Quality appraisal of clinical guidelines for Helicobacter pylori infection and systematic analysis of the level of evidence for recommendations.

To systematically assess the quality of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and identify gaps that limit their development. CPGs for HP infection were systematically collected from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and six online guideline repositories. Three researchers independently used the AGREE Ⅱ tool to evaluate the methodological quality of the eligible CPGs. In addition, the reporting and recommendation qualities were appraised by using the RIGHT and AGREE-REX tools, respectively. The distribution of the level of evidence and strength of recommendation among evidence-based CPGs was determined. A total of 7,019 records were identified, and 24 CPGs met the eligibility criteria. Of the eligible CPGs, 19 were evidence-based and 5 were consensus-based. The mean overall rating score of AGREE II was 50.7% (SD = 17.2%). Among six domains, the highest mean score was for scope and purpose (74.4%, SD = 17.7%) and the lowest mean score was for applicability (24.3%, SD = 8.9). Only three of 24 CPGs were high-quality. The mean overall score of recommendation quality was 35.5% (SD = 12.2%), and the mean scores in each domain of AGREE-REX and RIGHT were all ≤ 60%, with values and preferences scoring the lowest (16.6%, SD = 11.9%). A total of 505 recommendations were identified. Strong recommendations accounted for 64.1%, and only 34.3% of strong recommendations were based on high-quality evidence. The overall quality of CPGs for HP infection is poor, and CPG developers tend to neglect some domains, resulting in a wide variability in the quality of the CPGs. Additionally, CPGs for HP infection lack sufficient high-quality evidence, and the grading of recommendation strength should be based on the quality of evidence. The CPGs for HP infection have much room for improvement and further researches are required to minimize the evidence gap.

3D printed phantom with 12 000 submillimeter lesions to improve efficiency in CT detectability assessment.

The detectability performance of a CT scanner is difficult to precisely quantify when nonlinearities are present in reconstruction. An efficient detectability assessment method that is sensitive to small effects of dose and scanner settings is desirable. We previously proposed a method using a search challenge instrument: a phantom is embedded with hundreds of lesions at random locations, and a model observer is used to detect lesions. Preliminary tests in simulation and a prototype showed promising results. In this work, we fabricated a full-size search challenge phantom with design updates, including changes to lesion size, contrast, and number, and studied our implementation by comparing the lesion detectability from a nonprewhitening (NPW) model observer between different reconstructions at different exposure levels, and by estimating the instrument sensitivity to detect changes in dose. Designed to fit into QRM anthropomorphic phantoms, our search challenge phantom is a cylindrical insert 10cm wide and 4cm thick, embedded with 12 000 lesions (nominal width of 0.6mm, height of 0.8mm, and contrast of -350 HU), and was fabricated using PixelPrint, a 3D printing technique. The insert was scanned alone at a high dose to assess printing accuracy. To evaluate lesion detectability, the insert was placed in a QRM thorax phantom and scanned from 50 to 625 mAs with increments of 25 mAs, once per exposure level, and the average of all exposure levels was used as high-dose reference. Scans were reconstructed with three different settings: filtered-backprojection (FBP) with Br40 and Br59, and Sinogram Affirmed Iterative Reconstruction (SAFIRE) with strength level 5 and Br59 kernel. An NPW model observer was used to search for lesions, and detection performance of different settings were compared using area under the exponential transform of free response ROC curve (AUC). Using propagation of uncertainty, the sensitivity to changes in dose was estimated by the percent change in exposure due to one standard deviation of AUC, measured from 5 repeat scans at 100, 200, 300, and 400 mAs. The printed insert lesions had an average position error of 0.20mm compared to printing reference. As the exposure level increases from 50 mAs to 625 mAs, the lesion detectability AUCs increase from 0.38 to 0.92, 0.42 to 0.98, and 0.41 to 0.97 for FBP Br40, FBP Br59, and SAFIRE Br59, respectively, with a lower rate of increase at higher exposure level. FBP Br59 performed best with AUC 0.01 higher than SAFIRE Br59 on average and 0.07 higher than FBP Br40 (all P<0.001). The standard deviation of AUC was less than 0.006, and the sensitivity to detect changes in mAs was within 2% for FBP Br59. Our 3D-printed search challenge phantom with 12 000 submillimeter lesions, together with an NPW model observer, provide an efficient CT detectability assessment method that is sensitive to subtle effects in reconstruction and is sensitive to small changes in dose.

