INTRODUCTION: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is one of the most common running-related injuries. PURPOSE: The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence of PF and identify potential risk or protective factors for PF in runners and non-runners. METHODS: Data from 1206 participants from the 4HAIE cohort study (563 females/643 males; 715 runners/491 non-runners; 18-65 yr of age) were included in the analysis. We collected biomechanical data during overground running using a three-dimensional motion capture system at the baseline and running distance data via retrospective questionnaires and followed the participants for 12 months following the baseline data collection. Participants were asked weekly about any sports-related injury (including PF). A binary logistic regression was performed to reveal potential associations between running distance and biomechanical risk factors and PF while controlling for running distance, sex, and age. RESULTS: The total incidence of PF was 2.3% (28 PF from 1206 participants), 2.5% in runners and 2.0% in non-runners ( P = 0.248). Runners who ran more than 40 km·wk -1 had six times higher odds of suffering PF than individuals who ran 6-20 km·wk -1 ( P = 0.009). There was a significant association between maximal ankle adduction and PF; that is, runners with a lower abduction angle during the stance period had higher risk of PF ( P = 0.024). No other biomechanical variables indicated significant associations with PF. CONCLUSIONS: Regular running with a moderate weekly volume and more toeing out of the foot relative to the shank may reduce the risk against PF in runners, which may be useful for researchers, runners, coaches, and health professionals to minimize PF injury risk.

BACKGROUND: The actions required to achieve higher-quality and harmonised global surveillance of child and adolescent movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviour including screen time, sleep) are unclear. OBJECTIVE: To identify how to improve surveillance of movement behaviours, from the perspective of experts. METHODS: This Delphi Study involved 62 experts from the SUNRISE International Study of Movement Behaviours in the Early Years and Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance (AHKGA). Two survey rounds were used, with items categorised under: (1) funding, (2) capacity building, (3) methods, and (4) other issues (e.g., policymaker awareness of relevant WHO Guidelines and Strategies). Expert participants ranked 40 items on a five-point Likert scale from 'extremely' to 'not at all' important. Consensus was defined as > 70% rating of 'extremely' or 'very' important. RESULTS: We received 62 responses to round 1 of the survey and 59 to round 2. There was consensus for most items. The two highest rated round 2 items in each category were the following; for funding (1) it was greater funding for surveillance and public funding of surveillance; for capacity building (2) it was increased human capacity for surveillance (e.g. knowledge, skills) and regional or global partnerships to support national surveillance; for methods (3) it was standard protocols for surveillance measures and improved measurement method for screen time; and for other issues (4) it was greater awareness of physical activity guidelines and strategies from WHO and greater awareness of the importance of surveillance for NCD prevention. We generally found no significant differences in priorities between low-middle-income (n = 29) and high-income countries (n = 30) or between SUNRISE (n = 20), AHKGA (n = 26) or both (n = 13) initiatives. There was a lack of agreement on using private funding for surveillance or surveillance research. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a prioritised and international consensus list of actions required to improve surveillance of movement behaviours in children and adolescents globally.

Glioblastomas are aggressive brain tumors for which effective therapy is still lacking, resulting in dismal survival rates. These tumors display significant phenotypic plasticity, harboring diverse cell populations ranging from tumor core cells to dispersed, highly invasive cells. Neuron navigator 3 (NAV3), a microtubule-associated protein affecting microtubule growth and dynamics, is downregulated in various cancers, including glioblastoma, and has thus been considered a tumor suppressor. In this study, we challenge this designation and unveil distinct expression patterns of NAV3 across different invasion phenotypes. Using glioblastoma cell lines and patient-derived glioma stem-like cell cultures, we disclose an upregulation of NAV3 in invading glioblastoma cells, contrasting with its lower expression in cells residing in tumor spheroid cores. Furthermore, we establish an association between low and high NAV3 expression and the amoeboid and mesenchymal invasive phenotype, respectively, and demonstrate that overexpression of NAV3 directly stimulates glioblastoma invasive behavior in both 2D and 3D environments. Consistently, we observed increased NAV3 expression in cells migrating along blood vessels in mouse xenografts. Overall, our results shed light on the role of NAV3 in glioblastoma invasion, providing insights into this lethal aspect of glioblastoma behavior.

