The purpose of the study was a comparative analysis of training programs in bodybuilding and an assessment of their influence on the frequency of traumatization of the musculoskeletal system of athletes. Materials and methods. Theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature was conducted. For a practical assessment of the primary data on the types of injuries, a survey of medical staff was conducted. We analyzed 54 journals with records of athletes' appeals to medical personnel. Mathematical processing of research results was carried out using the software packages IBM SPSS Statistics 2.0. The study, which was conducted during 4 months – from March to the end of June 2021, involved 60 bodybuilders aged 18-19 years old. Three research groups of 20 athletes each were formed. They were divided according to age, qualifications and anthropometric characteristics. The created groups did not have significant differences in these characteristics; the intergroup difference applied only to the proposed training programs. Results and discussion. In the course of the study, it was found that among the athletes of the control group who used the generally accepted program of training sessions with a certain sequence of using exercises of a basic and formative nature, the number of calls with certain pain sensations during four mesocycles of training decreased by 30.7% (p <0.05) compared to a similar period before the start of the study. At the same time, the results obtained show that among the athletes of the first main group, who used the combined program of training sessions in bodybuilding during the study, the controlled indicator of the number of calls decreased significantly – by 33.4% (p <0.05). Conclusion. In the process of studying the peculiarities of the influence of various programs of training sessions on the dynamics of morpho-functional indicators of the athletes’ organisms during four mesocycles of training sessions, a certain regularity was established regarding the ratio of the manifestations of types of injuries when performing strength exercises, depending on the sequence of their use. In the process of applying the methodical procedure "premature fatigue" on the dynamics of morphometric indicators of body weight of athletes it is shown that it is the third version of the program that contributes to a significant decrease in the number of calls (by 75%, p <0.05), compared with the results obtained over the period of the previous four mesocycles of intensive bodybuilding at the stage of specialized basic training of athletes

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic compelled health systems to protect patients and medical personnel during transit in hospitals by minimising transfers, prompting the use of telehealth systems. In the field of neurology, telemedicine has been used in emergency settings for acute stroke management between spoke and hub hospital networks, where good outcomes have been achieved. However, data on the use of telemedicine in non-stroke acute neurological conditions accessing the emergency department (ED) are currently missing.Methods and analysesThis is an interventional, open-label trial on the use of teleconsultation in the ED for neurological diseases other than stroke. The study aims to develop a remote consultancy system (TeleNeurological Evaluation and Support, TeleNS) for patients with acute neurological symptoms referred to hospital facilities without a 24-hour availability of a neurologist consultant (spoke hospitals). The study population will include 100 ED patients referred to two spoke hospitals in 6 months, who will be asked to perform teleconsultation instead of inperson visits. As a control group, retrospectively available data from patients admitted to the ED of spoke hospitals during the same time period over the last 2 years will be evaluated. The primary objective is to assess whether a TeleNS for the ED guarantees a faster but qualitatively non-inferior diagnostic/therapeutic work-up if compared with inperson examination, assuring the availability of all the necessary examinations and treatments with consistent time-saving.Ethics and disseminationThe trial was designed following the national guidelines on clinical investigation on telemedicine provided by the Italian Ministry of Health and according to the Standard Protocol Items for Randomized Trials statement guidelines. This research protocol was approved by Comitato Etico Area Vasta Emilia Nord in September 2020 (number/identification: 942/2020/DISP/AOUMO SIRER ID 805) and was written without patient involvement. Patients’ associations will be involved in the dissemination of study design and results. The results of the study will be presented during scientific symposia or published in scientific journals.Trial registration numberNCT04611295.

Background and objectives: Faced with the serious problem of an aging population, exercise is one of the most effective ways to maintain the health of the elderly. In recent years, with the popularization of smartphones, the elderly have increasingly accepted technological products that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI). However, there is not much research on using artificial intelligence bracelets to enhance elders’ motivation and participation in exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of sports smart bracelets and multi-sport training programs on the motivation of the elderly in Macau. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with a randomized trial design in a 12 week multi-sport exercise training intervention. According to the evaluation, a total of sixty elders’ pre- and post-test data were included in this study. Results: After 12 weeks of multi-sport exercise training, the evaluation scores on the exercise motivation scale (EMS) increased significantly in the group wearing exercise bracelets and those taking part in the multi-component exercise program, and the degree of progress reached a statistically significant level, but the control group did not show any statistically significant difference. The influence of the combination of sports smart bracelets and multi-sport training programs on elders’ motivation is clearer. Conclusions: The use of sports smart bracelets by elderly people in conjunction with diverse exercise training can effectively enhance elders’ motivation and increase their participation in regular exercise. The combination of sports smart bracelets and multi-sport training programs is worth promoting in the elderly population.

