Background: Many ice hockey goaltending techniques force hip joints and groin muscles into extreme ranges of motion, which may increase the risk of hip and groin problems. Purpose: To explore how elite goaltenders and goaltending coaches perceive the demands of common goaltending techniques on the hip and groin region. We further explored differences in perception between goaltenders and their coaches as well as between junior (age <20 years) and senior (age ≥20 years) goaltenders. Study Design: Cross-sectional survey. Methods: We developed a model to categorize common ice hockey goaltending techniques into quantifiable units and invited elite goaltenders and coaches in Sweden to complete an online survey. Participants were asked to rate the perceived demands of each technique on the hip and groin using a Likert scale (not at all, slightly, somewhat, very, or extremely demanding). Using the chi-square test, the proportion of participants perceiving each technique as very or extremely demanding were compared between goaltenders and coaches as well as between senior and junior goaltenders. Results: We received responses from 132 goaltenders and 43 coaches. The stances most frequently perceived as very or extremely demanding were the reverse vertical horizontal post-play (40%) and the butterfly save (25%). Among transitions, movements into the post were most frequently rated as very or extremely demanding (11%–40%). Several techniques were perceived as demanding by a larger share of coaches than goaltenders (difference, 13%–46%; P < .001–.028) and a larger share of senior versus junior goaltenders (difference, 12%–20%; P = .13–.18). Conclusion: The post-play and the butterfly were the goaltending techniques most frequently perceived as demanding, and more coaches than goaltenders percieved these techniques demanding. The results of this study may inform injury prevention efforts for ice hockey goaltending.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a condition where a person does not have immunity. The disease can be transmitted from pregnant women to the child they are carrying, in an effort to detect early HIV, VCT needs to be done. Karanganyar Community Health Center data in 2017 VCT service coverage for pregnant women in 2017 was less than 26.7%. This study aims to determine the factors associated with the use of VCT in pregnant women. This type of research is quantitative by using descriptive correlation method and cross sectional approach. The population is 70 pregnant women who were obtained by purposive sampling technique. Data obtained by closed questionnaire and data analyzed using frequency distribution and chi square test. The results showed knowledge about VCT examination included less (52.9%), attitudes included negative (55.7%), secondary education (52.9%), most did not work (67.1%), more than half received less support from their husbands (57.1%), and most did not utilize VCT services (72.9%). Factors related to the use of VCT are knowledge (p value 0,000), attitude (p value 0,000), education (p value 0,000) and husband's support (p value 0,000), unrelated factors are work (p value 0.196). The conclusion from this study factors related to the use of VCT are knowledge, attitudes, education and husband's support. Therefore, it is better for health workers, especially nurses, to provide nursing services to pregnant women, especially the use of VCT services as an effort in early detection of HIV in pregnant women.

India started its vaccination program at the beginning of 2021, the main beneficiaries being health workers and frontline workers including police, paramilitary forces, sanitation workers, and disaster management volunteers in the first phase. By the time, the second wave of Covid-19 impacted India, approximately 14 million healthcare and frontline workers, including dentists had been vaccinated. Aim: To study the effectiveness of vaccination on a subset of high-risk healthcare workers i.e. dentists in preventing Covid-19 during the second wave of the pandemic. Study design: A questionnaire based pan-India online survey was carried out to record the Covid-related experiences of dentists prior to and after vaccination. Result: During the second wave, 9.18% (n=364) respondents became positive in spite of the vaccine, while 14.69%(n=78) became positive in the unvaccinated group. A chi-square test of independence was performed to examine the relation between vaccination and the Covid positivity rate in all age groups. The relation between these variables was highly significant, [X2 (1, N = 4493) = 15.9809, p=.000064]. Conclusion: Our pan-India online survey inferred that vaccination has a definitive role to play in reducing the positivity rate amongst dentists during the second wave of the pandemic across all age groups.

Pada 3 bulan setelah  pemasangan.ada keluhan leukorea. Leukorea merupakan cairan yang keluar dari dalam vagina selain berupa darah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah  mengetahui Hubungan lama pemakaian KB AKDR dengan kejadian Leukorea di Puskesmas Sosial Palembang. Desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif korelasi dengan pendekatan cross-sectional.  Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan total populasi yaitu ibu yang KB AKDR dengan lama pemakaian ≤ 3 bulan dan > 3 bulan yang berjumlah 56 orang. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Analisa data menggunakan uji Chi-Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa  mayoritas  ibu lama  menggunakan  KB AKDR  > 3 bulan adalah mengalami Leukorea fisiologis (58,1%). Hasil perhitungan dengan menggunakan Chi-Square diperoleh P value 0,009 dimana (0,010 < 0,05) yang berarti ada hubungan lama pemakaian KB AKDR dengan kejadian Leukorea. Ibu atau akseptor KB  lebih baik memperhatikan efek samping sebelum memutuskan untuk memilih KB agar tidak mempunyai efek yang bisa merugikan kesehatannya. Selain itu, petugas kesehatan terutama bidan juga tetap waspada dalam memberikan pelayanan khususnya tentang KB harus memperhatikan dampak yang akan muncul bagi akseptor, bila terjadi suatu yang merugikan bagi pasien maka mencarikan solusi yang tepat.  Dapat menjadi acuan yang bermanfaat bagi penelitian selanjutnya yang berkaitan dengan lama pemakaian KB AKDR dengan kejadian Leukorea.       ABSTRACT Labor AKDR is a small object made ​​of flexible plastic, has a coil of copper or contains hormones that is inserted into the vagina and have a yarn. In 3 months after inserted the complaint of leucorrhea incidence. Leucorrhea is a vaginal discharge other than blood. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between duration in using AKDR and leucorrhea incidence at Sosial Health Center Palembang. The study used descriptive correlation design with cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used total population of mothers who become family planning acceptors by AKDR method with duration of use ≤ 3 months and > 3 months, as many as 56 people.
