The pretesting of contrast medium is world widely recognized to be an invaluable method to predict the adverse reactions. It was still required to perform on patients who shall have a contrast examination until recently in Japan. In May of 1990 the contrast drug package insert was reviewed and a statement of "there is no known method to predict the adverse reactions" was included. Although two reports suggested that the percentage of not performing the pretesting was increasing gradually since then, the clinical communications between institutes did not support the truth. This study investigated the problem by surveying the area in Kanagawa-ken neighboring to Tokyo and revealed that: 1. The percentage of non-performing the pretesting is high in radiologist and urologist (both are 40%) but low in other physicians (18%). 2. The risky performances of pretesting in the area without emergent equipment are occurring daily. 3. The percentage of the approval to abandon the pretesting increased significantly (from 46% to 89% with p < 0.01) after the accurate information on pretesting was given. 4. To prevent the tragedy caused by risky performance, actively contacting with and offering the information are necessary.

Short-Term Effects of Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Therapy on the Phonation of Children With Vocal Fold Nodules: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Speech Lang Hear Res
January 2025
Center for Speech and Language Sciences, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, Ghent University, Belgium.
Purpose: The aim was to determine and compare the short-term effects of two intensive semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) programs, "straw phonation" (SP) and "resonant voice therapy" (RVT), on the phonation of children with vocal fold nodules.
Method: A pretest-posttest randomized controlled study design was used. Thirty children aged 6-12 years were randomly assigned to the SP group ( = 11), RVT group ( = 11), or control group receiving indirect treatment ( = 8) for their voice problems.

Instituto Universitario de Educación Física, Universidad de Antioquia UdeA, Medellín, Colombia.
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to explore the implications of the in-field implementation of a teaching strategy that promotes critical thinking (TPCT) on tactical ability, declarative, and procedural knowledge. The TPCT is grounded in socio-constructivist theory and aims to enhance players' analytical skills through inquiry, problem-solving, and observation. By emphasizing the socio-constructivist approach, the program fosters skills such as interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, explanation, and self-regulation, encouraging players' active participation in questioning and collaborative problem-solving activities.

University of Vigo, Faculty of Education and Sport Sciences, Pontevedra, Spain.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of linear sprint training (LST) compared to curvilinear sprint training (CST) using an equivalent session training volume, on linear (LS) and curvilinear (CS) sprint performance, horizontal force-velocity profile, and change of direction (COD) ability in young soccer players. In a randomized pre-post parallel-group trial design, nineteen U16 male soccer players were randomly assigned to LST (n = 9) and CST (n = 10) groups. Both groups performed 11 sprint training sessions over 6 weeks.
