    Abstract Overarm throwing is an essential fundamental movement skill (FMS). Competency in throwing is critical to encourage physical activity throughout lifespan. However, the segmental sequencing characteristics of skilled throwing to achieve maximum ball release speed are unclear. Further, the standard instructions for segmental sequencing in coaching manuals are anecdotal and not based on scientific evidence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish the critical features of upper-body sequencing in skilled throwing for maximum speed. This would enable revised instructions for coaching throwing based on scientific evidence. The three-dimensional kinematics of 144 right-handed unconstrained maximum overarm throws were captured and analyzed. The quartiles of participants with the fastest and lowest ball release speed, normalized by height, were defined as the Skilled Group and Less Skilled Group, respectively. Paired t-tests were used to determine the differences in times of successive events within groups and independent t-tests for between-group differences in temporal space between events for all sequences. A characteristic segmental sequence of each group was defined as a sequence with significant within-group differences in two successive events (p < 0.001), while a critical segmental sequence was defined as a sequence with significant differences in temporal space both within groups and between groups (p < 0.001). The Skilled Group had six characteristic sequences, while two were found for the Less Skilled Group, summarized in the conceptual model. A single critical sequence of non-throwing arm elbow extension prior to shoulder extension was found. Five evidence-based instructions were recommended to add to the Australian FMS instruction manual.

    Abstract How does the human neurophysiological system self-organize to achieve optimal phase relationships among joints and limbs, such as in the composite rhythms of butterfly and front crawl swimming, drumming, or dancing? We conducted a systematic review of literature relating to central nervous system (CNS) control of phase among joint/limbs in continuous rhythmic activities. SCOPUS and Web of Science were searched using keywords "Phase AND Rhythm AND Coordination". This yielded 1039 matches from which 23 papers were extracted for inclusion based on screening criteria. The empirical evidence arising from in-vivo, fictive, in-vitro, and modelling of neural control in humans, other species, and robots indicates that the control of movement is facilitated and simplified by innervating muscle synergies by way of spinal central pattern generators (CPGs). These typically behave like oscillators enabling stable repetition across cycles of movements. This approach provides a foundation to guide the design of empirical research in human swimming and other limb independent activities. For example, future research could be conducted to explore whether the Saltiel two-layer CPG model to explain locomotion in cats might also explain the complex relationships among the cyclical motions in human swimming.

    Abstract In this paper ways in which performance in 100 m front crawl might be improved are explored. Researchers were identified as 'primary sources' to provide a rationale for how swimmers might improve their performance and to estimate the potential magnitude of improvement. The researchers selected as the primary sources were identified from an initial search of the Scopus and Web of Science data bases using keywords appropriate for the race phases including start, stroking, turn, and finish and their component sub-phases. Recent research was prioritised to ensure that the latest knowledge was considered. Based on an analogy drawn from the 'Chariots of Fire' movie, the hypothetical question was asked: how can we reduce the 100 m time by 0.5s of a swimmer who is already an elite performer? Estimates of potential improvement ranged from 0.013s for the reaction time in the start phase to 1.0s by optimising mid-pool kicking to minimise drag. It is concluded that even at the very elite level, fine-tuning to optimise performance in the different phases of the race could elevate an elite swimmer to podium level performance.

    Abstract Species-level paraphyly was found by Funk and Omland (2003) to occur in 23% of animal species on the basis of a meta-analysis of published mitochondrial gene trees. Given the potential for bias in the selection of study organisms and the subsequent publication of their gene trees, I re-estimated the incidence of paraphyly in an independent dataset of publicly accessible COI sequences from the Barcode of Life Data System. Among 7368 animal species represented by two or more sequences, 19% were paraphyletic, slightly less than in the previous study. Rates within major taxonomic groups mirrored, but were slightly lower than, that observed earlier. Tests were made for operational factors that could inflate, and sampling effects that could underestimate, the rate of paraphyly. Overall the previous findings are confirmed. The observed incidence suggests that on average animal species diverged 2-3 Ne generations in the past, far short of the predicted 5 Ne generations required for complete monophyly.

    Abstract The management of the patient with an enterocutaneous fistula is complex and requires coordinated care on many fronts for successful elimination. With optimal nonoperative management a fistula may heal spontaneously, the majority within the first 4 weeks after development. Definitive surgical treatment is best achieved with resection of the bowel containing the fistula and anastomosis of healthy normal bowel. The timing of definitive surgery appears to be optimal months after development, if tolerated. Death rates are low after surgery and patients who experience the recurrence of a fistula after initial attempt at closure can ultimately still be cured.

    Abstract While it is the goal of academic institutions to train male and female resident physicians equally, gender-related implicit bias may play a role in resident training, thus impacting the quality and fairness of education. Implicit bias may be one of the reasons for the discrepancies that exist in resident training, specifically in learning style, evaluations by faculty members, and treatment of female residents by other clinicians. Patterns of systemic gender-related implicit bias, we argue, remain pervasive in the healthcare system and affect medical education. This review identifies areas of surgical education that are susceptible to gender-related bias and provides recommendations to safeguard gender equity in resident education. We believe behavioral change can help maintain an inclusive learning environment. Using evidence from existing data, we generated guidelines to provide surgical educators in academic centers with information to further understanding of, training in, and steps toward overcoming gender-related implicit bias in resident education. Our guidelines include specific recommendations for educators to require training modules, remove bias from teaching resources, use formal introductory titles, maintain comparable evaluations, encourage women in surgery, adjust instructional methods, and caution self-reporting.

    Abstract Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common entity encountered by the surgeon. Though most LGIB stops on its own, familiarity with the diagnoses and their treatments is critical to optimal patient care. Even in 2016, surgery may be required. Advances in imaging have led to an enhanced ability to localize bleeding. Newer anticoagulants have developed which provide ease of use to the patient, but challenges to caregivers when bleeding arises.
