This paper presents the combination of clustering-based independent component analysis (ICASSO) and power spectral density (PSD) as a features extractor of mental fatigue from spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Initially, the results show that SCI and abled-bodied groups have no differences in EEG for alert and mental fatigue states. Further, the coefficient determination (R) is calculated for testing the variation of data alert vs. fatigue on the SCI group, resulting in a lower R for proposed combination of ICASSO and PSD method compared to the PSD method only. With the lower R values, this shows that the proposed method ICASSO and PSD is able to provide superior distinction for separating fatigue vs. alert data variation. The statistical significance is found across four EEG bands and EEG channels.

Objective: The detrimental effects of mental fatigue (MF) have been established in sports, such as soccer, volleyball, and basketball. Mindfulness interventions are considered a promising method to help players counteract MF, but whether it could improve basketball tactical performance after MF in competition is not clear. This study aims to investigate the effect of brief mindfulness intervention on basketball tactical performance under MF.

Sleep patterns among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and non-Indigenous Australians: A South Australian descriptive exploratory study.

Aust J Rural Health

February 2025

Australian Research Center for Population Oral Health, Adelaide Dental School, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

Aim: Irregularities with sleep patterns and behaviours are commonly observed in Australia, but there is lack of information regarding sleep patterns among Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander adults. This study explores sleep patterns in Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander adults, comparing it with non-Indigenous Australian adults in addition to investigating any potential effects on daytime behaviour.

Methods: A total of 730 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples aged 18 years and above were included in the study.

Background: Post-COVID-19 syndrome refers to a variety of symptoms that affect different organs in the body and can persist 28 days following exposure to COVID-19. Previous studies have shown that COVID-19 affects not only elderly individuals but also young adults. However, the influence of post-COVID-19 syndrome on young adults has not been studied sufficiently.

Fatigue, pain and faecal incontinence in adult inflammatory bowel disease patients and the unmet need: a national cross-sectional survey.

BMC Gastroenterol

December 2024

Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Palliative Care, King's College London, 57 Waterloo Road, London, London, SE1 8WA, UK.

Background And Aims: The co-existence of fatigue, pain and faecal incontinence in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is unknown. We aimed to determine the presence of and relationship between these symptoms and patients' desire for intervention.

Methods: Adults with IBD in the UK, recruited from clinics, the national IBD-BioResource, a patient charity and social media sources, completed PROMIS validated patient-reported questionnaires to identify fatigue, pain and faecal incontinence, in addition to symptom severity and impact, disease activity, anxiety and depression questionnaires and questions about their desire for help with these symptoms.
