Relación entre la calidad del sueño y el riesgo de lesión en jugadores de baloncesto sub-22. Un proyecto de investigación

[Resumo] Introdución: As lesións deportivas en idades novas son unha das principais causas polas que as persoas deixan de realizar actividade física. O elevado número de lesións en baloncesto é resultado da etioloxía multifactorial e as complexas interaccións que manteñen os diferentes factores de risco entre si. Consecuentemente a comprensión destas interaccións e a educación do deportista con información de calidade polo fisioterapeuta é fundamental como factor preventivo destas lesións. Existen poucos estudos que indagaran sobre a influencia de factores de risco psicosociais como a calidade do sono en deportistas novos, e non existe ningún estudo que o fixera en xogadores de baloncesto. Obxectivo: Comprobar se unha mala calidade do sono aumenta as probabilidades de lesión en xogadores de baloncesto sub22 en comparación con aqueles que presentan unha boa calidade do sono. Material e método: Plantéxase un estudo observacional prospectivo dirixido a xogadores de baloncesto sub-22 (9-22 anos). Avaliarase a calidade do sono por medio da versión validada para poboación moza do Índice de Calidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (PSQI). Todos os participantes serán valorados ao comezo do estudo e ao final do mesmo. Farase un seguimento mensual durante os 8 meses que durará o estudo. Complementariamente os participantes cubrirán un diario de descanso, baseado no PSQI, de forma semanal para que os datos a cerca do descanso se asemexen o máximo posible á realidade. Os datos serán analizados mediante o software estadístico SPSS. Valorarase en primeiro lugar a calidade do sono do conxunto de suxeitos durante a tempada e de forma mensual, para ver se cumpren coas recomendacións da Academia Americana de Medicina do Sono (AASM). Posteriormente dividirase a mostra nun grupo A (xogadores non lesionados) e grupo B (xogadores que sufriron algunha lesión) e se calculará a incidencia de lesións en ambos, así como o risco relativo de lesionarse en relación coa calidade do sono.[Abastract] Background. Sports injuries at an early age are one of the main reasons why people stop doing physical activity. The high number of injuries in basketball is a result of the multifactorial etiology and the complex interactions between the different risk factors. Consequently, the understanding of these interactions and the education of the athlete with quality information by the physiotherapist is fundamental as a preventive factor for these injuries. There are few studies that inquire about the influence of psychosocial risk factors such as sleep quality in young athletes, and there is no study that did so in basketball players. Objective. Check if poor sleep quality increases the chances of injury in sub-22 basketball players compared to those who present a good quality of sleep Material and Method. A prospective observational study aimed at sub-22 basketball players (9-22 years) is proposed. The quality of sleep is evaluated with the version validated for young population of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). All participants will be assessed at the beginning of the study and at the end of it. There will be a monthly follow-up during the 8 months that the study will last. Complementarily the participants will cover a rest diary, based on the PSQI, on a weekly basis so that the data about the rest are as close as possible to reality. The data will be analyzed using the statistical software SPSS. The quality of the sleep of the group of subjects during the season and on a monthly basis will be evaluated first to see if they comply with the recommendations of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). Subsequently the sample will be divided into a group A (players not injured) and group B (players who suffered an injury) and the incidence of injuries in both will be calculated, as well as the relative risk of injury in relation to the quality of sleep.[Resumen] Introducción: Las lesiones deportivas en edades tempranas son una de las principales causas por las que las personas dejan de realizar actividad física.

Bioinspired Magneto-optical Bacteria

“Two-in-one” magneto-optical bacteria have been produced using the probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum for the first time. We took advantage of two features of bacteria to synthesize this novel and bifunctional nanostructure: their metal-reducing properties, to produce gold nanoparticles, and their capacity to incorporate iron oxide nanoparticles at their external surface. The magneto-optical bacteria survive the process and behave as a magnet at room temperature.This work was funded by Biosearch S.A.

A multinational Delphi consensus to end the COVID-19 public health threat

Despite notable scientific and medical advances, broader political, socioeconomic, and behavioural factors continue to undercut the response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic1,2. This Delphi study convened a diverse, multidisciplinary panel of 386 academic, health, NGO, government and other experts in COVID-19 response from 112 countries and territories to recommend specific actions to end this persistent global public health threat. The panel developed a set of 41 consensus statements and 57 recommendations to governments, health systems, industry, and other key stakeholders across six domains: communication; health systems; vaccination; prevention; treatment and care; and inequities. In the wake of nearly three years of ragmented global and national responses, it is instructive to note that three of the highest-ranked recommendations call for the adoption of whole-of-society and whole-of-government approaches1, while maintaining proven prevention measures using a vaccines-plus approach2 that employs a range of public health and financial support measures to complement vaccination. Other recommendations with at least 99% combined agreement advise governments and other stakeholders to improve communication, rebuild public trust, and engage communities3 in the management of pandemic responses. The findings of the study, which have been further endorsed by organisations globally, include points of unanimous agreement, as well as six recommendations with >5% disagreement, that provide health and social policy actions to address inadequacies in the pandemic response and help bring this public health threat to an end

A multinational Delphi consensus to end the COVID-19 public health threat

Abstract Despite notable scientific and medical advances, broader political, socioeconomic and behavioural factors continue to undercut the response to the COVID-19 pandemic 1,2 . Here we convened, as part of this Delphi study, a diverse, multidisciplinary panel of 386 academic, health, non-governmental organization, government and other experts in COVID-19 response from 112 countries and territories to recommend specific actions to end this persistent global threat to public health. The panel developed a set of 41 consensus statements and 57 recommendations to governments, health systems, industry and other key stakeholders across six domains: communication; health systems; vaccination; prevention; treatment and care; and inequities. In the wake of nearly three years of fragmented global and national responses, it is instructive to note that three of the highest-ranked recommendations call for the adoption of whole-of-society and whole-of-government approaches 1 , while maintaining proven prevention measures using a vaccines-plus approach 2 that employs a range of public health and financial support measures to complement vaccination. Other recommendations with at least 99% combined agreement advise governments and other stakeholders to improve communication, rebuild public trust and engage communities 3 in the management of pandemic responses. The findings of the study, which have been further endorsed by 184 organizations globally, include points of unanimous agreement, as well as six recommendations with >5% disagreement, that provide health and social policy actions to address inadequacies in the pandemic response and help to bring this public health threat to an end
