The popularity of Olympic-style weightlifting in fitness routines is growing, but participating in these exercises with improper technique places lifters at increased risk for injury. Fitness training professionals have developed multiple teaching strategies, but have not subjected these strategies to systematic evaluation, particularly with novice lifters. Two strategies recommended by professional training organizations are akin to forward and backward chaining, which have been shown effective at teaching other novel, complex behaviors. The present study compared these forward- and backward-chaining-like strategies to teach novice lifters "the clean" and "the snatch," two Olympic weightlifting movements frequently incorporated into high-intensity training programs. Participants performed lifts taught with forward chaining more accurately than lifts taught with backward chaining.

Predicting the risk of mortality in children with dengue-induced hepatitis admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit.
World J Crit Care Med
December 2024
Department of Infectious Diseases, The Children's Hospital 2, Ho Chi Minh 700000, Viet Nam.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and mortality predictors of pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) due to dengue with a focus on children admitted to a Vietnamese PICU from 2013 to 2022.
- Researchers analyzed data from 459 children, finding an 18.3% prevalence of PALF and an 8.5% in-hospital mortality rate among patients with severe hepatitis.
- Key predictors of mortality included hepatic biomarkers like high international normalized ratio (INR) levels and reduced consciousness, with the study utilizing advanced statistical models to assess risk factors.
Lassa fever outbreaks, mathematical models, and disease parameters: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Lancet Glob Health

Background: Understanding the epidemiological parameters and transmission dynamics of Lassa fever, a significant public health threat in west Africa caused by the rodent-borne Lassa virus, is crucial for informing evidence-based interventions and outbreak response strategies. Therefore, our study aimed to collate and enhance understanding of the key epidemiological parameters of Lassa fever.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review, searching PubMed and Web of Science for peer-reviewed studies published from database inception up to June 13, 2024, to compile and analyse key epidemiological parameters, mathematical models, and outbreaks of Lassa fever.
Women's Experiences of Intimate and Sexual Relationships During Menopause: A Qualitative Synthesis.
J Clin Nurs
September 2024
Health Research Institute, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UK.
Aim: The aim of this literature review was to explore women's experiences of their intimate and sexual relationships during menopause.
Background: Evidence shows that the menopause transition can be a difficult time for women due to symptoms of menopause. There is little research evidence about how menopause-related symptoms impact women's intimate and sexual relationships.
A rapid evidence review of postnatal listening services for women following a traumatic or negative childbirth experience.
Midwifery
December 2024
Maternal, parental, and Infant Nutrition & Nurture (MAINN) research unit, University of Central Lancashire, Preston PR1 2HE, UK.
Problem: Currently there is a lack of clear guidance to underpin postnatal listening services for women who have had a traumatic or difficult birth.
Background: Postnatal listening (or birth reflections) services are important to help women review their birth and ask questions about their care, but currently there is no clear guidance on how these services should be provided.
Aim: To synthesise existing evidence on postnatal listening services for women following a traumatic or negative childbirth experience.
Beyond the billboard: A review of other external sources of driver distraction.
Accid Anal Prev

Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia.
Road corridors contain countless sources of distraction, each carrying the potential to draw drivers' eyes and minds off roads, thus increasing the risk of a crash. While the impact of billboards on driver distraction has received considerable attention, empirical data for other types of roadside advertising signs is very limited. Furthermore, the existing research examining other potential external sources of distraction is fragmentary, which makes it difficult to develop evidence-based road safety policies to mitigate risk.
