Introduction: The objectives of the study were to evaluate the prevalence of orofacial injuries in soccer players of a Brazilian club, considering the category, the position in the field, and the most affected anatomic site, through medical records. Methods: A total of 126 charts of players from the base categories (sub-15, sub-17, and sub-20) and male and female professional categories from 2016 to 2018 were evaluated. It was considered inclusion criteria to be a soccer player hired by a club in the indicated period. The exclusion criteria of the study correspond to the medical records registered after the chronological date stipulated or that did not have the correct registry of the occurred trauma. Results: The data analyzed presented a moderate value in relation to the orofacial traumas prevalence, and 64.3% of the athletes of the club have some record type of trauma in the face. We observed that soft-tissue lacerations of the lips and dental fractures present the highest frequencies (73% and 27%, respectively). The positions of defender, striker, and midfield are the most susceptible to injuries (31%, 24%, and 23%, respectively). Conclusion: Dental and orofacial trauma are a problem commonly encountered in sports, being present also in collective sports, such as football. It was observed a moderate prevalence of injuries on the face, especially among the athletes who are ahead of the attack line, with lip lacerations and dental fractures being the most common events.

Abstract Background This retrospective cohort study assessed the annualized incidence rate (IR) of acute pancreatitis (AP) in a nationally representative US adult population, as well as the variation in the risk of AP events across strata of triglyceride (TG) levels. Methods Data were obtained from IQVIA’s US Ambulatory Electronic Medical Records (EMR) database linked with its LRxDx Open Claims database. Inclusion criteria included ≥1 serum TG value during the overlapping study period of the EMR and claims databases, ≥1 claim in the 12-month baseline period, and ≥ 1 claim in the 12 months post index. All TG measurements were assigned to the highest category reached: < 2.26, ≥2.26 to ≤5.65, > 5.65 to ≤9.94, > 9.94, and > 11.29 mmol/L (< 200, ≥200 to ≤500, > 500 to ≤880, > 880, and > 1000 mg/dL, respectively). The outcome of interest was AP, defined as a hospitalization event with AP as the principal diagnosis. Results In total, 7,119,195 patients met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, of whom 4158 (0.058%) had ≥1 AP events in the prior 12 months. Most patients (83%) had TGs < 2.26 mmol/L (< 200 mg/dL), while < 1% had TGs > 9.94 mmol/L (> 880 mg/dL). Overall, the IR of AP was low (0.08%; 95% confidence internal [CI], 0.08–0.08%), but increased with increasing TGs (0.08% in TGs < 2.26 mmol/L [< 200 mg/dL] to 1.21% in TGs > 11.29 mmol/L [> 1000 mg/dL]). In patients with a prior history of AP, the IR of AP increased dramatically; patients with ≥2 AP events at baseline had an IR of 29.98% (95% CI, 25.1–34.9%). Conclusion The risk of AP increases with increasing TG strata; however, the risk increases dramatically among patients with a recent history of AP.

Introduction: The clinical presentation of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) usually includes headache, nausea, and vomiting with normal physical examination apart from papilledema and diplopia. However, pseudopapilledema, which can be caused by optic nerve drusen, may lead to misdiagnosis. The prevalence of optic nerve drusen in the general population is 0.5–2%. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of optic nerve drusen among patients with PTCS.Materials and Methods: Medical records of children evaluated in the pediatric department at Bnai Zion Medical Center due to PTCS between 2008 and 2020 were assessed. Inclusion criteria were children age under 18 years with a PTCS diagnosis and ophthalmic B-mode ultrasonography (US). Exclusion criteria were secondary intracranial hypertension.Results: Thirty-four children were included with a mean age 10.1 years which included 50% boys. A majority of the patients, 24 (72.4%), complained of headaches, while 15 (45.5%) complained of transient visual obscuration, and 9 (26.5%) of vomiting. Visual acuity on presentation was normal (20/20–20/30) in 23 of the children (67%), moderately diminished (20/40–20/80) in 9 (26%), and showing profound loss (20/200) in 2 (7%). Five patients (14.7%) were diagnosed with optic nerve drusen via B-mode ophthalmic ultrasonography (US). However, they still fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for PTCS, and disc swelling improved after treatment. There were no statistically significant differences between the group with optic nerve drusen and the rest of the patients.Conclusions: Optic nerve drusen are common among pediatric patients with PTCS. Diagnosis of optic nerve drusen should not rule out the presence of increased intracranial pressure.

