Published: January 2023

Introduction: The leftover ureteric stump after a simple nephrectomy is rarely symptomatic. Here, we report a unique case of ureteric stump stones that likely developed de novo and patients became symptomatic. Case Report: We report the case of a 53-year-old female, who had benign right nephrectomy for a nonfunctioning kidney 17 years ago and presented with three years history of recurrent urinary tract infections and right-side abdominal pain. A continuous unenhanced computed tomography scan confirmed the presence of multiple de novo stones in the leftover ureteric stump, which was successfully treated by an open transperitoneal ureteric stumpectomy. She was asymptomatic at 12 months post-operative follow-up. We describe problems of leftover ureteric stumps and the possible pathophysiology of the stones formation in this group of patients. Conclusion: Albeit rare, various symptoms and complications can develop in the leftover stump, including stumpitis, urinary tract infections, and calculi. Therefore, discussion with patients of ureteric stump complications is recommended.

OBJECTIVEProteomic profiling can identify useful biomarkers. Monozygotic (MZ) twins discordant for a condition represent an ideal test population. We aimed to investigate and validate proteomic profiling in twins with type 1 diabetes and in other well-characterized cohorts.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSA broad, multiplex analysis of 4,068 proteins in serum samples from MZ twins concordant (n = 43) and discordant (n = 27) for type 1 diabetes identified major differences that were subsequently validated by a trypsin(ogen) assay in MZ pairs concordant (n = 39) and discordant (n = 42) for type 1 diabetes, individuals at risk for (n = 195) and with (n = 990) type 1 diabetes, as well as individuals with non–insulin-requiring adult-onset diabetes diagnosed as either autoimmune (n = 96) or type 2 (n = 291).RESULTSProteomic analysis identified major differences between exocrine enzyme levels in discordant MZ twin pairs despite a strong correlation between twins, whether concordant or discordant for type 1 diabetes (P &lt; 0.01 for both). In validation experiments, trypsin(ogen) levels were lower in twins with diabetes than in the co-twin without diabetes (P &lt; 0.0001) and healthy control participants (P &lt; 0.0001). In recently diagnosed participants, trypsin(ogen) levels were lower than in control participants across a broad age range. In at-risk relatives, levels &lt;15 ng/mL were associated with an increased risk of progression (uncorrected P = 0.009). Multiple linear regression in recently diagnosed participants showed that trypsin(ogen) levels were associated with insulin dose and diabetic ketoacidosis, while age and BMI were confounders.CONCLUSIONSType 1 diabetes is associated with altered exocrine function, even before onset. Twin data suggest roles for genetic and nongenetically determined factors. Exocrine/endocrine interactions are important underinvestigated factors in type 1 diabetes.

Published: January 2023

Abstract

Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) is the most severe complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Besides the location and severity of coronary occlusion, different factors may have significant role in the pathogenesis of AMI-related cardiac arrest (CA), but their contribution is still under investigation. The aim of the study was to investigate the cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) features of myocardial injury associated with a higher risk of CA accompanying an AMI.

Methods: In total, 918 myocardial segments from 54 post-AMI patients undergoing CMR imaging with delayed gadolinium enhancement were enrolled in the study, of which 18.54% presented CA during the acute phase of AMI. In all patients, infarct mass, the proportion of high transmurality extent, and scar mass at different myocardial segments were calculated using QMap software (Medis BV).

Results: Compared to patients without CA, those with CA had a significantly higher infarct size (p = 0.03) and a higher degree of transmurality (29.28% vs. 14.1%, p = 0.01). The risk of CA during the acute phase was significantly higher in patients in whom the location of myocardial injury was at the level of latero-apical, antero-lateral, and basal anterior segments. Group 1 presented a larger infarct size at the level of the latero-apical (33.9 ± 30.6 g vs. 13.6 ± 17.3 g, p = 0.02), anterolateral (26.5 ± 29.0 g vs. 8.9 ± 12.8 g, p = 0.02), and anterobasal segment (20.1 ± 21.5 g vs. 7.8 ± 14.7 g, p = 0.02).

Conclusions: CMR imaging identified infarct mass, high transmurality degree, and large myocardial injury as features associated with an increased risk of CA in the acute phase of AMI, especially at the level of anterolateral segments.
Economical Dissections

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The Wallace-Bolyai-Gerwien theorem states any polygon can be decomposed into a finite number of polygonal pieces that can be translated and rotated to form any polygon of equal area. The theorem was proved in the early 19th century. The minimum number of pieces necessary to form these common dissections remains an open question. In 1905, Henry Dudney demonstrated a four-piece common dissection between a square and equilateral triangle. We investigate the possible existence of a three-piece common dissection. Specifically, we prove that there does not exist a three-piece common dissection using only convex polygons.

Abstract

Introduction: Short distance running is part of the maximum intensity cycling exercises, consisting of combined efforts, each step being performed as a result of a complete impulse, characterized by covering a distance in a shorter time.

Objective: This study aims to follow the development of power for the start in short distance speed trials.

