Abstract Injuries occur when an athlete performs a greater amount of activity than what their body can withstand. To maximize the positive effects of training while avoiding injuries, athletes and coaches need to determine safe activity levels. The International Olympic Committee has recommended using the acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) to monitor injury risk and has provided thresholds to minimize risk when designing training programs. However, there are several limitations...

This paper has been written to stimulate a debate in our specialty. A debate that we feel is long overdue. We are greatly concerned that recruitment into our specialty is in terminal decline. Recently only 30% of posts were appointed to at ST3 national selection. And it is not a blip. We would welcome a lively debate through the pages of the BJOMS and perhaps a dedicated day at the RCS hosted by BAOMS.

The recent article by Awal et al1 in this journal triggered me to share some information. In Germany, there is also huge variation in the aesthetic surgery curriculum among oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS), plastic surgery, and otorhinolaryngology (ORL). The recent study by Momeni and colleagues2 showed the lack of aesthetic surgery training in plastic surgery residency in Germany. This situation is similar for German OMFS training. Although OMFS trainees stay in their department for the entire...

Fatal lower level falls commonly result from ladder fall injuries (LFIs), an often-avoidable injury. We hypothesized that older patients’ injury severity differs from younger patients falling from the same mechanism with fall height determining overall morbidity. A retrospective review was completed of all traumatic LFIs during a 6-year period resulting in 178 patients. The mean LFI height was 10.9 ± 6.0 feet, the majority being male (87%), with a mean age of 50.7 ± 16.6 years. The mean ISS was 7.7 ± 7.0...

Wide excision margins are traditionally recommended for phyllodes tumours of the breast to reduce recurrence. Recent studies suggest margin status and histopathological features, excluding margin width, influence recurrence. This study evaluated treatment outcomes for phyllodes tumours and examined predictors of recurrence.

Λαίλιος: Ίσως κάποιος υποθέσει ότι ο πλούτος, τα υλικά αγαθά και η κοινωνική θέση σου -προνόμια που λίγοι κατέχουν στη ζωή- είναι αυτά πού σε κάνουν να μεγαλώνεις με ευχαρίστηση. Κάτων: Υπάρχει κάποια αλήθεια σε αυτό, Λαίλιε, αλλά υπάρχουν κι άλλες πλευρές. Θυμήσου την ιστορία με τον Θεμιστοκλή και τον άνδρα από τη Σέριφο. Διαφωνούσαν κάποτε οι δυο τους και ο άνδρας από τη Σέριφο κατηγορούσε τον Θεμιστοκλή πως ήταν γνωστός μόνο λόγω της φήμης της πόλης του και όχι για τα δικά του επιτεύγματα. «Μα...

Θυμάμαι τώρα εκείνη την πανάρχαια ιστορία της αράχνης που ήθελε να φυλάξει τις γνώσεις και τη σοφία της ανθρωπότητας σε μια φιάλη. Ό,τι έξυπνο διάβαζε ή ανακάλυπτε, το ψιθύριζε στο γυάλινο δοχείο κι έκλεινε βιαστικά το καπάκι, μην τυχόν δραπετεύσει κάποια γνώση. Όταν η αράχνη έκρινε ότι η φιάλη είχε πια γεμίσει, αποφάσισε να τη φυλάξει σε μια τρύπα που είχε ανοίξει η ίδια, πολύ ψηλά, σ’ ένα τεράστιο δέντρο. Να διατηρήσει τη γνώση στην αιωνιότητα, ασφαλή από οποιαδήποτε απειλή ή διαστρέβλωση. ...

Οι ιδέες του Τζον Νας έχουν χαραχτεί ανεξίτηλα στον κλάδο των μαθηματικών και την στρατηγική λήψη αποφάσεων, μέσω της Θεωρίας των Παιγνίων, όπου οι «παίκτες» λειτουργούν με λογική και εγωισμό, προσπαθώντας να προβλέψουν παράλληλα τι θα κάνουν οι υπόλοιποι «παίκτες». Η πλέον γνωστή ιδέα του Νας είναι η ισορροπία σε μη συνεργατικά παιχνίδια, η θεωρία στην οποία τεκμηριώνει πως ακόμη και ανάμεσα σε εγωιστικούς παίκτες υπάρχει μία λύση που αφήνει τους πάντες ικανοποιημένους. Η ξανθιά και οι μελαχρινές ...

Ο Σερ Αλεξάντερ Φλέμινγκ (6 Αυγούστου 1881 – 11 Μαρτίου 1955) ήταν Σκωτσέζος βιολόγος και φαρμακολόγος, που ασχολήθηκε ερευνητικά με τη βακτηριολογία, την ανοσολογία και τη χημειοθεραπεία. Είναι πολύ γνωστός για την ανακάλυψη του πρώτου αντιβιοτικού, της πενικιλίνης, το 1928, για την οποία και πήρε το Βραβείο Νόμπελ Φυσιολογίας και Ιατρικής το 1945 μαζί με τους Φλόρεϋ και Τσέιν. Μια άλλη σημαντική ανακάλυψή του είναι αυτή του ενζύμου λυσοζύμης, το 1922. Τα πρώτα χρόνια Ο Φλέμινγκ γεννήθηκε στο...

Ζητήθηκε από ανθρώπους γύρω στα σαράντα να αξιολογήσουν κρίσεις και απόψεις που είχαν εκφράσει είκοσι χρόνια πριν: όλοι αντιμετώπισαν με μια ειρωνική αποστασιοποίηση τις σκέψεις εκείνες, ως νεανικά πάθη που δεν αντιπροσώπευαν πιστά αυτό που οι ίδιοι πίστευαν για τον εαυτό τους. Είκοσι χρόνια αργότερα οι ίδιοι άνθρωποι κλήθηκαν να αξιολογήσουν σκέψεις και ιδέες που είχαν στα σαράντα τους. Και πάλι η ομόφωνη αντίδραση ήταν η ειρωνική αποστασιοποίηση. «Κι άλλος ήμουν απ’ αυτόν που τώρα μαζί του μιλάτε»,...

Abstract The Early Holocene (12–8.2 cal ka) deglaciation and pulsed warming was associated in Iceland with two major generations of jökulhlaups around the Vatna ice-cap (Vatnajökull), at ca 11.4–11.2 cal ka and ca 10.4–9.9 cal ka, and major tephra emissions from the Grímsvötn and Bárðarbunga subglacial volcanoes. The earliest flood events were recorded inland during the Middle Younger Dryas and their deposits were overlain by the Early Preboreal Vedde Ash (11.8 cal ka). The first...

Nucleophosmin (NPM1) has been suggested to be involved in the pathophysiologic mechanism of inflammatory disorders. We measured the expression level of NPM1 in nasal polyp (NP) tissues of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). We also assessed the correlation between NPM1 expression and other parameters such as eosinophilic infiltration, inflammatory cytokines, and clinical indicators such as Lund-Mackay computed tomography (CT) score.
