The association of physical activity duration and intensity on emotional intelligence in 10-13 year-old Children.

Previous studies have shown that Physical Activity (PA) has a positive association with emotional health and intelligence in adolescents but none have focused on the relationship of PA duration and intensity on Emotional Intelligence (EI). The purpose of this study was to cross-sectionally assess the association of PA measures on overall EI and its domains in a cohort of 2 029 adolescents aged 10-13 years of age in the National Longitudinal Survey for Children and Youth (NLSCY) from Canada. Multivariable linear regression analysis of EI was adjusted for age, sex, annual household income, and health status.

Changes in Physical Activity Associated With a Multicomponent Weight-Loss Randomized Controlled Trial for Youth With Intellectual Disabilities.

Youth with intellectual disabilities engage in low levels of physical activity (PA). An aim of this family-based weight-loss behavioral intervention (FBBI) trial was to increase and sustain PA in these youth. Accelerometry data were available from 21 individuals with intellectual disabilities, age 14-22 years.

Gonadotropin releasing hormone analogs as part of controlled ovarian stimulation.

I describe how we identified the need to block the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge when trying to control the processes of luteinization and ovulation within the clinic. The first step, in fact, was using ovarian ultrasound evaluation of follicular development in the natural cycle (published in 1979) and then when the ovary was stimulated with exogenous follicle stimulating hormone. We observed that induced multiple follicular development often led to "premature" LH surges-which occurred before the leading follicle had achieved normal preovulatory dimensions.

FSH administration at 12-hour intervals for the first 2 days, combined with mandatory GnRH-agonist trigger and blastocyst vitrification in women (<80Kg) with high AMH levels, results in higher cumulative live birth rates and is safer.

We aimed to determine if a programme change to 12 hourly injections of FSH (150 IU per injection) for the first 2 days of stimulation in women with high ovarian reserve (AMH ≥ 30 pmol/L), followed by 24 hourly injections, would elicit increased earlier follicular recruitment, higher egg yields and blastocyst embryos for cryopreservation, leading to potential higher cumulative pregnancy rates, than conventional daily injections throughout. For safety reasons, the approach required mandatory cryopreservation of all blastocysts (mFET group;  = 74), after ovulation trigger with GnRH-agonist, in GnRH-antagonist controlled cycles. The 'Comparator group' ( = 91) comprised women with the same high AMH levels treated with the same base dose of FSH, with the aim of fresh blastocyst transfer and cryopreservation of supernumerary embryos, treated over the preceding 2 years.

Outcomes of Mayo Clinic reBoot camps for postimplementation training in the electronic health record.

Objective: After a new electronic health record (EHR) was implemented at Mayo Clinic, a training program called reBoot Camp was created to enhance ongoing education in response to needs identified by physician leaders.

Materials And Methods: A reBoot camp focused on EHR topics pertinent to ambulatory care was offered from April 2018 through June 2020. There were 37 2-day sessions and 43 1-day sessions, with 673 unique participants.

Physical environmental designs in residential care to improve quality of life of older people.

Background: The demand for residential aged care is increasing due to the ageing population. Optimising the design or adapting the physical environment of residential aged care facilities has the potential to influence quality of life, mood and function.

Objectives: To assess the effects of changes to the physical environment, which include alternative models of residential aged care such as a 'home-like' model of care (where residents live in small living units) on quality of life, behaviour, mood and depression and function in older people living in residential aged care.

German Translation, Linguistic Validation, and Cultural Adaptation of the Environmental Audit Tool-High Care.

Background: In dementia-specific care, the design of the environment is regarded as an influential element in the support and maintenance of skills and can improve the quality of life of residents. To date, there is no valid instrument in the German-speaking countries with which the quality of the physical environment in residential long-term care facilities can be systematically assessed.

Objective: To report the translation, linguistic validation, cultural adaptation, and content validity evaluation of the Australian Environmental Audit Tool-High Care in preparation for use in German nursing homes.

A family-based weight loss randomized controlled trial for youth with intellectual disabilities.

Background: Scant data exist on weight loss interventions for youth with intellectual disabilities (ID).