Material and method: A 26-year-old male athlete, who has been practicing athletics for 14 years, participated in the study, based on the 100-meter flat sprint. The pre-test was performed before the preparation period, the intermediate test after one mesocycle (one month) and the final test after the second mesocycle (after 2 months). The evaluations followed the strength with which 4 exercises were performed (deadlift, clean, power clean and squat) of 6 repetitions each. At the same time, the length of the distance covered in the first three steps from the start was followed. During the two mesocycles, the athlete participated in specific strength development training.

Results: After the two-month training period, statistically significant (p<0,05) improvements were observed in 3 of the 4 exercises, with clean improving from 575 W to 626 W, with deadlift from 560 W to 670 W, and at squat from 422 W it reached 676 W. Regarding the result obtained at power clean, an improvement was observed from 556 W to 557 W, statistically insignificant (p = 0.48). At the triple step, there were improvements both when starting with both feet at the same level and when starting with one foot before.

Conclusions: Following the results obtained in the three evaluations, we notice that the training program was developed efficiently and that the results improved in all the evaluation tests.

Published: January 2023

Abstract

Purpose: The recovery of periarticular muscles plays a very important in the functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty. This recovery can be optimized by using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in addition to recovery exercises. This survey aims to prove the beneficial effects of electrical stimulation in the early recovery of patients with hip prosthesis.

Material and method: Searches in 4 databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science and ResearchGate) have led to the identification of 38 articles as follows: in PubMed - 5, in Google Scholar - 18, in Web of Science - 11, in ResearchGate – 4.

Results: The use of TENS in the early recovery stage after hip arthroplasty is relatively little covered in the literature. Of all the articles studied 4 articles meet the inclusion criteria. The beneficial effects of applying TENS on atrophied muscles are: increased muscle strength, decreased edema, and improved functionality.

Conclusions: Although it cannot be recommended as the only treatment method in the early recovery stage after hip arthroplasty, in combination with physical exercises, applying TENS immediately after surgery may help repair atrophied muscles.

Abstract

Aim and purpose
: It has been widely accepted in the athletic community that altitude training can increase performance at sea level, therefore this study aims to analyze the influence of altitude training on the manifestation of muscle strength in the lower limbs and aerobic endurance in students participating at in-depth training course in a branch of sports- skiing, on the “living high-training high” model.

Material
: This study included 9 students from the Physical Education and Sports Faculty of Timisoara, who took the in-depth training course in a branch of sports- skiing, taking part in the program and activities specific to this course, as well as in the training carried out at altitude.

Method
: The batch was evaluated in two moments (T0 and T1), using the following assessment tests: Yo -Yo, Roman seat in isometry, high jump evaluated via the OPTOJUMP device, long jump test. The data was processed in Excel (v2205) and the statistical processing was performed using the Student T-test. It was considered that the results are statistically significant for values of p <0.05.

Results
: The progress recorded was quantified by normalizing the absolute values and was expresse d as a percentage as follows: Yo-Yo= -1% ± 0.08 STD; RS= + 168% ± 1.26STD; HJ-Squat Jump= -4% ± 0.16STD; HJ- countermovement jump= -2% ± 0.14STD; HJ- countermovement jump-free arms = + 2% ± 0.14STD; LJ= + 6% ± 0.04STD; LJ SLJ R= + 9% ± 0.08STD; LJ SLJ L= + 10% ± 0.08STD.

Conclusions
: From the evaluations performed at sea level, at T0 and T1, a noticeable improvement in the muscular strength of the lower limbs has resulted via the following tests: the Roman seat in isometry, long jump with bilateral support, long jump with unilateral support on either the left or right side; registering a significant statistical (p). However, there was no significant improvement noticed on the rest of the tests.

Published: January 2023

Abstract

Introduction: A basic objective of physical education is to ensure the acquisition of motor skills by optimizing balance which is a fundamental psychomotor component for daily activities, together with coordination, so that improving it from the early stages of the child results in better physical performance and favors his willingness to engage in non-sedentary activities. The aim of this review is to summarize the scientific literature that has examined the importance and impact of exercise in the development of balance in primary school children.

Methods: To conduct this study, a systematic search of the electronic databases Pubmed, Web of Science, ProQuest and Scopus was conducted to identify relevant literature. Titles and abstracts of all records were checked for eligibility according to, inclusion and exclusion criteria, the process of study selection was documented in the PRISMA 2009 flowchart, in addition a Google Scholar search was performed to find additional literature.

Results: The literature search identified a total of 680 studies potentially suitable for balance analysis, after title screening and full text eligibility analysis, a total of 10 articles remained suitable for inclusion. Data from a total of 1549 subjects including 865 boys and 684 girls were eligible for analysis, the quality assessment showed that the majority of included studies met most of the assessment tool criteria for these studies (age, sex, height and weight).

Conclusions: The relationships between balance and other motor skills and the impact of regular physical activity on the maintenance of different types of balance is one of the main reasons why this motor skill should be improved and developed during the process of teaching physical education using physical education content.
