Purpose This study compares the frequency and severity of head impacts sustained by football players on days with without diagnosed concussion to identify sensitivity specificity single-impact measures injury. Methods One thousand two hundred eight from collegiate teams six high school wore instrumented helmets measure during all team sessions, which 95 were concussion. Eight injuries one three, providing 105 injury cases. Measures kinematics (peak linear rotational acceleration, Gadd index,...
To investigate whether cartilage degeneration is prevented or minimized following intraarticular injections of lubricin derived from human synoviocytes in culture, recombinant PRG4 (rhPRG4), synovial fluid (SF) a rat model anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Unilateral ACL transection (ACLT) was performed Lewis rats (n = 45). Nine animals were left untreated. The remaining given (50 microl/injection) either phosphate buffered saline (PBS) 9), synoviocyte (200 microg/ml; n rhPRG4 SF 9)...
Context: The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a popular test to evaluate the degree of painful, dysfunctional, and asymmetric movement patterns. Despite great interest in FMS, test-retest reliability data have not been published. Objective: To assess interrater FMS compare scoring by 1 rater during live session same on video. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Human performance laboratory sports medicine center. Patients or Other Participants: A total 21 female (age = 19.6 ± 1.5...
Concussions are commonly undiagnosed in an athletic environment because the postinjury signs and symptoms may be mild, masked by subject, or unrecognized. This study compares measures of head impact frequency, location, kinematic response before cases immediate delayed concussion diagnosis. Football players from eight collegiate six high school teams wore instrumented helmets during play (n = 1208), which 95 were diagnosed with (105 total cases). Acceleration data recorded reduced to five...
Abstract Accumulation of head impacts may contribute to acute and long-term brain trauma. Wearable sensors can measure impact exposure, yet current do not have validated detection methods for accurate exposure monitoring. Here we demonstrate a method that be implemented on wearable sensor detecting field football impacts. Our incorporates support vector machine classifier uses biomechanical features from the time domain frequency domain, as well model predictions head-neck motions. The was...
Rapid systemic injection of naked plasmid DNA (pDNA) in a large volume into mouse tail vein has been shown to result high level gene expression the liver. However, potential therapeutic benefit humans embodied hydrodynamic transfection liver cannot be realized until clinically viable method for delivery is developed. In light this fact, we have devised and evaluated several methods delivering pDNA isolated rabbit using minimally invasive catheter-based techniques. Using lobar technique, was...
Abstract Objective To investigate whether cartilage degeneration is prevented or minimized in a rat model of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury following single dose‐escalated intraarticular injection lubricin derived from human synoviocytes culture. Methods Unilateral ACL transection (ACLT) the right hind limb was performed Lewis rats (n = 56). Control animals underwent capsulotomy alone, leaving intact 11). Intraarticular injections (50 μl/injection) phosphate buffered saline (PBS; n...
Previous research has sought to quantify head impact exposure using wearable kinematic sensors. However, many sensors suffer from poor accuracy in estimating kinematics and count, motivating the need for additional independent quantification comparison. Here, we equipped seven collegiate American football players with instrumented mouthguards, video recorded practices games compare video-based sensor-based rates location distributions. Over 50 player-hours, identified 271 helmet contact...
Background and Aims The concentration of free trans-resveratrol in wine is expected to increase with storage because hydrolysis piceid (a bound form resveratrol). This study measured resveratrol 16 Australasian red wines ranging from 1 6 years old, both initially after a period months under ambient conditions. Methods Results During the period, decreased by an average 76%. decay was first order over tested range source vintage, mean bottle-storage half-life 8 (±1 SD) months. Decay rate...
Background A screening test evaluates a functional movement by assessing an athlete's limitations, weaknesses, or impairments that may increase the risk of injury for athlete. Objective To assess inter-rater reliability and subject variability Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to analyze use video scoring as opposed live scoring. Design study. Each athlete was tested retested, 1 week apart same rater, who also scored first session from recording. These recordings were then five other raters....
The aim of this study was to determine if consecutive periods attacking superiority, as determined by a developed Team Attacking Superiority (TAS) scoring system, could predict try in Super 14 rugby. Game data from 9 games where the Crusaders, Force and Lions played each other 2006, 2007 2008 competition seasons were analysed. A Player Impact Ranking matrix, an earlier (Lim et al., 2009), modified create (TIR) matrix. TIR then used calculate TAS scores assess dominance team. Results showed...
Objective: Evaluate the rate of concussions across Big 12 Conference football programs based on (1) equipment worn, (2) contact level, (3) preseason practice versus in-season games, and (4) mechanism injury for concussion. Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Setting: practices competitions. Patients (or Participants): teams. Assessment Risk Factors: All institutions collected data types, game participation, during fall, preseasons regular seasons, from 2013 to 2016. Main Outcome...
In this paper, I try to make sense of the possibility several forms voluntarily undertaken “sexual obligation.” The claim that there can be sexual obligations is liable generate worries with respect concerns for gender justice, freedom, and autonomy, especially if such arise in a context unjust background conditions. This paper takes seriously but holds that, despite circumstances, some practices give rise ethical actually ameliorate problems caused by Similarly, surface appearance...
During a recent trip by road from Greece to Afghanistan, the senior author and his wife made number of brief collecting stops along way in Iran.They passed through country first at end June early July, on again during part September
The availability of imagery simultaneously collected from sensors disparate modalities enhances an image analyst's situational awareness and expands the overall detection capability to a larger array target classes. Dynamic cooperation between is increasingly important for collection coincident data multiple either on same or different platforms suitable UAV deployment. Of particular interest autonomous collaboration wide area survey detection, high-resolution inspection, RF that span large...

It is difficult for an alcoholic individual to maintain sobriety without a place live. Alcohol-free living centers provide low-rent, alcohol-free environment homeless people recovering from alcoholism. In this article, the authors describe such center in Portland, Oregon and its effectiveness. Two general predictions guided study: (1) clients would use fewer sobering amd detoxification services after leaving than before entering treatment (2) who left through successful termination those...
The Australian blueberry industry is worth over $300 million, but there limited information on factors influencing their chemical composition, particularly ripeness and harvest stage. This pilot study investigated changes in total monomeric anthocyanin content (TMAC; measured using the pH-differential method) antioxidant capacity (TAC; with cupric reducing assay) of four highbush cultivars (Denise, Blue Rose, Brigitta Bluecrop) at time points three maturity stages (unripe, moderately ripe...
