A computerized pressure plate system was used to analyze the sitting distribution and balance of 100 subjects with both normal abnormal spines. Normal had a balanced posture weight taken evenly on each ischial tuberosity. Patients idiopathic scoliosis showed significant imbalance especially in presence lumbar curves. Bracing improved stability most patients. Abnormal patterns were seen spinal deformities myelodysplasia or cerebral palsy. Some patients severe very asymmetric patterns, which...
Physical activity (PA) interventions are an important but underutilised component in the management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The challenge remains how to deliver cost effective PA that have impact on individual behaviour. Digital technologies can support and promote remotely at scale. We describe development a behaviourally informed smartphone application (Stay-Active) for women attending NHS GDM clinic. Stay-Active will existing motivational interviewing intervention increase...
Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) interventions have an encouraging role in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) management. Digital technologies can potentially be used at scale to support PA. The aim of this study was assess the feasibility and acceptability + Stay-Active: a complex intervention which combines motivational interviewing with smartphone application promote PA levels women GDM. Methods This non-randomised mixed methods approach. Participants were recruited from GDM...
This report discusses a rare case of 55‐year‐old female triathlete who developed recurrent episodes swimming‐induced pulmonary edema ( SIPE ). She had two hospital admissions with after developing breathlessness while swimming, including near‐drowning experience in an open water swim. With increasing popularity triathlon and sports, this highlights the importance greater awareness among health professionals, event organizers, athletes. explores previous reported cases triathletes those have...
Regular physical activity improves glycaemic control in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. Motivational interviewing is an effective technique for increasing levels. This report evaluates a clinical pathway developed to integrate motivational into routine diabetes care. Women attending single-centre NHS clinic were invited engage activity-focused interview. The aerobic levels of 62 evaluated at baseline and 2-week telephone follow up, coded three categories by minutes moderate...
Background Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE) is life-threatening condition that can affect healthy triathletes. There have been several reported cases amongst triathletes, however the current estimation of incidence derived from a survey triathletes with self-reported symptoms suggestive SIPE. Objective To investigate SIPE and associated risk factors in mass participation Triathlon Competitions (TC). Design A retrospective analysis Competitors' Medical Records (CMR). Setting 11...
Background Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a potentially life-threatening condition to the endurance athlete. Early recognition and rapid on-site treatment with aggressive cooling measures significantly reduces mortality, improves outcome avoids hospital transfers. Objective Determine incidence of EHS in triathlon competition. Design A retrospective analysis competitor medical records. Setting Data was collected across two UK-based triathlons over six years (11 consecutive triathlons)....
To evaluate the incidence of undiagnosed celiac disease (CD) in patients presenting with bone stress injuries (BSI) to a NHS Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) clinic.Retrospective cohort study.Single tertiary-level SEM clinic.One hundred consecutive radiologically proven BSIs.Laboratory blood tests (LBT) can unmask underlying metabolic disorders. Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (TTG) testing has high sensitivity specificity for CD. In this clinic, clinicians were encouraged perform LBT...
Introduction Physical activity (PA) interventions have a promising role in the management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Digital technologies can support PA at scale and remotely. The protocol describes study designed to determine feasibility acceptability complex intervention; known as +Stay Active. Active combines motivational interviewing with bespoke behaviour change informed smartphone application (Stay-Active) augment levels women GDM. Methods analysis This is non-randomised...

Background Triathlon is an increasingly popular mass-participation endurance sport which incorporates swimming, cycling and running stages over a variety of distances. Overuse injuries during triathlon training are common (Zwingenberger et al . 2014; Korkia 1994) however the incidence illness injury races less well described. A clear understanding this data valuable in planning medical care for races. Objective To describe epidemiology UK. Design Retrospective analysis competitors' records...
