Web-Based Physical Activity Interventions to Promote Resilience and Mindfulness Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Pilot Study.

College students faced unique challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementing a physical activity intervention can help support the physical and mental health of college students. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an aerobic-strength training exercise intervention () and a mindful exercise intervention () in improving resilience and mindfulness among college students.

Perceived social support and COVID-19 impact on quality of life in college students: an observational study.

Background: The purposes of this study were to assess the current status of perceived social support and COVID-19 impact on quality of life, to investigate the association of perceived social support with the COVID-19 impact on quality of life, and to examine differences in perceived social support between better and worse COVID-19 impact on quality of life for the total sample and by gender.

Methods: Participants included 1296 university students (399 male, 871 female, 22 transgender, non-binary, or other) with a mean age of 21.5 (SD  =  2.

Enhancing Physical Activity and Psychological Well-Being in College Students during COVID-19 through WeActive and WeMindful Interventions.

This study aimed to examine the immediate and short-term effects of aerobic and resistance training (WeActive) and mindful exercise (WeMindful) virtual interventions in improving physical activity (PA) and resilience among college students. Participants were 55 students who were randomly assigned to either the WeActive group ( = 31) or the WeMindful group ( = 24). Both groups attended two virtual 30 min aerobic and resistance training sessions (WeActive) or mindful exercise sessions (WeMindful) per week for eight weeks.

The Impact of Web-Based Physical Activity Interventions on Depression and Anxiety Among College Students: Randomized Experimental Trial.

Background: Depression and anxiety are growing issues for college students, with both aerobic resistance training and mindfulness yoga exercises known to be effective in reducing symptoms and severity. However, no known research is available comparing these 2 depression and anxiety interventions simultaneously and in a web-based environment.

Objective: This study aims to determine the effects of a web-based aerobic resistance exercise intervention (WeActive) and a web-based yoga mindfulness exercise intervention (WeMindful) on depression and anxiety symptoms in college students.

Psychological predictors of physical activity intensity among college students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of mental health, subjective well-being, and the impact of COVID-19 on quality of life with PA intensity among college students. : The sample included 1262 college students from a large Midwestern research university (mean age = 21.5 ± 3.

Feasibility and Effectiveness of the Web-Based WeActive and WeMindful Interventions on Physical Activity and Psychological Well-Being.

This study is aimed at examining the feasibility and effectiveness of aerobic and resistance training (WeActive) and mindful exercise (WeMindful) interventions in improving physical activity (PA), psychological well-being (PWB), and subjective vitality among college students. Participants in this study were 77 college students who were randomly assigned to either the WeActive group ( = 43) or the WeMindful group ( = 28). The WeActive group attended two 30-minute aerobic and resistance training sessions per week, and the WeMindful group attended two 30-minute yoga and mindful exercise sessions per week for eight weeks.

PITUITARY EVALUATION IN PATIENTS WITH LOW PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN.

Objective: To evaluate pituitary function in men with a low screening prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of ≤0.1 ng/mL and test the hypothesis that low PSA is associated with hypogonadism alone or other hormone deficiency.

Methods: This was a case-control study evaluating the rates of hypogonadism and low insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 in a cohort of men with low or normal screening PSA level.

Who Is Ordering MRIs in Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients?

The role of MRI in the workup of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients remains controversial. Breast MRI detects additional disease, but this has not translated into improved outcomes. In light of a dramatic rise in MRI use, we investigated patterns of MRI ordering for newly diagnosed breast cancer.

Robotic Single-Site and Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery in Gynecology: Clinical Outcomes and Cost Analysis of a Matched Case-Control Study.

Study Objective: To assess the clinical outcomes and costs associated with robotic single-site (RSS) surgery compared with those of conventional laparoscopy (CL) in gynecology.

Design: Retrospective case-control study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting: University-affiliated community hospital.

Does Better Specimen Orientation and a Simplified Grading System Promote More Reliable Histologic Interpretation of Serrated Colon Polyps in the Community Practice Setting? Results of a Nationwide Study.

Introduction: Colonoscopic surveillance guidelines for serrated polyps (SPs) are predicated upon the histologic characteristics of the index polyp. However, discrimination between SP subtypes [hyperplastic polyps vs. sessile serrated adenoma/polyps (SSA/P)] is often unreliable.

Safety, feasibility and learning curve of robotic single-site surgery in gynecology.

Background: Robotic single-site (RSS) surgery has emerged as a novel minimally invasive approach in gynecology.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive RSS gynecologic procedures undertaken between October 2013 and March 2014.

Results: The 25 RSS completed cases consisted of 11 adnexal and 14 hysterectomy cases of which three included pelvic lymphadenectomies.

Randomized controlled double-blind trial of transversus abdominis plane block versus trocar site infiltration in gynecologic laparoscopy.

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block reduces postoperative pain when compared with trocar site infiltration of bupivacaine in gynecological laparoscopy.

Study Design: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial using patients as their own controls. Women undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy using a 4-port symmetrical technique were randomly assigned to right- or left-sided TAP block using 30 mL of 0.

Total laparoscopic hysterectomy versus da Vinci robotic hysterectomy: is using the robot beneficial?

Objective: To compare the outcomes of total laparoscopic to robotic approach for hysterectomy and all indicated procedures after controlling for surgeon and other confounding factors.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of all consecutive cases of total laparoscopic and da Vinci robotic hysterectomies between August 2007 and July 2009 by two gynecologic oncology surgeons. Our primary outcome measure was operative procedure time.
