    Abstract Summary: Objective: Two techniques facilitate the transition in an alpine ski turn, extension (EXT) and flexion (FLEX). The purpose of this study is to compare NIRS, EMG, and RPE responses between EXT and FLEX in expert level skiers. Design: 24 Professional Ski Instructors of America Level III alpine ski instructors, examiners, and National Demonstration Team members completed one standardized run each of EXT and FLEX. A turn cycle, made of a right and left turn, was divided into four Phases. Methods: NIRS assessed HbO2 desaturation in the rectus femoris (RF) and vastus lateralis (VL). EMG was collected from the RF, VL, and gluteus medius (GM). Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE, 0–10) assessed subjective exertion. Results: FLEX resulted in greater HbO2 desaturation in RF (−77.9 ± 21% vs. −67.5 ± 23%, p < 0.001), VL (−69.8 ± 23.1% vs. −61.1 ± 24.6%, p < 0.001) and RPE (6.0 ± 2.3 vs. 5.2 ± 2.0, p < 0.001) compared to EXT. FLEX generally resulted in greater EMG activity in the steering and transition phases for RF and VL (p < 0.001) while EXT resulted in greater activity GM on the inside leg. Conclusions: Caution should be exercised with recreational skiers as the FLEX transition resulted in significantly greater physiological stress compared to EXT. Localized hypoxia appears to be the focal point of this stress as HbO2 desaturation was ∼15% greater along with 15% greater RPE during FLEX. FLEX also produced greater EMG activity than EXT in the majority of the turn phases.

    Abstract Background Helicobacter pylori treatment failure remains a challenging problem. This study aimed to identify predictive factors for successful eradication in patients following treatment failures. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study. This study included 1,050 dyspeptic patients diagnosed with H. pylori infection at tertiary care center in Thailand between March 2014 and October 2021. Patients' demographic data, endoscopic findings, H. pylori culture, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), treatment regimens and outcomes were analysed. Results Of 1,050 patients with H. pylori infections, 302 (28.7%) experienced treatment failure (mean age 58.4 years; 44.7% males). AST was performed in 192. Resistance was observed for metronidazole (43.2%), levofloxacin (33.9%), clarithromycin (24%), and amoxicillin (2.1%). There was no tetracycline resistance. Multidrug-resistance (MDR) was significantly more common following treatment failure (45.5% vs. 15.7%, p<0.001). Baseline characteristics were similar between treatment successes and failures. Eradication rates after first-line and second-line regimens were 71.2% and 54.5%, respectively. Medication nonadherence [OR 36.6 (95%CI 8.65-155.03, p<0.001)] and MDR [OR 4.49 (95%CI 2.29-8.81, p<0.001)] were associated with treatment failure. Over time, resistance increased for metronidazole, levofloxacin, and clarithromycin, while eradication rates with triple therapy declined. Tailored antibiotic therapy [OR 4.92 (95%CI 1.61-14.99, p = 0.005)] and a regimen including 4-times-daily dosing of amoxicillin (2 grams/day) [OR 3.05 (95%CI 1.10-8.41, p = 0.032)] were significantly associated with treatment success after first-line failure. Eradication rates when using tailored therapy and 4-times-daily dosing of amoxicillin (2 grams/day) were 91.1% and 89.4%, respectively. Performing AST before first-line therapy resulted in the highest cure rates. AST performed after multiple treatment failures was also associated with higher eradication rates compared with the ...

    Abstract The Irish Johne's Control Programme (IJCP) provides a long-term approach to the voluntary control of Johne's disease (JD) in Ireland, strongly supported by Irish cattle industry leadership. It leverages the establishment of Animal Health Ireland for control of animal diseases not regulated by the European Union. The IJCP has four objectives: facilitate protection against spread of JD to uninfected farms; reduce the level of infection when present; assure markets of JD control in Ireland; and improve calf health and farm biosecurity. Key IJCP elements are an annual veterinary risk assessment and management plan (VRAMP), annual whole herd test (WHT) by ELISA on blood or milk samples with ancillary faecal PCR testing of ELISA reactors, and Targeted Advisory Service on Animal Health (TASAH) investigations of infected herds. There are pathways for assurance of herds with continuing negative tests and for management of test-positive herds. Herdowners are responsible for on-farm activities, and specifically-trained (approved) veterinary practitioners have a pivotal role as technical advisors and service providers. The programme is supported by training of veterinarians, performance of testing in designated laboratories, documentation of policies and procedures, innovative data management for herd and test activities and for programme administration, training, and broad communication and awareness activities. Tools and systems are refined to address emerging issues and enhance the value of the programme. An Implementation Group comprising industry, government and technical leaders sets strategic direction and policy, advised by a Technical Working Group. Shared funding responsibilities are agreed by key stakeholders until 2022 to support herds in the programme to complete requirements. Herd registrations have increased steadily to exceed 1,800. National bulk tank milk surveillance is also being deployed to identify and recruit test-positive herds with the expectation that they have a relatively high proportion of ...

    Abstract Connection with nature has been associated with greater participation in a range of biodiversity conservation behaviours, and is increasingly being recognised as a potentially useful policy tool to address conservation outcomes. Yet, understanding of how connection with nature may be nurtured remains poorly understood. This research investigates the extent to which spending time in nature, and in different types of nature, predicted change in connection with nature (captured by the CN-12) over a 12-month period. Data were from a representative sample (based on age, gender, and metropolitan/regional residence) of the adult population in the state of Victoria, Australia, collected via an online survey. Results of analyses of variance and paired-samples t-tests suggested spending time in nature at least monthly was associated with higher connection with nature scores. Results from multiple linear regression and mediation analyses suggested that more time spent in nature (generally), and more time spent in protected areas, waterways, and urban parks (specifically), predicted small increases in connection with nature. These findings suggest that policies that encourage spending more time in nature, including in protected areas, waterways, and urban parks, could be useful for increasing connection with nature and, in turn, addressing biodiversity conservation outcomes. The findings of this research should be of interest to policymakers interested in addressing biodiversity conservation issues.

    Abstract Abstract Background The establishment of new anatomy facilities needs to accommodate a combination of modern teaching modalities that best align with evidence-based best teaching practices. This article describes the process in which our state-of-the-art anatomy laboratories were designed and implemented, and how these facilities support aspects of modern anatomy education. Methods A list of best practices for anatomy education in a modern medical curriculum was summarized from the literature. To assess student satisfaction, a survey related to student perception of the anatomy facilities (5-point Likert scale) was conducted. Results Our educational modalities include a broad range of teaching approaches. The Instructional Studio houses prosected and plastinated specimens, and cadaveric dissections are performed. Each of our three Dry Laboratories allow for active learning and interaction between small student groups. The Webinar Room acts as a conference room for departmental and online meetings, discussions with students, and dialogues with affiliated hospitals via the internet. The Imaging Center is equipped with a Sectra® medical educational platform, CAE Vimedix® Virtual Medical Imaging Ultrasound Training System, and Philipps Lumify® Ultrasound devices to train students to conduct and interpret sonographic images. Moreover, the Complete Anatomy® program is made available to all our students. Conclusion The layout of our newly created Anatomy Facilities allows for all aspects of modern medical education mentioned in the literature. These educational modalities and teaching approaches are highly appreciated by our faculty and students. Moreover, these technologies allowed for a smooth transition from on-site anatomy teaching to online education during the COVID pandemic.
