The purpose of this study was to examine the standing height of adolescents from district of Peja western region of Kosovo, as well relationship between the length of the hand and standing height from both gender adolescents. A total measured subject participated in this research was 457 students from high school graduates (232 boys and 225 girls) girls average of age is 18.21 ± 0.41 years old [range 18-20 years] and for boys 18.26 ± 0.46 years old (range 18-20 years). Measurements of standing height and the length of the hand were performed with reference to the ISAK protocol. The results for standing height and length of the hand were analyzed by means of the arithmetic mean (SD) and a simple correlation coefficient, while T-test analysis was used for differences between the two genders and linear regressive analysis assessed standing height based on length of hand measurements. The results obtained in this paper have shown that standing height can be estimated from the length of the hand, which reliably predicts standing height for both genders.

The pandemic of sports-related traumatic brain injury and the associated development of chronic traumatic encephalopathy has prompted an interest within the medical community in the role of the endocannabinoid system and the use of Cannabidiol (CBD) to reduce acute and chronic cerebral inflammation among athletes. The purpose of this medical research review is to examine sportsrelated traumatic brain injury and the preventative and therapeutic use of cannabidiol among athletes. Given the high morbidity and mortality rate associated with postconcussion syndrome and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and the critical role of the endocannabinoid system in health maintenance and cerebral injury recovery, examination of the administration of Cannabidiol (CBD) is warranted.

Background: Anterior knee pain accounts for 25-40% of knee pain visits in sports medicine clinics. Refractory Patellofemoral Syndrome (RPS) and Chronic Patella Dislocations are often multifactorial but commonly the pain originates from impaired patellar tracking and increased lateral patellar tilt. The compression of the subchondral bone has been correlated to the pain as well as from the synovium, retinaculum, and associated neuromuscular structures. The plication of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) counteracts these compressive and tilting forces improving symptoms of RPS and recurrent patella dislocations. The goal of this project was to evaluate the outcomes associated with MPFL plication. Study Design: Case Series; Level IV Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with recurrent patella dislocations, Refractory Patellofemoral Syndrome (RPS) or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) treated with plication of the MPFL between 2009 2018 with minimum four month follow up. The primary outcome variable was patient overall satisfaction, Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (VAS) and Kujala (Anterior Knee Pain) Score. Results: Seven patients met the inclusion criteria. Their demographic and pre-surgery details are in Table 1. A large majority of patients (85.7%) were satisfied, and VAS pain scale ratings were four or less. Only one of the seven patients was not satisfied (Table 2), and that individual also had the lowest Kujala score. The VAS pain scale and the Kujala score were not correlated (Spearman rank correlation, rho=-0.218, P=0.638; Figure 1), nor was there a clear relationship between time since surgery and Kujala score (rho=0.607, P=0.167; Figure 2). Conclusion: Plication of the MPFL has a high success in improving both Kujala (Anterior Knee Pain) Score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) as well as return to regular activities. We believe this is a safe and effective technique in improving chronic patella dislocations and Refractory Patellofemoral Syndrome with minimal perioperative morbidity. Introduction Patella Instability/ Patella Dislocation Patella instability and dislocation are not covered under the umbrella of RPS or PFPS, however it can be a source of anterior knee pain, especially in younger female patients ages 10-17 [1]. The average incidence of primary patellar dislocation is roughly 5.8 per 100,000 cases [1]. Causes of patella instability/subluxation and dislocation include trauma, general lateral ligamentous laxity, Citation: Hoang V, Moyer B, Talle M, Vanier C, Watson T, Bascharon, R, Lee, D, Liu, N (2019) Plication of The Medial Patellofemoral Ligament for The Treatment of Chronic Patella Dislocations and Refractory Patellofemoral Syndrome.

Beach handball is a team sport, similar to team handball, played on sand. Despite the growing popularity of the sport, there is a lack of scientific studies on injuries in beach handball. The aim of the present study, was to compare the findings from two tournaments of European Beach Tour (EBT), in order to identify injury rates and patterns in this sport. One hundred and twenty-two athletes (50 men and 72 women) in 2014 and 121 athletes (60 men and 61 women) in 2016 replied to a self-reported anonymous questionnaire concerning their injuries while playing beach handball. The overall incidence was 9.7 injuries/1000h of game exposure, and 3.1 injuries/1000h of training. Injuries occurred more often during games (63.6%). Ligament injuries were the most common type of injuries (45.2%), followed by muscle injuries (36.5%). Most injuries occurred in the lower limb (51.5%), while 37.9% occurred in the upper limb. Collision with the opponent was the most common mechanism of injury (44.8%). Female athletes had a higher probability of injuries of small severity (0-1 weeks RtP) than male athletes . Comparison between the two competitions revealed an overall decrease in the injury rate in a statistically significant degree in both genders ( for males, for females). Larger epidemiologic studies will provide us with further information on the injury characteristics of beach handball.

