Factors associated with the implementation of the 5As model of smoking cessation support during pregnancy: A scoping review.

Introduction: The prevalence of smoking among pregnant women is the highest in the European region, making smoking cessation a public health priority. In order to address this, pregnant smokers need to be better supported by their healthcare professionals in their attempts to quit smoking. The 5As model, which is a psychosocial intervention, seems to be effective in this specific population.

Analysis of Factors Associated With Continued Cooling of Core Temperature After Prolonged Cold-Water Swimming.

Purpose: To assess the factors associated with continued cooling duration of core temperature (Tcore°) after prolonged outdoor cold-water swimming.

Methods: We designed a cohort study among swimmers participating in an outdoor cold-water swim during qualifying for the English Channel Swim. The day before the event, the participants completed a demographic questionnaire, and body composition was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (mBCA 525, Seca).

Contribution of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of median nerve lesion after endoscopic carpal tunnel release.

Deterioration of pre-existing signs or appearance of a nerve deficit raise difficult problems during the complicated course following endoscopic carpal tunnel release. One possible explanation is transient aggravation of nerve compression by passage of the endoscopy material, but these signs may also be due to incomplete section of the flexor retinaculum or an iatrogenic nerve lesion. Each case raises the problem of surgical revision.

MR assessment of red marrow distribution and composition in the proximal femur: correlation with clinical and laboratory parameters.

Objective: To correlate the MR appearance of the proximal femur marrow with clinical and blood parameters.

Design And Patients: The proportion of the femoral neck surface area occupied by red marrow was determined on T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images of the hip in a series of 120 subjects, aged from 15 to 75 years, with ten females and ten males per decade, and correlated with clinical data. This parameter and the bulk T1 values of femoral red marrow were determined in 30 other subjects 25-46 years of age and correlated with their blood parameters.

MR imaging of the acetabular labrum: variations in 200 asymptomatic hips.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the MR appearance of the acetabular labrum in asymptomatic subjects and correlate the MR appearance with age and sex.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated high-resolution T1-weighted spin-echo coronal MR images of one hip in each of 200 asymptomatic individuals (84 men, 116 women; mean age, 44 years old; range, 15-82 years old). The labral shapes (triangular, round, flat, or absent), the intralabral signal intensity changes, and the possible extension of the intralabral signal intensity changes to the labral surface were assessed on two sections for each subject and correlated with age and sex.
