Objective: This study investigated the neuromuscular control of increasing and releasing force in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis (CLE).Methods: Fifteen patients with CLE (10 males, 5 females, 46.5 ± 6.3 years) and fifteen healthy participants (9 males, 6 females, 45.3 ± 2.5 years) participated in this study. In addition to power grip and maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of wrist extension, force fluctuation dynamics and characteristics of inter-spike intervals (ISI) of motor units (MUs) with various recruitment thresholds in the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) and extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) during a designated force-tracking task with a trapezoidal target (0%–75%–0% MVC) were assessed.Results: Besides a smaller MVC of wrist extension, the patients exhibited significantly greater task errors (p = 0.007) and force fluctuations (p = 0.001) during force increment than the healthy counterparts. Nevertheless, no force variables significantly differed between groups during force release (p &gt; 0.05). During force increment, the amplitudes of the motor unit action potential of the ECRB and ECRL muscles of the patients were smaller than those of the heathy counterparts (p &lt; 0.001). The patient group also exhibited a higher percentage of motor units (MU) with lower recruitment threshold (&lt;5% MVC) in the ECRL/ECRB muscles and a lower percentage of MU with higher recruitment threshold (&gt;40% MVC) in the ECRB muscle, compared to the healthy group. During force increment, the patient group exhibited a higher rate of decrease in inter-spike intervals (ISIs) of motor units with lower recruitment thresholds (&lt;10% MVC) in the ECRB and ECRL muscles, compared to the control group (p &lt; 0.005).Conclusion: The patients with CLE exhibited more pronounced impairment in increasing force than in releasing force. This impairment in increasing force is attributed to deficits in tendon structure and degenerative changes in the larger motor units of the wrist extensors. To compensate for the neuromuscular deficits, the rate of progressive increase in discharge rate of the remaining smaller motor units (MUs) is enhanced to generate force.Significance: The deficits in neuromuscular control observed in CLE with degenerative changes cannot be fully explained by the experimental pain model, which predicts pain-related inhibition on low-threshold motor units.
Change processes during intensive day programme treatment for adolescent anorexia nervosa: a dyadic interview analysis of adolescent and parent views

Published: August 2023

BackgroundDay programmes for adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN) can function as an alternative to inpatient admissions and/or an increase in outpatient treatment intensity. Processes of change during treatment for AN are currently poorly understood. This study aimed to explore how adolescents with AN and their parents understood the helpful and unhelpful factors and processes that impacted them during day programme treatment.MethodA critical realist paradigm was used to qualitatively explore the views of 16 participants. Participants were recruited from the Intensive Treatment Programme (ITP) at the Maudsley Center for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders (MCCAED) at the end of treatment. Dyadic Interview Analysis (DIA) was used to compare and contrast the narratives of the seven adolescent–parent pairs after two inductive reflexive thematic analyses were conducted for the group of eight adolescents and the group of eight parents separately.ResultsEight subthemes across three themes were identified: 1) “Like me she didn't feel so alone anymore”—families connect with staff, peers, and each other; 2) “You have to eat because ITP say so”—the programme provides families with containment through its structure and authority; and 3) “I found that I was using the skills I learnt there like in multiple aspects of my life, not just around food”—families take in new ideas and generalize these into their lives. These interconnected themes generated hope and change. However, helpful elements individually could be unhelpful if one or more of the other factors were missing. For example, staff firmness, which participants often found helpful (theme two), could be experienced as harshness when adolescents did not feel related to as individuals (theme one).ConclusionThe findings can be conceptualized within recent descriptions regarding the therapeutic change, including epistemic trust and mentalization. Treatment characteristics, such as intensity and containment, as well as illness-specific factors and processes, such as control and collaboration, the role of peer support, and the potential for family members to experience the impact of the adolescent's AN and treatment non-response as traumatic, are equally important to consider.
People behavioral during health information searching in COVID-19 era: a review
Authors: Alzghaibi Haitham 
Published: August 2023