We investigated long-term changes in the morphological and contractile properties of the gastrocnemius muscle in a rat Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear model. The experimental animals were 8-week-old male Wistar rats in which the right ACL was transected. The gastrocnemius muscle in the affected limb and the same muscle in the contralateral limb were harvested 4 and 48 weeks after ACL transection. We created serial frozen sections of the tissues and performed immunohistochemical staining. In results, at 4 weeks, the muscle wet weight-to-body weight ratio and the Cross-Sectional Area (CSA) of type I and IIb muscle fiber in the deep portion of the muscle were both significantly smaller on the transection-affected side than on the contralateral side (p < 0.05, respectively). In addition, at 48 weeks, the CSA of type I muscle fibers in the deep portion was significantly smaller on the affected side than on the contralateral side (p < 0.05). We surmise that the changes were due mainly to modulation of muscle activity as a result of physical joint instability and functional failure of proprioception, which both occurred as a result of the ACL transection. We showed that these morphological changes may persist over the long term, particularly in the case of type I fibers. Results of this study suggest that long-term rehabilitation for not only the thigh but also the leg is necessary when ACL injuries are encountered clinically.

Objective: To study the mortality of tuberculosis patients with diabetes, compared to tuberculosis patients without diabetes. Design: We searched papers, including the prospective studies and retrospective studies from 1998 to 2009. All papers must relate to the studies of the mortality of tuberculosis patients with diabetes or without diabetes. Data sources: We electronically searched the register of the mortality, tuberculosis, and diabetes group from several journals. Selection of studies: More than 1000 articles we searched, including prospective studies and retrospectives studies. Only 21 papers are related to our subject. After fully screen the data of these papers, 14 papers are completely fit the conditions of our requirements. Main outcome measures: We meta-analysis the odds ratio of mortality of DMTB patients, compare to TB patients without DM. We selected random affects model to show the results of odds ratio. Results: This study shows significantly higher mortality in DMTB group. The entire odds ratio is 2.18. 95% CI= [1.50, 3.16], Z=4.09 (p<0.0001), I2=63.0% (Figure 1). Conclusion: Diabetes is one of the risk effects to the tuberculosis patients. Patients who got tuberculosis with diabetes have significantly higher mortality than tuberculosis patients without diabetes. To take care of tuberculosis patients with diabetes is much more critical.

Pregnancy is associated with significant physical and psychological changes for expectant mothers, which have many effects on their fitness and physical performance. However, the benefits of regular training outweigh the risks and reduce the likelihood of suffering from pregnancy-induced diseases. Physical activity during pregnancy causes many positive effects. Reduced risk of premature birth, caesarean section and also a positive influence on the risk of gestational hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, excessive weight gain are among those positive effects. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends in its guidelines a regular physical activity of about thirty minutes on most days of the week. An energy consumption of 28 MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) per week should be aimed for Especially sports such as jogging, cycling and swimming are suitable. Moreover, strength training with free weights and weight machines can be recommended. Sports with a high risk of injury and body contact are not suitable and should be avoid. With the beginning of their second trimester, it is recommended that even un-athletic women start light physical activity. The intensity should be controlled via the heart rate reserve or with a simple scale such as the Borg scale. Physical activity can be continued throughout the pregnancy and re-intensified four weeks after delivery. On this occasion, an increased attention should be paid to the training of the pelvic floor and the abdominal muscles.

Objective: To establish a “Case Management Practice Standard for Perioperative Patients of Lung Cancer” by collecting subjective experiences and needs of patients. Methods: Pre-selected 100 lung cancer patients around the stage, by knowing their different periods of subjective experience and needs, propose appropriate interventions to improve the existing case management program. In the later period, another 100 patients were selected, and the improved program was applied to clinical practice. Finally, compare the subjective experience and needs of the two groups of patients, as well as whether there is a difference in the satisfaction of nursing services. Result: Were compared in patients undergoing surgery at different times of the subjective experience and needs, the differences were statistically significant (P <0 05.); Care satisfaction scores, the differences were statistically significant (P <0 05.). Conclusion: By collecting the subjective experience and needs of perioperative patients with lung cancer, the existing case management plan is continuously improved, and the “Case Management Practice Standard for Perioperative Patients of Lung Cancer” is finally formed for clinical use.

