Multicenter Retrospective Review.

This study aims to address major postoperative complications associated with SK when compared to AIS in a large population, matched by demographic characteristics, levels fused, and operative techniques.

Prior studies have found that SK patients are 3.86 times more likely to experience major postoperative complications than in AIS.8 Historically, however, these studies have often had populations that were significantly different between the two groups in terms of disease severity, demographics, and small sample sizes.

AIS patients were compared to SK patients between 2006 -2018 contemporaneously. All surgeries were conducted by six surgeons among two institutions. Complications and revisions were calculated. A sub-analysis comparing SK and AIS patients by age, sex, and levels-fused in one-to-one matched pairs was performed as well as a sub-analysis matched by levels fused only in one-to-one matched pairs.

1,322 patients were reviewed (1,222 AIS; 100 SK). There were 52 (4.3%) complications in the AIS group compared to 20 (20%) complications in the SK group (p < 0.001), with infections and revisions consisting of the majority of complication rates in both cohorts.When matched by age, sex and levels fused, there were 8 complications in the AIS group and 11 in the SK group (p = 0.63), with infection and revision rates being similar, (p = 0.29) and (p = 0.26) respectively.When matched by levels fused only, EBL, operative time and complication rates remained similar (p > 0.05).

Contrary to previously published literature, our analyses indicate that in a matched population, postoperative complication rates (i.e. infection and revision rates) are not significantly different between SK and AIS patients.Level of Evidence 4.

