"Change needs to start at home": A reflexive thematic analysis of girl athletes' and coaches' experiences of body image in New Delhi, India.

Despite the physical, psychological, and social health benefits of sport participation, multiple barriers keep girls and women on the margins of sport in India. Further, body image concerns are implicated globally as a hindrance to sports engagement among adolescents but are rarely acknowledged in India. Due to a lack of research, the unique restrictions to sport participation faced by girls in India are yet to be understood.

Secondary Stroke Prevention in People With Schizophrenia.

Background: People with schizophrenia are less likely than those without to be treated for cardiovascular disease. We aimed to evaluate the association between schizophrenia and secondary preventive care after ischemic stroke.

Methods And Results: In this retrospective cohort study, we used linked population-based administrative data to identify adults who survived 1 year after ischemic stroke hospitalization in Ontario, Canada between 2004 and 2017.

Host defence peptide plectasin targets bacterial cell wall precursor lipid II by a calcium-sensitive supramolecular mechanism.

Antimicrobial resistance is a leading cause of mortality, calling for the development of new antibiotics. The fungal antibiotic plectasin is a eukaryotic host defence peptide that blocks bacterial cell wall synthesis. Here, using a combination of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, atomic force microscopy and activity assays, we show that plectasin uses a calcium-sensitive supramolecular killing mechanism.

Treatment of Chronic Insomnia in Adults.

Insomnia affects 30% of the U.S. population, with 5% to 15% meeting criteria for chronic insomnia.

Impact of a specialized oral nutritional supplement on quality of life in older adults following hospitalization: Post-hoc analysis of the NOURISH trial.

Background & Aims: Both during and after hospitalization, nutritional care with daily intake of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) improves health outcomes and decreases risk of mortality in malnourished older adults. In a post-hoc analysis of data from hospitalized older adults with malnutrition risk, we sought to determine whether consuming a specialized ONS (S-ONS) containing high protein and beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) can also improve Quality of Life (QoL).

Methods: We analyzed data from the NOURISH trial-a randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center, double-blind study conducted in patients with congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The co-creation, initial piloting, and protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial of a coach-led positive body image intervention for girls in sport.

Background: Globally, girls disengage from sports at an earlier age and higher rate than boys. This is, in part, due to the unique body image challenges that girls face, relative to their male peers. Existing intervention efforts that aim to reduce girls' negative body image and movement experiences have proven marginally effective, if not ineffective.

A six-country study of coaches' perspectives of girls' body image concerns in sport and intervention preferences: Template analysis of survey and focus group data.

Coaches are a key influence of athletes' body image, but often feel ill-equipped to address body image concerns and can perpetuate harmful body ideals. Limited research has investigated coaches' attitudes and beliefs and few effective resources are available. The current study explored coaches' perspectives of body image among girls in sport, as well as their preferences for body image interventions.

How can we help you? A global investigation into girls' body image experiences in sport and intervention preferences.

Existing interventions that target the intersection of girls' body image and sports participation are marginally effective, which is, in part, due to methodological limitations pertaining to intervention development (i.e., not theoretically or stakeholder informed).

Using Chatbot Technology to Improve Brazilian Adolescents' Body Image and Mental Health at Scale: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Accessible, cost-effective, and scalable mental health interventions are limited, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where disparities between mental health needs and services are greatest. Microinterventions (ie, brief, stand-alone, or digital approaches) aim to provide immediate reprieve and enhancements in mental health states and offer a novel and scalable framework for embedding evidence-based mental health promotion techniques into digital environments. Body image is a global public health issue that increases young peoples' risk of developing more severe mental and physical health issues.

(MARGOT) Monocular Camera-Based Robot Grasping Strategy for Metallic Objects.

Robotic handling of objects is not always a trivial assignment, even in teleoperation where, in most cases, this might lead to stressful labor for operators. To reduce the task difficulty, supervised motions could be performed in safe scenarios to reduce the workload in these non-critical steps by using machine learning and computer vision techniques. This paper describes a novel grasping strategy based on a groundbreaking geometrical analysis which extracts diametrically opposite points taking into account surface smoothing (even those target objects that might conform highly complex shapes) to guarantee the uniformity of the grasping.

"They are men, they will be looking even if you put on pants or a sweatshirt": Girl athletes' and coaches' experiences of body image in Mexico City sport settings.