Stronger together: towards constructive conversations about strength differences, gender, and sex

ABSTRACT The differences in strength development processes and maximum strength levels between cisgender men and women – i.e. the ‘strength gap’ – are considerably fraught topics, with significant implications for our broader understandings of sex and gender. The polarization of exercise science and sociocultural research about the relationships between strength, gender, and sex adds further challenges. As a result of their highly diverging conclusions on the strength gap as well as the general absence of communication between the two fields, it becomes nearly impossible to have meaningful discussions that acknowledge the not-just-biological, not-just-cultural complexities of strength development and maximal strength levels. To aid in connecting these seemingly disparate academic fields, this paper engages a biocultural reading of research on the strength training body. By framing the body as the ever-developing result of inextricably intertwined biological and cultural influences, this critical reading outlines the limitations of our current understandings of strength, illuminates areas of complexity and contradiction, demonstrates shared concepts, and suggests possible topics for boundary-crossing inquiry.

Efficiency of a structured squat-based program in knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation

BACKGROUND: Squat exercise, in which eccentric and concentric contractions are present simultaneously in different muscle groups, is one of the closed kinetic chain exercises commonly used in knee rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE: In the scope of the study, our objective is to determine the effectiveness of a structured squat-based exercise approach in patients with knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: In this study, 75 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to three distinct groups: isoinertial exercise, a combination of home exercise and electrotherapy, and exercise solely. The assessment encompassed the application of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the Time Up and Go test, evaluation of quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength and activation levels, along with pain threshold assessment. The treatment program was administered three days a week over a span of eight weeks and was assessed both prior to and following the intervention. RESULTS: Across all groups, considerable enhancements were noted in the majority of parameters. Particularly noteworthy were the substantial improvements observed in the first group, specifically concerning WOMAC total score (p = 0.001), muscle strength, activation levels (p = 0.001), and pain tolerance (p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In the group in which we applied isoinertial exercise, a positive increase was observed in most of the parameters.We suggest that isoinertial exercise applications, which are generally encountered in sports fields, should be used in different fields in future studies.

Simultaneous Enhancement of Strength and Sulfide Stress Cracking Resistance of Hot-Rolled Pressure Vessel Steel Q345 via a Quenching and Tempering Treatment.

Sulfide stress cracking (SSC) failure is a main concern for the pressure vessel steel Q345 used in harsh sour oil and gas environments containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Methods used to improve the strength of steel usually decrease their SSC resistance. In this work, a quenching and tempering (Q&T) processing method is proposed to provide higher strength combined with better SSC resistance for hot-rolled Q345 pressure vessel steel. Compared to the initial hot-rolled plates having a yield strength (YS) of ~372 MPa, the Q&T counterparts had a YS of ~463 MPa, achieving a remarkable improvement in the strength level. Meanwhile, there was a resulting SSC failure in the initial hot-rolled plates, which was not present in the Q&T counterparts. The SSC failure was not only determined by the strength. The carbon-rich zone, residual stress, and sensitive hardness in the banded structure largely determined the susceptibility to SSC failure. The mechanism of the property amelioration might be ascribed to microstructural modification by the Q&T processing. This work provides an approach to develop improved strength grades of SSC-resistant pressure vessel steels.

Powerlifting participation and engagement across all ages: A retrospective, longitudinal, population analysis with comparison to community strength norms

Background In Australia, one-third of people ≥15 years perform regular resistance training and 90% of those do not meet current health guidelines. All age groups should engage in regular resistance exercise, to maintain strength and function. Objectives To identify trends in powerlifting competition participation in Australia by sex and age group from 1968 to 2022, and to compare the strength of powerlifting competitors to population age- and sex-based normative values. Method The number of unique participants and total competition entries for each year were analysed using Australian powerlifting competition data. Subdomains of age and sex were investigated, and mean ± SD, frequency, range, and trend analyses reported. United Nations age classifications were used to identify age trends. Comparisons to population strength norms were explored descriptively. Results We included 21,514 individual competitors from 1942 powerlifting competitions between 1968 and 2022. Exponential growth was seen in competition entries from 115 in 1981, to 759 in 1994, 1014 in 2011, and to 6803 in 2022, (R2 = 0.86). At first participation 18–25-year olds (51.1%) followed by ≥36 years (16%) were most represented. Strength comparison to available population norms demonstrates superior upper- (bench press [most competitors above 70th percentile) and lower-body (squat [majority rated ‘excellent’) strength. Conclusions Superior strength levels of powerlifters further the evidence base for this sport as an effective way to develop muscular strength, with low injury. We advocate for public health promotion and additional support for powerlifting as an underutilised community health tool.

