Purpose. To determine the risk of macrosomia in pregnant women as a function of body weight.Material and Methods. The study included 754 patients. All patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 included 262 obese patients with an average body mass index (BMI) of 33.1 (31.4; 35.9) kg/m2, aged 30 (27; 34) years. Group 2 comprised 260 overweight patients with an average body mass index of 27.5 (26.4; 28.7) kg/m2, aged 29 (25; 33) years. Group 3 (control) included 232 patients with normal body weight, BMI of 22.6 (21.0; 23.8) kg/m2, aged 28 (25; 31.5) years. Anthropometric data were assessed in all patients with the performance of general clinical and laboratory examinations.Results. Based on the results of logistic regression analysis for continuous variables, a prognostic model for the birth of a large fetus with a probability of up to 70.3% was constructed.

Abstract Background: National data show that lesbian and bisexual women are more likely to be overweight and obese compared to straight women. Little is known about whether provider recommendation for weight management varies across these populations. Objectives: To compare, among lesbian, bisexual, and straight females with BMIs≥30: 1) the average Body Mass Index (BMI); 2) receipt of a diagnostic code for obesity; and 3) receipt of a provider recommendation for weight management.Design: We performed a cross-sectional study of 536 patient records from four outpatient academic internal medicine practices at the University of Pennsylvania between January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 to determine variations in average BMI, proportion of ICD-10 codes for obesity, and proportion of weight management recommendations offered by providers among lesbian, bisexual and straight females with BMIs≥30. We classified provider recommendations as definite, possible, and absent. Multivariable linear (BMI outcome only) or logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations between sexual orientation and each of the following outcomes: BMI, receipt of obesity diagnosis, and weight management recommendations.Patients: Lesbian, bisexual, and straight females with BMIs≥30Main Measures: 1) the average Body Mass Index (BMI); 2) receipt of a diagnostic code for obesity; and 3) receipt of a provider recommendation for weight management Key Results: There were no significant differences in BMI, receipt of obesity diagnoses, or weight management recommendations between lesbian, bisexual, and straight females with BMIs≥30. However, only about half the patients with BMIs≥30, regardless of sexual orientation, received a weight management recommendation as recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines.Conclusion: Disparities in BMI, receipt of obesity diagnoses, or receipt of weight management recommendations between sexual orientation minority and heterosexual females do not exist in this urban population. However, provider recommendation for weight management was suboptimal in all the groups.

Background : The minimally invasive abdominal surgery has evolved to reduce portals, culminating with a single incision and natural orifice operation. However, these methods are still expensive, difficult to implement and with questionable aesthetic results. Aim : To present the standardization and preliminary results of a technique for performing laparoscopic suprapubic access by the principle which was called the Supra Pubic Endoscopic Surgery for cholecystectomy. Method : The average body mass index of patients, the mean operative time, clinical data of the postoperative complications and quality of life were prospectively studied. The operation incisions consisted of: A) umbilical for instrumental dissection and clipping; B) in the right groin for handling and gallbladder gripping; C) suprapubic for the camera. With the patient in reverse Trendelenburg and left lateral decubitus, the operation flew by the camera trocar in C, proceeding with dissection and isolation of the biliary pedicle, identification of cystic duct and artery, with usual instrumentation. Transcystic intraoperative cholangiography was performed in all cases in which there were indications. The procedure was completed with clipping and sectioning of the cystic duct and artery, retrograde resection of the gallbladder and extracting it by the umbilical trocar incision under direct vision. Results : Thirty patients undergone this surgical procedure between March and June 2012 and were evaluated. The mean age was 40.7 years and the indications were typical biliary colic in 18 cases (60 %), cholecystitis in five cases (16.6 %), biliary pancreatitis in one case (3.3%); polyp in three cases (10%) and obstructive jaundice at three cases (10%). The average body mass index was 27.8 (23.1-35.1) and surgical time ranged between 24 and 70 minutes. Conclusion : The technique proved to be feasible and safe , with no significant complications, and satisfactory cosmetic results.

ABSTRAK   Kejuaraan Renang Pelajar Bulanan Provinsi DKI Jakarta merupakan program pemasalan olahraga renang bagi pelajar tingkat Sekolah Dasar dan Sekolah Menengah Pertama di Provinsi DKI Jakarta. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui antropometri peserta yang menjadi juara dalam setiap bulan pelaksanaannya. Metode yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan tes dan pengukuran indeks masa tubuh peserta yang hasilnya diklasifikasikan ke dalam norma yang ditentukan dalam mengukur indeks masa tubuh. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa rata-rata indeks masa tubuh atlet putra dan putri peserta Kejuaraan Renang Pelajar Provinsi DKI Jakarta dalam kategori normal. Hasil tersebut memberikan gambaran kepada pelatih untuk meningkatkan program latihan sehingga dapat mencapai hasil yang maksimal dalam rangka peningkatan atlet ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi.   Kata Kunci : Indeks Masa Tubuh, Atlet Renang, Antropometri   ABSTRACT   The DKI Jakarta Province Monthly Student Swimming Championship is a swimming sports program for elementary and junior high school students in DKI Jakarta Province. This study aims to determine the anthropometry of participants who won each month of its implementation. The method used is a test and measurement of the body mass index of participants whose results are classified into the norms determined in measuring the body mass index. The results of this study indicate that the average body mass index of male and female athletes participating in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Student Swimming Championship is in the normal category. These results provide an overview for the coach to improve the training program so that it can achieve maximum results in order to increase athletes to a higher level.   Keywords: Body Mass Index, Swimming Athletes, Anthropometry

Background: The incidence of nontraumatic fatalities in high school (HS) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) football players has continued at a constant rate since the 1960s. Purpose: To describe the causes of nontraumatic fatalities in HS and NCAA football players and provide prevention strategies. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: We reviewed 187 fatalities in HS and NCAA nontraumatic football players catalogued by the National Registry of Catastrophic Sports Injuries during a 20-year period between July 1998 and June 2018. Results: The majority (n = 162; 86.6%) of fatalities occurred during a practice or conditioning session. Most fatalities, when timing was known, (n = 126; 70.6%) occurred outside of the regular playing season, with the highest incidence in the August preseason (n = 64; 34.2%). All documented conditioning sessions were supervised by a coach (n = 92) or strength and conditioning coach (n = 40). The exercise regimen at the time of the fatality involved high-intensity aerobic training in 94.7%. Punishment was identified as the intent in 36 fatalities. The average body mass index of the athletes was 32.6 kg/m2. For athletes who died due to exertional heat stroke, the average body mass index was 36.4 kg/m2, and 97.1% were linemen. Conclusion: Most nontraumatic fatalities in HS and NCAA football players occurred during coach-supervised conditioning sessions. The primary cause of exertion-related fatalities was high-intensity aerobic workouts that might have been intended as punishment and/or excess repetitions. Exertion-related fatalities are potentially preventable by applying standards in workout design, holding coaches accountable, and ensuring compliance with the athlete’s health and current welfare policies.
