Inadequate immunoregulation and elevated inflammation may be risk factors for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), microbial inputs are important determinants of immunoregulation; however, the association between gut microbiota PTSD is unknown. This study investigated microbiome in a South African sample PTSD-affected individuals trauma-exposed (TE) controls to identify potential differences diversity or community structure.The Clinician-Administered Scale DSM-5 was used diagnose according...
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) use inhaled medicines daily due to respiratory manifestations. However, only 31 % of users is inhaling correctly. Digital solutions targeting inhalation could help CF patients improve their technique and thus health outcomes. the electronic monitoring devices shows a decrease over time. Therefore, aim study was investigate patients' preferences for on regular basis reasons behind these preferences. Semistructured interviews were conducted 11 from four...
Recent studies have shown the enhanced diagnostic capability of waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) over BMI. However, while a structured cutoff hierarchy has been established for BMI, rigorous analysis to define individuals as obese using WHtR not performed on sample American adults. This study attempts establish metabolic syndrome outcome.The consisted that were part National Longitudinal Study Adolescent Health (Add Health). The final 7 935 participants (3 469 males, 4 466 females) complete...
<h3>Importance</h3> Concussion on university campuses is a significant health problem. Characterizing the incidence of concussion college may inform education and resource allocation policy at student care centers. <h3>Objectives</h3> To establish measure among collegiate undergraduate students to describe characteristics associated with incidence, including sex, cause, month. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This prospective cohort study included data from 3 academic years August 2015...
Objectives To examine non-sport- and sport-related concussion severity, clinical care frequency delayed reporting in relation to recovery duration among collegiate athletes. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Pac-12 varsity Participants 461 male female athletes Primary secondary outcome measures The incidence of (SRC) non-sport-related (NRC) were collected as well times return-to-play (RTP), symptom score severity reported a loss consciousness (LOC), retrograde amnesia (RGA)...
Research on physical fitness often regards socioeconomic status (SES) as a confounding factor. However, few studies investigate the impact of SES fitness. This study investigated in both males and females, with an economic-based construct SES.The sample consisted 954 6th, 7th, 8th graders from public, urban, Illinois middle school. The students participated FITNESSGRAM battery assessments part education. Descriptive statistics were calculated for height, weight, age, sex. Students grouped...
To assess diagnostic accuracy and reliability of sideline concussion tests in college athletes.Athletes completed baseline including Post-Concussion Symptom Scale, Standardised Assessment Concussion (SAC), modified Balance Error Scoring System (m-BESS), King-Devick test EYE-SYNC Smooth Pursuits. Testing was repeated athletes diagnosed acutely with compared to a matched teammate without concussion.Data were collected on 41 concussed controls. Test-retest for symptom score severity assessed...
Recent studies have associated sport-related concussion with depression and impaired cognitive ability later in life former professional football players. However, population two 1950s-era cohorts did not find an association between high school participation cognition or depressive symptoms late adulthood.This study assessed whether actual/intended contact sports during adolescence had adverse effect on participants' early adulthood. We hypothesized that there would be association.Cohort...
Mental health problems are a premorbid and postinjury concern among college student athletes. Clinical phenotypes of anxiety mood disruption prevalent following mild traumatic brain injury, including concussion, common sports injury. This work examined whether concussed athletes with history mental higher symptoms at baseline were more likely to have reports as well prolonged resolution postconcussive near-baseline measures.This was retrospective cohort study multi-institutional database...
Sport-related concussion has garnered increasing scientific attention and research over the last decade. Collegiate student-athletes represent an important cohort in this field. As such, Pac-12 CARE-Affiliated Program (CAP) was formed 2017 as a regional hub of Concussion Assessment, Research Education (CARE) consortium. CAP is multisite, prospective, longitudinal study that aims to improve student-athlete health by identifying factors associated with incidence recovery using knowledge inform...
ABSTRACT Background: Posterior cervical fusion (PCF) with lateral mass screws is a favorable treatment option to revise symptomatic pseudarthrosis due reliable rates of arthrodesis; however, this technique introduces elevated risk for wound infection and hospital readmission. A tissue-sparing PCF approach involving facet fixation instrumentation reduces the postoperative complications while stabilizing level achieve these outcomes have been limited small study cohorts from individual...
The targeting rule was adopted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 2008 to discourage dangerous contact during collegiate American football competition. Although rules have been emphasized as a means reduce concussion rates, there is currently no evidence that plays are higher risk for than other football.To compare rate of occurring versus nontargeting football.Cross-sectional study.Concussions games 2016-2019 Pac-12 Conference were classified having occurred either...
The objective of this study was to describe the purpose, methods, and effects Pac-12 Health Analytics Program (HAP) approach on sports medicine informatics, research, analytics, health care operations. Sports injury-surveillance initiatives have been supporting clinical research community in for nearly 4 decades. Whereas initial systems tracked only a few sports, current surveillance programs expanded include entire professional elite athlete organizations, providing important statistics...
The current study investigated the association between breastfeeding and adult weight distribution using an emerging indicator of distribution, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). sample consisted two subsamples individuals that were part National Longitudinal Study Adolescent Health. One (n = 1 179) from sibling pair data. A second 4 648) not paired Regression models constructed to establish if there was a relationship measures distribution: WHtR body mass index (BMI). Controls for parental...
Drug overdose is the leading cause of injury-related death in United States. It has been linked to respiratory depression and cardiac toxicity, both which can lead arrest. Despite this potential association, few studies have examined relationship, particularly transport hospital. The purpose research was determine if there a relationship between opioid arrest transport.
<h3>Objective</h3> To assess test-retest reliability and sensitivity/specificity of components the SCAT-3; symptom score/severity, Standardized Assessment Concussion (SAC) modified-BESS (m-BESS), for diagnosis concussion. <h3>Design</h3> Prospective, case-control. <h3>Setting</h3> Two NCAA Division I universities. <h3>Participants</h3> Varsity athletes <h3>Interventions (or Risk Factors)</h3> Athletes completed a preseason baseline SCAT-3.

Kickoff plays in American football are associated with an increased risk of concussion compared other play types. In 2018, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Football Rules Committee altered kickoff rules so a fair catch inside 25-yard line results touchback, ensuing drive starting on line. The intention was to decrease number returns corresponding rate concussions plays.To determine whether 2018 rule changes had intended effects NCAA Division 1 Conference.Cohort study;...
Previous studies have shown that the in vivo administration of soil-derived bacteria with anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties, such as Mycobacterium vaccae NCTC 11659, can prevent a stress-induced shift toward an inflammatory M1 microglial immunophenotype priming central nervous system (CNS). It remains unclear whether M. 11659 act directly on microglia to mediate these effects. This study was designed determine effects polarization naïve BV-2 cells, murine cell line, cells...
