Objective
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of 3T-MRI in assessing musculoskeletal health in children and young people.

Design
Bone, muscle and bone marrow imaging was performed in 161 healthy participants with a median age of 15.0 years (range, 8.0, 30.0).

Methods
Detailed assessment of bone microarchitecture (constructive interference in the steady state (CISS) sequence, voxel size 0.2 × 0.2 × 0.4 mm3), bone geometry (T1-weighted turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence, voxel size 0.4 × 0.4 × 2 mm3) and bone marrow (1H-MRS, point resolved spectroscopy sequence (PRESS) (single voxel size 20 × 20 × 20 mm3) size and muscle adiposity (Dixon, voxel size 1.1 × 1.1 × 2 mm3).

Results
There was an inverse association of apparent bone volume/total volume (appBV/TV) with age (r = −0.5, P < 0.0005). Cortical area, endosteal and periosteal circumferences and muscle cross-sectional area showed a positive association to age (r > 0.49, P < 0.0001). In those over 17 years of age, these parameters were also higher in males than females (P < 0.05). This sex difference was also evident for appBV/TV and bone marrow adiposity (BMA) in the older participants (P < 0.05). AppBV/TV showed a negative correlation with BMA (r = −0.22, P =  0.01) which also showed an association with muscle adiposity (r = 0.24, P = 0.04). Cortical geometric parameters were highly correlated with muscle area (r > 0.57, P < 0.01).

Conclusions
In addition to providing deep insight into the normal relationships between bone, fat and muscle in young people, these novel data emphasize the role of MRI as a non-invasive method for performing a comprehensive and integrated assessment of musculoskeletal health in the growing skeleton.

OBJECTIVESAlthough vestibular deficits are more prevalent in hearing-impaired children and can affect their development on many levels, a pediatric vestibular assessment is still uncommon in clinical practice. Since early detection may allow for timely intervention, this pioneer project has implemented a basic vestibular screening test for each six-month-old hearing-impaired infant in Flanders, Belgium. This study aims to report the vestibular screening results over a period of three years and to define the most important risk factors for abnormal vestibular screening results.METHODSCervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials with bone-conduction were used as a vestibular screening tool in all reference centers affiliated to the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program in Flanders. From June 2018 until June 2021, 254 infants (mean age: 7.4 months, standard deviation: 2.4 months) with sensorineural hearing loss were included.RESULTSOverall, abnormal vestibular screening results were found in 13.8% (35 of 254) of the infants. The most important group at risk for abnormal vestibular screening results were infants with unilateral or bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss (20.8%, 32 of 154) (P &lt; .001, odds ratio = 9.16). Moreover, abnormal vestibular screening results were more prevalent in infants with hearing loss caused by meningitis (66.7%, 2 of 3), syndromes (28.6%, 8 of 28), congenital cytomegalovirus infection (20.0%, 8 of 40), and cochleovestibular anomalies (19.2%, 5 of 26).CONCLUSIONSThe vestibular screening results in infants with sensorineural hearing loss indicate the highest risk for vestibular deficits in severe to profound hearing loss, and certain underlying etiologies of hearing loss, such as meningitis, syndromes, congenital cytomegalovirus, and cochleovestibular anomalies.
Muscle fatique and muscle damage in strength training
Authors: Böge Veysel , Patlar Süleyman 
Published: June 2022

