Objectives: The objective is to discuss the effects of whey protein on the aerobic exercise ability of football players. Methods: A total of 36 college football players were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 18 in the control group given pure water for athletes and 18 in the observation group given whey protein as an athlete’s supplementary ability; both groups underwent 8 weeks of physical training with additional energy intake within 1 h before and after training, and physical fitness tests and blood biochemical indices were observed and recorded. Results: Compared with the control group, the erythrocyte function of the observation group was more significant, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05), while the results of physical fitness tests in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The application of whey protein to soccer players can strengthen the protection of erythrocyte function and has certain application value.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore the effect of rehabilitation training combined with psychological nursing on the daily life ability of patients with craniocerebral injury. Methods: Forty‑eight patients with craniocerebral injury from August 2015 to April 2017 were selected as the study participants, and they were randomly divided into control group and observation group. Twenty‑four cases in the control group were treated with routine care, and 24 cases in the observation group were treated with psychological nursing and rehabilitation training. The exercise function, daily activity ability, and satisfaction degree of the two groups were analyzed. Results: Compared with the observation group, the recovery of exercise ability was lower in the control group than that in the observation group, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the recovery of daily living activity of patients in the observation group was more remarkable, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The patients’ satisfaction in the control group was significantly lower than that in the observation group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The application of rehabilitation training and psychological nursing in clinical nursing of patients with craniocerebral injury can speed up the recovery function of patients.

DOI: 10.4103/MTSM.MTSM_24_19

Context:
The effect of bromfenac on tear production of 100 healthy participants aged 16–35 (mean age 23.65 ± 4.38 years) was studied using Schirmer’s test.Aim:
This study, therefore, is primarily geared toward finding out whether the observed positive effect of bromfenac on the management of dry eye is only as a result of its anti-inflammatory effect on the ocular surface.Settings and Design:
The pretest, posttest method of experimental design was used and the posttest was at 30-min interval. The tear production was evaluated before and after the administration of 0.09% of bromfenac.

Materials and Methods:
Participants were first screened of any systemic or ocular problems. The tear production of the participants’ right eye (OD) was measured before the topical administration of bromfenac. A drop of bromfenac was administered, and the tear production of the same OD was measured at 30, 60, and 90 min later and recorded.

Glue sniffing is a widespread phenomenon among street children in many developing countries, including Bangladesh. It involves inhaling volatile solvents, such as glue, paint thinner, or gasoline, to achieve a psychoactive effect. Glue sniffing exposes children to various health and social hazards, such as respiratory problems, brain damage, addiction, violence, and stigma. This study aims to investigate the socioeconomic factors that influence glue sniffing among street children in Chittagong, the second-largest city in Bangladesh, and to explore its impacts on their lives and wellbeing. The study finds that glue sniffing is mainly driven by poverty, family breakdown, peer pressure, and lack of education and opportunities. The study also reveals that glue sniffing negatively impacts the children’s physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing and social relationships and prospects. The study recommends that effective interventions address the root causes of glue sniffing and provide comprehensive support and rehabilitation for the affected children. The study also suggests that further research is needed to understand the dynamics and diversity of glue sniffing among street children in different contexts and settings

This paper presents an analytical study of the characteristics of participants in a health study that aimed tounderstand the relationship between several demographic and health factors. Data were collected on gender,age, and health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, history of stroke, smoking, and chest infections. Acomprehensive analytical methodology was used that included distributing participants based on thesefactors, where the results showed a difference in gender (61.8% males and 38.2% females) and aconcentration in older age groups. Logistic regression analysis was also applied to identify factors influencingthe likelihood of developing certain health conditions, which revealed negative effects for chest infections,smoking, blood pressure, and diabetes, while gender (male) had a positive effect. The paper highlights theimportance of understanding these complex relationships, calling for further research to examine the effectsof these factors on public health.

ABSTRACT

ADVANCES AND CHALLENGES IN EXTERNAL CEPHALIC VERSION FOR FETAL POSITIONING: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

External cephalic version (ECV) is a critical obstetric intervention aimed at repositioning breech or transverse-presenting fetuses to a cephalic position, thereby reducing the likelihood of cesarean deliveries and associated complications. This review explores key dimensions of ECV, including ethical and psychological considerations, clinical recommendations, and future directions. Ethical concerns centre on informed consent and shared decision-making, emphasizing the importance of transparent communication and patient autonomy. The psychological impact, particularly maternal anxiety and its influence on procedural outcomes, highlights the need for empathetic patient care and psychological support. Clinical recommendations underscore the significance of evidence-based practices, including the use of ultrasound guidance, effective pain management, and careful patient selection to maximize procedural safety and success rates. A multidisciplinary approach involving obstetricians, midwives, ultrasonographers, and anesthesiologists is essential for delivering comprehensive care. Barriers to ECV, such as provider knowledge gaps, patient acceptance, and resource constraints, particularly in low-resource settings, necessitate targeted interventions to improve accessibility and uptake. Emerging trends in ECV, including technological advancements like improved imaging techniques and the exploration of non-invasive alternatives, show promise for enhancing procedural efficacy and patient acceptance. However, gaps in research remain, particularly concerning the long-term psychological outcomes of ECV and the role of cultural factors in shaping patient attitudes. Addressing disparities in access to ECV through mobile health units, community-based training, and innovative solutions is critical for ensuring equitable care. ECV is a valuable procedure with the potential to improve maternal and fetal outcomes, but it requires a patient-centred, multidisciplinary approach. Future research and innovation should focus on addressing barriers, leveraging technology, and promoting equitable access. By advancing clinical practice and integrating ethical and psychological considerations, ECV can continue to evolve as a safe, effective, and widely accessible intervention for managing malpresentation.
