Purpose: To verify the intraocular pressure (IOP) after sub-maximal strength test.
Methods: 145 Physical Education freshmen (22.04 +/- 4.17 years old; female and male) from Superior Physical Education School of Jundiaí (ESEFJ) were evaluated in an observacional study. The exclusion criteria were: media opacity and eyeball absence or changes. All subjects agreed to take part in this research and signed up the Informed Consent. IOP was measured by Perkins tonometer: i) pretest: just before the submaximal strength test performance and ii) post-test: immediately after the strength test. The strength test consisted in the one-repetition-maximum-assessment through repetition until fatigue. Resistance training exercises such as bench press, pulley dorsal high, shoulder press, arm curl and leg press 45 masculine were performed. Statistical analyses were obtained through paired Student's 't' test.
Results: Decrease of IOP was observed after the strength test: 13.48 +/- 3.32 vs.10.20 +/- 3.72 (p<0.001) in the right eye and 13.13 +/- 3.96 vs.9.74 +/- 3.33 (p<0.001) in the left eye.
Conclusion: IOP showed relevant decrease after submaximal strength test performance in college students.

In the manufacturing of some sectors, such as marble and brick, certain byproducts, such as sludge, powder, and pieces containing valuable chemical compounds, emerge. Some concrete plants utilize these byproducts as mineralogical additives in Turkey. The objective of the experimental study is to ascertain whether the incorporation of waste from the marble and brick industries, in powder form, into cement manufacturing as a mineralogical additive or substitute is a viable option.

Background: Understanding patient goals for metoidioplasty and phalloplasty gender-affirming surgery (MaPGAS) is paramount to achieving satisfactory, preference-sensitive outcomes, yet there is a lack of understanding of MaPGAS priorities and how these may vary between transgender men and non-binary individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB).
Aim: To understand the surgical goals of transgender men and non-binary individuals AFAB considering MaPGAS.
Methods: An online survey was created following literature review and qualitative interviews and distributed via social media and a community health center to participants AFAB aged ≥18 years who had considered but not yet undergone MaPGAS.