Harty, PS, Friedl, KE, Nindl, BC, Harry, JR, Vellers, HL, and Tinsley, GM. Military body composition standards and physical performance historical perspectives and future directions. J Strength Cond Res XX(X) 000-000, 2021-US military physique and body composition standards have been formally used for more than 100 years. These metrics promote appropriate physical fitness, trim appearance, and long-term health habits in soldiers, although many specific aspects of these standards have evolved as evidence-based changes have emerged. Body composition variables have been shown to be related to many physical performance outcomes including aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, strength and power production, and specialized occupational tasks involving heavy lifting and load carriage. Although all these attributes are relevant, individuals seeking to improve military performance should consider emphasizing strength, hypertrophy, and power production as primary training goals, as these traits appear vital to succes.
Brosnan, RJ, Watson, G, Stuart, W, Twentyman, C, Kitic, CM, and Schmidt, M. The validity, reliability, and agreement of GPS units-Can we compare research and applied data?. J Strength Cond Res XX(X) 000-000, 2021-This study's aim was to investigate the validity, within-brand interunit reliability, and between-brand agreement of movement indicators from 3 commonly used global positioning system (GPS) units used in applied and research settings. Forty-two units (GPSports EVO; 10 Hz, n = 13 GPSports HPU; 5 Hz, n = 14 and Catapult S5; 10 Hz, n = 15) were investigated across 3 experiments a 40-m linear track with all units pushed on a trolley, a sport simulation circuit with all units pulled on a sled, and a similar circuit with 3 models of units placed in a modified GPS vest worn by an athlete between the scapulae. Distance, speed, and acceleration indices were obtained and analyzed with the level of significance set (ρ < 0.05). The results demonstrated good to moderate (% mean difference; 0-6.5%) validity wd to moderate (CV ± 90% CI 0.21-5.58%) interunit reliability in all acceleration and deceleration measures, with 5 Hz units having good to poor (CV ± 90% CI 4.54-12.78%) results. Agreement ranged from good to moderate (% mean difference; 0.01-7.8%) for distance, speed, and absolute acceleration/deceleration. Agreement ranged from good to poor (% mean difference; 2.21-32.74%) in average acceleration. The GPS units investigated can be compared within and between applied and research settings for distance and speed. However, caution is warranted in acceleration indices. This highlights the importance of testing other commonly used GPS models and brands.
Anderson, T, Adams, WM, Martin, KJ, and Wideman, L. Examining internal and external physical workloads between training and competitive matches within collegiate Division I men's soccer. J Strength Cond Res XX(X) 000-000, 2021-A direct analysis comparing differences in the demands of competition relative to in-season training in Division I collegiate soccer players has yet to be reported. Thus, the primary purpose of this study was to compare the absolute and relative internal and external workloads measured during training with competitive matches. Twenty-six male college soccer players were monitored over 2 consecutive seasons using a GPS and heart rate (HR) telemetry system. Differences between outdoor training sessions and competitive matches were analyzed for internal and external absolute and relative training workloads. Differences in training workloads between the 3 days before a match were also analyzed. Absolute time in HR zone 4 (80-89% of HRmax) and 5 (90-100% of HRmax); accelerations in zone 1 oads achieved during training. These results provide meaningful metrics that may lead to insights into proper conditioning and in-season workload management for Division I collegiate soccer programs.
Furuhashi, Y, Hioki, Y, Yoshimoto, S, and Hayashi, R. The effect of neutral, internal, and external focus on drop jump performance is drop jump performance affected by plyometric training experience? J Strength Cond XX(X) 000-000, 2021-Providing an external focus of attention through verbal instructions can improve the drop jump (DJ) performance, which differs based on the skill level of athletes. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of change of focus of attention on the performance of DJs in experienced and inexperienced athletes. Thirty-eight male collegiate athletes divided into the experienced group (E group age, 21.5 ± 1.4 years; height, 173.4 ± 5.7 cm; and body mass, 65.7 ± 6.2 kg) and the inexperienced group (I group age, 21.9 ± 1.5 years; height, 172.8 ± 5.1 cm; and body mass, 68.7 ± 5.5 kg) performed 2 trials of DJs after listening to instructions designed to evoke a neutral, internal, or external focus of attention. Contact time (CT), jump height (JH), reactive strength index (RSI), external condition was associated with significantly higher RSI and kvert and shorter CT than other conditions (p less then 0.05). this website Therefore, this suggests that attentional focus strategies need to be selected depending on DJ experience A neutral focus may be preferable for athletes experienced in DJs, whereas an external focus may be more suitable for athletes with lesser DJ experience.
Hatfield, DL, Stranieri, AM, Vincent, LM, and Earp, JE. Effect of a neoprene knee sleeve on performance and muscle activity in men and women during high-intensity, high-volume resistance training. J Strength Cond Res XX(X) 000-000, 2021-The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a commercially available neoprene knee sleeve (KS) on exercise performance and muscle activity during an exhaustive leg press exercise. Twenty resistance-trained individuals, 11 men 21.0 ± 2.2 years; 77.7 ± 8.7 kg; 1 repetition maximum (1RM/body mass [BM]) 0.30 ± 0.04 and 9 women (22.0 ± 3.5 years; 66.1 ± 9.1 kg; 1RM/BM 0.30 ± 0.04), all subjects (21.5 ± 2.8 years; 72.5 ± 10.5 kg; 1RM/BM 0.30 ± 0.04), participated in 3 testing sessions. The second and third sessions were performed using a counterbalanced and randomized design in which subjects exercised with (WS) or without (NS) KSs and performed 6 sets of leg press exercise at 80% of 1RM until failure with a 3-minute rest between sets. Number of repetitions, blood lacyography (EMG) of the right and left vastus lateralis muscles was also recorded to compare muscle activity between conditions. Significance was set at p ≤ 0.05, and values are presented as mean ± SD. No significant differences were observed in the total number of repetitions for all sets (p = 0.3; WS 75.3 ± 33.7, NS 79.8 ± 34.3) and the number of repetitions per set between conditions (p ≤ 0.05) or between men and women. Similarly, no significance differences (p ≤ 0.05) were observed for BL, HR, RPE, or EMG per set between conditions or between men and women. These results suggest that wearing compressive neoprene KSs has no effect on improving performance and associated variables during high-load, high-volume lower-body resistance training.
BACKGROUND Pupillary examinations provide early subtle signs of worsening intracranial pathology. Objective pupillomtery assessment, although not yet the standard of care, is considered best practice. However, inconsistent findings from objective pupillometry studies have caused a lack of consensus among clinicians; as such, no clinical guidelines are available to guide clinical use of objective pupillometer devices. To add to the body of evidence, the purpose of this project was to explore the relationship between objective pupillometry metrics and midline shift (MLS). METHODS A retrospective chart review of pupillometer data was conducted. Midline shift was correlated with objective pupillometry metrics including Neurological Pupil Index (NPi), pupil size, and anisocoria. Midline shift was measured for the patient's initial neuroimaging and with any defined neurological change. Spearman ρ was used for statistical analysis of correlations between pupillometer metrics and MLS measured at both the septum peletween left pupil NPi and pupil size with MLS. CONCLUSIONS Results from this project are consistent with previous studies. Objective pupillometry continues to be a valuable component of a comprehensive neurological examination, because it has the ability to discern early and subtle changes in a patient's neurological status, leading to lifesaving interventions.
BACKGROUND At the end of life, children with neurological conditions have complex healthcare needs that can be met by providing care of their life-limiting conditions concurrently with hospice care (ie, concurrent care). Given the limited literature on concurrent care for children with neurologic conditions, this investigation aimed to identify patterns of nonhospice, healthcare service needs and to assess characteristics of children within each group. METHODS A nationally representative sample children with neurological conditions enrolled in concurrent hospice care was used. Latent class analysis and descriptive statistics were calculated to identify patterns of healthcare needs and characteristics of children within the groups. A subgroup analysis of infants was conducted. RESULTS Among the 1601 children, the most common types of services were inpatient hospitals, durable medical equipment, and home health. Two classes of service needs were identified moderate intensity (58%) and high intensity (42%). Children in the moderate-intensity group were predominantly between 1 and 5 years old, male, White, and non-Hispanic.
