The Difference

  The objective of the present cross-sectional study was to quantify the effect size of overweight on the results of speed-agility in adolescents and to report percentile tables based on sex, age and BMI. Was hypothesized that the effect size obtained from the difference between normal-weight and overweight youth would be equal to or greater than the differences between sexes within the same age group. A total of 10.439 Spanish adolescents aged 13.72 ± 1.42 years from 42 secondary schools participated in the research. Speed-agility was evaluated using the 4x10 m test. The effect size was analysed using the adjusted Hedges’ ğ. The findings regarding sex show that 92.74% and 86.98% of normal-weight and overweight girls, respectively, attained lower speed-agility than boys. With regard to body composition, the percentages are also high, but they are a bit lower than those for sex. So, 77.26% and 70.52% of overweight boys and girls, respectively, showed lower speed-agility than their normal-weight peers. The differential effect size between boys and girls is higher than between normal-weight and overweight adolescents in speed-agility. In spite of this, the results suggest that BMI should be taken into account in assessing the speed-agility of young people. Resumen. El objetivo de este estudio transversal fue cuantificar el tamaño del efecto del sobrepeso en los resultados de velocidad-agilidad en adolescentes e informar las tablas de percentiles en función del sexo, la edad y el IMC. Se planteó la hipótesis de que el tamaño del efecto obtenido entre los jóvenes con sobrepeso y normopeso sería igual o mayor que las diferencias entre los sexos dentro del mismo grupo de edad. Un total de 10.439 adolescentes españoles de 13.72 ± 1.42 años de 42 centros de educación secundaria participaron en la investigación. Se evaluó la velocidad-agilidad utilizando la prueba de 4x10 m. El tamaño del efecto se analizó ajustando por la prueba ğ de Hedges. Los resultados con respecto al sexo muestran que el 92.74% y el 86.98% de las niñas con sobrepeso y normopeso, respectivamente, alcanzaron una velocidad-agilidad menor que los niños. Con respecto a la composición corporal, los porcentajes también son altos, pero son un poco más bajos que los del sexo. El 77.26% y 70.52% de los niños y niñas con sobrepeso, respectivamente, mostraron menor velocidad-agilidad que sus pares de peso normal. Como conclusión, el tamaño del efecto diferencial entre niños y niñas es mayor que entre adolescentes con normopeso y sobrepeso en velocidad-agilidad. A pesar de esto, los resultados sugieren que se debe tener en cuenta el IMC al evaluar la velocidad-agilidad de los jóvenes.

Objectives: To find out the frequency of hyponatremia in cases of hepaticencephalopathy. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Department of Medicine DGKhan Hospital, DG Khan. Period: July 2016 to December 2016. Material and Methods: Total80 patients with hepatic encephalopathy either male or female were selected for this study.Hyponatremia was assessed in these selected patients. Results: Mean age of the patientswas 38.34 ± 11.140 years. Hyponatremia was found in 31 (39%) patients. Hyponatremia wasnoted in 13 (41.94%) patients of age group 18-36 years and 18 (36.73%) patients of age group37-55 years. Statistically insignificant association of hyponatremia with age was seen with pvalue 0.6467. Hyponatremia was found in 21 (40.38%) male patients and 10 (35.71%) femalepatients. But the difference of frequency of hyponatremia between male and female patients wasstatistically insignificant with p value 0.8109. Conclusion: Results of this study showed a higherpercentage of hyponatremia in patients with HE. Male were more victim of HE as compared tofemale but insignificant association of hyponatremia with gender is noted. Findings of presentstudy showed that there is insignificant association of hyponatremia with grade of HE, socioeconomicstatus, area of residence and age.

AbstrakStreptococcus β hemolyticus Grup A atau yang disebut juga Streptococcus pyogenes merupakan salah satu bakteri patogen yang banyak menginfeksi manusia.Bakteri ini dapat ditemukan sebagai carrier di saluran pernafasan terutama pada anak-anak, tidak menimbulkan penyakit tetapi berisiko untuk menyebarkan penyakit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan jumlah carrier  bakteri Streptococcus β hemolyticus Grup A pada murid berdasarkan perbedaan umur dan jenis kelamin. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif cross-sectional dengan menggunakan sampel seluruh murid SD Negeri 13 Padang. Hasil penelitian adalah didapatkan 2 orang murid yang menderita carrier, yaitu pada kelompok usia>8-9 tahun dan >11 tahun. Berdasarkan jenis kelamin yang terdiri dari 54 orang laki-laki dan 50 orang perempuan, didapatkan 2 orang carrier yaitu hanya pada anak laki-laki. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa carrier bakteri Streptococcus β hemolyticus Group  A terdapat pada anak usia tersebut karena masih kurangnya pengetahuan tentang kebersihan. Carrier yang ditemukan hanya pada anak laki-laki kemungkinan disebabkan mereka lebih sering bermain di luar rumah dan terpapar dengan berbagai bakteri patogen dan kurang memperhatikan kebersihan diri.Kata kunci: carrier, streptococcus β hemolyticus grup A, umur, jenis kelamin AbstractGroup A Streptococcus β hemolyticus or also called Streptococcus pyogenes is one of many pathogenic bacteria that infect humans. These bacteria can be found as a carrier in the respiratory tract especially in children, do not cause disease but can be a risk for spreading the disease. This objective of this study was to determine the amount of the carrier of bacteria group A Streptococcus β hemolyticus based on age and gender differences. This research is a descriptive cross - sectional study using a sample of all students of SD Negeri 13 Padang. Based on the age of 104 students found that students who suffer 2 carrier, which is in the age group>8-9 years and>11 years. Based on gender which consisted of 54 boys and 50 girls, found that only 2 people carrier on boys. The results of this study indicate that the carrier of bacteria Group A Streptococcus β hemolyticus in the childhood because of the lack of knowledge about hygiene. Carrier found only in boys probably becaused of often play outdoors and were exposed to a wide variety of pathogenic bacteria and usually pay less attention to his personal hygiene.Keywords: carrier, group A streptococcus β hemolyticus, ages, gender