The purpose of this study is to develop and apply a type of perineal underwear that protects the patient’s physical privacy and to examine its effects on perineal discomfort and shame. This study collected primary data from 44 patients who visited Kyung Hee University hospital in Seoul city and were admitted to the neurosurgery ward to undergo angiography between 7 August 2017, and 30 April 2018. In this quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent control group posttest-only design, participants were divided into an experimental group (n = 22) and a control group (n = 22). The control group used conventional protection, which involved wearing padding around the perineum, while the experimental group wore the perineal underwear developed in this study. The underwear group showed a significantly lower degree of shame (Z = −5.39, p < 0.001) and perineal discomfort (Z = −5.88, p < 0.001) than the padding group. In the padding group, women felt significantly more shame than men did (Z = −2.48, p = 0.013). The use of the perineal underwear developed in this study significantly reduced the degree of shame and perineal discomfort in patients undergoing angiography. Such perineal underwear could also be useful for protecting patients’ privacy during perineal examinations.

El concepto marxista de fetichismo nos ayuda a entender como los regímenes liberales, tanto de carácter productivo como de naturaleza consumptiva, construyen un mundo de objetos circulantes que aparecen divorciados de los contextos en los que se produjeron. Lo mismo se puede decir de la transcripción cuando esta se externalizada y es consumida —cual que dato primario— por los grupos de investigación. En el artículo se discute la importancia de la transcripción en el proceso de investigación. En primer lugar, se atiende su relevancia en la dimensión analítica y como parte de las preocupaciones metodológicas para evitar la pérdida de continuidad en la transformación de la oralidad en documento primario. Se analizan los problemas derivados de mercantilizar la transcripción en los contextos de externalización del trabajo de campo. En segundo lugar, se contextualiza el trabajo de transcripción en el proceso artesanal de la investigación cualitativa y se incide en las posibilidades que brinda para realizar un análisis continuo del proceso de investigación. En último lugar, el artículo discute la dimensión ética que contiene la transcripción literal como proceso a través del que se devuelve, en forma de escucha, el tiempo a las personas que ofrecieron su palabra a la investigación.The Marxist concept of fetishism helps us to understand how liberal regimes, both productive and consumptive, construct a world of circulating objects that appear divorced from the contexts in which they are produced. The same can be said of transcription when it is outsourced and consumed as a primary data by research groups. The importance of transcription in the research process is discussed in the article. First, we take into account its relevance in the analytical process and as part of the methodological concerns to avoid the loss of continuity in the transformation of orality into a primary document. We analyze the problems derived from commercialization of the transcription in the contexts of outsourcing of the field work. Secondly, the work of transcription is contextualized in the artisanal process of qualitative research and it focuses on the possibilities it offers to carry out a continuous analysis in the research process. Finally, the article discusses the ethical dimension of the literal transcription as a process through which we return the people that offered they time and they word to the research in the form of listening.

Background: A new sweetener with the commercial name of Lacritose has been recently produced, which is a combination of four simple sugars (lactose, fructose, sucrose, erythritol), with specific ingredients and percentages. This study aimed to assess glycemic response and short term gastrointestinal reactions in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: In this triple-blind randomized clinical trial, 30 diabetic patients referred to Yazd Diabetes Research Center in 2018 were included. After collecting the primary data, they were assigned into three groups, including sucrose consumers as the control group, sucrose-lactose, and lacritose as the groups of consumers group. They were followed for two weeks, and fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial test (2HPP), fructose amine, SGOT, SGPT, urea, creatinine, and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were assessed. Results: In lacritose consumers, significant reductions were seen in FBG and 2HPP (P < 0.001 and P = 0.05, respectively), although changes among the groups were not significant. In sucrose-lacritose consumers, FBG and cholesterol levels decreased (P = 0.04 and P = 0.03, respectively). In sucrose consumers, no reduction was seen. HOMA-IR did not significantly decrease, but intergroup changes were obvious. Conclusion: The lacritose effects on FBG and 2HPP were significantly evident, but the other metabolic indices did not show any significant change.

