There were no differences in oxidative stress, derived-reactive oxygen metabolites, and biological antioxidant potential between both trials. These results suggest that impaired mood states induced by high-intensity exercise can be improved early by MHO without any changes in oxidative stress. This improvement may be associated with decreased heart rate secondary to MHO exposure after the high intensity exercise.

We conclude that MHO can improve mood disturbances, especially in the fatigue-inertia and tension-anxiety domains, after high-intensity exercise. This study suggest that MHO is potentially an effective recovery method for mood states after high-intensity training.

The aim of this study was to analyze the set-play goals achieved and VAR influence in the 2018 World Cup as well as to examine their impact on game outcome.

We analyzed 71 goals that have been scored from a set-play during the 2018 World Cup. We did not include the goals achieved during penalty process. Chi-square analysis was used and the level of significance was set at p<0.05.

Overall, 42% of all goals came from set-plays in 64 matches of this tournament, which is on average 1.1 per match. The team that scored one or more goals via set-plays, won 71.1% of the occasions (X²=24.368, p<0.001). Results showed that 22 goals achieved from corner kicks, and the most effective delivery area was the goal center area. Most of the goals (75.0%) from indirect free kick came from the sides, which had significant difference with the central area (X²=4.000, p<0.05). All the goals (6) from direct free kick, were scored from the central area out of the 16.5m box and the distance was <25m from the goal in all of them. In total, 17 referee decisions changed after VAR reviews and 9 resulted in goals and 89% of them impact the current game outcome.

The findings of this study highlighted the importance of scoring from set plays to game outcome. Coaches should be aware of the above findings in to order to make their teams more effective both in terms of attacking and defending a set-play situation.

Acetabular protrusio (AP) is associated with distorted anatomic landmarks and insufficient bone stock that increases complexity of total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study used a large national database to compare outcomes after THA in patients with and without AP.

The Nationwide Readmissions Database was used to identify patients with and without AP who underwent THA from 2010 to 2014. Primary outcomes analyzed included complications during index hospitalization and within 90 days of THA.

Propensity score matching generated 4,395 patients without AP and 4,603 patients with AP. Patients with AP were older (68.1 versus 65.2 years, P < 0.0001), more predominantly women (82.1% versus 55.9%), and had more medical comorbidities as measured by the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (2.29 versus 1.89, P < 0.0001). Patients with AP had an increased risk of requiring bone graft (odds ratio [OR] = 47.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] 14.27 to 161.22), receiving a blood transfusion (OR = 1.90, 95% CI 1.57 to 2.29), and suffering a periprosthetic fracture (OR = 2.56, 95% CI 1.10 to 5.97) within 90 days of THA. Length and cost of index hospitalization were greater for patients with AP (5.0 versus 4.3 days, P = 0.002; $19,211.88 versus $27,736.30, P < 0.0001).

Given the current emphasis on hospital cost optimization, it is important to ensure that patients with AP are managed appropriately. Attention should be placed on comprehensive preoperative planning and postoperative monitoring in this population.

To evaluate research listed as “Submitted” on orthopaedic surgery residency applications for eventual publication rates and quality.

As the orthopaedic surgery residency selection process becomes increasingly competitive, the number of research publications listed on applications continually increases. However, the utility of using publications listed as “Submitted” in the applicant evaluation process remains unknown.

Demographic and publication data were retrospectively collected from 1303 applications to an orthopaedic surgery residency program. see more The PubMed database was used to verify “Submitted” publications for (1) publication fruition or (2) publication mismatch, defined as discordance between the listed journal of submission and the eventual journal of publication.

A total of 594 applications (45.6%) listed ≥1 publication as “Submitted.” Out of 1636 “Submitted” publications, 565 were unverifiable (32.5%). Of the 1071 verified publications, 362 (33.8%) experienced publication mismatch. Within this subgroup, a significant difference existed between the mean impact factors of the listed journal of submission and the eventual journal of publication (1.5 ± 2.7 versus 3.0 ± 2.5, P < 0.01). Demographic data were not predictive of having an unverified publication.

Publications listed as “Submitted” in orthopaedic surgery residency applications frequently remain unpublished or are published in less impactful journals than originally intended.

Distal radius fracture (DRF) open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a common surgical procedure. This study assesses reasons and risk factors for readmission after DRF ORIF using the large sample size and follow-up of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.

Adult patients who underwent DRF ORIF were identified in the 2011 to 2016 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Patient demographics, comorbidity status, hospital metrics, and 30-day perioperative outcomes were tabulated. Readmission, time to readmission, and reason for readmission were assessed. Reasons for readmission were categorized. Risk factors for readmission were assessed with multivariate analyses.

Of 11,124 patients who underwent DRF ORIF, 196 (1.76%) were readmitted within 30 days. Based on multivariate analysis, predictors of readmission (P < 0.05) were as follows American Society of Anesthesiologist class > 3 (Odds ratio [OR] = 2.87), functionally dependent status (OR = 2.