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in health information-seeking behavior (HISB) on the Internet.ObjectiveThis review aims to identify and synthesize the available evidence on health information-seeking behavior on the Internet during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsElectronic search of databases was conducted on PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Taylor and Francis Online to identify relevant articles. Studies that examined health information-seeking behavior on the Internet during or after the COVID-19 pandemic were included. Data from the included studies were subjected to a thematic analysis.ResultsA total of 355 articles were identified in the initial database search. After screening, 15 articles were included in this review paper, with a population of 33,326. Search engines, social media, and news portals were the most commonly used information sources. The primary motivators for seeking health information online were curiosity, catching up with updated information, and paying attention to the COVID-19 transmission. Participants’ satisfaction with the information obtained online was positive in most studies. The online query for all items related to COVID-19 and health increased during the pandemic. The most searched topics were symptoms of COVID-19, restrictions, current prevalence/spread of COVID-19, and preventive measures. Higher scores in digital health literacy (DHL) were associated with a well-established and effective health information-seeking behavior.ConclusionThe findings of this review provide insight into the patterns and trends of health information-seeking behavior on the Internet during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The results suggest that search engines, social media, and news portals remain key sources of information during the pandemic. It also assessed the relationship between the DHL and the HISB and found that having a good DHL generally meant a good HISB.
An investigation of what protective individual- and community-level factors are associated with life satisfaction in middle-aged and older family carers in Ireland
Authors: McGarrigle Christine A. , Ward Mark , Kenny Rose Anne 
Published: August 2023

BackgroundFamily care plays an essential role in providing care in society. However, caring can cause stress, and mental and physical responses to caring vary widely. Different outcomes for carers may reflect different approaches or adaptability to caring and their ability to maintain or recover their mental health and wellbeing following an adverse event (psychosocial resilience). We aim to identify factors that may promote psychosocial resilience, conceptualized as maintaining or recovering subjective wellbeing and operationalized as satisfaction with life, among carers.MethodsData were from 6 Waves (2009–2021) of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Aging (TILDA), a prospective biennial nationally representative longitudinal study of older adults aged ≥50 in Ireland. Family caregiving was assessed in Waves 3–6. Participants were asked if they cared for someone, their relationship to the recipient, and the number of hours per week that they provided care. We used growth mixture modeling to identify latent trajectories of satisfaction with life (SWL) before and after caring was initiated. Regression modeling was then used to identify protective factors (at the individual, family, and community levels) associated with resilient trajectories.ResultsOverall, 731 (12.2%) participants became carers during follow-up. We identified three trajectories in SWL in carers following initiation of caring, namely, Resilient-Stable (81%), Resilient-Recovery (12%), and Non-recovery (6%). Membership in Resilient-Stable and Resilient-Recovery trajectories was associated with fewer depressive symptoms (OR = 0.86, 95% CI 0.78, 0.94) and chronic conditions (OR = 0.21, 95% CI 0.06, 0.74), larger social networks (OR = 2.03, 95% CI 1.06, 3.86), more close friends and relatives (OR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.01, 1.32), and caring for someone other than a child (OR = 0.19, 95% CI 0.07, 0.51) compared to the Non-recovery group.ConclusionBecoming a family carer was associated with a decline in SWL over time in some carers. However, most carers either did not experience a decline in SWL or recovered their SWL over time. We found that both individual and community-level supports may be protective for carers' wellbeing. These results will inform the priorities for social and community-level services and support for older carers and contribute to the design of new projects and programs to meet these needs.
“Words are too small”: exploring artmaking as a tool to facilitate dialogues with young South African women about their sexual and reproductive health experiences

Published: August 2023

BackgroundAdolescents and young women are at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies. However, conversations about sexual and reproductive health (S&amp;RH) are difficult and stigmatised. Visual art-based approaches have been a useful adjunct to language-dependent interviews, encouraging embodied memory recall. Here, we explored a novel visual art-based methodology—“Stories from the Edge”—with a cohort of young women to understand how artmaking might facilitate dialogue of how S&amp;RH experiences influenced behaviour, to enrich dialogues captured in the individual in-depth interviews (IDIs).MethodsSeven isiXhosa-speaking young women (aged 21–25 years) were recruited into a six-session art-based engagement, painting the stories of their S&amp;RH experiences. Large format artmaking and IDIs contributed to the data set. IDIs were audio recorded, transcribed, and translated and then analysed thematically.ResultsYoung women felt that the visual art-based methodology eased barriers to communicating experiences of S&amp;RH-seeking behaviours, with one woman commenting that “words are too small” to capture lived experiences. Artmaking provided the opportunity to express emotional complexities of the pleasures of intimate relationships and the heartbreak of betrayal for which they had no language. Significant social relationships (family, partners, peers) influenced sexual and reproduction attitudes and practices more than healthcare facilities and staff and more distal socio-cultural attitudes/practices. These influences shifted from adolescence to adulthood—from family to peer and partners.ConclusionYoung women valued using the art-based methodology, which facilitated recall and verbalising their S&amp;RH experiences more fully than language-only research. The process outlined here could provide a creative method that builds communication skills to negotiate the needs and desires of young women with partners and staff at S&amp;RH services.

