Our goal was to characterise jockey injuries at Maryland racetracks during thoroughbred racing activities over 4 years using medical records maintained by the sports medicine team.
Injury data were prospectively gathered by sports medicine physicians who were onsite for all thoroughbred racing activities in Maryland from 12 September 2015 to 5 May 2019 to evaluate and treat any injury to the jockeys. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, rates with corresponding 95% CIs and proportions) of injury types, body parts, mechanisms, severity and location on track were calculated.
Over nearly 4 years of racing and 45 000 mounts, there were 204 injuries involving 184 incidents and 131 falls during those races. The vast majority of injuries (80%) was related to soft tissue, while 4% were concussions. Most injuries involved the lower extremity (31%) or upper extremity (26%) and typically resulted from a fall from the horse. Among all incidents, 79.3% (n=146) resulted in an injury, while 76.3% (n=100) of falls resulted in an injury. We identified a significant proportion of injuries (41%) in and around the starting gate. Over a quarter of incidents resulting in injury required further medical care in hospital or other medical facility, while surgery was required in 2.5% of injuries.
Access to a consistent group of sports medicine providers facilitated jockey injury reporting and tracking. The majority of jockey injuries is related to soft tissue and results from falls, while the starting gate area is associated with the greatest proportion of injuries.

Electric stimulation (ES) can prevent muscle atrophy and promote tissue healing and therefore may help prevent sequelae of Bell's palsy but due to lack of high-quality studies, the effectiveness of ES in Bell's palsy remains controversial. Here we describe a protocol to evaluate the effects of monophasic high volt ES in patients with Bell's palsy and poor prognosis for recovery.
This is a protocol for a prospective, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study. HDAC inhibitor Participants include adults with acute Bell's palsy with poor prognosis for full recovery due to complete paralysis or being over age 60. ES will be a monophasic, high-volt pulsed waveform, 100μsec pulse duration, 35 hertz, motor-level intensity. Follow up will be at months 1, 2, 3 and 6. The primary outcome will be the proportion of patients with complete recovery using the eFACES tool. Secondary outcomes include patient reported quality of life measured by FaCE and the synkinesis assessment questionnaires, objective photographs, time to complete recovery, adverse effects, and tolerability.
This protocol has the potential to provide high quality evidence regarding the effects, up to 6 months after onset, of pulsed monophasic high-volt ES for patients with acute Bell's palsy and poor prognosis for complete recovery.

The COVID-19 crisis is likely to have had wide-ranging consequences on lifestyle behaviours and may have affected weight management. The objective of the present study was to examine perceptions of how weight-related lifestyle changed in social lockdown among UK adults compared with before the emergence of the COVID-19 crisis.
As part of an online cross-sectional survey conducted during social lockdown in the United Kingdom, 723 UK adults reported on the extent to which their eating (healthiness of diet, frequency of bingeing on food), physical activity, sleep and alcohol consumption had changed since the emergence of the COVID-19 crisis and completed measures of current psychological well-being.
Although both improvements and declines in weight gain protective behaviours were reported, 79% of participants reported a decline in one or more weight gain protective behaviours. Both participants with a diagnosis of psychiatric illness or obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30) were most likely to report declines in weight gain protective behaviours and show an overall profile of weight management behaviours worsening. Participants experiencing high levels of stress also reported reductions in more weight gain protective behaviours.
Lifestyle behaviours associated with weight gain are likely to have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Reductions to the perceived frequency by which people engage in behaviours usually associated with successful weight management appear to be common, and people living with obesity and mental health problems may be at increased risk.

This review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of behavioural interventions aiming to reduce SSB intake in socioeconomically disadvantaged ethnic minority adolescents and examined which behaviour change techniques (BCTs) were most effective. A systematic search was conducted using the PRISMA criteria. Quality assessments were done using the Cochrane criteria. In a narrative synthesis, studies were divided into effective and non-effective, and relative effectiveness ratios of individual BCTs were calculated. Pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) and their 95% confidence intervals were estimated with random-effects models using cluster robust methods. Twenty-two studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. A meta-analysis (n = 19) revealed no significant between-group differences in reduction of SSB intake. Five self-regulatory BCTs had an effectiveness ratio >50% feedback, goal-setting, action planning, self-monitoring and problem-solving/barrier identification.