Cíl: Cílem longitudinální studie bude zjistit rozdíly v 24hodinovém pohybovém chování (24hMB) (tj. spánku, sedavém chování (SB) a pohybové aktivitě (PA)) u českých dětí po jejich přestupu z mateřské do základní školy (ZŠ) (resp. z první/druhé třídy ZŠ do vyšších ročníků ZŠ) s ohledem na socioekonomické zázemí rodin, výskyt nadměrné tělesné hmotnosti účastníků či účasti v organizované PA. Metodika: 24hMB bude monitorováno po dobu 7 dnů pomocí akcelerometrů ActiGraph u rodin z městských a venkovských obcí z regionů Čech, Moravy a Slezska, jejichž členové dokončili první etapu výzkumu v období března 2022 až května 2023. Celkem 260 rodin, které dokončily první etapu výzkumu, poskytlo v rodinném deníku kontaktní údaje a nevyloučilo možnost pokračovat ve výzkumu ve druhé etapě v roce 2025/2026. Rodinný deník bude kromě informací o každodenním času uléhání/vstávání, době trávené před obrazovkou/monitorem/displejem obsahovat i informace o účasti v organizované PA, antropometrická data a údaje o rodinném zázemí. Výsledky: Z první etapy výzkumu vyplynulo, že celkem 25,9 % dívek a 26,7 % chlapců splnilo všechna tři doporučení ke spánku, PA a SB současně a dalších 44,7 % dívek a 46,1 % chlapců dosáhlo alespoň kombinaci dvou z těchto tří doporučení, bez rozdílů mezi pohlavím, věkovou kategorií nebo úrovní tělesné hmotnosti dětí. Nadměrná tělesná hmotnost matek významně (p < 0,05) snížila šanci dětí dosáhnout alespoň dvou ze tří doporučení, zatímco vysokoškolské vzdělání rodičů a dodržování alespoň dvou ze tří doporučení matkami významně (p < 0,05) zvýšilo pravděpodobnost, že také děti doporučení dodrží. Účast dětí v organizované PA významně (p < 0,05) zvyšuje jejich šanci na dosažení alespoň dvou ze tří doporučení k 24hMB. Závěry: První etapa longitudinálního výzkumu poukázala na stěžejní rodinné faktory (úroveň vzdělání rodičů, matčina úroveň tělesné hmotnosti a míra dosažení doporučení k 24hMB, podpora aktivní účasti dětí v organizované PA) zvyšující šanci dětí ke splnění zdravotních doporučení pro 24hMB.

Objective: The aim of this longitudinal study will be to investigate the differences in 24-hour movement behaviour (24hMB) (i.e., sleep, sedentary behaviour (SB) and physical activity (PA)) in Czech children after their transition from kindergarten to primary school (or from first/second grade to upper grades of primary school) with respect to the socioeconomic background of families, the prevalence of overweight participants or participation in organised PA. Methods: 24hMB will be monitored for seven days using ActiGraph accelerometers in families from urban and rural areas in the Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia regions, whose members completed the first phase of the study between March 2022 and May 2023. The 260 families who finished the first phase of the research provided their contact details in the family diary and have not ruled out the possibility of participating in the second phase in 2025/2026. The family diary will include information on daily bedtime and wake-up times, screen time, and participation in organised PA, as well as anthropometric data and family background information. Results: The findings from the first phase of the research showed that a total of 25.9% of girls and 26.7% of boys met all three guidelines on sleep, PA and SB simultaneously, and 44.7% of girls and 46.1% of boys achieved at least a combination of two of the three guidelines. No differences were observed between gender, age, or body weight levels of the children. Maternal excess body weight significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the odds of children achieving at least two of the three guidelines, whereas parental higher education and maternal adherence to at least two of the three guidelines significantly (p < 0.05) increased the odds that children also complied with the guidelines. Children’s participation in organised PA significantly (p < 0.05) increased their chances of achieving at least two of the three 24hMB guidelines. Conclusions: The first phase of the longitudinal research highlighted key family factors (parental education level, mother’s body weight, adherence to 24hMB guidelines, and support for children’s active participation in organised PA) that increase children’s chances of meeting guidelines for 24hMB.

The poor prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) contributes to a yearly increase in CRC mortality, while microRNAs (miRNAs) were found to play a regulatory function in diversiform cancers, including CRC. The objective of this research was to evaluate the clinical value and possible regulatory mechanisms of miR-767-5p in CRC. The expression level of miR-767-5p in CRC tissues and cells was examined. The Kaplan-Meier curve was utilized to analyse the function of miR-767-5p in CRC prognosis. The independent prognostic factors in CRC were assessed by a multivariate COX regression analysis. Additionally, the regulatory mechanism of miR-767-5p in CRC was determined through an in vitro cell experiment. The miR-767-5p expression was down-regulated in CRC tumour tissues and CRC cells. Indicators such as tumour differentiation, TNM, LNM and miR-767-5p were identified as independent prognostic factors for a poor CRC prognosis. The regulatory relationship between miR-767-5p and nuclear factor I A (NFIA) was verified by the dual-luciferase reporter assay, and the NFIA expression level was significantly suppressed by over-expressed miR-767-5p. The proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells were inhibited by over-expressing miR-767-5p, while the inhibition effect could be reversed by over-expressing NFIA. The over-expressed miR-767-5p could serve as a tumour suppressor to inhibit the progression of CRC by suppressing the expression level of NFIA.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of performing either eccentric-only (ECC) or eccentric-concentric (ECC-CON) back squats (BS) with a supramaximal load on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. Changes in front thigh skin surface temperature and mechanical properties (oscillation frequency and stiffness) of the vastus lateralis were also examined. Fourteen male powerlifters participated in this study (age: 22.5 ± 2.3 years, body weight: 84.2 ± 11.1 kg, height: 178 ± 7 cm, training experience: 5.4 ± 1.6 years, BS one-repetition maximum [1RM]: 177 ± 22.8 kg). The experimental sessions included 2 sets of 2 BS at 110% 1RM of either ECC-CON (load distributed by half on the barbell [55%] and on weight releasers [55%]) or ECC (only eccentric phase of BS) and CTRL with no CA applied. CMJ performance, mechanical properties, and skin surface temperature were measured before and at the third, sixth, ninth, and 12th min. After each protocol, only the ECC-CON condition led to a significant increase in CMJ height after individual optimal rest time compared to pre-CA (38.1 ± 5.2 vs. 39.8 ± 5.0 cm; p = 0.003; effect size [ES] = 0.32; Δ = 4.9 ± 5.0%) with a significant rise in skin surface temperature (32.98 ± 1.24 vs. 33.69 ± 0.96°C; p = 0.006; ES = 0.62; Δ = 2.2 ± 2.6%) and no significant changes in mechanical properties of the vastus lateralis. The ECC-CON condition led to a significant acute improvement in CMJ height and an increase in front thigh skin surface temperature among powerlifters. The ECC-CON supramaximal lower limb PAPE protocol should be effectively used among males representing high levels of lower limb muscle strength (>2 × body mass).