Published: August 2023

IntroductionThis study examined the effects of Libifem® on exercise performance and body composition in females 25–45 years old.MethodsParticipants were randomized to three equal groups to consume: 600 mg Libifem®/day, 300 mg Libifem®/day or a placebo for 8 weeks. Participants completed a whole-body exercise program three times a week for 8 weeks. At baseline, week 4 and week 8, muscle strength and endurance, functional threshold power, body composition, and sex hormones were measured. At week 8, all three groups increased leg press 1RM compared to baseline.ResultsA significant difference between group treatment effect was seen for leg press at week 8 (p = 0.045), with the 600 mg Libifem® group significantly increasing their leg press 1RM compared to placebo (p = 0.014). The 600 mg Libifem® group significantly reduced their total fat mass (0.96 kg loss) from baseline compared to placebo group (0.09 kg gain). There was no significant difference in fat mass for the 300 mg Libifem® group (0.23 kg loss). The 600 mg Libifem® group had a significant increase in lean mass compared to both the 300 mg and placebo groups (p = 0.011 and 0.009, respectively).DiscussionOverall, there were significant and dose-related changes in body composition and ergogenic parameters, comparable with previous findings in males.

Diversos contenidos histórico-lingüísticos de la toponimia de Álava
Authors: Cierbide Ricardo 
Published: August 2023

Se pueden señalar dos etapas en las consideraciones sobre toponimia vasca. La primera iniciada por E. de Garibay y Zamalloa y que prosiguió hasta mediados del presente siglo y la segunda a partir de las obras y estudios de L. Michelena y de J. Caro Baroja, caracterizada por el empleo de una metodología científica. Los primeros trabajos no pasan de meras consideraciones carentes las más de las veces de rigor, frente a las segundas, de valor filológico, y por lo tanto científico.
Por lo que se refiere a Álava, se advierten diversas nomenclaturas, una claramente vasca, sin duda la más antigua, y otras, de carácter latino y romance, de fácil interpretación, junto a voces de difícil explicación. En el presente trabajo se analizan diversos componentes y se insiste en el respeto a la transmisión histórica y popular, con objeto de respetar su continuidad, evitando así invenciones de reciente creación.
Onomástica vasca en La Rioja
Authors: González Perujo José María , Martínez Sáenz de Jubera Martín 
Published: August 2023

Comenzamos este artículo con un repaso a la presencia del euskera en La Rioja y con la exposición de las diferentes interpretaciones que de ella se han dado. Posteriormente, nos centramos en los datos aportados por la onomástica de la epigrafía antigua, estableciendo importantes relaciones entre estos testimonios y los que nos aporta la onomástica euskoaquitana.
Terminamos situando, con las lógicas reservas, al euskera en La Rioja prerromana, frente a anteriores teorías que consideraban dicho espacio como totalmente celta y, asimismo, apuntando la más que probable continuidad de esta presencia hasta los albores de la Edad Moderna.

The American De coelo: Heaven and Earth in the New World’s First Printed Work on Natural Philosophy
Authors: Rodríguez Camarena Edgar Omar 
Published: August 2023

The article analyses Alonso de la Vera Cruz’s ideas on cosmography, including both celestial and geographical conceptions, displayed in De coelo from his Physica speculatio (1557). This book introduced in New Spain the hegemonic natural knowledge of the time as well as alternative ideas. At the same time, living for years in the New World, de la Vera Cruz drew on his own experience when discussing the qualities of the Americas and their inhabitants. Unlike the imperial cosmography of the time, he valued not only the natural qualities of those lands but also their inhabitants, which had important social implications. We argue that De la Vera Cruz reinterpreted European notions to adapt them to the Americas and, at the same time, developed a local perspective that transferred the idea of centrality from Europe to the New World. In doing so, he had to mediate with both local and transatlantic interests and visions. Reissued three more times in Salamanca since the 1569 edition, the Physica speculatio included references to the coasts of the American continent, which constitutes an exception to the secret nature of this kind of cosmographical information in the Ibero-American world.