MOTIVATION AND PROSOCIAL BEHAVIOR OF DISASTER VOLUNTEERS IN CARRYING OUT HUMANITARIAN ACTIONS

The number of disaster events in Indonesia, especially in Malang Regency, motivates people to move to become disaster volunteers. The motivation of these volunteers needs to be considered to increase community awareness of the threat of disasters around them. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of volunteer motivation on prosocial behavior in disaster management in Malang Regency. The respondents in this study were volunteers who were members of disaster management in Malang Regency in the range between May and December 2021, totaling 46 people. The sampling technique uses random sampling technique. Data collection used the Volunteer Motivation Questionnaire and Prosocial Tandencies Measure Questionnaire instruments. The data is presented with a table and by description then a rho spearman test is carried out. The results of this study showed that the correlation value between volunteer motivation and prosocial behavior was 0.581, which means that the level of strength between volunteer motivation and prosocial behavior is very strong. And the significance value or sig (2-tailed) of 0.000 which is less than 0.05 means that there is a significant relationship between volunteer motivation and volunteer prosocial behavior. There are several motiviations of a person, namely internal motivation and external motivation. With the motivation of some of these aspects, a volunteer will be encouraged to behave prosocially. Based on the results of this study, researchers suggest improving the activities of disaster management volunteers, such as providing training on disaster management, discussing experiences between volunteers and involving volunteers in social activities.

The Contribution of Lower-Body Kinematics to Pitching and Hitting Performance in Baseball: Utilizing the OpenBiomechanics Project.

As markerless motion capture systems become more affordable than ever, it is becoming far easier to collect and analyze kinematic data on baseballers. To ensure this data can be used impactfully, coaches and practitioners should possess a good understanding of specific technique characteristics that are associated with enhanced performance in pitchers and hitters. This study used the open-source data provided by Driveline Baseball's OpenBiomechanics Project to evaluate the contribution of lower-body kinematics to pitch velocity and bat speed. In addition to correlational analyses to examine the association between discrete kinematic variables and performance, statistical nonparametric mapping was used to compare slow and fast velocity groups across the entirety of pitching and hitting motions from peak knee height to ball release/contact. It was found that rotation of the trail leg and extension of the lead knee were both associated with performance in pitchers and hitters. Consequently, coaches and practitioners should ensure that individuals possess an adequate level of strength and flexibility to facilitate optimal movement of the trail hip and lead knee during pitching and hitting movements. If deficiencies exist, then training programs should be designed to address these issues and eventually bring about an improvement in performance.

Titanium alloys: A closer-look at mechanical, gamma-ray, neutron, and transmission properties of different grade alloys through MCNPcode application

Titanium alloys play a vital role in optimizing the effectiveness and security of nuclear reactors, strengthening structural durability, and facilitating the effective handling of nuclear waste. The aim of this study is to investigate the gamma-ray, neutron, and transmission properties of four common titanium alloys through the examination of the deposited energy amount in the liquid sodium coolant material, in relation to the mechanical properties of these alloys. MCNP (version 6.3) is utilized for designing the titanium pipes. Next, the pipes were re-designed considering the elemental mass fractions and densities of the investigated titanium alloys. Grade 26 sample is reported with the highest values of mass attenuation coefficients and the lowest HVL values among those investigated alloys. Grade 26 is reported to have the lowest TF value, whereas Grade 12 demonstrated the highest TF value. The highest Effective Removal Cross Section (ΣR, 1/cm) value against fast neutrons is reported for Grade 26. The utilization of Grade 26 sample as pipe material resulted in the lowest deposited energy amount (MeV/g) and subsequent lowest contamination in the coolant material. Out of the alloys that were chosen for analysis, it has been determined that Grade 26 exhibits the highest level of strength. It can be concluded that the Grade 26 alloy exhibits desirable characteristics for applications in nuclear technologies that require superior gamma-ray and neutron absorption properties, as well as exceptional mechanical properties. Nevertheless, it is essential to emphasize the importance for ongoing studies to enhance the existing material properties of Grade 26, with the aim of achieving improved safety and efficacy in nuclear applications.

The effect of increasing the intensity of specialized endurance training on runners' ability in the advanced 1500-meter run in terms of vital capacity indicators (V.C.) and heart rate (S.V.)

The 1500m race event is part of the athletics system, and the continuous competition to break records and achieve the highest levels of achievement in athletics events, especially the 1500m race event, is one of the topics that occupies the minds of many people interested in achieving digital development for this event, given the distance of the race and the time it takes to complete it. Because it is unique from other events, it has characteristics that distinguish it from other events, despite it being a middle-distance event, which shares with them that its speed is measured by the step, which consists of the length of the step and its frequency. Increasing any of these two factors while keeping one of them constant or increasing them together improves the level of speed and strength, which contributes to achievement.

