Barbara, Janet Mann. "BEHAVIORAL DEVELOPMENT IN WILD BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN NEWBORNS (TURSIOPS SP.)." Behaviour 136, no. 5 (1999): 529–66. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/156853999501469.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractNewborn characteristics, patterns of motoric and social behavioural development, and mother-infant relationships in free-ranging and semi-provisioned bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) are examined. Nine newborns were observed for 189 hours over the first 10 weeks of life. Newborn infants breathe more often than their mothers, and synchronize their breathing and swimming with her soon after birth, but show a gradual decline in synchrony as they age. Virtually all patterns of infant behaviour, mother-infant proximity, and spatial relationships with the mother changed as a function of infant age. Maternal activity, however, does not change over time, except that mothers decrease their role in maintaining proximity to their infants from the first month to the second month of infant life. Infants spend less time close to their mothers, less time echelon swimming (close, alongside the mother), and more time infant-position swimming (in contact under the mother) as they age. Infants spend more time traveling and socializing independently over time. They also separate from their mothers more often and for longer periods of time. Infants do not forage during the newborn period, but are observed 'practice foraging' by the end of the first month. Rubbing, petting, chasing, and displaying with other animals (including the mother) were common forms of socializing. Infants frequently initiate rubbing with their mothers, with particular focus on her head region. Infants typically associate with young females, adult females and other infants, but not with adult or subadult males. Developmental shifts and overall patterns are discussed in the context of the bottlenose dolphin's fission-fusion social organization and ecology. The effects of provisioning on dolphin behaviour are addressed.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, infant swimming is a rather relevant topic. Swimming has a beneficial effect on the child’s body as a whole, strengthening its nervous system and improving sleep, appetite, and adaptive capacity, as well as stimulating metabolism.Aim. To study infant swimming as a progressive direction in improving child health from birth to 3 years old. The objective was to study the importance of infant swimming, consider its main techniques, highlight indications and contraindications, conduct and analyze a survey among parents on this topic. Early start of swimming significantly improves the child’s health, or reduces the current health problems. The skill of independent swimming is not the main goal. The main goal is effective hardening, strengthening immunity and health, correcting identified abnormalities and stimulating proper development.The division of the education period of infants into stages is conditional and depends on the individual characteristics of a child. It is important to observe the basic hardening principles: consistency and graduality.Also, we conducted a survey of parents to study and understand their opinions on teaching swimming. Relevant conclusions were drawn from the results. The relevance of this topic and the need for more active promotion of infant swimming is evidenced by the fact that 69% of parents surveyed consider it necessary to provide home courses on infant swimming. Also, 84% spoke in favor of the need to open specialized centers for teaching swimming for children from birth to 3 years old.

AbstractThe aim of study was to assess infants’ behaviour during routine swimming sessions using a naturalistic observation method. The study sample included 14 infants (13.7±7.5 months old) with previous aquatic experience. The frequency of occurrences per unit of time (session) in the different dimensions – infant’s motor behaviour and social-affective interaction – was registered over the course of two sessions by two independent experts. The behaviours most frequently observed were accompanied displacement (61.1%) and interaction with others (41.6%). Submersions or jumps represented only 8.4% of the session. Implementing a child-centred methodology leads to positive behaviours during this type of sessions, contributing to the child’s healthy development.

Nowadays activities with the involvement of both children and parents are becoming increasingly popular. There are a variety of such activities, but in this study we focus on infant floating. It is very important how parents feel themselves in such type of lessons and how they are able to perform the exercises with their infants independently and orient themselves in a specific aquatic environment. Parents’ competences in infant floating on the whole are often characterised by their insufficient knowledge, skills and practical abilities in maintaining correct and proper behaviour in the aquatic environment. Therefore, the aim of our study is to explore and analyse the assessment of parents’ competences in infant floating. Based on the research results it would be possible to develop a more accurate model for the enhancement of the parents’ competences required for infant floating and put forward recommendations for improving parents' competences. An assessment survey of the parents' competences in infant floating was conducted from the beginning of September 2017 until the end of October. 33 swimming experts participated voluntarily in the assessment of parents’ competences in infant floating. The mean, standard deviation and mode was used to process the numerical data gathered from the responses. The content and statements put forward in the survey questionnaire regarding parents’ competences in infant floating were based on scientific concepts. The results of the survey of swimming experts indicate that all of the components proposed by the authors that influence parents’ competences in infant floating play a significant role. It could also be surely concluded that at present, the overall level of parental competence in infant floating in the opinion of experts is average. In general, all the surveyed swimming experts are of the opinion that parents should definitely supplement or acquire additional knowledge, skills and abilities in order to increase their level of competences in infant floating in order to be able to effectively apply these competences during independent lessons with their infants.

