An insight into Short-sprint coaches’ knowledge and use of periodisation models and training methods - Sri Lankan context
Authors: Sellathurai Jeganenthiran , Draper Nick 
Published: February 2022

Background and Study Aim. Periodised training strategies, due to their demonstrated success in improving athletic performance, have become increasingly utilised by coaches, athletes, and strength and conditioning practitioners as a key training methodology. As a consequence, a coach’s knowledge of periodisation and training methods have become increasingly important for improvement of sport-sprint performance. Despite their importance of performance at the elite level, it was suspected that little is known about the Sri Lankan context. As a result, the purpose of this formative exploratory study was to examine knowledge about, and application of, periodisation and training methods by Sri Lankan elite-level coaches working with short-sprint athletes.
Material and Methods. With institutional ethics approval, ten (n=10) expert short-sprint coaches volunteered to participate in the study, with data collected via semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed inductively, to identify ‘patterns’, ‘themes’ and ‘categories’ using the NVivo 12 qualitative software.
Results. Four primary themes emerged from the interview data. These included “Periodisation models”, “Monitoring training”, “Strength development”, and “Speed development”. Findings revealed that coaches reported minimal or inadequate knowledge of periodised training and consequently, there did appear to be a gap between coach knowledge of periodised training, but additionally in regard to general training methodology; including aspect such as prescribing strength and speed training loads and, monitoring of training loads. The coaches believed that their knowledge was inadequate to support athletes with Olympic level potential.
Conclusions. The findings identified a potential knowledge gap in coach education and development for elite sprint coaches in Sri Lanka.

Published: February 2022

AbstractOxidized tannic acid (OTA) is a useful biomolecule with a strong tendency to form complexes with metals and proteins. In this study we open the possibility to further the application of OTA when assembled as supramolecular systems, which typically exhibit functions that correlate with shape and associated morphological features. We used machine learning (ML) to selectively engineer OTA into particles encompassing one-dimensional to three-dimensional constructs. We employed Bayesian regression to correlate colloidal suspension conditions (pH and pKa) with the size and shape of the assembled colloidal particles. Fewer than 20 experiments were found to be sufficient to build surrogate model landscapes of OTA morphology in the experimental design space, which were chemically interpretable and endowed predictive power on data. We produced multiple property landscapes from the experimental data, helping us to infer solutions that would satisfy, simultaneously, multiple design objectives. The balance between data efficiency and the depth of information delivered by ML approaches testify to their potential to engineer particles, opening new prospects in the emerging field of particle morphogenesis, impacting bioactivity, adhesion, interfacial stabilization, and other functions inherent to OTA.Impact statementTannic acid is a versatile bio-derived material employed in coatings, surface modifiers, and emulsion and growth stabilizers, which also imparts mild anti-viral health benefits. Our recent work on the crystallization of oxidized tannic acid (OTA) colloids opens the route toward further valuable applications, but here the functional properties tend to depend strongly on particle morphology. In this study, we eschew trial-and-error morphology exploration of OTA particles in favor of a data-driven approach. We digitalized the experimental observations and input them into a Gaussian process regression algorithm to generate morphology surrogate models. These help us to visualize particle morphology in the design space of material processing conditions, and thus determine how to selectively engineer one-dimensional or three-dimensional particles with targeted functionalities. We extend this approach to visualize other experimental outcomes, including particle yield and particle surface-to-volume ratio, which are useful for the design of products based on OTA particles. Our findings demonstrate the use of data-efficient surrogate models for general materials engineering purposes and facilitate the development of next-generation OTA-based applications.Graphic abstract

Aim. To assess the prevalence and structure of upper gastrointestinal (GI) lesions, as well as the factors associated with their development, in patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).Material and methods. This retrospective analysis of medical records with lower extremity PAD includes data from 258 patients. All patients underwent multislice computed tomography angiography of abdominal aortic visceral branches and lower limb arteries, as well as esophagogastroduodenoscopy.Results. Endoscopic evidence of upper GI lesions was detected in 164 (63,6%) patients. In particular, gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers were observed in 57,8% of patients. All patients were divided into two groups: group I — 149 (57,8%) patients with gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers, group II — 109 (42,2%) patients without it. In group I patients, a higher incidence of mesenteric artery disease was recorded — 61,7 vs 43,1% (p=0,003). An independent factor associated with the development of gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers in patients with PAD is mesenteric artery disease (relative risk: 4,43; 95% confidence interval: 1,15-17,12 (p=0,031)).Conclusion. In patients with lower extremity PAD, upper GI diseases (63,6%) occur with a high frequency, while gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers was observed in 90,9% of them. The factors associated with the development of erosions and ulcers in patients with lower extremity PAD include mesenteric artery atherosclerosis.
Eye professional selection of port movers
Authors: Fisher E. M. 
Published: February 2022

