The prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity in children and adolescents from Ukraine
The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of obesity, overweight and underweight in Ukrainian children. The study took the format of a cross-sectional design where a representative sample of 13,739 was taken for the children. Measures taken from the children included body weight and height and the Body Mass Index (BMI) obtained from these. Results were interpreted based on standards of the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) International Obesity Taskforce (IOTF) and the World Health Organization (WHO).Results indicated that 12.1% of children are underweight, 17.6% overweight and 12.6% obese among children aged 12 to 18 years. More of the young populations are obese than the old in the country. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among Ukrainian children is higher than the average for Europe that stands at 30%. However, compared to the US, 18.5% obesity in children, Ukraine children are less obese. Included in the article are measures that would help reduce the prevalence of overweight at a national level (Dereń et al., 2018).
This article is relatively relevant to an average reader in the US. While it does not indicate the impact of the high rate of overweight and obesity, it shows that the US leads the world in cases of obesity and overweight. It has the capacity to influence group decision making more than individual based decisions. The article left out the most relevant information such as factors that have contributed to the high rate of overweight and obesity among children in Ukraine. Another important information that would have been included in the article are measures to control the overweight epidemic at an individual level (Dietz et al., 2015). Another important information would be methods to determine one’s weight status to determine if they are safe or not.

intervention to people with stroke: Barriers and
enablers experienced by community
rehabilitation teams
Annie McCluskey1*†, Sandy Middleton2,3*†
Abstract
Background: Transferring knowledge from research into practice can be challenging, partly because the process
involves a change in attitudes, roles and behaviour by individuals and teams. Helping teams to identify then target
potential barriers may aid the knowledge transfer process. The aim of this study was to identify barriers and
enablers, as perceived by allied health professionals, to delivering an evidence-based (Level 1) outdoor journey
intervention for people with stroke.
Methods: A qualitative design and semi-structured interviews were used. Allied health professionals (n = 13) from two
community rehabilitation teams were interviewed, before and after receiving feedback from a medical record audit and
attending a training workshop. Interviews allowed participants to identify potential and actual barriers, as well as enablers to
delivering the intervention. Qualitative data were analysed using theoretical domains described by Michie and colleagues.
Results: Two barriers to delivery of the intervention were the social influence of people with stroke and their
family, and professionals’ beliefs about their capabilities. Other barriers included professionals’ knowledge and skills,
their role identity, availability of resources, whether professionals remembered to provide the intervention, and
how they felt about delivering the intervention. Enablers to delivering the intervention included a belief that they
could deliver the intervention, a willingness to expand and share professional roles, procedures that reminded
them what to do, and feeling good about helping people with stroke to participate.
Conclusions: This study represents one step in the quality improvement process. The interviews encouraged
reflection by staff. We obtained valuable data which have been used to plan behaviour change interventions
addressing identified barriers. Our methods may assist other researchers who need to design similar behaviour
change interventions.
Background
Translating Evidence into Practice
Translating evidence into practice, or implementation is
an active process involving individuals, teams and orga-
nisations [1]. Knowledge translation is an important
final step in the process of evidence-based practice. This
step is challenging and involves changes in attitude and
behaviour. Researchers cannot assume that an interven-
tion which demonstrates a positive effect and has been
described in a high impact journal will be translated in
practice [2]. Nor should researchers assume that the
majority of people with a health condition will receive
that intervention [3].
Barrier identification is an important first step in the
process of knowledge translation [4]. Failure to anticipate
problems and barriers may lead to disa.

Pulse Wave Velocity: Theory, Applications, Methods, and Future DirectionsInsideScientific
Lee Stoner, PhD and Gabriel Zieff, MA present a complete, in-depth overview of their research involving Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) in a variety of different applications and a deep dive into the methods they use to record high-quality, repeatable data.
Arguably, the “gold-standard” method for noninvasive assessment of cardiovascular disease risk is pulse wave velocity. The PWV is widely used in both epidemiological and physiological studies to assess arterial stiffness, a construct dependent on the functional and structural characteristics of a vessel. PWV is calculated by measuring the transit time of the arterial waveform between two points of a measured distance. The most widely studied path is between the carotid and femoral arteries, which represents the aorto-illiac pathway. Traditionally, these measurements are made using tonometers, which are highly sensitive pressure transducers. However, alternative approaches to tonometry are available, and pathways other than the aorta can be measured. These alternative approaches may be better suited for use with certain populations or study designs. The focus of the presentation is to assist the audience in identifying the correct research tool for their particular research paradigm. Specifically, these experts outline the theoretical principles underlying PWV, as well as the importance of this measure to both epidemiological and physiological studies. Subsequently, they highlight some of the different approaches for measuring PWV, including technical considerations. This is followed by discussion pertaining to the identification of the appropriate PWV measure for the specific study design and populations of interest. This includes consideration of internal and external validity. They end the session by providing some tips to facilitate high-quality PWV assessments.
Key Topics Include:
- Meaning and clinical importance of pulse wave velocity
- How to measure and interpret pulse wave velocity
- Considerations for internal- and external-validity
- Considerations for the measurement of pulse wave velocity of various study designs and populations