Врожденные пороки сердца (ВПС) являются ведущей патологией среди всех пороков и аномалий развития плода. Известно, что тератогенный эффект ксенобиотика будет максимально представлен при нарушенных иммунных взаимодействиях в системе мать-эмбрион . Неоднократно показано, что женский гомозиготный генотип HLA-G 3UTR 14-bp ins/ins ассоциирован с репродуктивными потерями. Цель исследования. Изучить распределение аллелей и генотипов генов биотрансформации ксенобиотиков у женщин, имеющих детей с ВПС, носительниц вариантных генотипов HLA-G 3UTR 14-bp ins/del. Материал и методы. Обследованы 103 женщины, у которых дети при рождении имели врожденный порок сердца без хромосомных заболеваний и родословной историей, а также 103 женщины (контрольная группа), родивших двух здоровых детей и более. Типирование полиморфных сайтов генов HLA-G 3UTR 14-bpins/del, GSTM1 (rs74837985), CYP1A1 (rs1048943) CYP1A2 (rs35694136, rs762551) GSTT1 (rs2266633, rs2266637, rs2234953) GSTP1 (rs6591256, rs1695, rs1871042, rs1793068), GATA 6 (rs10454095) проводили методом RT-PCR. Результаты. Показано, что у женщин основной группы, являющихся носительницами гомозиготного генотипа 14-bp ins/ins HLA-G 3UTR, статистически значимо чаще встречались гетерозиготные генотипы GSTP1 (rs6591256) A/G (р0,01 отношение шансов ОШ5,1, 2,5710,27), GSTP (rs1793068) G/T (р0,01 ОШ5,1, 2,5710,27), CYP1A2 (rs762551) A/C (р0,01 ОШ6,81, 3,3513,73) и гомозиготный минорный генотип GSTP1 (rs1871042) T/T (р0,001 ОШ7,32, 3,6214,76) по сравнению с группой контроля. В основной группе женщин G/G rs74837985 GSTM1 статистически значимо реже (р0,01 ОШ 0,20, 0,06-0,59) встречался у носительниц 14-bp ins/ins HLA-G 3UTR по сравнению с носительницами гетерозиготного генотипа 14-bp ins/del HLA-G 3UTR. Заключение. В ходе исследования установлено, что при одновременном носительстве мутантных аллелей HLA-G и генов системы транформации ксенобиотиков риски рождения детей с дефектом межжелудочковой перегородки выше, чем при носительстве изолированных мутаций.Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the leading pathologies among all congenital malformations and fetal development abnormalities. It is known that the teratogenic effect of xenobiotic will be maximally presented in the case of disturbed immune interactions in the mother-embryo system. It has been repeatedly shown that the female homozygous genotype HLA-G 3UTR 14-bp ins/ins is associated with reproductive losses. The purpose of this study was to study the distribution of alleles and genotypes of xenobiotic biotransformation genes in women with children with CHD, carriers of variant HLA-G 3UTR 14-bp ins/del genotypes. Material and method: It was examined 103 women whose children had a ventricular septal defect (VSD) without chromosomal diseases and a pedigree history at birth, and 103 women (control group) who gave birth to two or more healthy children. The typing of polymorphic sites of the genes HLA-G 3UTR 14-bp ins/del, GSTM1 (rs74837985), CYP1A1 (rs1048943) CYP1A2 (rs35694136, rs762551) GSTT1 (rs2266633, rs2266637, rs2234953) GSTP1 (rs6591256, rs1695, rs1871042, rs1793068), GATA 6 (rs10454095) was performed by the RT-PCR method. Mathematical processing was carried out using the application software STATISTICA 8.0 (StatSoftInc., USA) and SNPstats. Results: It was shown that the heterozygous genotypes GSTP1 (rs6591256) A / G (p0.01, OR5.1 (2.5710.27)), GSTP (rs1793068) G / T (p0.01, OR5.1 (2.5710.27)), CYP1A2 (rs762551) A/C (p0.01, OR6.81 (3.3513.73)) and the homozygous minor genotype GSTP1 (rs1871042) T/T (p0.001, OR7.32 (3.6214.76) ) were statistically significantly more frequent in the main group of women who are carriers of the homozygous genotype 14-bp ins/ins HLA-G 3UTR, in comparison with the control group. In the main group of women G/G rs74837985 GSTM1 statistically significantly less (p0.01, OR0.20 (0.060.59)) was found in carriers of 14-bp ins / ins HLA-G 3UTR, in comparison with carriers of the heterozygous genotype 14-bp ins/del HLA-G 3UTR. Conclusion: It was found that with the simultaneous carrier of the mutant alleles of HLA-G and the genes of the xenobiotics transformation system, the risk of having children with VSD is higher, compared with the carriage of isolated mutations.

