Preparation of athletes to begin a competition or enter mid-competition with the ability to reach peak performance immediately may be partly dependent on the efficacy of the warmup protocol. Previous research on flexible barbells reported significant differences in muscle activation when compared to steel barbells. The manufacturers of handheld flexible bars with a combined weight of 3.

Significant abnormalities in a transgenic mouse model (homozygous G608G mutation), specifically targeting the development of skull and facial bone indices through high-resolution CT scanning and cephalometric analysis.
Methods: Key measurements include bone thickness, skull volume, and cranial suture integrity.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effect of low-magnitude mechanical signals (LMMS) on preserving bone mineral density (BMD) in malnourished adolescents and young adults with anorexia nervosa over a 6-month period.
- A total of 837 female adolescents were screened, with 317 qualifying for the trial, and 40 participants completed it, using a placebo-controlled approach for the intervention.
- Results showed no significant changes in total volumetric BMD between the LMMS and placebo groups, though some positive changes were observed in cross-sectional area at the tibia site in the LMMS group.
Objective: We aimed to develop an algorithm that accurately identifies children with Down syndrome (DS) using administrative data.
Methods: We identified a cohort of children born between 2000 and 2017, enrolled in the Tennessee Medicaid Program (TennCare), who either had DS coded on their birth certificate or had a diagnosis listed using an International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code (suspected DS), and who received care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, a comprehensive academic medical center, in the United States. Children with suspected DS were defined as having DS if they had (a) karyotype-confirmed DS indicated on their birth certificate; (b) karyotype-pending DS indicated on their birth certificate (or just DS if test type was not specified) and at least two healthcare encounters for DS during the first 6 years of life; or (c) at least three healthcare encounters for DS, with the first and last encounter separated by at least 30 days, during the first six years of life.
