Co-creation of injury prevention measures for competitive adolescent distance runners: knowledge, behavior, and needs of athletes and coaches enrolled on England Athletics' Youth Talent Programme
This study assessed the knowledge, behavior, and needs of competitive adolescent (16-18 years) distance runners and distance running coaches enrolled as part of England Athletics' Youth Talent Programme in relation to the prevention of running-related injury (RRI). Two online surveys were developed and distributed to the distance runners (survey one) and coaches (survey two). Both surveys included sections related to: (1) current knowledge; (2) current behavior; (3) need and support for RRI prevention measures; and (4) possible content and form of RRI prevention measures. A total of 39 distance runners (36% of total possib...

Circulating plasma cells as a predictive biomarker in Multiple myeloma: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis confirmed that the increased number of CPCs had a negative impact on the PFS and OS of MM patients. Therefore, CPCs could be a promising prognostic biomarker that helps with risk stratification and disease monitoring.PMID:38599340 | PMC:PMC11008311 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2338604 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Anabolic-androgenic steroids are linked to depression and anxiety in male bodybuilders: the hidden psychogenic side of anabolic androgenic steroids
CONCLUSION: The study concluded that AAS use among male bodybuilders is associated with elevated levels of depression and anxiety. Our findings suggest a potential correlation between anxiety and depression levels and the levels of creatinine, LDH, and estradiol in AAS users.PMID:38590148 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2337717 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Perception, confidence, and willingness to respond to in-flight medical emergencies among medical students: a cross sectional study
CONCLUSION: Even though over 8 in 10 students in our study had previously attended life support courses, the overwhelming majority lacked the knowledge, confidence, and willingness to assist. Our study underscores the importance of teaching medical students about IMEs and their unique challenges before entering their 7th-year mandatory general internship.PMID:38590157 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2337725 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Value of modified qSOFA, glucose and lactate in predicting prognosis in children with sepsis in the PICU
Ann Med. 2024 Dec;56(1):2337714. doi: 10.1080/07853890.2024.2337714. Epub 2024 Apr 8.ABSTRACTThe purpose was to investigate how well age-adjusted modified quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scores paired with blood glucose and lactate levels predict the outcomes of septicemic children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). One hundred children who were diagnosed with sepsis and septic shock in the PICU of Henan Children's Hospital were eligible, and other 20 patients in the same hospital at different times were selected as a validation set. Respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), capillary refill time ...
