Neuromuscular Coordination

Latar Belakang. Anak yang menderita cerebral palsi pada umumnya mempunyai keluhan ketidakmampuan dalam pengontrolan saliva dalam rongga mulutnya. Pada kondisi tersebut penderita mengalami ketidaknormalan dalam koordinasi neuromuscular pada lidah, bibir dan pipinya, sehingga hal tersebut dapat menyebabkan drooling. Kebiasaan buruk menggigit-gigit bibir bawah yang terjadi pada anak ini menimbulkan problem inkompetensi bibir. Pendekatan perawatan myofungsional dapat meningkatkan torus otot bibir dan lidah, dan sebisa mungkin menahan posisi lidah tetap di dalam mulut dengan suatu hal yang dinamakan lip bumper. Tujuan laporan kasus ini adalah untuk melaporkan bahwa pemakaian alat lip bumper dapat mengurangi drooling, inkompetensi bibir dan kebiasaan menggigit-gigit bibir bawah pada anak cerebral palsi. Kasus. Seorang anak laki-laki siswa SLB 1 Bantul dengan kelainan cerebral palsi dilakukan pemeriksaan rutin kesehatan gigi. Tampak gigi protusif dengan bibir inkompetensi. Setelah wawancara dengan pengasuh, anak tersebut mempunyai drooling yang berlebihan dan sering menggigit-gigit bibir bawah. Perawatan yang dipilih adalah menggunakan alat removabel lip bumper. Lip bumper dipakai pada siang hari selama 2 jam dan malam hari pada waktu tidur. Kesimpulan. Setelah 3 bulan terjadi pengurangan drooling, kebiasaan menggigit-gigit bibirnya hilang dan inkompetensi bibir berkurang. Background. Children with cerebral palsy generally have a complaint inability to control saliva in the oral cavity. In these conditions the patient has an abnormality in neuromuscular coordination of the tongue, lips and cheeks, where it can cause drooling. Myofungsional treatment approaches can improve muscle tone lips and tongue, and as much as possible to hold the position of the tongue remains in the mouth with a tool called a lip bumper. Purpose. The purpose of this case report is to report that the use of lip bumper can reduce drooling, incompetency lips and biting his lower lip in child’s cerebral palsy. Case. A young male student SLB 1 Bantul with abnormalities of cerebral palsy do routine dental examination. He has lip incompetence and protusif. After the interview with the caregiver, the child has excessive drooling and often lower lip biting. The selected treatment is to use a lip bumper. Lip bumper used during the day for 2 hours and at night at bedtime. Conclusion. After 3 months of a reduction of drooling, lip biting missing and reduce of incompetency lips.

And Performance

Purpose:To verify whether relative age effects (RAEs) occur among young male and female Swiss Alpine skiers of different age groups and performance levels. In addition, the efficacy of normalizing performance in physical tests to height and body mass to attenuate RAEs eventually present was tested.Methods:The Swiss Ski Power Test consists of anthropometric measures and physical tests for coordination and speed, endurance, and strength and has been used since 2004 to evaluate 11- to 19-y-old Swiss competitive Alpine skiers. The authors analyzed the distribution of 6996 tests performed by 1438 male and 1031 female Alpine skiers between 2004 and 2011 according to the athletes’ respective relative age quartiles. Differences in anthropometric measures and performance in physical tests according to quartile were assessed, and the possibility of attenuating eventual RAEs on performance by normalization of results to height and body mass was tested.Results:RAEs were found among all female and male age groups, with no differences between age groups. While performance level did not affect RAE for male skiers, it influenced RAE among female skiers. RAEs also influenced results in all physical tests except upper-limb strength. Normalization of results to body mass attenuated most RAEs identified.Conclusion:Small RAEs are present among young Swiss competitive Alpine skiers and should be taken into account in training and selection settings to prevent the waste of possible future talents. When ranking junior athletes according to their performance in physical tests, normalization of results to body mass decreases the bias caused by RAEs.

Abstract. Some studies have reported inaccuracy of predicting basal metabolic rate (BMR) by using common equations for Asian people. Thus, this study was undertaken to develop new predictive equations for the Iranian community and also to compare their accuracy with the commonly used formulas. Anthropometric measures and thyroid function were evaluated for 267 healthy subjects (18–60 y). Indirect calorimetry (InCal) was performed only for those participants with normal thyroid function tests (n = 252). Comparison of predicted RMR (both kcal/d and kcal.kg.wt−1.d−1) using current predictive formulas and measured RMR revealed that Harris-Benedict and FAO/WHO/UNU significantly over-estimated and Mifflin-St. Jeor significantly under-estimated RMR as compared to InCal measurements. In stepwise regression analysis for developing new equations, the highest r2 (=0.89) was from a model comprising sex, height and weight. However, further analyses revealed that unlike the subjects under 30 y, the association between age and the measured RMR in subjects 30 y and plus was negative (r = −0.241, p = 0.001). As a result, two separate equations were developed for these two age groups. Over 80 percent of variations were covered by the new equations. In conclusion, there were statistical significant under- and over-estimation of RMR using common predictive equations in our subjects. Using the new equations, the accuracy of the calculated RMR increased remarkably.

Incidence Prevalence

Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of death and hospitalization in developed countries. Most of the information about HF is based on selected cohorts, the real epidemiology of HF is scarce. Purpose To assess trends in the real world incidence, prevalence and mortality of all in-and outpatients with HF who presented in public health system in 2009–2018 in Poland. Methods It is a retrospective analysis of 1,990,162 patients who presented with HF in Poland in years 2009–2018. It is a part of nationwide Polish Ministry of Health registry that collects detailed information for the entire Polish population (38,495,659 in 2013) since 2009. Detailed data within the registry were collected since 2013. HF was recorded if HF diagnosis was coded (ICD-10). Results The incidence of HF in Poland fell down from 2013 to reach 127,036 newly diagnosed cases (330 per 100,000 population) in 2018 that equals to 43.6% drop. This decrease was mainly driven by marked reduction in females (p<0.001; Fig. 1A) and HF of ischaemic etiology (HF-IE vs HF-nonIE, Fig. 1B. p<0.001). The HF incidence per 100,000 population decreased across all age groups with the greatest drop in the youngest (Table 1). The prevalence rose by 11.6% to reach 1,242,129 (3233 per 100,000 population) in 2018 with significantly greater increase in females and HF-IE (both p<0.0001, Fig. 1C and D, respectively). The HF prevalence per 100,000 population increased across all age groups except for the 70–79 years old. (Table 1). Mortality increased by 28.5% to reach 142,379 cases (370 per 100,000 population) in 2018. The rise was more pronounced among females (p=0.015, Fig. 1E) and in HF-IE (p<0.001, Fig. 1F). The HF mortality per 100 000 population increased across all age groups, except for the 50–59 subgroup (Table 1). Conclusions Heart failure incidence plummeted in years 2013–2018 in Poland due to drop in newly diagnosed HF-IE. Despite that fact, the prevalence and mortality increased with rising trends in HF-IE.

This qualitative study explores the perspectives and experiences of Black male student-athletes with particular focus on their interactions with school counselors. It draws on nine participants selected through purposive and snowball sampling techniques. The Black male participants were current or former student-athletes at the high school and Division I levels. We developed and analyzed the semistructured interview questions through the lens of critical race theory. Using deductive data analysis techniques, we identified key factors that appear to shape interactions between Black male student-athletes and school counselors, including the perception of the school counselor role, a village of support, and prior experiences with school counselors. The results of this study have implications for school counselor practice, policy, and research.