Background and Study Aim. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of different types of contractions on muscle damage and muscle fatigue in sedentary individuals.
Material and Methods. Thirty healthy male sedentary individuals participated in the study. Strength training in different types of contractions applied in the study was applied 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Before the study, the training loads were determined by making maximal force measurements of all subjects. The 30 subjects participating in the study were divided into 3 groups: isometric (n = 10), concentric (n = 10) and eccentric (n = 10) contraction group. Appropriate amount of blood samples was taken from the elbow vein 2 times from all subjects, before the studies and at the end of the 8-week strength training.
Results. It was observed that eight-week strength training did not cause muscle fatigue in all groups and did not create a statistically significant difference (P> 0.05). Strength training with isometric and concentric contractions for eight weeks significantly increased serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), myoglobin (Mb), interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels, while concentric strength training significantly reduced serum aspartate amino transferase (AST) levels. Strength training with eccentric contractions significantly increased serum LDH, CRP, AST, Mb and IL-6 levels, while significantly reducing serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels. Strength training with eccentric contractions significantly increased serum creatine kinase (CK), CRP, AST, IL-6 and Mb levels compared to strength training with isometric and concentric contractions at the end of the eight-week study period, but did not show the same significant effect in other parameters.
Conclusions. As a result, it can be said that eccentric strength training performed in sedentary individuals leads to more muscle damage than isometric and concentric strength training.
Effects of high intensity interval training on trace minerals and physiological parameters in tennis players
Authors: Öner Salih , Yasul Yavuz 
Published: June 2022

Background and Study Aim. This study investigated the effects of HIIT (high-intensity interval training) implementations on some serum elements, resting heart rate, total body weight, and BMI parameters in tennis players.
Material and Methods. The study group consisted of 20 athletes (aged 18-22) who were actively playing tennis. The athletes were divided into experimental (n=10) and control (n=10) group. To assign participants to these groups homogeneously, preliminary measurements were made before the study, and the results were used for clustering analysis. While the control group continued their regular tennis training, the experimental group was given additional HIIT three days a week besides regular tennis training. Measurements of BMI, resting heart rate, and body weight were taken, and serum samples were collected before and after training from both groups. The SPSS package program was used in data analysis. The level of significance was set at p<0.05 in the tests. Participants showed significant differences in sodium, calcium, iron, resting heart rate, weight, and BMI parameters between groups (p<0.05).
Results. However, no significant differences between the groups were found in potassium, chlorine, and magnesium parameters (p>0.05). The within-group measurements of sodium, calcium, resting heart rate, weight and BMI levels decreased in the experimental group in the post-test, while iron levels were higher in the post-test compared to the pre-test value (p<0.05). On the other hand, the pre-test and post-test values were similar within the control group, and there were no significant differences (p>0.05).
Conclusions. Training remodelled with HIIT implementation can affect athletes' element levels, BMI, total body weight, and resting heart rate. In addition, the increase in iron levels due to HIIT in the experimental group was important. We believe that this may affect both muscle contraction functions and the efficiency performance output. Lastly, due to the decrease of calcium and sodium elements with HIIT implementations, we suggest that HIIT applications should not be performed unsupervised. In addition, by tracking the element levels of athletes, they should be supported with supplements or nutritional meals in line with expert advice when necessary.

Published: June 2022

Background and Study Aim. Chin-up is an exercise that is done to improve the strength, muscular endurance and size of the upper back and arm muscles. There are many ways to perform chin-up exercises including by performing it with different forms of knee flexion. This study aims to examine the effects of knee flexion on muscle activation and performance during chin-up exercise.
Material and Methods. A total of twenty-one healthy trained male (age 20-25 years old) were recruited and were instructed to perform chin-up exercises in three knee conditions: i) knee fully flexed, ii) partial knee flexed, and iii) straight knee. Chin-up performance was measured by the number of repetitions performed in three sets. Muscle activation was measured using EMG and taken from latissimus dorsi (LD), posterior deltoid (PD), and biceps brachii (BB) during both concentric and eccentric phase. One-way repeated measure Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) were conducted to compare the muscle activation and number of repetitions performed across the three variation of chin-up exercise.
Results. Findings showed that during the concentric phase, BB recorded higher muscle activation during straight knee compared to knee fully flexed and partial knee flexed, p < .05. In addition, chin-up performance during straight knee and partial knee flexed were better than knee fully flexed, p < .05.
Conclusions. The results of this study demonstrated the importance to consider techniques manipulation during exercises due to its effects on acute responses as shown by number of repetitions and muscle activation in this study that might also affect the long-term outcomes.
The negative effects of the pandemic on human behavior; alienation and social anhedonia: the example of sport sciences students
Authors: Akgül Mehmet H. , Tekin Nedim 
Published: June 2022

