Effect of Large Versus Small Range of Motion in the Various Intensities of Eccentric Exercise-Induced Muscle Pain and Strength

International Journal of Exercise Science 14(7): 1-18, 2021. The purpose was to investigate eccentric (ECC) exercise with full range of motion (FROM) induce a greater magnitude of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), pain, functional limitations compared to partial range of motion (PROM; outer 60° of ROM). Thirty-four participants (men and women) aged between 18 and 30 years performed ECC exercise protocol on elbow and knee muscles (5 × 10 repetitions each session) using their 15%/25%/35% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) with PROM (week 2-4) and FROM (week 6-8). Two days a week, ECC exercises and remaining days the subjective and objective assessments were carried out (activities of daily living (ADL), pain (visual analogue scale (VAS), pain pressure threshold (PPT)), and MVIC. The ECC exercise with FROM showed moderate pain (0-3.5) in ADL (pulling a heavy object and descending stairs), VAS, and PPT for elbow extensors and knee flexors and showed a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) compared to PROM ECC protocol. The muscle strength was increased in FROM ECC exercise than PROM ECC exercise and ranged between 23.16% and 28.22%. ECC exercise performed with FROM induced a higher degree of DOMS, pain, ADL limitations than PROM. The study outcomes can be used for beginner sedentary older adults as well as young athletes

Maternal and fetal outcome in preterm premature rupture of membrane

Background: The objective was to study the maternal and fetal outcome in women with premature rupture of membranes.Methods: It was a prospective analytic hospital based study, study population include 100 obstetrics cases of singleton pregnancy with gestational age of 28 week to 36 week with spontaneous rupture of membranes over a period of 2 years, 100 pregnant women without PROM upto 36 completed week taken as control. Detailed clinical examination of the patient was done to see any co-morbidity. Data was collected using a performa. Detailed workup including history, general physical examination, abdominal and pelvic examination and relevant specific investigation were noted.Results: PROM occurs more frequently in primigravida compared to that of multigravida (p=0.679). Risk factors unknown factors 71% and history of coitus 5% UTI (p=0.001) which was highly significant, incidence of LSCS were found higher in PROM than in controls (p<0.05) which was statistically significant. Out of all vaginal deliveries, percentage of patients who had spontaneous labour were 69.86%, while 30.14% were induced, 60% of cases was spontaneous out of which 51% delivered successfully vaginally and, 9% landed in cesarean section. 16% were given prostaglandin gel out of which 10% delivered successfully. 8% were augmented by oxytocin of which 6% delivered successfully and 2% landed in cesarean section. Out of 100 cases studies, 24% accounted for respiratory distress syndrome, while 6% in control group. 12% septicemia in study group (p=0.001) which was highly significant value, while conjunctivitis, neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinaemia) and intraventricular haemorrhage accounted for 2%, 3%, and 2% each.Conclusions: Present study concluded that most common cause of PPROM was unknown. Most common maternal morbidity was puerperal fever and neonatal morbidity was respiratory distress. Maternal and fetal morbidity increases with increase in duration between rupture of membranes and delivery of fetus, so augmentation of labour should be done

Study of fetomaternal outcome in cases of premature rupture of membrane at tertiary care rural institute of Western Uttar Pradesh, India

Background: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is the rupture of the fetal membranes before the onset of labor. Preterm PROM complicates approximately 3 percent of pregnancies and leads to one third of preterm births. It increases the risk of prematurity and leads to a number of other perinatal and neonatal complications.Methods: This was a prospective study carried out at the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, UPUMS, Saifai from April 2018 to September 2018 (6 months study). Patients with Spontaneous rupture of membranes any time beyond 28th week of pregnancy, but before the onset of labour. Patients with following conditions were excluded from the study- meconium stain liquor, cord prolapse, antepartum haemorrhage, active infection at other sites, active liver disease.Results: A total of 103 cases of premature rupture of membrane (PROM) were recorded from April 2018 to September 2019 among 1523 admitted pregnant patients. Most of the patients 56 (54.36%) were delivered by caesarean section (C/S). Previous C/S, oligohydramnios, fetal distress, chorioamnionitis were the common indications for doing C/S. Forty-seven (45.63%) patients were delivered vaginally.Conclusions: Most of the affected women belongs to 20-24 years of age (53.39%). Term PROM was more in comparison to PPROM and most of them were multigravidae. Cesarean section rate was high. Most common complication was of subclinical urogenital infection (51.02%)

A Comparison between Two Intervals of Daily Total End Range Time for Treatment of Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Flexion Contracture Using an Elastic Tension Digital Neoprene Orthosis

Focusing on fingers with proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contractures, this study seeks to determine whether significant differences exist between the joint passive range of motion PROM improvement when receiving higher doses of daily total end range time (TERT) compared to those that receive lower doses. The study randomized a parallel group of fifty-seven fingers in fifty patients with concealed allocation and assessor blinding. Divided into two groups receiving different doses of daily total end range time with an elastic tension digital neoprene orthosis, they also participated in an identical exercise program. Patients reported orthosis wear time, and the researchers performed goniometric measurements at every session during the three-week period. The primary outcome related the time patients wore the orthosis to the degrees of improvement in PROM extension. Compared to group B (daily TERT of twelve hours), group A (TERT, twenty+ hours) showed a statistically significant greater improvement in PROM after three weeks of treatment. Group A improved by a mean of 29° compared to group B's mean of 19° improvement. This study provides evidence that a higher dose of daily TERT can generate better results in the treatment of the proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contractures

Resource Usage Analysis from a Different Perspective on MOOC Dropout

We present a novel learning analytics approach, for analyzing the usage of resources in MOOCs. Our target stakeholders are the course designers who aim to evaluate their learning materials. In order to gain insight into the way educational resources are used, we view dropout behaviour in an atypical manner: Instead of using it as an indicator of failure, we use it as a mean to compute other features. For this purpose, we developed a prototype, called RUAF, that can be applied to the data format provided by FutureLearn. As a proof of concept, we perform a study by applying this tool to the interaction data of learners from four MOOCs. We also study the quality of our computations, by comparing them to existing process mining approaches. We present results that highlight patterns showing how learners use resources. We also show examples of practical conclusions a course designer may benefit from.Comment: 30 pages, 40 figure

Comparison of active stretching technique in males with normal and limited hamstring flexibility

Objective (1) to analyse the accumulative effects of a 12-week active stretching program on hip flexion passive range of motion (HF-PROM), and (2) to compare whether participants with different PROM baseline scores (normal and limited hamstring flexibility) respond in the same way to stretching. Design Repeated measures design. Setting Controlled laboratory environment. Participants 138 males were categorized according to hamstring flexibility in the unilateral passive straight-leg raise test (PSLR) and assigned to one of two groups: normal hamstring flexibility (≥80°) or limited hamstring flexibility (<80°). In each group, participants were randomly distributed into one of two treatment subgroups: (a) control or (b) active stretching. The active stretching subgroups performed 12 weeks of flexibility training, the control subgroups did not stretch. Main Outcome Measures HF-PROM was determined through the PSLR test. Results Both stretching subgroups significantly improved (p < 0.01) their HF-PROM from baseline. The control subgroups did not. Conclusions 12 weeks of an active stretching program performed 3 days per week with a daily stretch dose of 180 s improved HF-PROM in both populations (normal and limited hamstring flexibility). The stretching program was equally effective in terms of absolute improvement values for males with normal and limited hamstring flexibility