Analysis and Design of Superstructure of Bridge Built Through Engineering College Premises

Abstract: The earlier publication from the authors focused on “The bridge through the college” which highlights how contracts and agreements signed many decades ago have to still be respected and fulfilled. A public highway planned to originally be laid on top of a filled-out irrigation canal passing through the campus of a college that commenced in 1977 was later replaced with an elevated bridge that was completed in 2023 and is now open to the public. The first part of the two-stage manuscript elaborated on the conception of the bridge, the general layout, geometry, and construction of this reinforced concrete girder bridge. The challenges associated in the process of engineering and construction as well as the opportunities missed were discussed. The second part of this study details the analysis process of the girders, the static and dynamic bridge loads considered, the code specifications and guidelines followed. The results of the analyses present the strength and service level member forces the bridge girders and slab are subjected to, and the design governing load combination envelopes. The study presents the superstructure girder designs, slab designs and the design methodology followed overall.

만성폐쇄성폐질환을 가진 노인 남성의 호흡 근력과 신체 기능 및 근육량의 상관관계 연구: Pilot study

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between respiratory muscle strength, physical function, and muscle mass in older menwith chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). Methods: The study included 30 men aged ≥65 years with COPD in GOLD stages 2-3. Respiratory muscle strength, handgrip strength, and the 6-min walk test (6MWT) were measured, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was conducted. Subsequently, a correlation analysis was conducted between the measured data and respiratory muscle strength. Results: Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) showed significant correlations with the pulmonary function test and 6MWT, whereas maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) displayed a significant correlation with hand grip strength (HGS). The highest correlation was observed between MIP and the 6MWT. Conclusion: This study confirmed significant correlations among respiratory muscle strength, HGS, and the 6MWT in older men with COPD. The results highlight the need for ongoing research into the relationship among respiratory muscle strength, physical function, and muscle mass to indirectly predict respiratory muscle strength levels. This could help in managing respiratory muscle health and improving overall physical exercise function in patients with COPD.

The Relationship Between Maximum Lower Limb Strength &amp; Power, and GPS Acceleration Speed in Elite U20 Gaelic Football Athletes

Previous research indicates positive relationships between high levels of lower limb strength and power, and acceleration sprint velocity in team sport athletes. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between lower limb absolute and relative strength, countermovement jump (CMJ) height, and Global Positioning System (GPS) recorded 20m acceleration sprint velocity in elite male U-20 Gaelic football athletes. Nineteen athletes (19.0 ± 0.5 years; 81.1 ± 5.5 kg; 182 ± 6.2 cm) from the same elite U-20 squad participated in this study during an in-season period. Subjects performed a &gt;95% 1RM box squat, a 20m sprint test, and a CMJ test. Relative maximum lower limb strength (r = 0.54, 95% CI [0.11 to 0.8]; p &lt; 0.05) and CMJ height (r = 0.66, 95% CI [0.29 to 0.86]; p &lt; 0.001) showed strong correlations with 20m sprint velocity. A multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that lower limb maximum relative strength and CMJ height significantly predicted 20m sprint velocity (Adjusted R2 = 0.51, F (2, 16) = 6.29, p &lt; 0.05). These findings provide evidence for the importance of elite under-age Gaelic football athletes acquiring high levels of lower limb strength and power characteristics to enhance acceleration sprint performance.

Ізотермічне гартування залізовуглецевих сплавів, суміщене з їх виливанням

Isothermal hardening (Austempering) of iron-based alloys with medium and high carbon content, which creates a metallic structure called bainite, is used to increase the strength and impact toughness of the metal. The parts are heated to a temperature approximately 200-300 °C below the solidification temperature of the metal, then cooled (hardened) fairly quickly to the temperature of the beginning of the bainite transformation, avoiding the martensitic transformation, and kept for a time sufficient to obtain the given bainite microstructure. IG is particularly advantageous for castings from high-strength cast iron (HC), adding to the high foundry performance of the growth of the mechanical characteristics of this alloy to the level of steel strength at a lower cost, density and energy consumption of HC casting compared to steel. The article examines methods of heat treatment of castings removed in a hot austenitic state from a sand mold, as a type of heat treatment of iron-carbon alloys combined with their casting. For this, casting according to gasification models was used, in which, due to the high fluidity of the dry sand of the casting mold, it is not difficult to remove hot castings from the mold for tempering. A number of IG methods previously patented by the FTIMS Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences have been supplemented by a new method of such hardening in a dosed amount of water, taking into account the effect of its film boiling. The new method includes the calculation of the optimal mass of quenching liquid - water with the aim of heating this mass of water to its boiling point at the time of cooling of the casting to the given temperature of the bainite transformation of the metal. The method saves the quenching liquid, simplifies the control of the duration of cooling, during which it allows the transportation of castings between the foundry and heat-treatment sections, which, in general, saves time, energy resources and the area of the workshop for obtaining heat-treated castings. Keywords: isothermal hardening, heat treatment, castings, austenite, lost foam casting.

