Normative values and changes in range of motion,strength, and functional performance over 1 year in adolescent female football players: Data from 418 players in the Karolinska football Injury Cohort study

ObjectiveTo study normative values of range of motion (ROM), strength, and functional performance and investigate changes over 1 year in adolescent female football players.DesignCross-sectional.Participants418 adolescent female football players aged 12–17 years.Main outcome measuresThe physical characteristic assessments included (1) ROM assessment of the trunk, hips, and ankles; (2) strength measures (maximal isometric and eccentric strength for the trunk, hips, and knees, and strength endurance for the neck, back, trunk and calves), and (3) functional performance (the one-leg long box jump test and the square hop test).ResultsOlder players were stronger, but not when normalized to body weight. Only small differences in ROM regarding age were found. ROM increased over 1 year in most measurements with the largest change in hip external rotation, which increased by 6–7° (Cohen's d = 0.83–0.87). Hip (d = 0.28–1.07) and knee (d = 0.38–0.53) muscle strength and the square hop test (d = 0.71–0.99) improved over 1 year.ConclusionsNormative values for ROM and strength assessments of neck, back, trunk, hips, knees, calves and ankles are presented for adolescent female football players. Generally, fluctuations in ROM were small with little clinical meaning, whereas strength improved over 1 year.     

全面两孩政策下已育育龄妇女生育意愿的影响因素及其对策研究

目的：在全面两孩政策下，通过抽样调查上海市户籍已育育龄妇女二孩生育意愿，并分析其影响因素，为生育政策的实施及相关配套的完善提供参考。方法：采用目的抽样的方法，对上海市2个区4个街道的920名夫妻一方为上海市户籍家庭中15~49岁已育一孩妇女进行问卷调查，采用卡方检验、多因素Logistic回归模型进行二孩生育意愿影响因素分析。结果：回收有效问卷904份，其中有二孩生育意愿者20.7%，无意愿者57.7%，不确定者21.6%。回归分析结果显示，育龄妇女年龄、家庭年收入、夫妇类型、生育偏好和区域差异是妇女二孩生育意愿的重要影响因素。结论：全面两孩政策的实施对已生育一孩妇女的二孩生育意愿影响有限，意愿生育子女数明显低于政策允许生育子女数，除生育政策外，还有很多因素制约着人们的二孩生育意愿。全面两孩政策之后，延长产假、哺乳假和提供经济支持是最受期待的育儿支持政策。     

Healthcare Clinician and Staff Perspectives on Facilitators and Barriers to Ideal Sexual Health Care to High-Risk Depressed Young Women: A Qualitative Study of Diverse Clinic Systems

Study ObjectiveThis study identified clinician and clinic staff perspectives on facilitators and barriers to providing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care to depressed young women, a population at increased risk for adverse SRH outcomes.DesignWe conducted in-person semi-structured qualitative interviews, which were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded by two researchers. We used thematic analysis to identify themes pertaining to care facilitators and barriers within a socio-ecological framework.SettingThis study was conducted in seven diverse clinics in the U.S. New England region.ParticipantsParticipants were 28 clinicians and staff (4/clinic), including behavioral health clinicians (n = 9), nurse practitioners (n = 7), nurses (n = 3), medical doctors (n = 3), administrative associates (n = 2), practice managers (n = 2), family planning counselor (n = 1), and medical assistant (n = 1).Main Outcome MeasuresWe queried how clinicians and clinic staff identify and manage depression and sexual risk, and what they perceive as facilitators and barriers affecting provision of ideal SRH care to depressed young women.ResultsThemes represented facilitators of and barriers to providing ideal SRH care to high-risk depressed young women at five socio-ecological levels: individual (facilitator: trust in providers; barrier: stigma experiences), interpersonal/provider (facilitator: frequent patient–provider communication; barrier: lack of time during clinic visits to build trust), clinic (facilitator: integration of care; barrier: lack of scheduling flexibility), organization/community (facilitator: training for providers; barrier: funding constraints), and macro/societal (facilitator: supportive policies; barrier: mental health stigma).ConclusionOptimizing SRH care to high-risk depressed young women necessitates attention to factors on all socio-ecological levels to remove barriers and bolster existing facilitators of care.     

Psychological Outcome after Hemorrhagic Stroke is Related to Functional Status

BackgroundTo identify opportunities to improve morbidity after hemorrhagic stroke, it is imperative to understand factors that are related to psychological outcome.Design/MethodsWe prospectively identified patients with non-traumatic hemorrhagic stroke (intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage) between January 2015 and February 2021 who were alive 3-months after discharge and telephonically assessed 1) psychological outcome using the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral dyscontrol, fatigue and sleep disturbance inventories and 2) functional outcome using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Barthel Index. We also identified discharge destination for all patients. We then evaluated the relationship between abnormal psychological outcomes (T-score >50) and discharge destination other than home, poor 3-month mRS score defined as 3-5 and poor 3-month Barthel Index defined as <100.Results73 patients were included; 41 (56%) had an abnormal psychological outcome on at least one inventory. There were 41 (56%) patients discharged to a destination other than home, 44 (63%) with poor mRS score and 28 (39%) with poor Barthel Index. Anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral dyscontrol and sleep disturbance were all associated with a destination other than home, poor mRS score, and poor Barthel Index (all p<0.05). Fatigue was related to poor mRS score and poor Barthel Index (p=0.005 and p=0.006, respectively).ConclusionMultiple psychological outcomes 3-months after hemorrhagic stroke are related to functional status. Interventions to improve psychological outcome and reduce morbidity in patients with poor functional status should be explored by the interdisciplinary team.     

电针深刺八髎穴治疗女性压力性尿失禁的临床观察

目的:评价电针深刺八髎穴治疗压力性尿失禁的疗效.方法:将60例压力性尿失禁的女性患者按就诊先后顺序分为两组,每组30例.对照组给予盆底肌训练,治疗组给予电针深刺八髎穴(上髎、次髎、中髎和下髎).结果:治疗组总有效率为93.3%,对照组为33.3%,治疗组的总有效率明显高于对照组(P<0.05).治疗后,两组国际尿失禁咨询委员会尿失禁问卷表简表(ICIQ-SF)评分及漏尿量均低于治疗前(均P<0.05),治疗组ICIQ-SF评分及漏尿量均低于对照组(均P<0.05).结论:长针深刺八髎穴能改善压力性尿失禁女性临床症状,疗效优于盆底肌训练.