Background: Cleaning and disinfecting agents are widely used in modern life, in homes, schools, public places, and workplaces as well as in recreational facilities such as swimming pools. Use has been for sanitizing purposes and to assist in reduction of infection as well as for deodorizing purposes. However, adverse respiratory effects have been associated with use of cleaning products ranging from effects in infancy and early childhood up to adults at home and work. Methods: This review summarizes recent published literature on the effects of cleaning agents used pre-natally, in childhood and adult life, at home, work, and in swimming pools. Results: Several studies have indicated that there is an increased risk of developing asthma among adults with frequent exposure to cleaning products at work and in the home. Potential mechanisms include sensitization and respiratory irritant effects. Exposure to irritant chlorine by-products from swimming pools have also been associated with respiratory effects and increased risk of asthma. Potential effects from maternal exposures to cleaning products on infants, and effects on early childhood atopy are less clear. Conclusions: Exposure to cleaning agents increases relative risks of asthma among workers, and adults using these agents in the home. Risks are also increased with exposure to chlorinated by-products from swimming pools, both in adults and children. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms of these associations.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays there are not many investigation results about infant and baby's motor behavior in the aquatic environment. The present study seeks to describe it before the 40 months of age and to examine the relationship between the motor acquisitions and the chronological age, time of practice and program duration. A system of categories and sub-categories of baby's motor behavior was developed for two dimensions: breathing control and underwater orientation. This system was validated with obtained values of 96% of objectivity and 100% of consistency. Then, 101 babies and infants were evaluated between 3 and 40 months of age, some of them in different moments, in a total of 216 observations (N=216). Breathing control and underwater orientation skills were strongly correlated with chronological age, time of practice and program duration. All the correlations were positive with 0.75-0.86% and significant (Ïâ‰-0.01), meaning that as age, time of practice or program duration increases, the breathing control and underwater orientation skills showed clear improvement. Chronological ages for developmental steps in aquatic environment were identified. Results are discussed within a maturation-stimulation theoretical framework. The evaluation tool that was proposed and validated is ready for use and can be applied in other research settings.

Congenital dislocation of the hip is one of the most common diseases in children leading to disability, which is difficult to diagnose in the first days of life. In the structure of congenital orthopedic diseases congenital dislocation of the hip holds one of the first places. This determines the importance and urgency of the problem, as the most complete restoration of anatomical structures and functions of the hip joint in children occurs in the early diagnosis and comprehensive, timely begun treatment. Rehabilitation of children in the first year of life should be early, systematic, comprehensive and differentiated. Technique of rehabilitation stages conservative treatment includes: wearing functional tires, gymnastics, massage, physiotherapy, therapeutic swimming. This prevents the progression of the disease, the development of early and late complications, does not violate the static-dynamic functions without delay verticalization.

Hip joint dysplasia among children - congenital hypoplasia of femoral head, or congenital increased mobility of the joint due to the weakness of the ligamentous and muscular apparatus. Such a violation of the hip joint elements development (one or both) leads to an incorrect interposition of the joint structures, whereby the femoral head is displaced relative to the articular surface, formed subluxation, pre-dislocation or joint dislocation. This is a severe and common disease of the musculoskeletal system. Since medical treatment for dysplasia among newborn is not provided, and surgery is required only in extreme cases, therefore, active methods in the fight against this pathology are: specific orthopedic devices, physiotherapy, massage and exercise therapy. Thanks to these components, treatment therapy will strengthen the muscles, accelerate recovery, it will be fast and unobtrusive for the child. In this regard, we have developed the structure and content of physical rehabilitation for infants with hip joint dysplasia. This course was designed for four weeks and was developed a set of rehabilitation measures. The content of the course of physical rehabilitation includes orthopedic correction with the help of special devices, massage, therapeutic gymnastics in combination with fitball gymnastics and therapeutic swimming, physiotherapy. To assess the effectiveness of the physical rehabilitation program developed by us, we conduct an ascertaining pedagogical experiment - testing, clearly demonstrating the functional and motor state of the hip joints of the subjects before the beginning of the forming pedagogical experiment and at its end.