Introduction: The success of orthodontic treatment is often associated with the improvement of facial appearance. Soft tissues of the nose, lips and chin are important factors in determining the beauty of the face. The aim of this study was to determine the facial profile of the Bataknese based on the proportion of soft tissue facial components such as nose, lips and chin. Materials and Methods: This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The samples of this research consists of 48 Batak tribe students in FKG USU Medan. This research was carried out by using 48 lateral cephalometry obtained from Batak tribe students who fit the inclusion criteria.Determination of soft tissue facial profile was carried out with Skinazi method. Results: The mean proportion results obtained from the soft tissue facial components of the nose was 64.41%, upper lip 13.79%, lower lip 14.80% and chin 6.86%. The results showed soft tissue facial profile obtained descriptively from the Bataknese were highest in nose proportion followed by lower lip, upper lip and the smallest were chin proportion. Large proportion of the nose and small proportion of chin showed that facial profile of the Bataknese were convex. The results of t- test and Mann Whitney analysis of nose, upper lip, lower lip and chin proportion showed there were no difference between male and female (p>0.05). Conclusion(s): The findings of this research showed that the soft tissue facial profile based on nose, lips and chin propotions in male and female from Batak tribe were convex.

Introduction Soccer is among the sports with the highest injury rate. A group of international experts from the Fédération Internationale de Football Association — FIFA’s Medical Assessment and Research Centre — have developed the “FIFA 11+”, a warm-up programme whose main goal is to reduce the risk of common injuries in both male and female soccer players. Objective To conduct a literature review in order to check the efficiency of the “FIFA 11 +” warm-up programme in preventing injuries in soccer players. Methods We conducted a systematic review of studies in the databases MEDLINE/PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect and SPORTDiscus, using the following keywords in combination with one another: “injury”, “prevention” and “warm-up”. Results Five studies met the inclusion criteria. In four studies, the authors conclude that the “FIFA 11 +” warm-up programme is effective for preventing injuries in soccer players. In one study, this protective effect was not observed. Conclusion The analyzed studies indicate that the FIFA 11+ warm-up programme for the prevention of sports injuries show positive signs that the use of the programme may help reduce the incidence of injuries in girls aged 13–17 years. In a male children population the results are inconclusive and further research is needed.

The Risk Malignancy Index (RMI) is one of the simplest assessments that can assist in diagnosing and determining the prognosis of benign and malignant adnexa masses. Epithelial carcinoma is the most common type of about 90% of ovarian cancers.  As many as 35-40% of the epithelial type are serous and 6-10% are musinosum.This study aims to compare the picture of RMI value on the incidence of ovarian cancer serosum and musinosum type. This study was cross sectinal comparative study from medical records of ovarian cancer patients at obstetrics and gynecology section in DR M Djamil Hospital Padang from January 1st, 2017 until December 31st, 2017. The population was found one hundred and forty of patients with ovarian cancer and only one hundred and twenty nine of patients met the inclusion criteria and there were no exclusion criteria. Next RMI value is calculated based on RMI 1 formula, result is described in tabular form and data processing with SPSS program. Conclucion of this study is there were no differences in age distribution, ascites occurrence and age of menopause in serous and musinosum ovarian cancer. There is a difference in Ca, 125 levels in serous with musinosum ovarian cancer which also contribute to the high value of RMI. The mean value of patients‘s RMI in serous type ovarian cancer is higher than the mean value of RMI in patients with type Musinosum ovarian cancer.

We adapted an established paradigm (Bach &amp; Tipper, 2007; Tipper &amp; Bach, 2010) to test whether people derive motoric predictions about an actor’s forthcoming actions from both prior knowledge about them, and the context in which they are seen. In two experiments, participants identified famous tennis and soccer players with either hand or foot responses, while these athletes were seen either carrying out or not carrying out their typical actions, in contexts in which these actions are typically seen (soccer field, tennis court) or outside these contexts (beach, awards ceremony). Identifying not-acting athletes revealed the expected negative compatibility effects, such that viewing a tennis player led to faster responses with a foot than a hand, and vice versa for a soccer player. In line with the idea that these negative compatibility effects reflect the absence of a predicted action, these effects were eliminated (or turned into positive compatibility effects), when the athletes were seen carrying out their expected actions. Strikingly, however, these motoric biases were independent of the context in which the athletes were seen, and were, if anything, more robust in the out-of-context trials, even if the context was made salient (Experiment 2). These results confirm that people hold motoric knowledge about the actions that others typically carry out and that these actions are part of their perceptual representations, which are accessed when they are re-encountered, possibly in order to resolve uncertainty in person perception.