WrapToR shells: Concept introduction, experimental testing, and design space exploration

This work introduces a novel truss stiffener concept for lightweight structural panels as an alternative to sandwich panels or stringer stiffened panels. The Wrapped Tow Reinforced (WrapToR) truss concept is modified to create stiffened composite panel structures (referred to here as WrapToR Shells). A prototype WrapToR Shell unit cell is manufactured and tested under three-point bending, where it demonstrates high levels of specific stiffness and strength. This experimental result is benchmarked against idealised sandwich panels via a low fidelity comparative analysis, and the study shows that even a best-case sandwich panel of equivalent mass under a representative bending load has an 83% increase in displacement, highlighting the excellent stiffness truss reinforced panels can provide. The design space available to the truss reinforced panels is then explored using finite element analysis and a simple parameter sweep of key truss design variables. A Pareto frontier between the competing objectives of minimising mass and maximising rigidity is shown, and global trends in performance are highlighted. It is observed that increasing the size of the truss profile or longitudinal member has a near linear increase on EI/mass, whereas for increasing shear member angle the inverse is true. For increasing shear member diameter, a less obvious effect on EI/mass is seen, indicating a more complex relationship with the other design variables.

Physical Therapies for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness: A Protocol for an Umbrella and Mapping Systematic Review with Meta-Meta-Analysis.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), also known as exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), is typically caused by strenuous and/or unaccustomed physical exercise. DOMS/EIMD manifests itself in reduced muscle strength and performance levels, increased muscle soreness, swelling, and elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers. Numerous randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews (SRs) of a wide variety of physiotherapy interventions for reducing the signs and symptoms of DOMS/EIMD have been published. However, these SRs often arrive at contradictory conclusions, impeding decision-making processes. We will systematically review the current evidence on clinical outcomes (efficacy, safety) of physiotherapy interventions for the treatment of DOMS/EIMD in healthy adults. We will also assess the quality of the evidence and identify, map, and summarise data from the available SRs. Umbrella review with evidence map and meta-meta-analyses. MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Epistemonikos and PEDro will be searched from January 1998 until February 2024. SRs of RCTs of any treatment used by physiotherapists (e.g., low-level laser therapy, electrical stimulation, heat/cold therapy, ultrasound, magnets, massage, manual therapies) to treat DOMS/EIMD in healthy adults will be eligible. Narrative/non-systematic reviews, studies of adolescents/children and medically compromised individuals, of complementary therapies, dietary, nutritional, or pharmacological interventions, as well as self-administered interventions, or those published before 1998, will be excluded. AMSTAR 2 will be used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included SRs. Corrected covered area, will be computed for assessing overlaps among included SRs, and an evidence map will be prepared to describe the credibility of evidence for interventions analysed in the relevant SRs. DOMS/EIMD is a complex condition, and there is no consensus regarding the standard of clinical/physiotherapeutic care. By critically evaluating the existing evidence, we aim to inform clinicians about the most promising therapies for DOMS/EIMD. This umbrella review has the potential to identify gaps in the existing evidence base that would inform future research. The protocol has been registered at PROSPERO (CRD42024485501].

Effects of a Physical Training Program on Cognitive and Physical Performance and Health-Related Variables in Professional esports Players: A Pilot Study

The present study focused on the effects of a physical training program on physical- and psychological-related variables in professional esports players. Five professional League of Legends (LOL) players belonging to the highest national category participated in this study. Data were obtained before and after a 5 h virtual training session (acute), as well as before and after an 8-week intervention period, focused on decreasing the impact of fatigue on players’ health and performance. The results showed that a complete virtual training session influences their performance, decreasing jump height and joint mobility (p &lt; 0.01), as well as increasing perceived physical and cognitive exertion by 76.9% (p &lt; 0.01) and 166.67% on the “Rating of Fatigue” scale (p = 0.002). Moreover, the intervention was able to reduce the impact of fatigue (30.8% and 43.3% reduction in cognitive and overall fatigue, respectively, p &lt; 0.05), improving, at the same time, the amount of muscle mass by 2%, jumping ability by 9.8% to 21%, and strength levels in various exercises by 63% to 173% (p &lt; 0.01). The implementation of a physical training program is capable of reducing the players’ fatigue perception, improving their physical conditioning and health status, and decreasing the injury risk.
