The Effect of Probable COVID-19 Infection on the National Football League Players' Performance and Endurance During the 2020 Season.

Objective The objective of this study was to assess whether the National Football League (NFL) players with probable coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the 2020 season experienced a decline in athletic performance and endurance. Methods All players who were listed on the NFL's COVID-19 Injury Reserve (COVID-IR) list were screened for inclusion. Players were included in the study if they had spent ≥10 days on the COVID-19 IR list (which indicated a positive PCR test based on the NFL COVID-19 policies), had played in at least two games before and after going on the IR list, and primarily played an offensive or defensive position.

Systematic literature review of immunoglobulin trends for anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies in multiple sclerosis.

Objective: To exp lore changes in immunoglobulin (Ig) levels for people with relapsing-multiple sclerosis (RMS) treated with ocrelizumab or ofatumumab and the relationship between Ig levels and infections.

Methods: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify clinical trials and real-world evidence (RWE) studies on Ig levels over time and studies on associations with infections for ocrelizumab and ofatumumab for people with RMS through 10 September 2021. Searches were conducted in Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, trial registries, and recent conference abstracts.

Suprascapular Neuropathy in Collegiate Tennis Player: A Case Report.

Suprascapular neuropathy can be seen in overhead athletes and should be considered when evaluating an overhead athlete presenting with shoulder pain and/or weakness. The suprascapular nerve innervates the supraspinatus and the infraspinatus, but dynamic entrapment as it passes under the spinoglenoid ligament at the spinoglenoid notch can lead to isolated denervation of the infraspinatus. Specific movements common in tennis cause tensioning and compression of the spinoglenoid ligament and may predispose players to dynamic entrapment at this location.

Strains Deficient in the Clp Chaperone-Protease Genes Have Reduced Virulence in a Murine Model of Pneumonia.

has emerged as a significant opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen and causative agent of nosocomial pneumonia especially in immunocompromised individuals in intensive care units. Recent advances to understand the contribution and function of virulence factors in its pathogenesis have begun to elucidate how this bacterium interacts with immune cells and its interesting mechanisms for multi-antibiotic resistance. Taking advantage of the availability of the AB5075 transposon mutant library, we investigated the impact of the Clp genes, which encode for a chaperone-protease responsible for the degradation of misfolded proteins, on bacterial virulence in a model of pneumonia using C57BL/6 mice and survival within J774.

Personal information and public health: Design tensions in sharing and monitoring wellbeing in pregnancy.

Mobile technologies are valuable tools for the self-report of mental health and wellbeing. These systems pose many unique design challenges which have received considerable attention within HCI, including the engagement of users. However, less attention has been paid to the use of personal devices in public health.

Online eLearning for undergraduates in health professions: A systematic review of the impact on knowledge, skills, attitudes and satisfaction.

Background: Health systems worldwide are facing shortages in health professional workforce. Several studies have demonstrated the direct correlation between the availability of health workers, coverage of health services, and population health outcomes. To address this shortage, online eLearning is increasingly being adopted in health professionals' education.

Offline eLearning for undergraduates in health professions: A systematic review of the impact on knowledge, skills, attitudes and satisfaction.

Background: The world is short of 7.2 million health-care workers and this figure is growing. The shortage of teachers is even greater, which limits traditional education modes.

Structural elements common to mitosis and apoptosis.

Both mitotic and apoptotic cells display hypercondensation of the chromatin and loss of the nuclear envelope (Lazebnik et al., 1993). Herein, we describe a third similarity between the two processes.