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Does Public Transit Promote Physical Activity?
1. Does Public Transit Promote
Physical Activity?
An Analysis of a 2015 Study
Shauna Ayres, Ashley Crawford, Camille McGirt,
Sarah Shaughnessy and Anne Schmidt
2. Public Health Problem
A Push for Physical Activity
Adequate levels of physical activity (PA)
can reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes,
and heart disease
A Push for Public Transit
More efficient mode of transport
Reduces environmental pollution
3. Previous Research
Cross-sectional studies have shown an association between healthy PA levels
and use of public transit 1 2 but there are limitations
• Confounders: neighborhood context, ridership characteristics
Are people who use public transit already more active?
• Substitution effect
Does public transit generate new PA?
1. Brown, et al (2015) 2. Saelens, et al (2014)
4. New Assessment
Public transit generates new physical activity: Evidence from
individual GPS and accelerometer data before and after light rail
construction in a neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

Longitudinal study: n=536
Three forms of analysis:
1. Within-person differences of PA before and after
construction of the light rail
2. Spatial clustering of PA around transit stops
3. Comparison of time spent on PA on days when
participants used LRT and days when they did not
6. Sampling and Representativeness
TARGET POPULATION
Salt Lake City Residents
SAMPLING FRAME
Residents within 2km of LRT line
SAMPLE
536 residents
Coverage Error
Non-probability
sampling
7. Construct Validity of IV (manipulated)
Novelty Effects:
Riding the new LRT is initially appealing, but this appeal
fades over time.
Reactivity to the Experimental Situation:
Participants may be more active because they know the
researchers are studying PA
8. Construct Validity of DV
Face Validity:
• GPS with accelerometers can measure movements
• Can determine duration and intensity
Content Validity:
• Doesn’t measure all types of PA
• Doesn’t measure in all environments
• May measure non-PA as PA
• Missing Heart Rate data
Criterion-Related Validity:
• Gold standard=
Doubly Labeled Water (DLW) device(Andre, 2007)
10. Internal Validity
Findings:
• Association:
the IV and DV both vary
• Temporality:
the IV occurs before the DV
• Nonspuriousness:
cannot be established
Analysis:
• Main threat: maturation
• Other threats:
history & testing
• Not threats: selection,
instrumentation,
regression to the mean,
& differential attrition
11. Statistical Conclusion Validity
Strengths
• Reliable measures:
accelerometer and GPS recorder (Jarret et al. 2015
and Aaland et al. 2015 & Noury-Dasvaux 2011 & Schipperijin 2014)
• Large sample size:
n=536 (good statistical power)
• Paired t-test
Weakness
• Attrition
lost 403 participants
12. Generalizability
Who: demographics are not presented
Where: small-medium metropolitan areas
When: currently relevant
How:
IV- type of public transit
DV- type of physical activity
13. Improving the Study
Recruiting Method:
• “Door to door canvassing”- Too Arduous
• Web/digital methods for recruitment
More accurate measures of PA:
• Defined PA: Minimum duration of 5 min.
with a minimum of 1000 accelerometer counts per minute
PA-Total=PA regardless of relationship with PA
PA-Transit=PA within a trip that contains public transportation
PA Other=PA that does not occur with a public transit segment
Longer assessment period:
• Possible Interrupted Time Series Design
O1 O2 X O3 O4
14. Overall Assessment
Study Strengths:
• Inclusion of literature
• Comparable results
• Study participants wore
accelerometers AND GPS recorders
• PA time relates to changes in transit
use
• Policy implications
• Reliables measures and large sample
size
Study Weaknesses:
• Attrition n=939 to n=536
• Non-probability sampling
• Did not complete additional
assessments
• Demographics
• Possible coverage error
• Information recording
• Threats to internal & external
validity
