Secondary measures of interest included; lower body explosive power, muscle reactivity, balance performance parameters and body composition. A longitudinal controlled trial was implemented to determine the effect of utilizing previously quantified jumps and hops with specific cues provided for jump-landings. Participants; Fifty-seven women (age, 42.4 ± 5.50 y; body mass, 70.2 ± 11.5 kg; height, 165.4 ± 0.10 cm; body fat, 31.5 ± 6.20%) were assigned to a jump (JL) or control (CON) group. The JL performed periodized jumping-landing exercises up to five times per week for 12-months. Linear mixed model regression analysis was used to determine if differences existed between the JL and CON. Significant group main effects (P<0.01) in favour of the JL (↑0.41 - ↑3.72%) were observed for bone mineral density and bone mineral content at the femoral neck, total hip and lumbar spine. Significant group main effects (P<0.01) for cross-sectional area, cortical thickness and section modulus at the femoral narrow neck were also in favour of the JL (↑2.78 - ↑3.84%). For ground contact time, improvements in the JL over the CON between baseline and 12-months were apparent (↑21.9% vs. ↓8.86%) with significant group and time effects (P<0.01) being observed. A longitudinal quantified periodized jumplanding program performed 2-3 mins/day; 4-5 times a week is osteogenically effective in improving bone strength at clinically relevant lower body sites associated with osteoporosis in premenopausal women.","PeriodicalId":33070,"journal":{"name":"Anatolian Journal of Family Medicine","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78157149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A working group of six prominent local practitioners from six medical centers and hospitals across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia developed a series of consensus statements on current best practice in smoking cessation using available literature and the Delphi technique. Results: Four key topics were identified: Increasing awareness of smoking cessation programs; creating a patient journey that results in high patient satisfaction; Addressing healthcare professional engagement and greater accountability in the delivery of smoking cessation programs; Exploring the role of government/policymakers in shaping smoking cessation programs and providing incentives. Within each of these topics, members were well aligned on the consensus statements after the first round of the Delphi process, with >80% agreement on all statements. The strength of supporting evidence from the literature, including clinical guidelines and best-practice articles in smoking cessation published between 2016 and 2021, was considered ‘strong’ for the majority of the consensus statements. Conclusions: The guidance provided here in the form of consensus statements derived from published data combined with real-world experience aims to provide key stakeholders essential advice on the promotion and delivery of smoking cessation in Saudi Arabia, a country in which tobacco consumption remains high.","PeriodicalId":33070,"journal":{"name":"Anatolian Journal of Family Medicine","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87809206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Prediction Model for COVID-19 Patient Visits in the Ambulatory Setting","authors":"Lind Rc, Harrison Ck, Jurkovitz Ct, Ndura K, Papas Ma, Kerzner Rk, Teal C, Chiam T","doi":"10.26420/jfammed.2022.1283","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26420/jfammed.2022.1283","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: Healthcare systems globally were shocked by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Policies put in place to curb the tide of the pandemic resulted in a decrease of patient volumes throughout the ambulatory system. The future implications of COVID-19 in healthcare are still unknown, specifically the continued impact on the ambulatory landscape. The primary objective of this study is to accurately forecast the number of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 weekly visits in primary care practices. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a single health system in Delaware. All patients’ records were abstracted from our electronic health records system (EHR) from January 1, 2019 to July 25, 2020. Patient demographics and comorbidities were compared using t-tests, Chi square, and Mann Whitney U analyses as appropriate. ARIMA time series models were developed to provide an 8-week future forecast for two ambulatory practices (AmbP) and compare it to a naïve moving average approach. Results: Among the 271,530 patients considered during this study period, 4,195 patients (1.5%) were identified as COVID-19 patients. The best fitting ARIMA models for the two AmbP are as follows: AmbP1 COVID-19+ ARIMAX(4,0,1), AmbP1 nonCOVID-19 ARIMA(2,0,1), AmbP2 COVID-19+ ARIMAX(1,1,1), and AmbP2 nonCOVID-19 ARIMA(1,0,0). Discussion and Conclusion: Accurately predicting future patient volumes in the ambulatory setting is essential for resource planning and developing safety guidelines. Our findings show that a time series model that accounts for the number of positive COVID-19 patients delivers better performance than a moving average approach for predicting weekly ambulatory patient volumes in a short-term period.","PeriodicalId":33070,"journal":{"name":"Anatolian Journal of Family Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83099206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
