Analyzing activity and injury risk in elite curling athletes: seven workload monitoring metrics from session-RPE.
Front Public Health
August 2024
Beijing Sport University, Beijing, China.
Objective: The study aimed to compare the differences in the performance of seven session-rating of perceived exertion (RPE)-derived metrics (coupled and uncoupled acute: chronic workload ratio (ACWR), weekly ratio of workload change, monotony, standard deviation of weekly workload change, exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA), and robust exponential decreasing index (REDI)) in classifying the performance of an injury prediction model after taking into account the time series (no latency, 5-day latency, and 10-day latency).
Design: The study documented the RPE of eight curlers in their daily training routine for 211 days prior to the Olympic Games.
Methods: Seven Session-RPE (sRPE)-derived metrics were used to build models at three time series nodes using logistic regression and multilayer perceptron.
A survey of practice and opinions on the use of topical antibiotics to prevent surgical site infection: more confusion than consensus.
J Antimicrob Chemother
July 2018
Department of Clinical Microbiology, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Dublin, Ireland.
Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common causes of healthcare-associated infection. Although the use of topical antibiotics to prevent SSI is not recommended by current guidelines, published studies document conflicting results and conclusions.
Objectives: The objectives of this survey were to: (i) determine the extent of the use of topical antibiotics to prevent SSI in clinical practice; and (ii) gather the opinions of healthcare professionals most likely to be involved in their use.
EWMA Document: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.

1. Introduction Since its introduction in clinical practice in the early 1990's negative pressure wounds therapy (NPWT) has become widely used in the management of complex wounds in both inpatient and outpatient care. NPWT has been described as a effective treatment for wounds of many different aetiologies and suggested as a gold standard for treatment of wounds such as open abdominal wounds, dehisced sternal wounds following cardiac surgery and as a valuable agent in complex non-healing wounds.

The potential impact of biofilm on healing in acute and chronic wounds is one of the most controversial current issues in wound care. A significant amount of laboratory-based research has been carried out on this topic, however, in 2013 the European Wound Management Association (EWMA) pointed out the lack of guidance for managing biofilms in clinical practice and solicited the need for guidelines and further clinical research. In response to this challenge, the Italian Nursing Wound Healing Society (AISLeC) initiated a project which aimed to achieve consensus among a multidisciplinary and multiprofessional international panel of experts to identify what could be considered part of 'good clinical practice' with respect to the recognition and management of biofilms in acute and chronic wounds.
