Objective: To achieve the excellent levels of athletic performance, professional athletes need to do continuous exercises and strengthen special muscles of the body and have to spend a lot of time training in that sport. As a result, depending on the prevailing condition of each sport, the physical orientation and the degree of abnormalities of the athletes in that sport are affected. Methods: The current study is descriptive and cross-sectional. The statistical population was 12-14 years old boys in middle and high school. The statistical sample of this study included 30 people (13 volleyball players and 17 basketball players) with a targeted training rate of at least three sessions per week. The Chippaux Smirak Index (CSI) method was used to evaluate the arch of the foot and to determine the angles and degrees of kyphosis and lordosis in radiographs. Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used to compare the variables of motor skills and posture by SPSS V. 18 at a significant level of 0.05. Results: The results of independent t-test to compare the variables of motor skills in the two groups of volleyball and basketball show that there is a significant difference between the two groups in the Sargent test and 4mX9m (P=0.000) (P≥0.05). The results were different in strength test (P=0.41) and Sit-up (P=0.75) so that there was no significant difference between the two groups (P≥0.05). The results of Mann-Whitney test to compare posture-related variables showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in any of the parameters of varus, valgus, pronation, supination, lordosis, kyphosis, foot flat (P≥0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that volleyball players have more impressive and explosive power than basketball players, but in terms of muscle strength and endurance, there is not much difference between these two groups, which is probably due to the nature and specific characteristics of their sports. Therefore, it seems necessary to pay more attention to athletes’ training programs to improve their motor skills and physical condition. In this study, the behavior and common habits of the subjects in interaction with the environment and hereditary characteristics have not been studied, so more research is needed in the etiology of musculoskeletal abnormalities.

Abstract Background : Antenatal exposure to the Zika virus (ZIKV) is related to severe neurological, ophthalmological and orthopedic manifestations called congenital Zika syndrome (CZS), but no changes in the electrical activity of the heart have been found. A higher prevalence of structural cardiac changes has been described in CZS patients when compared to the general population of live births. To describe 24-hour Holter findings in infants with confirmed antenatal exposure to ZIKV. Methods : Cross-sectional study of 24-hour Holter findings in infants with antenatal exposure to ZIKV confirmed by positive polymerase chain reaction(PCR) . Patients of the cohort of newborns and infants exposed intrautero to the ZIKV which began in November 2015 and continues to date and were hospitalized for clinical or surgical reasons were included. The 24-hour Holter monitoring was performed the day before discharge. Data analysis was descriptive and included subgroups of patients according to the presence of CZS and severe microcephaly. Heart rate, ST segment, QT interval and arrhythmias were evaluated. To evaluate heart rate variability (HRV) we used time domain analysis. The Mann-Whitney test was performed to verify significant differences between the subgroups of patients. Results : The sample consisted of 15 infants with average age of 16 months and 12 were diagnosed with CZS (8 had severe microcephaly). PCR at birth was positive in 8 newborn and 7 had positive maternal PCR during pregnancy. No arrhythmias or QT interval changes were observed. The Mann-Whitney test showed a significant difference between patients with and without CZS and with and without severe microcephaly, with HRV being lower in the groups with severe microcephaly and CZS. Conclusions : The study suggests that the HRV evaluation can be used as a sentinel event to assess the possibility of progressive neurological impairment in newborns with antenatal exposure to ZIKV, allowing early initiation of stimulation therapies in addition to indicating that cardiovascular complications may arise in the medium and long term.