From the beginning of 1933, professional selection of loaders of the Odessa port was included in the tasks of the psychophysiological station of water transport.
The eye office was then faced with the question of the rules of eye professional selection for port movers. This question made itself felt especially because not a single relevant guideline, not a single official resolution contained specific instructions on the rules for the eye professional selection of loaders in general and port loaders in particular. Therefore, the eye department of the Unified Dispensary and Station took the lead in developing the above rules.

Perkembangan teknologi akhir-akhir ini berpengaruh ke berbagai bidang termasuk pembelajaran bahasa Jepang. Pada bidang pengajaran bahasa Jepang, perkembangan ini salah satunya dirasakan pada kegiatan peer response atau peer review pada ketarampilan menulis bahasa Jepang. Dengan perkembangan TIK kegiatan peer response dilakukan melalui media teknologi internet atau disebut juga dengan online peer response. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik kegiatan online asynchronous peer response dan face to face peer response dan lebih jauh lagi untuk menemukan model pengajaran menulis yang efektif di Indonesia. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan responden pembelajar bahasa Jepang di perguruan tinggi dengan kemampuan tingkat menengah, sebanyak 17 orang. Hasil penelitian ini adalah, ditemukannya perbedaan antara interaksi yang terjadi pada online asynchronous maupun face to face peer response. Interaksi pada face to face peer response lebih bervariasi dan aktif dibandingkan dengan online asynchronous peer response. Hal ini dapat disebabkan karena media online yang digunakan tidak tepat dan karena kemampuan bahasa Jepang untuk mengemukakan pikiran pada online asynchronous peer response masih kurang.

Background: Health services delivery system varies from country to country based on the available resources and the funding in that country. Both public and private system of health delivery work with the primary focus of providing the good health services. India has a multi-payer health care model that is paid for by a combination of public and private. Himachal Pradesh (HP) also has both public and private health institution infrastructure with penetration of public infrastructure more in the rural areas. To describe the utilization pattern of COVID-19 vaccine beneficiaries in district Kangra of HP among public and private healthcare delivery points.Method: Study was done in district Kangra with all the beneficiaries included in the COVID vaccination registered in Cowin portal.Results: Amongst the total vaccination done in dist. Kangra, 99.35% of the total doses were given in the govt setting and only 0.65% were contributed by the private setupConclusions: Since decades most of the developing world has been struggling for healthcare access and with complex delivery systems. It becomes pertinent to note that Indian COVID-19 vaccination reached heights of success through technology driven approach reaching each and every corner of the country and crossing milestones to achieve set targets. It was not unreasonable to expect that the public sector may not be able to provide effective, sustained and uninterrupted healthcare including COVID vaccination services, which could be the reason that private health sector was also involved for the later. Dist. Kangra has worked to prove the efficacy of the public sector providing most of its vaccination through government CVCs.

Due to the speed and scale of the transmission of the disease, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020 mainly. We’re not just fighting an epidemic; we’re fighting an infodemic, said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the Munich security conference. WHO stated infodemic as an overabundance of information some accurate and some not that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it. It can lead to confusion and ultimately mistrust in governments and public health response. The systematic use of risk- and evidence-based analysis and approaches to manage the infodemic and reduce its impact on health behaviours during health emergencies, was said to be as infodemic managenent.

Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause for peripheral neuropathy in India. It is a devastating complication which leads to amputation of limbs affecting the physical and social quality of life. Subclinical peripheral neuropathy is one which doesn’t have any symptoms or signs, but positive electrophysiological findings.: 1): To estimate the prevalence of subclinical peripheral neuropathy and its types among the diabetes mellitus patients. 2): To determine the various risk factors influencing them. 51 patients with diabetes mellitus without symptoms and signs of peripheral neuropathy were selected based on inclusion criteria and after assessing the screening scores. Necessary blood investigations was done and nerve conduction test was carried out in both upper and lower limbs for motor and sensory study.22(43%) out of the 51 diabetic patients had subclinical peripheral neuropathy. Lower limb(29.5%) predmominates than upper limb, sensory(23.5%) more common than motor neuropathy. Axonal neuropathy was the predominant (29%). Statistical significance was observed between the duration of diabetes mellitus, high triglyceride levels, high blood sugar profile and high HbA1C values with the presence of subclinical peripheral neuropathy.Nerve conduction study is the best for diagnosing subclinical neuropathy in diabetes mellitus patients. By early diagnosis and control of diabetes we can prevent dreadful complications.