Introduction. An important reserve for increasing the profitability and competitiveness of livestock production would be solving the problem of feed protein deficiency in animal feeding. Significant contribution to the solution of this problem can be made by using high-protein waste of oil extraction (meal, cake), alcohol (bard), brewing (brewers grains) industries for feeding purposes. Since the liquid brewers grains is poorly preserved and easily spoiled, especially during the summer, and its transportation over long distances requires large costs, in this regard, there is a current problem of drying the liquid brewers grains and its usage as a high-protein fodder for feeding animals in dry form as part of animal mixed fodder. The purpose of our research is to study the effectiveness of feeding dry brewers grains to repair heifers of the Jersey breed. Research materials and methods. Research on the feeding dry brewers grains effectiveness was carried out on repair heifers of the Jersey breed at the age from 2 to 12 months on the basis of the farm SE “Dan-milk” in Cherniakhiv district of Zhytomyr region. Dry brewers grains produced by private joint-stock company (PJSC) “Obolon” were used for the research. Research result. The content of crude protein in 1 kg of dry brewers grains, which was used in scientific and economic research, was 24.46%, or 244.6 g per 1 kg of dry brewers grains. In order to study the effectiveness of feeding dry brewers grains, three groups of repair heifers of the Jersey breed were formed for the research, 8 heads each, according to the following scheme: one control group of repair heifers, and the other two were research groups. According to the research scheme, the control group of repair heifers received a standard grain mixture without dry brewers grains. The difference in the feeding of repair heifers of research groups consisted in different levels of feeding dry brewers grains, which was included in the grain mix of the II research group in the amount of 15%, and the III research group - in the amount of 20%. As a result of the research, there was an increase in the average daily gains of the II research group heifers, which ration included 15% of dry brewers grains in the mixture composition: for the period from 2 until 6 months – up to 0.811 kg against 0.786 kg, for a period from 6 until 12 months – up to 0.671 kg against 0.657 kg, for a period from 2 until 12 months – up to 0.727 kg against 0.709 kg in the control group. At the age from 9 and 12 months of cultivation of repair heifers of the II research group, which grain mixture included 15% of dry brewers grains, there was a tendency of the main body measurements increase: height at the withers, chest girth and oblique torso length, compared with the repair heifers of the control group. In heifers of the III research group, which ration included 20% of dry brewers grains of the grain mixture, the main body measurements were lower than in heifers of the control and II research groups. While studding main hematological indicators of the repair heifers of the control and research groups at the age of 6 and 12 months of cultivation, it was found that the inclusion of 15% of dry brewers grains in the grain mixture of the ration of the repair heifers of the II research group improved their passage of biosynthetic processes and the use of nitrogen, which indicates a tendency to increase in their blood total protein content compared to the control group primarily due to globulins, which indicates an improvement of immune-protective properties in the heifers of this group. The increase in the content of total protein and globulins against the control group in the heifers of the III research group, grain mixture for which included 20% of dry brewers grains, was manifested to a lesser degree. Summary. The inclusion of dry brewers grains in the grain mixture of the rations of repair heifers of the Jersey breed of the II research group in the amount of 15% of the total weight of the grain mixture, provided an increase in their average daily gains compared to the repair heifers of the control group and amounted to for the period from 2 until 6 months – 3.2%, for the period from 6 until 12 months – 2.1%, for the period from 2 until 12 months –2.6% with a tendency to increase the main measurements at the age of 9 months: height at the withers up to 104.0 cm against 103.5 cm, chest girth – 142.8 cm against 141.4 cm, oblique torso length – 131.8 cm against 131.4 cm in the control group.

Aim. To study the opinion of mothers of newborns and neonatologists about the organization of inpatient care for newborns in St. Petersburg. Methods. An anonymous survey of 2123 mothers of newborns and 172 neonatologists of St. Petersburg was conducted. The representativeness of the sample was checked by using the method of Professor A.M. Merkov, with the errors do not exceed 4 and 3%, respectively. Mathematical processing and data analysis were carried out by using the statistical software package PASW STATISTICS. Results. 28.9% of mothers were partially or completely unsatisfied with the organization of inpatient care for newborns, in most cases due to the unfriendly and inattentive attitude by the medical staff (22.4%), the unsatisfactory provision by child care products (12.8%) and poor material and technical equipment of a medical organization (12.5%). On average, the human qualities of neonatologists were rated quite high by mothers at 4.630.09 (out of 5) points, and in mid-level practitioners were significantly lower 3.910.08 points (p 0.05). In general, staying a newborn in a medical organization required financial costs for 37.3% of women, and 13.9% of respondents who received help through compulsory medical insurance paid for individual laboratory and other tests on their own. Mothers rated the organization of inpatient care for newborns on average 4.010.09 points. Compared to mothers, neonatologists rated it higher in the medical organization they work for and lower overall in St. Petersburg (M=4.110.10 points and M=3.780.12 points; p 0.05). According to the doctors, the main disadvantages of organizing inpatient care for newborns are poor material and technical equipment and problems associated with the staffing and qualifications of medical personnel. Conclusion. There is a need to improve the process of providing inpatient care to newborns.
