ABSTRACT: Rodríguez-Marroyo, JA, Blanco, P, Foster, C, Villa, JG, and Carballo-Leyenda, B. Expanding knowledge about the effect of measurement time on session rating of perceived exertion. J Strength Cond Res 37(1): 230-233, 2023-The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of postexercise rating times (from 0 minutes to 4 weeks) on session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE). Twenty-five athletes (12 women and 13 men) from different sports (sprinting, endurance running, cycling, and volleyball) were involved in this study. At least 3 training sessions per subject were quantified based on sRPE using a visual analog scale. The scale was administered immediately after, at 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, 24, 48, and 72 hours, and 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks postexercise. In addition, the effect of rating time on sRPE was studied according to the training intensity. For this, the training sessions were classified (based on the 30-minute rating) as easy (sRPE < 3), moderate (sRPE 3-5), and hard (sRPE > 5). A significant (p < 0.001) main effect of the postexercise rating time on sRPE was found. There were significant (p < 0.05) differences between sRPE obtained at 30 minutes and those obtained immediately after hard training sessions and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks postexercise. There was no significant effect of rating time on sRPE in the easy and moderate training sessions. In conclusion, the present data suggest that athletes' sRPE may be obtained in a valid and reliable manner within a time frame of 5 minutes to 72 hours posttraining. The effect of postexercise rating time on sRPE seems to be conditioned by the training intensity, especially in those training sessions whose training intensity was high (sRPE > 5).

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical outcomes of flapless, immediate implant placement with simultaneous augmentation of dehiscence defects and immediate provisional restoration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective evaluation of 40 periodontal patients who received a flapless immediate implant for single-tooth replacement with simultaneous augmentation of dehiscence defects and immediate provisional restoration, at follow-up periods ranging from 1 year minimum to 7 years maximum. Dehiscence defects were augmented using autogenous bone grafts and/or deproteinized bovine bone mineral, and autogenous or allogeneic connective tissue grafts. The following aspects were evaluated: clinical success (Clinical Oral Implants Research, 8, 1997, 161), crestal bone loss (calibrated digital periapical X-rays) and aesthetics (Pink Esthetic Score, PES). Additionally, a questionnaire was devised to obtain patient's subjective evaluation. RESULTS: A 98.3% (95% CI: 91%-99%) success rate was observed. At 8 weeks, mean bone loss was 0.47 mm (n = 39); between 8 weeks and 1 year, this va lue attained 0.24 mm and between years 1 and 5 years 0.06 mm (n = 9). The evaluated PES in 37 single-tooth implants was 12.4, with PES = 7 (aesthetic failures) in two cases, and aesthetic outcomes were excellent (PES ≥ 12) in 29 cases (78.4%). When compared with the contralateral tooth, a recession under 1 mm was observed in 78% of cases. The patient's subjective satisfaction value ranged from 98% to 100%. CONCLUSION: This type of minimally invasive treatment of alveoli with buccal plate deficiencies delivers, in the hands of an experienced clinician, a high clinical and aesthetic success percentage being rated by patients as satisfactory. Clinicians should be aware that 1-2 mm comparative recession could be observed.

PURPOSE: To illustrate the workflow for simultaneous LeFort I maxillary advancement and zygomatic implant (ZI) placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three consecutive patients referred for the rehabilitation of the severely atrophic maxilla were treated with simultaneous LeFort I maxillary advancement and ZI placement. An evaluation of the treatment protocol was carried out to validate the proposed workflow: indications, treatment planning, surgical splint manufacturing, surgical procedure and prosthetic loading. RESULTS: Maxillary reposition was carried out according to the previous virtual planning. Consequently, in all cases extrasinusal or sinus slot paths were used, proper emergence of the implant platform fully surrounded by alveolar bone was ensured, and full-arch rehabilitation supported by ZI was performed. A straight facial profile was achieved postoperatively in all cases and no surgical complications were noted. No resorption of maxillary distal bone was evident at the end of the first year of follow-up. However, a mean relapse of -4.3 mm (-10.06%) was evidenced for maxillary downward movement, and conversely, an extra-forward maxillary movement was observed (mean +1.4 mm, +82.8%) in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: Besides restoring oral function and aesthetics, this technique avoids donor site morbidity, decreases surgical time, and shortens the overall rehabilitation period.

Objetivo: evaluar el impacto de una intervención acerca de los conocimientos relacionados con las infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITS) y los servicios sanitarios disponibles en adolescentes escolarizados en el barrio del Raval Nord (Barcelona). Método: estudio cuasi-experimental pre-post intervención en adolescentes mayores de 14 años escolarizados en 3º y 4º de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y 1º y 2º de Bachillerato de tres centros. Variables: sociodemográficas, conductas de riesgo (11 ítems con respuesta escala Likert 0-10), uso de preservativo, inicio de relaciones sexuales, consumo de alcohol y otras drogas, conocimiento de servicios sanitarios y de las ITS. Intervención con tres unidades didácticas: conductas de riesgo y formas de contagio; síntomas, conocimiento y tratamiento de las ITS; uso de servicios sanitarios.Tratamiento y análisis de los datos: Chi cuadrado y U de Mann Whitney para analisis bivariante con variables sociodemográficas. Se calcularon intervalos de confianza al 95% de seguridad (IC95%). Resultados: se estudiaron 211 adolescentes, 56,8% mujeres, media de edad: 15,4 años. El 79,6% procedía de fuera de Europa. El 30,3% había iniciado relaciones sexuales y el 32,4% utilizaba siempre preservativo. El 61,9% no asoció nunca alcohol ni otras drogas en la relación. El VIH es la ITS más conocida (59,8%). Los hombres tienen una percepción de riesgo menor que las mujeres. Post-intervención la percepción de riesgo global aumenta, así como el conocimiento de los servicios sanitarios y de las ITS. Conclusiones: existe déficit de conocimientos de los adolescentes acerca de las ITS. Los conocimientos sobre las ITS, la percepción de riesgo y los recursos sanitarios mejoraron tras la intervención
Objective: to evaluate the impact of an intervention on the knowledge about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the healthcare services available among adolescents attending school in the Raval Nord neighborhood (Barcelona). Method: a quasi-experimental study before and after the intervention in adolescents >14-year-old attending 3rd and 4th term of Secondary School and 1st and 2nd term of High School in three centres. Variables: sociodemographical, risk behaviours (11 items with answer through the 0-10 Likert Scale), use of condoms, initiation of sexual relationships, use of alcohol and other drugs, knowledge of healthcare services and of STIs. An intervention with three educational units: risk behaviours and ways of infection; symptoms, knowledge and treatment of STIs; use of healthcare services. Data treatment and analysis: Chi Square and Mann Whitney's U for bivariate analysis with sociodemographical variables. Confidence intervals were calculated at 95% safety (CI95%). Results: the study included 211 adolescents: 56.8% were female, with 15.4 years as mean age. Of these, 79.6% came from outside Europe, 30.3% had initiated sexual relationships, and 32.4% always used condoms; 61.0% of them never associated alcohol or other drugs with their relationship. HIV was the most widely known STI (59.8%). Men had a lower perception of risk than women. After the intervention, there was an increase in their overall perception of risk, as well as in their knowledge of healthcare services and STIs. Conclusions: there is lack of knowledge among adolescents about STIs. After the intervention, there was an improvement in their knowledge of STIs and healthcare services, as well as in their perception of risk