Despite the best possible pharmacotherapy, 30% of persons with epilepsy will remain drug resistant. Drug resistant Epilepsy (DRE) has many different presentations and causes; hence evaluation may help to understand and manage appropriately. To study a cohort of adult patients with refractory focal epilepsy, focusing on clinical semiology, risk factors, imaging and video EEG findings. This is a prospective observational study done in adult neurology department of tertiary care hospital, from 2013 to 2016. The primary inclusion criteria were patients with drug refractory focal seizure (as per ILAE definition 2010), with age more than 12 years. Detailed clinical data, long term EEG monitoring, MRI and minimum follow up of 6 months were collected. Of 120 patients of DRE, 72% were in the age group of 12-30 yrs. Febrile seizure (26%) and head injury (17%) were the most significant antecedent history. Focal seizures with dyscognitive features were present in 87%. 16 patients had abnormal neurological examination. The most common radiological finding was mesial temporal sclerosis and gliosis. After complete evaluations, 30% of the patients were found to have pseudo-resistance. The evaluation led to modification of treatment in more than three-fourth of the patients. Early age of onset, history of febrile seizures, past history of head injury, focal dyscognitive type of seizures and structural lesion on imaging are common factors in patients with DRE. Pseudo- resistance due to wrong diagnosis and inadequate AEDs were responsible for one third of cases.

R value of Omicron strain has been recorded at 10 globally and in India the R value has been found to be at 2.69. The R value greater than 1 means that the numbers of cases are growing rapidly and clearly this variant is more contagious than the previous one. More over this wave is affecting children across the country. The data for this review were obtained from studies pertaining to clinical features, epidemiological and immunization trends in children obtained from various journals. As per the recent evidence the Omicron variant is more transmissible, but has less serious health consequences for children than for adults, it is important to avoid infection among children.

Healthy Donor selection is necessary for procurement of safe blood in addition to the screenings of blood bags for infectious diseases. Deferrals lead to loss of precious blood/components available for transfusion in emergency situation. To avoid such problems, we should be aware about its reasons and frequency. To find the incidence of donors who were deferred from donating blood and to determine the causes for same.The study was conducted in the blood bank of tertiary health care center, from January 2015 to December 2017 to find the incidence of deferral and reason behind it. Criteria for deferral was decided as per guidelines given by national health authority.A total of 10,000 donors were screened of which 99% were voluntary donors (VD). The total 598 donors were deferred among 10000 registered during study period. The total donor deferral rate was 6%. The percentage of deferral amongst males was 5.7% and females 7.4%. A majority (65%) of the deferred donors were between 18 to 30 years. The major causes of deferral were anemia and hypertension.Analysis of the deferrals showed that the proportion of temporary deferral was more common than the permanent deferral. Conducting pre-donation camp awareness session can reduce the deferral rate. Temporarily deferred individuals must be informed and followed up to encourage donation in future.

Published: February 2022

Soft tissue tumors are known to occur by varied presentations with atypical features, especially with regard to vascular tumors. The glomus tumour is an unusual benign neoplasm arising from smooth muscles of the perivascular glomus bodies. While it is known to occur in the extremities, this tumour has a predilection for the sub-ungal region of fingers. Vascular tumors as such, especially glomus tumors presenting in extra digital sites are extremely rare. In literature only five cases are available on extra digital sites and few cases have been reported to involve the gastrointestinal tract, airways, shoulders, wrist, knees and elbows. This report discusses the clinical and histopathological features of an glomus tumour of the forearm with atypical presentation. Glomus tumours should be considered as a differential in any nodule occurring in the extradigital locations. Extradigital tumours need not present as a painful purplish nodule and can be asymptomatic. Surgeons and pathologists have to be aware about the varied presentation of these tumours so that misdiagnosis can be avoided and patient can undergo quicker diagnosis and treatment.
