The goal of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the effects of exercise training on long-term health and cardiorespiratory fitness in participants with CHD after surgery and to investigate the optimal type of exercise training for post-operative patients and how to improve adherence to it.

We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science from the date of the inception of the database through August 2021.

Altogether, 1424 records were identified in the literature search. Studies evaluating outcomes between exercise training and usual care among post-operative patients with CHD were included. The assessed outcomes were quality of life and cardiorespiratory fitness. We analysed heterogeneity by using the I
statistic and evaluated the evidence quality according to the recommendation by the Cochrane Collaboration. Nine randomised controlled trials were included. The evidence showed that exercise interventions increased peak oxygen consumption (mean difference = 2.29 [95% CI 0.43, 4.15]; p = 0.02, I
= 0%). However, no differences in scores of health-related quality of life and pulmonary function were observed between the experimental and control groups.

In conclusion, participation in a physical exercise training programme was safe and improved fitness in patients after surgery for CHD. We recommend that post-operative patients with CHD participate in physical exercise training. Additional research is needed to study the various forms of exercise training and their impact on quality of life.

This study aimed to identify and assess cognitive errors among copper miners using the cognitive reliability and error analysis method (CREAM). Siremadlin Methods. This cross-sectional study was carried out in one of the copper mines in Iran. First, all tasks were analyzed by hierarchical task analysis (HTA). Then cognitive errors were assessed using the CREAM. Results. With respect to the basic CREAM results in the operational units, including extraction, crushing and processing, human error probability (HEP) was obtained as 0.056, 0.0315 and 0.0177, respectively. Based on the results of the extended CREAM, the types of errors identified for all tasks in the three operational units were mainly associated with execution (53.4%), observation (40%), interpretation (5%) and planning (1.6%). Also, the cognitive errors were related to execution, monitoring, observation, communication, diagnosis, recording and planning, respectively. Conclusion. The results showed that human error is very high in the operational units of the mine. Therefore, immediate actions are needed to improve safety performance in the mine units, which determine the role of various factors in human errors and can provide the possibility of implementing more effective interventions.
To assess recovery of alcohol-related neuropsychological deficits in a group of patients with pure severe alcohol use disorder (AUD) during a detoxification program using the Brief Evaluation of Alcohol-Related Neuropsychological Impairment (BEARNI) test.

Thirty-two patients with severe AUD using DSM-IV criteria (24 men, mean age = 45.5 ± 6.8years old) were assessed using the BEARNI 8 ± 2days after alcohol cessation (T1) and then were reassessed within 18 ± 2days after alcohol cessation (T2). The primary study endpoint was the number of patients initially impaired at T1 who recovered cognitive functions at T2 assessment.

At T1, 59% (n = 19) patients with pure severe AUD had at least one impaired cognitive function assessed by the BEARNI. At T2, 63% of the patients with AUD with deficits at T1 had normal BEARNI cognitive scores (χ2 = 7.7, P = 0.005); specifically, the percentages of participants with normal subtest scores were 63% on memory (χ2 = 12.4, P = 0.0004), 100% on verbal fluency (χ2 = 16; P = <0.0001), 60% on alphabetical span (χ2 = 12.8; P = 0.0003) and 67% on visuospatial (χ2 = 15, P = 0.0001).

The cognitive impairments of two-thirds of patients with pure AUD included in the present study recovered within 18days of abstinence, earlier than reported in previous studies.

The impact of maternal diet on mineral concentration in human milk (HM) remains unclear. The main aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between maternal dietary intake and calcium and phosphorus concentrations in HM. Furthermore, we aimed to evaluate the intake of both minerals by exclusively breastfed infants.

HM samples were obtained from 30 mothers at 6-8 weeks postpartum. Each mother was asked to express pre- and postfeeding milk four times during a 24-h period (6.00-12.00, 12.00-18.00, 18.00-24.00, 24.00-6.00). Maternal dietary assessment was based on a food frequency questionnaire and 3-day dietary records. Analysed minerals were determined using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (NexION 300D ICP mass spectrometer, Perkin Elmer SCIEX).

