ASSOCIATION BETWEEN POSSIBLE BRUXISM, SLEEP QUALITY, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS BY GENDER. A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY IN A SPANISH SAMPLE.

Objective: To explore the associations between possible bruxism, sleep quality, depression, anxiety and stress, with a specific focus on gender differences.

Material And Methods: An online questionnaire was administered to 400 Spanish-speaking participants, without cognitive impairments. The survey included the possible bruxism self-perception test of Lobbezoo et al.

Prioritize proximal interphalangeal joint extension, a cadaver study clarifying PIPJ neutral position and joint capsular behavior.

Background: Dysmobility of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) often arises following trauma, inflammation, or surgery, leading to joint stiffness and reduced range of motion. This condition results from capsular shortening and the development of arthrofibrosis, which restricts mobility and contributes to contracture formation.

Purpose: This study investigates the influence of joint position on capsular space volume distribution in the PIPJ, hypothesizing that the mid-flexion position maximizes capsular space, contributing to ligament shortening and arthrofibrosis.

Tactical Behaviors in Men's and Women's Middle-Distance Global Championship Track Finals.

Purpose: To analyze tactical behaviors associated with performance in track middle-distance global championship finals.

Methods: Finalists' season-best finishing race time, 100-m section times, and intermediate positions were obtained from 800- and 1500-m men's and women's finals in 2 Olympic Games and 5 World Championships. Differences between medalists, fourth- to eighth-ranked (T8), and ninth- to 12th/13th-ranked finalists in relative performance (relative to season-best), race time, and section times were determined.

The Sublingua of and : Only a Cleaning Function?

The sublingua is an anatomical structure located under the tongue. This rare organ can be present in some animals as a rudimentary structure, but among prosimian primates, such as lemurs and lorises, it is fully developed. In addition to the sublingua, prosimians have modified lower incisors and canines called "dental comb".

Performance and Psychophysiological Effects of Light-Guided Pacing During a 5000-m Run.

Purpose: In world-class middle- and long-distance running races, a Wavelight signal has recently been used as a pacing guide for setting records. The aim of the present study was to compare performance and psychophysiological effects between light-guided, drafting, and nonassisted pacing conditions in distance runners.

Methods: Fifteen male middle- and long-distance runners of national and regional standard ran three 5000-m time trials in a counterbalanced order with the following pacing distribution: the first 4000 m and last 1000 m were covered at submaximal and maximal intensities, respectively.
