Purpose: Previous research has primarily focused on bounce drop jump (BDJ) rather than countermovement drop jump (CDJ) in studying optimal drop heights for drop jump. This study explored the biomechanic parameters of both BDJ and CDJ and their relationship with performance across varying drop heights based on the percentage of squat-jump height (SJH).
Methods: Twenty-four college basketball athletes were recruited and divided into low- and high-strength groups. Participants performed BDJ and CDJ at 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, 150%, and 175% of SJH. The point or zone with the largest reactive strength index (RSI) corresponds to the optimal drop height for a drop jump.
Results: Optimal drop heights were determined to be 84.7% of SJH for BDJ low strength and 84.1% of SJH for BDJ high strength, with no significant difference between groups (P = .213). For CDJ, relative optimal drop heights were 104.6% of SJH for CDJ low strength and 106.1% of SJH for CDJ high strength, also with no significant difference (P = .717). Mechanical power with RSI exhibited a coefficient close to 1 (r = .98-.99), while average propulsive force demonstrated a very strong positive correlation with RSI (r = .72-.77).
Conclusions: It is recommended that basketball athletes incorporate particular percentages of SJH into drop jump, with 75% to 100% of SJH for BDJ and 100% to 125% of SJH for CDJ, as these heights are associated with achieving an optimal RSI and mechanical power. Tailoring the inclusion of BDJ or CDJ in training should account for the specific demands of on-court positions and task objectives for basketball players.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of antiepileptic drugs and non-pharmacological treatments in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).
Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for LGS. The treatments assessed included cannabidiol, fenfluramine, clobazam, rufinamide, felbamate, lamotrigine, topiramate, deep brain stimulation, and anterior corpus callosotomy.

Background And Objective: Delivering drugs to the deviated regions in patients with nasal septal deviation is vital for the treatment but challenging due to the complex shape of the nasal cavity and the intersubject variability in the nasal anatomies. While previous studies have focused on drug delivery to standard areas like the olfactory region, none have specifically looked at how drugs are deposited in the deviated regions. The current study numerically investigates six drug administration parameters aiming to control and maximize drug deposition in the deviated regions of the nasal cavity in three types of septal deviations.

This study aimed to investigate the structural, optical, and electronic properties of WO thin films modified by Ta-doping, considering their potential application in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, WO films have been commonly suggested as a promising photoanode for hydrogen production. However, the wide bandgap and unsuitable band edge positions of WO limit its PEC efficiency.

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its extensive use in many regions, such as smart homes, healthcare, and vehicles, have made IoT security increasingly critical. Ransomware is an advanced and adjustable threat influencing users globally, limiting admittance to their data or systems over models like file encryption or screen locking. Traditional ransomware detection methods frequently drop, deprived of the ability to combat these threats successfully.

Decompensated hemolytic anemia after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) requiring specific treatment is rarely encountered in actual clinical practice. Nevertheless, there have been several cases of clinically relevant hemolytic anemia following implantation of the recently launched SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA (S3UR). This study aimed to elucidate the clinical features of hemolytic anemia following S3UR implantation.