Body image concerns are a barrier for girls' participation in sports. Scarce evidence from Mexico suggests adolescents experience high levels of body dissatisfaction, and national statistics report low levels of physical activity among girls. This study aimed to explore girls' body image concerns and coaches' perceptions of girls' body image experiences in sport.

Targeting membrane-bound bacterial cell wall precursors: a tried and true antibiotic strategy in nature and the clinic.

Since Fleming's discovery of penicillin nearly a century ago, a bounty of natural product antibiotics have been discovered, many of which continue to be of clinical importance today. The structural diversity encountered among nature's repertoire of antibiotics is mirrored by the varying mechanisms of action by which they selectively target and kill bacterial cells. The ability for bacteria to construct and maintain a strong cell wall is essential for their robust growth and survival under a range of conditions.

Temporomandibular Disorders: Rapid Evidence Review.

Temporomandibular disorders affect between 5% and 12% of the population and present with symptoms such as headache, bruxism, pain at the temporomandibular joint, jaw popping or clicking, neck pain, tinnitus, dizziness, decreased hearing, and hyperacuity to sound. Common signs on physical examination include tenderness of the pterygoid muscles, temporomandibular joints, and temporalis muscles, and malocclusion of the jaw and crepitus. The diagnosis is based on history and physical examination; however, use of computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is recommended if the diagnosis is in doubt.

Association between multiple sclerosis and epilepsy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Seizures in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) are reported; however, the risk of epilepsy in adults with MS remains poorly defined.

Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the incidence and prevalence of epilepsy in adults (≥ 18 years) with MS compared to those without. We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to July 1, 2022 to include observational studies that reported the prevalence or incidence of epilepsy in adults with MS and a comparator group, consisting of adults without MS or the general population.

Development and preliminary validation of the Coach Self-Efficacy Body Image Scale (CSEBIS).

Body image concerns are a commonly cited reason for sport drop out. Researchers have begun to explore the influence of coaches on athletes' body image. However, no measure exists to accurately and easily assess interventions or predict coaches' body image supportive behaviors.

Utilization of Home Dialysis and Permanent Vascular Access at Dialysis Initiation Following a Structured CKD Education Program.

Rationale & Objective: Treatment options for kidney failure are complex, and the majority of patients transitioning to dialysis lack important information about treatment options and are not prepared to make informed decisions about their care. Correspondingly, the majority of patients who start dialysis default to in-center hemodialysis using a central venous catheter for vascular access as the initial modality; furthermore, hospital admissions, mortality, and infections are exceedingly common over the first few months.

Study Design: Matched retrospective cohort study.

The Body Esteem Scale for Adults and Adolescents: Translation, adaptation and psychometric validation among Brazilian adolescents.

A lack of rigorously validated body image measures for use among adolescents is hampering research in Brazil. This study aimed to validate a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Body Esteem Scale for Adults and Adolescents (BESAA; Mendelson et al., 2001).

A mixed-studies systematic review of the experiences of body image, disordered eating, and eating disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objectives: This systematic review assessed the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions on body image, disordered eating (DE), and eating disorder outcomes.

Methods: After registration on PROSPERO, a search was conducted for papers published between December 1, 2019 and August 1, 2021, using the databases PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, CINAHL Plus, AMED, MEDLINE, ERIC, EMBASE, Wiley, and ProQuest (dissertations and theses).

Results: Data from 75 qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies were synthesized using a convergent integrated approach and presented narratively within four themes: (1) disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) variability in the improvement or exacerbation of symptoms; (3) factors associated with body image and DE outcomes; (4) unique challenges for marginalized and underrepresented groups.

Diabetes-Related Foot Infections: Diagnosis and Treatment.

Diabetes-related foot infections occur in approximately 40% of diabetes-related foot ulcers and cause significant morbidity. Clinicians should consider patient risk factors (e.g.

Enantioselective -Claisen Rearrangement for the Synthesis of -Derived Prenylated Phenylpropanoids.

The development of the first enantioselective -Claisen rearrangement has been achieved. Using a chiral aluminum Lewis acid, illicinole is rearranged to give (-)-illicinone A (er 87:13), which can then be converted into more complex -derived prenylated phenylpropanoids. The absolute configurations of the natural products (+)-cycloillicinone and (-)-illicarborene A have been determined, and our results cast doubt on the enantiopurity of the natural samples.
