Mashup Score: 245Infographic. All health professionals should talk about physical activity with patients - 28 day(s) ago
Regular physical activity contributes to the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer, as well as improved mental health, sleep and cognitive function.1 Despite these benefits, populations worldwide are insufficiently active.2 Enabling people with the lowest levels of physical activity to become more active is where the greatest gains to public health will be achieved.3 Researchers, practitioners and policymakers are increasingly advocating for a systems approach to physical activity promotion. This should involve stakeholders across diverse sectors to develop and implement a coherent set of …

Muscle injuries are the most common type of injury in elite male football and constitute to about a third of total time loss.1 Hamstring injuries are on the rise and now account for nearly one in every four injuries.2 Most muscle injuries in football have short lay-off times (within 4 weeks), while 11% are severe (absence >28 days).1 These severe injuries are the most challenging ones to treat and are associated with a high risk of reinjury.1 A comprehensive description of the injury epidemiology and injury mechanisms and situational patterns using video analysis can support the design …

The physical and psychological changes in the postpartum athlete directly impact their ability to return to sport post partum. Understanding the unique challenges and considerations surrounding the postpartum endurance athlete is essential to optimise health outcomes for both the athlete and the newborn. Key features are included in figure 1 and discussed below. Figure 1 Illustrates key aspects of health in postpartum endurance athletes. Return to athletic training, changes in body composition and/or becoming a mother may influence mental health. Postpartum depression (PPD) affects 20% of women within 12 months post partum, is associated with urge urinary incontinence and increases risk for future episodes of depression.1 PPD, anxiety, psychosis and other mental health conditions are of concern but unknown in prevalence within postpartum athletes.2 Eating disorders have been associated with pregnancy complications, increase the risk for developing PPD and contribute to relative energy

Mashup Score: 82Infographic. Ten naked truths about the pelvic floor in athletes - 3 month(s) ago
Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is an umbrella term including a myriad of conditions including urinary and anal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction.1 High-impact sports have been linked with an increased risk of developing PFD. For instance, up to 76% of female volleyball players reported urinary symptoms.2 Despite the widespread occurrence and consequences of PFD, it remains under-reported by athletes.1 2 Misinformation, misperceptions and miseducation about PFD for both clinicians and athletes can adversely impact an athlete’s health, care, training and performance.2 3 We aimed to summarise 10 evidence-based truths regarding the athlete’s …

Mashup Score: 7Prophylactic Antibiotics to Prevent Cholangitis in Children ... : Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition - 5 month(s) ago
tic antibiotics in reducing the risk of cholangitis following the Kasai HPE procedure. Methods: Meta-analysis is performed using random-effects model from the search result of 5 online databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCO MEDLINE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and EuropePMC) from inception to October 27, 2021. The keywords used were “antibiotic,” “antimicrobial,” “Kasai,” “portoenterostomy,” “biliary atresia,” and “bile duct atresia.” Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale is used to assess the risk of bias. The outcomes are incidence of cholangitis and native liver survival. Results: Six studies consisting of 4 cohorts and 2 cross-sectional studies were extracted. A total of 714 patients reported different cholangitis incidence after prophylactic antibiotics administration post-Kasai HPE. The incidence of cholangitis following Kasai HPE was not statistically significant among participants. There is conflicting evidence on the efficacy of antibiotics in prolonging native liver

to determine who these patients are. Methods: At Children’s Wisconsin, our gastroenterology and hematology divisions adapted an abbreviated version of a validated, history-based bleeding risk screening tool and implemented a hematology referral process to identify those at risk for bleeding prior to their first endoscopy. Provider compliance with the bleeding screen, referral to hematology, time to be seen in hematology clinic, new diagnoses of bleeding disorders, and bleeding complications were assessed from 2019 to 2021 across 3 phases. Results: Provider compliance with the bleeding screen improved throughout our study from 48% (120/251) to 75% (189/253). For those who screened positive, compliance with referral to hematology ranged from 38% to 74% across our phases. The overall time to be seen by hematology decreased from 30 days to 7.5 days. Eighteen patients ultimately screened positive and were seen in hematology clinic, of whom 22% (4/18) were diagnosed with a new bleeding disor

dren and children with gastrointestinal diseases (GIDs) and to examine the relationship between feeding milestones and the appearance of later feeding problems. Methods: A cross-sectional case–control study among 711 healthy Greek children and 119 children with GID, aged 2–7 years. Parents completed the Greek version of the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale and “self-reported” questionnaires assessing child’s feeding history. Results: Differences in feeding behavior of preschoolers between the 2 groups were found concerning the time of introduction of complementary (pureed), lumpy, and table foods as well as finger feeding and regular cup-drinking. Age-specific milestones as proposed by guidelines were not reached. Late introduction of complementary and lumpy foods (>6 months and >9 months, respectively) as well as finger feeding (>9 months) were predictive of more problematic feeding behaviors later on. Conclusions: The trajectory of feeding development, including less st
