epressing Kv4.3 channel expression in injured dorsal root ganglion neurons.
Musculoskeletal injury is the leading cause of attrition from military training.
To assess the effect of an embedded athletic training musculoskeletal care model within a basic military training unit.
Cluster randomized trial.
United States Air Force Basic Military Training, Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
Military recruits randomly assigned to 1 of 3 training squadrons, 2 control and 1 experimental, between January 2016 and December 2018.
A sports medicine care model was established in 1 squadron by embedding 2 certified athletic trainers overseen by a sports medicine fellowship-trained physician. The athletic trainers diagnosed and coordinated rehabilitation as the primary point of contact for recruits and developed interventions with medical and military leadership based on injury trends.
Recruit attrition from basic training due to a musculoskeletal injury. Secondary outcomes were all-cause attrition, on-time graduation, rates of lower extremity injury and stress fracture, rates of specialty care appointments, and fiscal costs.
Recruits in the athletic training musculoskeletal care arm experienced 25% lower musculoskeletal-related attrition (risk ratio = 0.75 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.64, 0.89]) and 15% lower all-cause attrition (risk ratio = 0.85 [95% CI = 0.80, 0.91]), translating to a net saving of more than $10 million. The intervention reduced the incidence of lower extremity stress fracture by 16% (rate ratio = 0.84 [95% CI = 0.73, 0.97]).
An embedded athletic training musculoskeletal care model outperformed usual care across operational, medical, and fiscal outcomes.

To characterize two Enterococcus faecium isolates with different resistance phenotypes obtained from the same blood culture.
The isolates were identified by MALDI-TOF MS and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was performed using a VITEK® 2 AST P592 card and Etest. MCC950 in vivo WGS was performed on the MiSeq and MinION sequencer platforms. Core-genome MLST (cgMLST) and seven-loci MLST were performed. Plasmid analysis was performed using S1-PFGE followed by Southern-blot hybridization.
Both E. faecium isolates were ST203. AST revealed that one was a vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREfm) isolate and the other was a vancomycin-susceptible E. faecium (VSEfm) isolate. The VREfm isolate harboured the vanA gene cluster as part of a Tn1546-type transposon encoded on a 49 kb multireplicon (rep1, rep2 and rep7a) plasmid (pAML0157.1). On the same plasmid, ant(6)-Ia, cat-like and erm(B) were encoded. The VSEfm isolate harboured a rep2 plasmid (pAML0158.1), 12 kb in size, which was present in full length as part of pAML may contribute to the spread of vancomycin resistance among enterococci and to the genotypic and phenotypic variation within clonal isolates.
To determine the growth and prevalence of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants receiving enteral-only nutrition in a resource-restricted (RR) environment.
Information on nutritional intake, provided largely from fortified breastmilk, was collected retrospectively for 72 ELBW (<1000 g) infants admitted to Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa over a 1 year period. Anthropometric data for the first 49 postnatal days were compared to gender-specific INTERGROWTH-21st standards.
Full enteral feeds (150 ml/kg) were reached by Day 10-14 with energy >100 Kcal/kg/day from Day 10, and protein >3.5 mg/kg/day from Day 14, onwards. Growth velocity remained below 15 g/kg/day at Day 49. INTERGROWTH-21st Z-scores decreased from -0.8 ± 1.1 at birth to -2.4 ± 1.5 at Day 49. Adequate weight growth velocity (≥15 g/kg/day) was associated with maternal hypertension, completed antenatal steroids, caesarean section delivery and small for gestational age status.
The growth of ELBW infants in a RR setting where enteral-only nutrition, principally from fortified breastmilk, was the primary feeding option. The incidence of EUGR, although high, was similar to the incidence in well-resourced settings, where total parenteral nutrition is routinely provided. Lay summaryExtra-uterine growth restriction (EUGR) is high in extremely low birth weight infants receiving enteral-only nutrition. However, EUGR rates are similar to infants receiving parenteral nutrition. Despite developmental immaturity, it is possible for these infants to achieve fetal growth rates. More aggressive feeding and fortification strategies may be necessary and will need to be balanced against the risk and fear of necrotizing enterocolitis. Enteral-only feeding regimens, especially in resource-restricted environments, should be audited regularly to ensure provision of feeds with the most optimal protein, and protein to energy ratios possible.The thermoluminescence relative efficiency, ηTST, of LiFMg,Ti and LiFMg,Cu,P following heavy charged particle irradiation is calculated using track structure theory and compared with experimental measurements. The calculations use both 60Co generated values of secondary electron dose response and values of the dose response at lower photon energies. In both materials there is poor agreement with experiment. Optical absorption relative efficiencies are also in disagreement. For the F band, ηexpt'l/ηTST = 2.0 and 2.6 for He ions and protons, respectively. The values of ηexpt'l/ηTST for the 4.0-eV band, resulted in 0.18 (protons) and less then 0.12 (He ions). An indication that the 4.0-eV trapping structure is either destroyed or de-populated during the heavy charged particle (HCP) slowing down. The large deviations of ηexpt'l/ηHCP from unity demonstrate that TST, which predicts HCP induced radiation effects from the exclusive action of the released secondary electrons, is woefully inadequate.
Epidemiological studies have consistently documented an increased risk of developing primary non-cutaneous malignancies among people with a history of keratinocyte carcinoma (KC). However, the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. We conducted two separate analyses to test whether genetically predicted KC is related to the risk of developing cancers at other sites.
In the first approach (one-sample), we calculated the polygenic risk scores (PRS) for KC using individual-level data in the UK Biobank (n = 394 306) and QSkin cohort (n = 16 896). The association between the KC PRS and each cancer site was assessed using logistic regression. In the secondary (two-sample) approach, we used genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics identified from the most recent GWAS meta-analysis of KC and obtained GWAS data for each cancer site from the UK-Biobank participants only. We used inverse-variance-weighted methods to estimate risks across all genetic variants.
Using the one-sample approach, we found that the risks of cancer at other sites increased monotonically with KC PRS quartiles, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.