Background and Study Aim. The social change brought about by the pandemic process all over the world has led to the restructuring of human behavior and daily life practices. This process has brought with it some social-psychological problems (such as alienation and social anhedonia) for social segments. For this reason, the aim of the research is to examine the alienation and social anhedonia levels of the students studying at the faculty of sport sciences during the pandemic process.
Material and Methods. The sample of the research consists of students studying at the faculties of sport sciences of different universities in Turkey. A total of 423 students (271 males, 152 females) participated in the study. Due to the normal distribution of the data, the t-test, one of the parametric tests, was performed for paired groups, and the relationship between Social Anhedonia Scale and Alienation Scale sub-dimensions was tested with Pearson correlation analysis. Statistical analyzes were performed with the “Statistical Package for the Social Sciences” commercial software (SPSS for Windows, version 26.0, SPSS). The significance level was determined as p<0.05 in the analyzes, and skewness and kurtosis values were considered for the normality analysis.
Results. According to the results obtained, it can be said that the pandemic process negatively affected the social anhedonia and alienation levels of male students studying at the faculty of sport sciences compared to female students. Again, it is seen that the level of alienation of the students who do sports at the professional level is higher than the students who do sports at the amateur level. Similarly, it is seen that the students of the faculty of sport sciences dealing with team sports have higher levels of social isolation, which is one of the sub-dimensions of the alienation scale, compared to the students who are engaged in individual sports. Finally, there is a negative and low-level significant relationship between social anhedonia and alienation scale sub-dimensions (p<0.05; r=-0.187; r=-0.164; r=-132).
Conclusions. As a result, it can be said that the pandemic process has had similar negative effects on the students studying in the faculties of sport sciences, as in other social segments.

Authors: Baker Julien S. , Bal Baljinder S. , Supriya Rashmi , Kaur Parmjit , Paul Maman 
Published: June 2022

Background and Study Aim. To assess the effects of Anulom Vilom Pranayama (AVP) or alternative nostril breathing and Rope Mallakhamb Training (RMT) on respiratory parameters among university females with athletic backgrounds.
Material and Methods. A quasi experimental study was performed on thirty-six, university female students from the Department of Physical Education (T), Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, India. The subjects were divided in three groups. The groups were subjected to 4-weeks of intervention including: Group A (n1=12) subjected to AVP, Group B (n2=12) subjected to RMT, and Group C: (n3=12) no training or control. Respiratory parameters were measured twice, pre and post intervention using a wet spirometer. All measurements were performed three times and the average values were recorded for analysis.
Results. 4-weeks of AVP resulted in positive increases for respiratory parameters measured including Tidal Volume (VT) 25.7%, Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) 29.4%, Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) 27.1%, Vital Capacity (VC) 33.2%, and Inspiratory Capacity (IC) 31.6% compared to the control group. Also, 4-weeks of RMT had a positive impact on respiratory parameters including (VT) 19.8%, (IRV) 22%, (ERV) 19.4%, (VC) 32 % and (IC) 28.1% compared to the control group.
Conclusions. Both AVP and RMT had a positive impact on respiratory parameters. Also, AVP training has a more positive impact on respiratory parameters than RMT and may also contribute to the enhancement of concentration-based performance and voluntary control of breathing among young females from athletic backgrounds. As a result, AVP training can be more beneficial for a competitive edge in order to improve the athletes' primary need for respiratory endurance.
Oil-Sponsored Exhibitions and Canada’s Extractive Politics of Cultural Production
Authors: Sharp Camille-Mary 
Published: June 2022

Focusing on the Canadian Museum of History’s newest permanent exhibition, The Canadian History Hall (2017), and its sponsorship by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (), this article discusses oil-sponsored museum exhibitions and the extractive politics within which Canadian culture is produced. This article begins with an overview of The Canadian History Hall and the activist response to its sponsorship by Big Oil. It then situates the exhibition within a larger history of oil and museums in Canada, reflecting on the controversial, Shell-sponsored The Spirit Sings (1988) exhibition at the Glenbow Museum. The article argues that, as it reproduces the longstanding relationship between Canadian museums and the oil industry, the Canadian Museum of History’s recent partnership exemplifies the ongoing role of extractive politics in cultural production. While European museums increasingly face pressures to divest from fossil fuels, the entanglement of culture and extractive interests in Canada suggests the need for a unique and critical approach to sponsorship in Canadian cultural institutions.