When neovascularization is present in chronic tendinosis, sclerotherapy may be useful. This study’s objective was to evaluate the shortand long-term clinical efficacy of sclerotherapy and estimate the evolution of Achilles and patellar tendinosis among athletes using ultrasound. All the patients who underwent sclerotherapy in our department from 2008 to 2017 were reevaluated. Twelve patients met these inclusion criteria (15 tendons, 32 ± 21 years old, training 8.8 ± 12 h/week, symptom duration 38 ± 37.8 months). At week six, there was a significant mean reduction in exercise pain (visual analogue scale: from 7.7 ± 1.8 to 3.2 ± 2.3, p = 0.0001) with a resumption of sports by 12/15 patients, 6 at their previous level. At the long-term follow-up (45.5 ± 31 months), 12/15 had a clinically relevant decrease in exercise pain, with 6 partially resuming sports and 4 more resuming at their previous level (two with sclerotherapy alone). Vascularization scores objectivized by ultrasound decreased significantly from 3.38 ± 0.51 to 2.31 ± 1.23 (p < 0.001). Vessels only disappeared in 4/12 tendons, allowing 3 athletes to resume sports at their previous level. In conclusion, sclerotherapy appears to induce good short-term effects on pain and function. Long-term clinical effect is less obvious. Total disappearance of new vessels seems to be associated with a higher resumption of sports.

Soccer is the most popular sport worldwide and is known to be correlated to high risk of of injuries, which negatively influence the performance of the single player and team: higher positions in league or cup standings are achieved by clubs with injury-prevention programs. Prevention is fundamental for athletes allowing them to play at the highest level in complete safety: however, only a few studies reported the effectiveness of preventive programs especially in young players. The aim of this study is twofold: firstly, reporting season injuries in young professional footballers and assessing their risk factors; secondly, demonstrating how a specific prevention program reduce injuries incidence. 32 professional footballers («Primavera» under-19 Italian league 2014/2015) were included and compared with the previous season («Allievi» under-17 Italian league 2013/2014) because of 95% of the team was formed by the same players. An injury-prevention program was introduced: core training, active warm-up, static stretching and cryotherapy were inserted into a program of football technical, tactical and physical exercises, co-operated by technical and medical staff. For each injury we collected: type, days of absence, severity, body segment, match or training features, pathogenesis, recurrence, therapy. Therefore, incidence, burden injury and availability were calculated. Analysis was made by MedCalc® (P-value <0,05). We collected 45 injuries: 5 contusions, 9 overexertion-related disorders, 10 sprains, 6 tendonitis, 8 muscle tears, 1 knee ligament strain, 5 bone fractures and 1 skin wound. Injuries mostly occurred during training (60.00%) than matches (33.33%) and 3 extra-soccer activities (6.67%). Incidence was 5,6/1000hs, burden injury of 72.92 days of absence/1000hs and average availibility 87%. Prevention program was significantly effective: injuries were similar (46 vs 45) in the two consecutive seasons even though a doubled-time sport performance (3847.40hs vs 8050.18) (p=0.01). Injuries prevention is relevant for footballers. Our proposals resulted very effective, decreasing predictable injuries.
足球是世界上最受欢迎的运动，众所周知，它与受伤的高风险有关，这对单个球员和团队的表现产生了负面影响:在联赛或杯赛上排名较高的俱乐部都有伤害预防计划。预防是运动员在完全安全的情况下发挥最高水平的基础:然而，只有少数研究报告了预防计划的有效性，特别是在年轻球员中。本研究的目的是双重的:首先，报告赛季受伤的年轻职业足球运动员和评估他们的危险因素;其次，展示具体的预防方案如何减少伤害发生率。32名职业足球运动员(«Primavera»u19意大利联赛2014/2015)被包括在内，并与上一个赛季(«Allievi»u17意大利联赛2013/2014)进行比较，因为95%的球队由相同的球员组成。在足球技战术和体能训练项目中加入核心训练、主动热身、静态拉伸和冷冻疗法，由技术人员和医务人员配合进行损伤预防。对于我们收集的每一个损伤:类型、缺勤天数、严重程度、身体部位、比赛或训练特征、发病机制、复发、治疗。因此，计算了发病率、负担伤害和可得性。采用MedCalc®进行分析(p值< 0.05)。我们收集了45例损伤:5例挫伤，9例过度劳累相关疾病，10例扭伤，6例肌腱炎，8例肌肉撕裂，1例膝关节韧带拉伤，5例骨折和1例皮肤损伤。损伤主要发生在训练中(60.00%)，其次是比赛(33.33%)和3次课外活动(6.67%)。发病率为5.6 /1000hs，负伤率为72.92天/1000hs，平均利用率为87%。预防方案显著有效:连续两个赛季，即使运动时间增加一倍(3847.40h vs 8050.18 h)，受伤情况相似(46 vs 45) (p=0.01)。预防伤病与足球运动员息息相关。我们的建议非常有效，减少了可预见的伤害。
