CUMULATIVE TRAUMA INJURIES IN ROWING

The objective of this study was to describe several common musculoskeletal injuries associated with rowing and attempt to identify contributing factors. In a structured interview case series, 8 (5 males and 3 females) rowers ranging from novice to Olympic competitors were asked specific questions regarding previous sport-related injures and training methods. Results indicated a high prevalence of specific musculoskeletal injuries in rowing. Typical injuries included: lumbar and thoracic back pain, stress fracture of the ninth rib, chondromalacia of the patella and extensor tenosynovitis of the forearm. Heavy weight lifting, especially squats, was found to be an aggravating factor. As well, a warm-up and cool down were not common components of on-water training and considered a contributing factor

The geological evolution and mineralised environments of the Tasman Geosyncline

From introduction: The Tasman Geosyncline covers the eastern part of the continent of Australia, an area of over 2 million km'. The area has been a major source of Australian gold and tin production, and though it contains important base metal sulphide deposits, these are overshadowed in scale by the very large stratabound Proterozoic deposits (for example, Mt Isa, Broken Hill and McArthur River). This dissertation deals with the metallic mineral deposits of the Tasman Geosyncline, and as such does not include the extensive post Palaeozoic continental successions, with their important coal reserves, that overlie the deformed geosyncl i nal sequences

Accelerometry For Paddling And Rowing

In paddling and rowing, analysis of the acceleration, velocity and impulse of the system (equipment and athlete) can aid in the appraisal of the stroke (technique) and the usefulness of equipment as it relates to each performer. To this point in time, the primary source of analysis has been through the use of cinema and video. Recently at the Sport Science Laboratory, Dalhousie University a convenient method of obtaining on-water acceleration data has been developed. The triaxial g analyst (Valentine Research Inc.), although created specifically for use in land vehicles, can record the horizontal linear acceleration, horizontal lateral acceleration and provide a friction profile of any moving aquatic craft. Synchronization with video allows the coach and athlete to analyze data of one stroke, or a series of strokes, or a complete race. Acceleration data from the g-analyst can be transferred to virtually any PC, and programs easily written to determine velocity and impulse. The g analyst and power source apparatus is light (l kg), easy to handle, and relatively inexpensive. Little room is required to house the apparatus and it does not interfere with the athletes in the canoe, kayak, rowing shell, or scull. Onwater accelerometry using the g analyst may prove to be an important analytical tool for detection of movement faults and for matching equipment to athlete(s) in paddling and rowing

Dynamic treatment regimes: Technical challenges and applications

Dynamic treatment regimes are of growing interest across the clinical sciences because these regimes provide one way to operationalize and thus inform sequential personalized clinical decision making. Formally, a dynamic treatment regime is a sequence of decision rules, one per stage of clinical intervention. Each decision rule maps up-to-date patient information to a recommended treatment. We briefly review a variety of approaches for using data to construct the decision rules. We then review a critical inferential challenge that results from nonregularity, which often arises in this area. In particular, nonregularity arises in inference for parameters in the optimal dynamic treatment regime; the asymptotic, limiting, distribution of estimators are sensitive to local perturbations. We propose and evaluate a locally consistent Adaptive Confidence Interval (ACI) for the parameters of the optimal dynamic treatment regime. We use data from the Adaptive Pharmacological and Behavioral Treatments for Children with ADHD Trial as an illustrative example. We conclude by highlighting and discussing emerging theoretical problems in this area

Arrestin-like proteins mediate ubiquitination and endocytosis of the yeast metal transporter Smf1

Many plasma membrane proteins in yeast are ubiquitinated and endocytosed, but how they are recognized for modification has remained unknown. Here, we show that the manganese transporter Smf1 is endocytosed when cells are exposed to cadmium ions, that this endocytosis depends on Rsp5-dependent ubiquitination of specific lysines and that it also requires phosphorylation at nearby sites. This phosphorylation is, however, constitutive rather than stress-induced. Efficient ubiquitination requires Ecm21 or Csr2, two members of a family of arrestin-like yeast proteins that contain several PY motifs and bind to Rsp5. Ecm21 also binds to phosphorylated Smf1, providing a link between Rsp5 and its substrate. PY motif-containing arrestin-like proteins are found in many species, including humans, and might have a general role as ubiquitin ligase adaptors