The mean concentrations of calcium and phosphorus in HM samples were 278.7 ± 61.0 and 137.1 ± 21.9 mg/L, respectively, maintaining 21 ratio by weight. The concentration of both minerals was correlated with each other (r = 0.632, p = < daily intake.
Maternal calcium and phosphorus intake influenced the concentration of both minerals in HM; however, the relationship was rather weak. In addition, we observed that calcium intake by most of the exclusively breastfed infants was insufficient to meet the recommended daily intake.
The Dental Wellness Plan (DWP) provides dental coverage for adult Medicaid enrollees in Iowa. In September 2018, a $1000 annual benefit maximum (ABM) was implemented in the DWP program. The aim of this study was to explore private dentists' attitudes toward ABMs and factors associated with ABM attitudes.

The data source was a mailed survey administered in spring 2019 to all private practice dentists in Iowa. The two dependent variables were (1) attitude toward the $1000 ABM and (2) attitude toward any ABM generally. Independent variables included demographic and practice-related factors, and participation in and attitudes toward the DWP. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable analyses were conducted.

While over half (56%) of providers reported a positive attitude toward "Any ABM," less than half (40%) reported a positive attitude toward the "$1000 ABM." Attitudes toward both "$1000 ABM" and "Any ABM" were significantly and positively associated with attitudes toward DWP overall and toward DWP structure. Independent variables that were significantly associated with both the "$1000 ABM" and "Any ABM" included overall attitude toward the DWP, attitude toward DWP structure, and practice busyness.

Utilizing an ABM, particularly one set at $1000 for a Medicaid program, elicits mixed attitudes among dentists. Future research should evaluate the impact of Medicaid ABMs on long term dentist participation and patient's ability to receive needed care.

The routine use of next-generation sequencing has been instrumental in identifying novel fusions and tumor entities, which has helped bring the classification to a more objective and evidenced-based model. However, morphology remains critical in assessing the validity of these novel molecular findings, and most importantly, in assessing which of these findings will have an impact on the prognosis and treatment decisions for patients. The recognition of microsecretory adenocarcinoma (MSA) as a distinct low-grade malignancy of salivary glands, underpinned by MEF2CSS18 , and a single possibly related case of SS18ZBTB7A , recently expanded this growing list of distinctive tumors. It was not until now, however, that the morphology of the latter case was known to be unique and reproducible. The authors have now seen 4 of these distinctive tumors that show a combination of distinctive oncocytic cells forming compact glandular growth as well as amphophilic cells forming tubular growth, and suggest the appellation "microcribriform adenocarcinoma" (MCA). So far, these tumors appear to preferentially occur in nonoral sites (2 parotid, 1 submandibular gland, and 1 bronchial seromucous glands). By immunohistochemistry, they express S100 and SOX-10 with focal outer myoepithelial cells marked by circumferential p63, p40, and smooth muscle actin staining around some of the nests and tubules. The tumors show infiltrative growth within a hyalinized and myxoid stroma. Cytologically, they appear generally low grade, similar to MSA. The morphologic and molecular uniformity of these 4 microcribriform adenocarcinoma cases warrants their recognition, and while related to MSA, they are sufficiently different to be classified as a distinct tumor. So far, in limited follow-up, these tumors appear to be relatively indolent.The regulation of health claims for foods by the Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation is intended, primarily, to protect consumers from unscrupulous claims by ensuring claims are accurate and substantiated with high quality scientific evidence. In this position paper, the Academy of Nutrition Sciences uniquely recognises the strengths of the transparent, rigorous scientific assessment by independent scientists of the evidence underpinning claims in Europe, an approach now independently adopted in UK. Further strengths are the separation of risk assessment from risk management, and the extensive guidance for those submitting claims. Nevertheless, four main challenges in assessing the scientific evidence and context remain (i) defining a healthy population, (ii) undertaking efficacy trials for foods, (iii) developing clearly defined biomarkers for some trial outcomes and (iv) ensuring the composition of a food bearing a health claim is consistent with generally accepted nutrition principles. Although the Regulation aims to protect the consumer from harm, we identify some challenges from consumer research (i) making the wording of some health claims more easily understood and (ii) understanding the implications of the misperceptions around products bearing nutrition or health claims.
