Article Synopsis
  • The systematic review investigates how carbohydrate (CHO) intake affects soccer players' physical performance, cognitive function, and muscle glycogen levels, as well as possible differences between male and female players.
  • A search of scientific literature found 61 relevant articles, adhering to established review guidelines, which led to the discovery that CHO consumption enhances speed, sprinting ability, and mental performance, while there is no clear impact on skills like dribbling and passing.
  • It is advised that players consume specific amounts of CHO before, during, and after matches to maintain performance and recovery, particularly noting that female players may misjudge their energy needs and should adjust their CHO intake accordingly.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates mortality rates and risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in Colombia over a year, revealing limited data in low- and middle-income countries.
  • Out of 524 COPD patients, 18.1% died, with an average age of 69.7; the research identified several risk factors including age, exposure to wood smoke, and existing chronic conditions like heart failure and kidney disease.

We investigate the generation of an elliptical perfect optical vortex (EPOV) beam through the optical Fourier transformation of an elliptical Bessel-Gaussian beam and derive an analytical expression for its complex field amplitude. Our analysis includes the examination of the beam's propagation in free-space and the influence of topological charge on its transmission. The EPOV beam's propagation in free-space can be categorized into non-diffracting and diffracting stages.
