Esports: What Do Pediatricians Need to Know?

Esports has seen a massive increase in the number of players, especially adolescents. Given the recent addition of gaming disorder as a diagnostic disorder, it is especially timely to understand the pattern and psychological factors associated with Esports. Esports is a recent phenomenon, and there is very limited awareness about its related consequences among child health professionals. The aim of this article is to familiarize pediatricians with these games/Esports, as well as gaming disorder assessment and management. Because digital life begins at a young age, pediatricians can empower parents to foster healthy digital citizenship. [Pediatr Ann. 2022;51(6):e254-e256.].

Social media use and health promoting lifestyle: an exploration among Indian nursing students.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the use of social media and the health promoting lifestyle profile of indian nursing students. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 125 students (89 undergraduate and 36 graduate) from various Nursing universities in India, who provided information on their sociodemographic data, the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP-II). RESULTS: Regarding the BSMAS, the participants had an average of 12.8 (maximum possible = 30); 42% reported they frequently delayed their sleep due to using social media; 9% had excessive use of social media; by gender, men had higher total score than women. With respect to the health promoting lifestyle profile, the total average was 126.9 (maximum possible = 208); no difference was observed by gender in the total score and men scored better in the domain of physical activity; students living with their families had higher scores in the domain of health responsibility than those living alone; and graduate students had better scores than undergraduate students in the scale total and in the domains of health responsibility, spiritual relations, and interpersonal relations. CONCLUSIONS: There is excessive use of social media, especially among male students. This study also revealed lower scores than those desired in the domains of Health Promoting Lifestyle, especially for physical activity, health responsibility, stress management, and nutrition. Thereby, the findings may be used to improve health literacy on social media, as well as promote a positive lifestyle among nursing students.

Objetivo. Evaluar el uso de las redes sociales y el estilo de vida promotores de salud los estudiantes de enfermería hindúes. Métodos. Se hizo un estudio de corte transversal con la participación de 125 estudiantes (89 de pregrado y 36 de posgrado) de varias universidades de enfermería en India brindaron información sobre datos sociodemográficos, la Escala de adicción a las redes sociales de Bergen (BSMAS) y el Perfil de estilos de vida promotores de salud (HPLP-II). Resultados. Con respecto al BSMAS los participantes tuvieron un promedio de 12.8 (máximo posible = 30); un 42% reportó que con frecuencia tenía retraso en el sueño debido al uso de las redes sociales; un 9% tiene uso excesivo de las redes sociales; por sexo, los hombres tuvieron mayor puntaje total que las mujeres. Pasando al Perfil de estilos de vida promotores de salud -HPLP-II- el promedio total fue de 126.9 (Máximo posible = 208); no se observó diferencia por sexo en el puntaje total y los hombres tuvieron mejor puntaje en el dominio de actividad física; los estudiantes que residen con su familia tienen mayor puntaje en el dominio de responsabilidad en salud que los que viven solos; y los estudiantes de posgrado tienen mejores puntajes que los de pregrado en el total de la escala y en los dominios de responsabilidad de salud, las relaciones espirituales y las relaciones interpersonales. Conclusión. Hay un uso excesivo de las redes sociales, especialmente entre los estudiantes varones. Este estudio también reveló puntuaciones más bajas de las deseadas en los dominios de estilos de vida promotores de la salud, especialmente para la actividad física, la responsabilidad de la salud, el manejo del estrés y la nutrición. Por lo tanto, los hallazgos se pueden utilizar para mejorar la alfabetización en salud en las redes sociales, así como para promover un estilo de vida positivo entre los estudiantes de enfermería.

Objetivo. Avaliar o uso de redes sociais e promotores de saúde no estilo de vida de estudantes de enfermagem hindus. Métodos. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com a participação de 125 estudantes (89 de graduação e 36 de pós-graduação) de várias universidades de enfermagem da Índia, que forneceram informações sobre dados sociodemográficos, a Escala de Adição de redes sociais Bergen (BSMAS) e o Perfil dos promotores de saúde no estilo de vida (HPLP-II). Resultados. Em relação à Escala de Dependência em Redes Sociais - BSMAS - os participantes tiveram uma média de 12.8 (máximo possível = 30); 42% relataram que frequentemente tiveram atraso no sono devido ao uso de redes sociais; 9% fazem uso excessivo de redes sociais; por sexo, os homens tiveram uma pontuação total mais alta que as mulheres. Indo para o Perfil de Estilo de Vida dos Promotores de Saúde - HPLP-II -, a média total foi de 126.9 (Máximo possível = 208); nenhuma diferença foi observada por sexo na pontuação total e os homens tiveram melhor pontuação no domínio da atividade física; os estudantes que residem com suas famílias obtêm pontuação mais alta no domínio da responsabilidade em saúde do que os que moram sozinhos; e os estudantes de pós-graduação obtêm uma pontuação melhor do que os graduados na escala geral e nos domínios de responsabilidade com a saúde, relacionamentos espirituais e relacionamentos interpessoais. Conclusão. Há um uso excessivo de redes sociais, especialmente entre estudantes do sexo masculino. Este estudo também revelou pontuações mais baixas do que o desejado nos domínios do estilo de vida que promovem a saúde, especialmente em atividade física, responsabilidade em saúde, controle do estresse e nutrição. Portanto, os resultados podem ser usados para melhorar a alfabetização em saúde nas redes sociais, bem como para promover um estilo de vida positivo entre os estudantes de enfermagem.

Measurement and analysis of cross sections for (p,n) reactions in 51V and 113In.

Excitation functions (EFs) for the reactions 51V(p,n)51Cr up to 15 MeV and 113In(p,n)113Sn up to 20 MeV from threshold have been measured employing the stacked foil activation technique. To the best of our knowledge EF for the reaction 113In(p,n)113Sn has been reported for the first time. The theoretical analysis of the EFs has been done employing both the semi-classical as well as quantum mechanical codes which include compound nucleus and pre-equilibrium (PE) emission into consideration. In general, theoretical calculations agree well with the experimental data. Effect of various free parameters used in the calculations have also been discussed. A significant contribution of pre-equilibrium component has been observed at these energies.