Metastasis is the major cause of increased morbidity and mortality in breast cancer. Interleukin-8 has a contribution in the spread of the tumour cells. This study was aimed to know IL-8 levels in patients with metastasic and non metasatic breast cancer by analyzing. A cross sectional study was performed at the Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo, Ibnu Sina and Labuang Baji hospitals during September to December 2011. Laboratory examinations were done in the Research Centre of the Medical Faculty, University of Hasanuddin. Fiftysix (56) subjects with breast cancer were examined. The results showed that the levels of IL-8 in metastatic and non metastatic breast cancer were 13.73 pg/mL and 10.48 pg/mL respectively. Mann-Whitney test showed no significant difference of IL-8 level between them, (p=0.09). When the subjects were divided into early and advance stages, the mean levels of IL-8 were 8.035 pg/mL and 12.052 pg/mL, respectively, showing a significant difference by Mann-Whitney test (p=0.009). Based on this research, the level of IL-8 can be considered as a marker in predicting the prognosis of breast cancer. A further research in cohort studies which specific metastasis crawl method is advised by the researchers, these are suggested to allow the determination of the risk factors.

Background: During the practice of any physical exercises is produced heat. About 30% of this heat is transformed into work and the other 70%, distributed to the body, thus increasing the body temperature of the individual. Objective: to identify changes in body temperature and hydration of adolescents classified as physically actives or inactives. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive study with 40 students (13-17 years old) from a private school in Anápolis-GO. The tympanic and forehead body temperature and body mass were measured. The urine produced was then collected and the hydration state was estimated before and after the 12-minute run test, which was used to calculate the VO2max. After checking the normality of the data, the paired “t” test was performed to compare the pre and post-run data and a “t” test for independent samples to compare the groups denominated: active and inactive. Results: there was no significant difference in relation to the temperature pre-and post-test of the Cooper protocol in active and inactive individuals, but the active group had a higher central temperature. The active group presented a greater reduction of body mass and a worse state of dehydration, evaluated by the urine color, and also by the calculation of the rate of sweating. Finally, although both groups received the classification of “weak” regarding aerobic capacity, the active group was significantly superior to the inactive group. Conclusion: the group of actives adolescents presented higher central body temperature, with a higher rate of sweating, due to their greater physical effort (better test performance) and their better training, which can lead to a better body cooling system.

Abstract: Anthropometry is a measurement of the parts of human body. Nowadays there are so many studies and theories about anthropometry. One of them is difference between measurement of morning body height and evening body height. People should be taller in the morning than in the evening. This study’s goal is to obtain the description of human body height at different measurement time, by the time after morning wake-up and before sleep in the night from the students at Medical Faculty of Sam Ratulangi University in Manado. This study is a descriptive study with the cross-sectional approach. Samples were taken by purposive sampling. The amount of sample was calculated based on Slovin formula, with the total amount of sample is 75 people. The result showed that there is a body height step-up when the body height is measured after morning wake-up than before night sleep. The average of man’s body height step-up is 1.5 cm height and woman’s body height step-up is 1,6 cm height. T-test showed that there is a significant difference of body height between before sleep and after morning wake up with the value of p<0.01. Conclusion: The research can be concluded that there is a significant difference between before night sleep and after morning wake-up body height, in which the height step-up happens in the morning than in the evening.Keywords: body height, before sleeping, after waking upAbstrak: Antropometri merupakan pengukuran terhadap bagian-bagian tubuh manusia.

This study compares the risks and returns between the two indices in the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX), namely the LQ 45 Index and the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). This research period, starting from January 2008 to December 2017. Based on the normality test, the results obtained that the risk data of the LQ 45 Index are normally distributed while the JII Index risk data is not normally distributed. So that a different test used non-parametric statistics, namely the Mann Whitney test. In this study, the results obtained that there is no significant difference in the risk of the LQ 45 index with the JII index. Whereas based on the normality test for LQ 45 Index return data and JII Index return obtained both data are normally distributed and homogeneous. So that the parametric statistics were used by the T test. And the results obtained that the LQ 45 index return also had no significant difference with the JII index. This is due to almost the same constituents / members of these two indices, or the occurrence of a strong slice between the two. Finally, it can be concluded that the risks and returns between the LQ 45 Index and the JII Index have no significant differences.