Objective: To compare weight loss among youth with ID randomized to a 6-month, family-based behavioural intervention (FBBI) or a waitlist and to compare weight loss among youth who completed a 6-month maintenance (FBBI-M) intervention to a control group (FBBI-C).

Methods: Youth with ID and overweight/obesity, aged 14-22 years, were randomized to the FBBI or to a waitlist and subsequently randomized to a maintenance intervention or a control group.

Japanese Translation and Validation of the Environmental Assessment Tool-Higher Care.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to translate the Environmental Assessment Tool-Higher Care (EAT-HC) into Japanese and validate its use in small-scale group living facilities in Japan.

Background: Environment of a facility is shown to improve its residents' quality of life (QOL). Japan's "welfare-based nursing homes for the elderly" are gradually shifting to a small-scale group living concept called group care units (GCUs).

Anti-Müllerian Hormone: A Personal View of the Empowering Analyte.

Circulating Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) represents the total number of granulosa cells in the ovaries and is therefore a direct measure of the number of growing follicles within the ovaries. The close agreement of the main commercial assays for circulating AMH is allowing improved validation of the test in numerous circumstances. Consequently, it can be explored in all circumstances where ovarian activity may be relevant, and thereby bring improved guidance to the choices doctors and patients need to make in their reproductive lives.

The Development and Reliability of the Singaporean Environmental Assessment Tool (SEAT) for Facilities Providing High Levels of Care for People Living With Dementia.

Background: This article describes the development of the Singapore Environmental Assessment Tool (SEAT), a culturally appropriate, usable, reliable, and valid assessment tool designed to evaluate the extent to which the built environment in Singaporean aged care facilities is able to support the provision of high levels of care to people living with dementia.

Methods: A multistage sequential mixed methods approach was carried out involving 16 raters in Stage 1 and six raters in Stage 2 using a culturally adapted English version of the Environmental Audit Tool-High Care (EAT-HC) in eight nursing homes. The first stage captured qualitative data on cultural sensitivities and usability of the tool.

Human Rights and the Confinement of People Living with Dementia in Care Homes.

This paper responds to growing concerns in human rights practice and scholarship about the confinement of people living with dementia in care homes. Moving beyond the existing focus in human rights scholarship on the role of restrictive practices in confinement, the paper broadens and nuances our understanding of confinement by exploring the daily facilitators of confinement in the lives of people with dementia. The paper draws on data from focus groups and interviews with people living with dementia, care partners, aged care workers, and lawyers and advocates about Australian care homes.

Weight Management in Primary Care for Children With Autism: Expert Recommendations.

Research suggests that the prevalence of obesity in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is higher than in typically developing children. The US Preventive Services Task Force and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have endorsed screening children for overweight and obesity as part of the standard of care for physicians. However, the pediatric provider community has been inadequately prepared to address this issue in children with ASD.

Effects of Exergaming on Cognition and Gait in Older Adults at Risk for Falling.

Purpose: To test whether an 8-wk exergaming (EG) program would improve cognition and gait characteristics compared with a traditional physical exercise (TPE) program in older adults at risk for falling.

Methods: A pilot quasi-experimental study was conducted in adults age ≥65 yr at risk for falls, living in senior communities. Participants enrolled (n = 35) in either exercise program offered twice weekly for 8 wk.

Creating a dementia enabling university using a Knowledge Translation approach: Innovative practice.

Universities can promote social impact by developing a dementia literate workforce. The Dementia Enabling University Strategy utilised a knowledge translation framework in an Australian university to inspire and support academics to engage students and consider how their skills and knowledge could contribute to the creation of more supportive environments for people with dementia. Dementia Enabling University Strategy ran across eight disciplines: law, media, social sciences, public health, engineering, business, marketing and psychology and was successful in engaging university academics and students.

Impact of unilateral versus bilateral ovarian endometriotic cystectomy on ovarian reserve: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Ovarian endometrioma is a frequent manifestation of endometriosis in women of reproductive age. Several issues related to its space occupying effects, local reactions and surgical removal continue to be actively debated today. The impact of ovarian endometrioma per se on ovarian reserve is still controversial and the effect of ovarian surgery is still actively discussed.