We aimed to determine the persisting effects of various exercise modalities and intensities on functional capacity after periods of training cessation in older adults. A comprehensive search was conducted across the Cochrane Library, PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection up to March 2024 for randomized controlled trials examining residual effects of physical exercise on functional capacity in older adults ≥ 60 years. The analysis encompassed 15 studies and 21 intervention arms, involving 787 participants. The exercise and training cessation periods ranged from 8 to 43 weeks and 4 to 36 weeks, respectively. Meta-analyses were performed using change scores from before the physical exercise to after the training cessation. The effect sizes (ES) were calculated as the standardized mean differences between the intervention and control groups' change scores. Subgroup analyses and meta-regressions explored the influence of participant characteristics, the magnitude of the effect produced by the initial training program, various exercise modalities (resistance and multicomponent training) and intensities (high and low), and subdomains of functional capacity (agility, balance, standing ability, walking ability, and stair walking). The findings revealed that exercise interventions had a significant effect on preserving functional capacity after training cessation (ES = 0.87; p < 0.01). This protective effect was consistent across various exercise modalities and intensities (ES ≥ 0.67; p ≤ 0.04). The benefits obtained during the training program were positively associated with the residual effects observed after training cessation (β = 0.73; p < 0.01), while age negatively influenced the persisting adaptations (β = -0.07; p < 0.01). Current evidence suggests that exercise-based interventions, irrespective of modality and intensity, are highly effective in preventing functional declines after training cessation among older adults.

PURPOSE: A healthy lifestyle may prevent or mitigate late effects in childhood, adolescent and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors. To support survivors in adopting healthier behaviours, the PanCareFollowUp (PCFU) Lifestyle intervention was developed, encompassing 4 months of online lifestyle coaching aimed at achieving a personal lifestyle goal. The aims of this study were to (1) determine the efficacy of this intervention on lifestyle outcomes over time and (2) identify predictors for goal achievement. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-eight survivors were enrolled. Outcomes were assessed at baseline (T0), after 4 months of coaching (T1) and after 4 months of follow-up (T2). The primary outcome included the percentage of survivors successful in achieving and sustaining their goal, whereas secondary outcomes included differences in body mass index (BMI), diet and physical activity. To evaluate the adjusted, longitudinal effects on secondary outcomes, linear mixed models were estimated. Predictors for goal achievement were identified through logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: At T1 and T2, 68% and 76% of goals were achieved or sustained, respectively. Mean differences between T2 and T0 showed significant improvements in BMI (-0.5 kg/m2), diet (-0.6 points) and physical activity (+7.7 h/week). Estimation of multivariable models also showed positive effects. Participants with a lower BMI and fewer depressive feelings at baseline were more likely to achieve and/or sustain their goals at T2. CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that the PCFU Lifestyle intervention supports survivors in making lifestyle changes. Results can be used to inform a subsequent randomised intervention study and integrate lifestyle coaching into care.

Current diagnostic methods for dyslexia primarily rely on traditional paper-and-pencil tasks. Advanced technological approaches, including eye-tracking and artificial intelligence (AI), offer enhanced diagnostic capabilities. In this paper, we bridge the gap between scientific and diagnostic concepts by proposing a novel dyslexia detection method, called INSIGHT, which combines a visualisation phase and a neural network-based classification phase. The first phase involves transforming eye-tracking fixation data into 2D visualisations called Fix-images, which clearly depict reading difficulties. The second phase utilises the ResNet18 convolutional neural network for classifying these images. The INSIGHT method was tested on 35 child participants (13 dyslexic and 22 control readers) using three text-reading tasks, achieving a highest accuracy of 86.65%. Additionally, we cross-tested the method on an independent dataset of Danish readers, confirming the robustness and generalizability of our approach with a notable accuracy of 86.11%. This innovative approach not only provides detailed insight into eye movement patterns when reading but also offers a robust framework for the early and accurate diagnosis of dyslexia, supporting the potential for more personalised and effective interventions.
