The purpose of this paper is to summarise the consensus methodology that was used inform International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport (Amsterdam 2022). Building a Delphi process questions and outcomes from 5th Conference Sport, Scientific Committee identified key questions, answers which would help encapsulate current science sport-related concussion guide clinical practice. Over 3½ years, delayed by 2 years due pandemic, author groups conducted systematic reviews each selected...

<h3>Background</h3> Sleep disturbances are common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) a considerable negative impact on their quality of life. However, factors associated measures sleep daily life have not been investigated before nor has the association between and ability to engage physical activity day-to-day basis studied. <h3>Aims</h3> To provide insight into relationship actigraphic severity, exertional dyspnoea, gender parts week; investigate next day...
SummaryBackgroundProcalcitonin is a rapid response biomarker specific for bacterial infection, which not routinely used in the UK National Health Service. We aimed to assess whether using procalcitonin-guided algorithm would safely reduce duration of antibiotic therapy compared with usual care, C-reactive protein commonly biomarker.MethodsThe BATCH trial was pragmatic, multicentre, open-label, parallel, two-arm, individually randomised, controlled conducted 15 hospitals England and Wales....
BACKGROUND: An increased concern for injury risk is associated with the rising popularity in street dance. Stunting movements dance are comparable to aesthetic sports documented high risks of concussions (e.g., cheerleading and gymnastics). Limited literature comments on dance-related injuries youth. PURPOSE: To assess among youth dancers aged 11–19 years across a 6-month term Calgary, Canada. METHODS: This prospective cohort study substudy national Surveillance High Schools Reduce...
There is evidence to suggest that organic cerebral changes occur in elderly depressed patients. Quantitative studies of patients have demonstrated they reduced ‘radio-attenuation’ on computerised tomography (CT) scans and as a group resembled more closely demented than normal controls (Jacoby et al , 1983). Many biochemical associated with ageing are similar the pathophysiological abnormalities depression dementia (Alexopoulos 1988). These changes, coupled high frequency depressive syndromes...
The purpose was to quantify the effects of mid-flight whole-body and trunk rotation on knee mechanics in a double-leg landing. Eighteen male 20 female participants completed jump-landing-jump task five conditions: no rotation, testing leg ipsilateral or contralateral (WBRC) direction, (TRI) direction. WBRC TRI conditions demonstrated decreased flexion increased abduction angles at initial contact (2.6 > Cohen's dz 0.3) peak vertical ground reaction forces adduction moments during 100 ms...
The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaire on Health Problems (OSTRC-H) is a valid and reliable registration method for self-reported injuries regularly used among dancer populations. Monthly questionnaire administration acceptable in athlete populations but has not been evaluated dancers. aim of this exploratory study was to assess the influence weekly versus monthly OSTRC-H estimated injury outcomes elite adolescent ballet
Gastroesophageal scintigraphy has been described as a sensitive and accurate way to detect quantitate gastroesophageal reflux (GER). Our objectives here were evaluate the usefulness of modified scintigraphic technique in detection GER lung aspiration patients fed by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), assess incidence after insertion PEG. Further, we sought examine whether or not underlying cause dysphagia plays any significant part causation GER.Twenty-two patients, 13 with...
Very little is known about the normal temporal and quantitative relationships between gastric emptying gall bladder emptying. Using a non-invasive double isotope technique these were investigated in 22 healthy adults. 99Tcm EHIDA was used as biliary tracer 113Inm labelled bran content tracer. Gastric monoexponential with t1/2 of 45 +/- 3 minutes (mean SEM). In 15 subjects emptied relation to eating according exponential function. 15.0 1.6% contents before began.

<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objective:</b> To assess the efficacy of long term octreotide as adjuvant treatment to programmed endoscopic sclerotherapy after acute variceal haemorrhage in cirrhotic portal hypertension. <b>Design:</b> Randomised clinical trial. <b>Setting:</b> University hospital. <b>Subjects:</b> 32 patients with <b>Interventions:</b> Programmed injection subcutaneous 50 μg twice daily for 6 months, or alone. <b>Main outcome measures:</b> Episodes recurrent bleeding and survival....
Tests of gastric emptying with modern scintigraphic methods are recommended in the clinical management disorders. An audit 472 tests carried out over a 10 year period was performed to discover reasons for requests from consultant clinicians, their anticipation results tests, and influence upon subsequent patients. Excluding control (n = 47) research 50) studies, there were 375 referrals that could be grouped under headings: non-ulcer dyspepsia 72), suspected diabetic gastroparesis 18),...
The purpose was to quantify the effect of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury on balance and jump-landing performance bilateral asymmetries. Among 500 collegiate athletes who performed a reaching test double-leg counter-movement at baseline, 8 male 6 female suffered ACL injuries. In follow-up, they 3 months after reconstruction (ACLR) ACLR. Less distances for injured leg increased distance asymmetries were observed ACLR compared baseline. peak jumping landing forces force found...
249 patients with well differentiated thyroid cancer attended the Nuclear Medicine Department of Royal Liverpool Hospital (formerly housed at Clinic) from 1967 to 1990. Papillary carcinoma was histologically evident in 68% and follicular 32%. Fifteen percent all died their cancer. The extent initial surgery did not appear influence recurrence disease, nor patient survival. Univariate analysis showed that males had a worse survival rate than females during 5 years after diagnosis but...