Background:
Patients who have noninflammatory arthritis of the feet may develop destructive changes on the first metatarsal head and painful dislocation of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint of 1 or more lesser toes. This aim of this study was to compare feet with noninflammatory arthritis and those with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with respect to the clinical and radiographic outcomes after treatment of these destructive deformities with a modified Scarf osteotomy with medial capsular interposition into the newly formed first MTP joint, combined with metatarsal shortening offset osteotomy.

Methods:
A retrospective observational study of 93 feet (31 with noninflammatory arthritis and 62 with RA) was performed. Hallux and lesser-toe scores on the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) scoring system, a self-administered foot evaluation questionnaire (SAFE-Q), and preoperative and postoperative radiographic parameters were evaluated.

Results:
There were significant improvements at the time of the final follow-up in the mean scores on the hallux and lesser-toe scales of the JSSF system and in the SAFE-Q score. The postoperative JSSF lesser-toes function score was better for the feet with noninflammatory arthritis feet than the feet with RA. There was no significant difference in the hallux valgus angle (HVA) between 1 month postoperatively and the final follow-up for both groups. Furthermore, the HVA showed a strong correlation between the 1-month and final follow-up values.

Conclusions:
The combination of the modified Scarf osteotomy with medial capsular interposition and shortening metatarsal offset osteotomy was useful and safe in feet with noninflammatory arthritis. The HVA at 1 month after surgery is useful to predict the HVA within 5 years after surgery. The postoperative clinical score for the lesser toes was better in the feet with noninflammatory arthritis.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Apelin, a member of the adipokine family, is a novel endogenous peptide which regulates the male reproduction system of men and male laboratory animals by interacting with a specific receptor. Recent studies have highlighted that apelin may play a role in the regulation of reproduction by reducing testerone production and inhibiting LH secretion. To the best of our knowledge, there is no available data on the presence of the apelin and its receptor in canine testes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reveal its presence and evaluate its distribution in the canine testes using immunohistochemical and RT-PCR techniques. For this purpose, five fertile and healthy male dogs were subjected to elective orchiectomy. The immunohistochemical reaction revealed the presence of apelin and its receptor in the canine testes. Apelin was localized in spermatids and spermatozoa with a positive signal in the “acrosomal bodies”. As regards the apelin receptor, a positive immunoreaction was detected in the cytoplasm of the cells localized near to the basal membrane of the seminiferous tubules and in the cytoplasm of Leydig cells. The RT-PCR analysis showed the presence of transcripts for apelin and apelin receptor in all of the samples under study. A 35 kDa band confirmed apelin receptor protein expression in all of the samples analysed. In conclusion, the paracrine and endocrine role of apelin and its cognate receptor on male reproduction reported in humans and laboratory animals, could also be hypothesized in dogs.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Background: Previous study found that C-reactive protein (CRP) can predict bleeding after on-pump CABG. To evaluate whether preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) can be a novel marker of postoperative bleeding in patients having off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Multiple variable regression analyses were performed. 537 patients undergoing off-pump isolated primary CABG at Fuwai Hospital from September 2017 to July 2018 were recorded. The primary endpoint was bleeding volume within 24 h after surgery.Results: Data of 537 patients undergoing off-pump isolated primary CABG at Fuwai Hospital were recorded. The correlations between bleeding volume within 24 h after surgery and preoperative data were analyzed with univariate and multivariate linear regression. Much more preoperative CRP concentration (B=-0.089, P<0.05) was associated with less postoperative bleeding volume and fibrinogen (B = 0.594, p <0.001).Conclusions: Preoperative CRP concentration is independently correlated with the postoperative volume of bleeding within 24 hours. CRP may become a novel coagulation index in coronary artery atherosclerotic disease.
