Comportamiento de la frecuencia crítica de fusión ocular en atletas de carreras de la preselección nacional de atletismo

La correcta combinación del volumen y la intensidad de los estímulos de cargas de entrenamiento y el control del impacto que tienen en el organismo los deportistas constituyen dos de los aspectos que más interés despiertan en el deporte de alto rendimiento. La presente investigación tiene como describir el comportamiento de la FCFO antes y después de someterse a carreras en la pista, en tres macrociclos de los deportistas de las modalidades de carreras de la preselección nacional de atletismo y comprobar si estos valores se diferencian en función de los diferentes mesociclos de preparación y del género. El estudio se realizó con 38 deportistas (20 hombres y 18 mujeres) sometidos a 84 mediciones de la prueba Flicker o Fatigtest-USB, antes y después de la carga en tres macrociclos, en los que se incluían diversos mesociclos de preparación. Se realizó el análisis estadístico de los datos a través del SSPS, versión 20.0, específicamente la prueba ¨t¨ de Studenty el análisis de varianza. Los resultados demostraron que existe un aumento significativo de los valores de frecuencia crítica de fusión ocular y, por consiguiente, de los niveles de activación cortical después de la carga, sin existir diferencias significativas entre estos valores en los diferentes tipos de mesociclos, aunque sí existieron diferencias significativas entre los valores promedios de los hombres y de las mujeres antes y después de la carga; los valores manifestados por los hombres fueron inferiores. Estos análisis constituyeron referencias para la interpretación de los valores de la prueba y así poder mejorar en el proceso del control psicológico del entrenamiento y la asesoría a los entrenadores acerca de la adecuada asimilación de las cargas de entrenamiento.

A combinação correta do volume e intensidade dos estímulos das cargas de treinamento e o controle do impacto que elas têm sobre o organismo dos atletas representam dois dos aspectos que mais despertam o interesse pelo esporte de alto rendimento. O objetivo desta pesquisa é descrever o comportamento do FCFO antes e depois de se submeter a correr em pista, em três macrociclos dos atletas das modalidades de corrida da pré-seleção nacional de atletismo e verificar se estes valores diferem de acordo com os diferentes mesociclos de preparação e gênero. O estudo foi realizado com 38 atletas (20 homens e 18 mulheres) que foram submetidos a 84 medições do teste Flicker ou Fatigtest-USB, antes e depois da carga em três macrociclos, que incluíram diferentes mesociclos de preparação. A análise estatística dos dados foi realizada usando SSPS, versão 20.0, especificamente Studenty's ¨t¨ teste e análise de variância. Os resultados mostraram que há um aumento significativo nos valores da frequência crítica de fusão ocular e, consequentemente, nos níveis de ativação cortical após a carga, sem diferenças significativas entre estes valores nos diferentes tipos de mesócitos, embora houvesse diferenças significativas entre os valores médios de homens e mulheres antes e depois da carga; os valores relatados pelos homens eram menores. Estas análises constituíram referências para a interpretação dos valores do teste, a fim de melhorar no processo de controle psicológico do treinamento e aconselhamento aos treinadores sobre a assimilação adequada das cargas de treinamento.

The correct combination of the volume and intensity of the stimuli of training loads and the control of the impact that they have on the organism of the athletes constitute two of the aspects that awaken more interest in the high performance sport. The present research aims to describe the behavior of the critical eye-fusion frequency (FCFO in Spanish) before and after undergoing track races, in three macrocycles of athletes of the running modalities of the national athletics preselection and to check if these values differ according to the different mesocycles of preparation and gender. The study was carried out with 38 athletes (20 men and 18 women) subjected to 84 measurements of the Flicker or Fatigtest-USB, before and after the load in three macrocycles, which included different preparation mesocycles. Statistical analysis of the data was performed through SSPS, version 20.0, specifically Studenty's ¨t¨ test and analysis of variance. The results showed that there is a significant increase in the values of critical frequency of ocular fusion and, consequently, in the levels of cortical activation after the load, without significant differences between these values in the different types of mesocycles, although there were significant differences between the average values of men and women before and after the load; the values reported by men were lower. These analyses constituted references for the interpretation of the test values in order to improve in the process of psychological control of training and advice to trainers about the adequate assimilation of training loads.

The use of commercially available non-medical grade USB cameras for physician guided ENT out-patient self-examination during the COVID-19 pandemic

Objective@#To describe the use of commercially available, non-medical grade USB cameras in a non-contact examination of simple cases involving the ears, nose and oral cavity of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic @*Methods@#Design: Instrument innovation. Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital. Participants: Patients who consulted at the ENT-HNS outpatient department during the COVID-19 pandemic. @*Results@#Commercially available USB cameras were able to provide basic visualization of the ears, nose and oral cavity. The non-medical grade USB cameras captured lower quality images when compared to the medical grade endoscopes but provided enough visualization to aid in the examination and diagnosis of simple cases. There was a learning curve in using the set-up but patients were able to adjust well, taking an average time of 2.7 minutes to complete the examination. @*Conclusion@#Non-medical grade USB cameras may play a role in aiding otolaryngologists in examining simple cases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Integration of this system into current examination practices may offer an extra layer of protection for otolaryngologists and patients alike. However, the use of these instruments as part of regular ENT practice may be controversial and will need further study.

Development of a Personal Health Record System Based on USB Flash Drive and Web Service / 대한의료정보학회지

OBJECTIVE: The development of information communication technology (ICT) and the demand for managing the healthy lives of individuals are accelerating the informatization of the health and medical field. Considering this environment and the needs of the individual, this paper has designed and developed a web and mobile storage device-based personal health record (PHR) system that individuals can manage by themselves anywhere, anytime, whether on-line or off-line. Based on the experience of implementing the system, its development method, results, and relevant technical issues are described. SYSTEM DESIGN AND DESCRIPTION: This system is implemented to manage PHR, including vital signs and ingested/consumed calories for a lifetime by connecting a PHR-integrated web server to each hospital's information system, and the PHR programs installed in the individual's PC or USB flash memory drive. To achieve this, an interface module, web server system, and PHR viewer program for individuals are developed. RESULTS: When it is off-line, the PHR program is operated to inquire the data saved in the DB, and the self-measured information can be inputted. When it is on-line, it calls the web service function to inquire the medical information, including hospital visit history, prescription history, diagnosis result, image inspection result and medical treatment result. CONCLUSION: This system connects home and mobile healthcare to hospitals but minimizes information leakage because the data is not accumulated. By loading a plug & play, PHR viewer to an easy-to-carry mobile storage device, the systems supports a sustainable health management.
