Foam Rolling (FR) is a type of self-massage used in sports and rehabilitation. The evidence on its effects has significantly increased in recent years; however, the extent to which novel research findings on FR have been implemented in practice remains unknown. Thus, we aimed to survey and document responses on the application, contraindications, and adverse events of FR among German-speaking sports and rehabilitation professionals. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted, which included 21 items relating to four key topics: (i) participant characteristics, (ii) FR application parameters, (iii) contraindications, and (iv) adverse events. Overall, 776 participants consented to participate. 68.6% of respondents indicated using FR in their practice. Average duration of FR was recommended at 3.2 min per body region. Smooth rollers were primarily used (82.9%). Pursued goals and observed effects were largely congruent and subjective methods were mainly used to assess effects. 90.9% of FR-users considered contraindications in practice, with pain being the most commonly noted factor. Headaches and tissue inflammation were the most reported side effects. While 32.4% believed that no adverse events can be expected, most respondents found however adverse events such as tissue inflammation plausible. An assumed lack of scientific evidence for positive effects was the most frequently cited reason for non-use of FR. Although our results demonstrate congruency between research findings and practical application across various parameters, researchers and practitioners should collaborate closely to disseminate knowledge, establish guidelines, and expand the FR evidence base, particularly regarding adverse events.

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding is a global initiative to ensure healthy growth from an early age. Colostrum, the first breast milk, provides essential nutrients and immunity support, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. Objective: To describe the knowledge of postpartum mothers about colostrum before and after health education. Methods: This study used a pretest–posttest design without a control group. Results: Before the intervention, 5 respondents (16.6%) had good knowledge, while 16 respondents (53.4%) had poor knowledge. After health education, 17 respondents (56.6%) demonstrated good knowledge, and only 3 respondents (10.1%) remained in the poor knowledge category. Conclusion: Health education significantly improved postpartum mothers’ knowledge about colostrum.

Reduced shear strain and deformability of the thoracolumbar fascia has been linked to low back pain. A number of ultrasound examination methods have been developed for laboratory rather than clinical practice. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and discriminative validity (patients vs. healthy individuals) of an ultrasound (US) measurement method for the quantification of thoracolumbar fascia deformation (TLFD). A cross-sectional study with US assessment and rater blinding was conducted in a manual therapy clinic and a university laboratory. 16 acute low back pain (aLBP) patients and 15 healthy individuals performed a standardized trunk extension task. US measurements of TLFD were carried out independently by two raters by imaging the TLF in the starting and ending positions of the movement. Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were calculated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and minimal detectable changes (MDC) were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the cut-off for TLFD to discriminate the study groups. Kappa statistics were performed to assess rater agreement in discrimination. Intra-rater reliability was excellent (ICC: .92, MDC: 5.54 mm, p < .001) and inter-rater reliability was good (ICC: .78, MDC: 8.70 mm, p < .001). The cut-off for TLFD was 6 mm with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 93.75% and the raters agreed moderately (κ = 0.74, p < .001) when distinguishing patients and controls. The reliability of the US method for assessing TLFD is moderate to excellent, and the ability to discriminate aLBP patients from healthy individuals is moderate. The method could be used to capture an additional parameter in morphological aLBP screenings.

Abstract&#x0D; Aims: In recent years, electro kinetic (EK) remediation has become more popular as a novel method for removing chromium contamination from soil. This approach, however, is ineffective since it uses both cationic and anionic forms of chromium. In this work, a membrane –based technique was employed to increase the efficiency of the electro kinetic removal of chromium.&#x0D; Methods: Chromium removal from polluted sludge was studied in four bench-scale experiments, two of which used distilled water (EK-1, EK2 &amp;amp; Membrane) and two of which used acetic acid as a catholyte (EK-3, EK4 &amp;amp;Membrane).&#x0D; Results: The pH, total chromium, and fractionation of chromium in the sludge were measured after remediation. In the EK-1, EK-2 &amp;amp; Membrane and EK-3, EK-4 &amp;amp; Membrane trials, the average removal efficiency of total chromium was 47.6%, 58.6%, and 74.4%, 79.6%, respectively.&#x0D; Conclusion: In contrast to the electro kinetic remediation strategy, which left approximately 80% of the sludge neutral or alkaline after treatment, the use of the membrane created acidic soil conditions throughout the sludge. For example, the high field intensity used in the membrane tests may have helped to facilitate chromium desorption, dissolution and separation from the sludge, as well as enhance chromium mobility. The findings show that the membrane can improve the effectiveness of chromium removal from sludge when utilized in the EK remediation process.

Alterations in posture, lumbopelvic kinematics, and movement patterns are commonly seen in patients with low back pain. Therefore, strengthening the posterior muscle chain has been shown to result in significant improvement in pain and disability status. Recent studies suggest that thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) has a major impact on the maintenance of spinal stability and paraspinal muscle activity, and thus is likely to have an equal impact on deadlift performance. Aim of the study was to evaluate the role of thoracolumbar fascia deformation (TFLD) during spinal movement in track and field athletes (TF) as well as individuals with and without acute low back pain (aLBP). A case-control study was performed with n = 16 aLBP patients (cases) and two control groups: untrained healthy individuals (UH, n = 16) and TF (n = 16). Participants performed a trunk extension task (TET) and a deadlift, being assessed for erector spinae muscle thickness (EST) and TLFD using high-resolution ultrasound imaging. Mean deadlift velocity (VEL) and deviation of barbell path (DEV) were measured by means of a three-axis gyroscope. Group differences for TLFD during the TET were examined using ANOVA. Partial Spearman rank correlations were calculated between TLFD and VEL adjusting for baseline covariates, EST, and DEV. TLFD during deadlifting was compared between groups using ANCOVA adjusting for EST, DEV, and VEL. TLFD during the TET differed significantly between groups. TF had the largest TLFD (-37.6%), followed by UH (-26.4%), while aLBP patients had almost no TLFD (-2.7%). There was a strong negative correlation between TLFD and deadlift VEL in all groups (r = -0.65 to -0.89) which was highest for TF (r = -0.89). TLFD during deadlift, corrected for VEL, also differed significantly between groups. TF exhibited the smallest TLFD (-11.9%), followed by aLBP patients (-21.4%), and UH (-31.9%). TFLD maybe a suitable parameter to distinguish LBP patients and healthy individuals during lifting tasks. The cause-effect triangle between spinal movement, TFLD and movement velocity needs to be further clarified. https://drks.de/register/de/trial/DRKS00027074/, German Clinical Trials Register DRKS00027074.

ZusammenfassungIn diesem Artikel übertragen wir psychologische und neurologische Erkenntnisse und Strömungen zur Gesellschaft und Kriminalität auf Cybercrime. Wie ziehen Theorien aus der forensischen Psychologie, Kindheit und Erziehung und Autismus heran und bringen sie in Beziehung mit den Erkenntnissen aktueller kriminologischer Forschung am Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) oder des Kriminologischen Forschungsinstitut Niedersachsen e. V.. Der prozentuale Anteil von Taten zu Cybercrime im Innenbereich ist 40–70 %. Die Kenntnis von psychologischen und neurologischen Erkenntnissen und Strömungen, Kommunikation und Kommunikationsarten, das Erkennen von Lügen und Manipulation können Taten im Cybercrime wie Social Engineering oder Phishing, welche Innentäter:innen im Innenbereich von Unternehmen oder Behörden ausüben, verringern.
