Mashup Score: 78Effective fall prevention exercise in residential aged care: an intervention component analysis from an updated systematic review - 1 day(s) ago
Objective The effect of fall prevention exercise programmes in residential aged care (RAC) is uncertain. This paper reports on an intervention component analysis (ICA) of randomised controlled trials (RCTs), from an update of a Cochrane review, to develop a theory of features of successful fall prevention exercise in RAC. Methods Trial characteristics were extracted from RCTs testing exercise interventions in RAC identified from an update of a Cochrane review to December 2022 (n=32). Eligible trials included RCTs or cluster RCTs in RAC, focusing on participants aged 65 or older, assessing fall outcomes with stand-alone exercise interventions. ICA was conducted on trials with >30 participants per treatment arm compared with control (n=17). Two authors coded trialists’ perceptions on intervention features that may have contributed to the observed effect on falls. Inductive thematic analysis was used to identify the key differences between the trials which might account for positive and n

During a basketball game, I was hit on the inside of my left knee by an offensive player, resulting in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and a dislocation of my patella. To recover as quickly as possible, I went to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University for an arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery. After going through months of rehabilitation, my knee was finally back to a level that allowed me to resume all my activities. As an ordinary person from a small town, this experience deeply made me appreciate the nobility and sanctity of medicine. Since then, I have been determined to become a doctor. Through hard work and dedication, I have successfully enrolled in the Jiangxi Medical College at Nanchang University. After the injury, I was swiftly transported to the local county hospital. Given my young age, the physician recommended a non-surgical treatment approach, encompassing functional knee bracing and activity modification.1 However, after 2 weeks of this t

Objectives To evaluate the prevalence of abnormal ECG findings and their association with imaging results in male Brazilian football players. Methods The ‘B-Pro Foot ECG’ is a multicentre observational study conducted in 82 Brazilian professional clubs. It analysed 6125 players aged 15–35 years (2496 white, 2004 mixed-race and 1625 black individuals) who underwent cardiovascular screening from 2002 to 2023. All ECGs were reviewed by two experienced cardiologists in the athlete’s care. Those with abnormal findings underwent further investigations, including a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was subsequently performed based on TTE findings or clinical suspicion. Results In total, 180 (3%) players had abnormal ECGs and 176 (98%) showed normal TTE results. Athletes aged 26–35 years had a higher prevalence of abnormal ECGs than younger athletes (15–25 years). Black players had a higher prevalence of T-wave inversion (TWI) in the inferior leads than white

Objectives To determine if physiotherapists can deliver a clinically effective very low energy diet (VLED) supplementary to exercise in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and overweight or obesity. Methods 88 participants with knee OA and body mass index (BMI) >27 kg/m2 were randomised to either intervention (n=42: VLED including two daily meal replacement products supplementary to control) or control (n=46: exercise). Both interventions were delivered by unblinded physiotherapists via six videoconference sessions over 6 months. The primary outcome was the percentage change in body weight at 6 months, measured by a blinded assessor. Secondary outcomes included BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, self-reported measures of pain, function, satisfaction and perceived global change, and physical performance tests. Results The intervention group lost a mean (SD) of 8.1% (5.2) body weight compared with 1.0% (3.2) in the control group (mean (95% CI) between-group difference 7.2% (9

Objectives The objective was to investigate the benefits of the ‘weekend warrior’ physical activity pattern in Latin America, where many people take part in high levels of non-exercise physical activity. Methods Participants in the Mexico City Prospective Study were surveyed from 1998 to 2004 and resurveyed from 2015 to 2019. Those who exercised up to once or twice per week were termed weekend warriors. Those who exercised more often were termed regularly active. Analyses were adjusted for potential confounders. Results The main analysis included 26 006 deaths in 154 882 adults (67% female) aged 52±13 years followed for 18±4 years (mean±SD). Compared with those who reported no exercise, the HR (95% CI) was 0.88 (0.83 to 0.93) in the weekend warriors and 0.88 (0.84 to 0.91) in the regularly active. Similar results were observed for cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality, but associations were weaker. Stratified analyses showed that substantial reductions in all-cause mortality risk
