The processes of globalization, informatisation and post-industrialisation indicate that in the modern world social reality is constructed through brand-new algorithms, which cannot but impact the processes of socialization and self-identification, and lead to personality’s deep changes, which are made evident by its fluctuations.
Correlation between the spinopelvic type and morphological characteristics of lumbar facet joints in degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis

Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE
The correlation between the spinopelvic type and morphological characteristics of lumbar facet joints in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) was investigated.

METHODS
One hundred forty-two patients with L4 DLS were enrolled (DLS group), and 100 patients with lumbar disc herniation without DLS were selected as the control group (i.e., non–lumbar spondylolisthesis [NL] group). Morphological parameters of L4–5 facet joints and L4–5 disc height and angle were measured on 3D reconstructed CT images; namely, the facet joint angle (FJA), pedicle–facet joint angle (PFA), facet joint tropism, and facet joint osteoarthritis (OA). The L4 slip percentage, sacral slope, and lumbar lordosis were measured on radiographs. Patients in the DLS and NL groups were divided into 4 subgroups according to Roussouly classification (types I, II, III, and IV).

RESULTS
In the DLS and NL groups, as the spinopelvic type changed from type II to type IV, the facet joint morphology showed a gradual sagittal orientation in the FJA, a gradual horizontal orientation in the PFA, a gradual severity in OA, and a gradual increase in the slip percentage, but changes were completely opposite from type I to type II. Additionally, compared with the NL group, the facet joint morphology in the DLS group had more horizontal orientation in PFA, more sagittal orientation in the FJA, and the facet joint tropism and OA were more severe.

CONCLUSIONS
Facet joint morphology was correlated with spinopelvic type in the slip segment of DLS. Facet joint morphology was part of the joint configuration in different spinopelvic types, not just the result of joint remodeling after DLS. Moreover, morphological changes of the facet joints and DLS interacted with each other. Additionally, morphological remodeling of the facet joints in DLS played an important role in spinal balance and should be taken into consideration when designing a surgical approach.
Subtle magnetic resonance imaging differences in tegmental pilocytic astrocytomas as a caution against attempting gross-total resection: illustrative cases
Authors: Al-Saadi Tariq , Albrecht Steffen , Farmer Jean-Pierre , Toffoli Daniela , Saint-Martin Christine , Jabado Nada , Dudley Roy W. R. 
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND
Although surgery within the tegmentum of the midbrain is challenging, resection of tegmental pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) is a standard treatment because this has been shown to outperform chemotherapy and radiotherapy in terms of long-term tumor control. Gross total resection (GTR) assisted by intraoperative neuroelectrophysiological monitoring can be achieved with a reasonable risk-to-benefit ratio, especially for well-circumscribed tumors, but careful scrutiny of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is critical to surgical decision making. The authors present two cases of tegmental PAs, which appeared grossly similar on MRI and were operated on via the same surgical approach using the same intraoperative adjuncts.

OBSERVATIONS
The tumors had identical histopathological and molecular diagnoses but drastically different functional outcomes for the patients, with significant long-term complications for one of the children, which the authors believe was due to a slightly more invasive nature of this tumor. The authors demonstrate subtle preoperative MRI findings that might be potential clues to a more infiltrative nature of one PA versus another and present pathological findings supporting this argument.

LESSONS
This report serves as a reminder that not all tegmental PAs can be managed by the same surgical approach. Subtle signs of infiltration may indicate that GTR should not be attempted.
Co-occurrence of subcutaneous myxopapillary ependymoma, dermal sinus tract, and filum terminale lipoma: a review of the pathobiology of caudal spinal cord development and spinal cord tethering. Illustrative case
Authors: Johnson Gabrielle W. , Xu Yuxiao , Mian Ali Y. , Limbrick David D. 
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND
Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is typically benign and found in the conus medullaris and/or filum terminale, although rare cases of subcutaneous and extra-axial MPE have been reported. The co-occurrence of MPE, tethered cord syndrome (TCS) with lipoma of the filum terminale, and a dermal sinus tract is extremely rare, with only 6 reported cases in the literature. Here, the authors present the first case, to their knowledge, of an extra-axial, subcutaneous MPE co-presenting with TCS, lipoma of the filum terminale, and a dermal sinus tract and discuss the underlying pathobiology.

OBSERVATIONS
A 14-month-old male who presented for evaluation of a dermal sinus tract underwent magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed a tethered cord with associated lipoma. At 14 months, the patient underwent spinal cord detethering with resection of his sacral dimple and sinus tract. Histopathological evaluation revealed an incidentally found MPE within the dermal sinus tract.

LESSONS
The authors review the underlying biology of MPEs, tethered cord syndrome, and dermal sinus tracts, and explore possible points of convergence within the developmental pathways that may result in this unique concomitant presentation. Additionally, they suggest that extra-axial MPE may be underappreciated and underdiagnosed; this case suggests that extra-axial MPE may be only effectively diagnosed with histological studies.