Full textAbstract:
The factors associated with submersion events among <20-year-old persons that occurred in King County from 1974 to 1983 were studied to focus prevention efforts. Near-drowning (n = 103) and drowning (n = 96) victims were identified from medical examiners' reports, paramedics' reports, and hospital discharge registers. Annual incidence was 5.5; the mortality rate was 2.6 per 100,000 children. Although preschool-aged children had the largest incidence (12.8), followed by older adolescents (4.9), adolescents had the largest case fatality rate, 77%. Lake and river victims had the largest incidence, mortality, and case fatality rate; swimming pools, the smallest case fatality rate (25%). A total of 89% of all victims had absent or no supervision; victims supervised by lifeguards had a 42% case fatality rate. Prior seizures were part of the history of 7.5% of all victims; 25% of fatal submersions by adolescents were associated with alcohol. Bathtub submersions were associated with child abuse in three of 16 preschool-aged children and epilepsy in four of five older children. Certain age groups and sites combined had the greatest incidence: preschool-aged children in swimming pools, infants in bathtubs, teenagers in lakes and rivers. Incidence decreased in public and semipublic pools coincident with fencing regulations. These findings suggest prevention strategies: extending fencing requirements to private pools, discouraging alcohol consumption during water sports, changing bathing practices of epileptics, and improving lifeguard efficacy.

Full textAbstract:
Drowning as a form of subtle fatal child abuse is difficult to distinguish from accidental immersion or from sudden unexpected natural death when the circumstances of immersion are concealed. Homicidal drownings are unwitnessed, usually occurring in the home, and the victims are young, either infants or toddlers. Accidental drownings are more likely to involve toddlers or older children in public areas such as swimming pools, drainage ditches, lakes, and rivers. This is especially true in rural areas. In cities, bathtubs remain a major site of accidental childhood drownings. Perpetrators of deliberate drownings often fit the sociopathologic profile of a child abuser. Because there is often a survival interval between immersion and death, pathologic findings consistent with postimmersion syndrome suggest the cause of death. Foreign material in the lungs, if immersion was other than in clear tap water, and injuries of the face are other positive correlating factors. A thorough investigation of the circumstances and cooperation between the investigating agency and the pathologist are essential to determine the correct manner of death in these cases.

Full textAbstract:
Summary The text deals with neurophysiological and kinesiological developmental principles associated with the early development of young children as the fundamental prerequisites for physical education in the aquatic environment. Swimming in infancy and early childhood using the developmental principles and understanding of individual variability represent enormous potential to create a positive attitude of the child to exercise in aquatic environments. We believe that the experience with these basic tasks can play a key role in future exercise habits and swimming literacy of the individual. Parents attending infant swimming courses led by an instructor acquire practical skills and deeper insight into principles of their child's motor learning. All activities in the aquatic environment at an early age should allow transfer of child’s experiences to preswimming education and result in full swimming literacy.

Antecedentes: A partir del conocimiento de la más amplia investigación realizada sobre la pura motricidad libre en bebés y niños desde los 3 meses hasta los 3 años de vida llevada a cabo por el Instituto Loczy en Budapest (Hungría), reformulamos las prácticas tradicionales de la natación temprana, generando recursos pedagógicos que eviten provocar en el agua posturas que los bebés y niños no hayan alcanzado por sí mismos en tierra, y que reemplacen las inmersiones dirigidas por el adulto en cualquiera de las etapas del aprendizaje.Objetivos: Se ha comprobado que esta nueva propuesta pedagógica no retarda el logro de la independencia acuática factible en edades tempranas, especialmente en lo referido a la coordinación de habilidades de equilibrio, respiración y movimientos propulsores.Método: El sostén adulto y las propuestas siguen las posturas alcanzadas por los bebés autónomamente, sin adelantar o forzar en el agua posturas o velocidades que el bebé no logre por sí mismo en tierra. Reemplazamos las inmersiones realizadas por adultos por propuestas lúdicas basadas en la iniciativa del bebé o niño y en la imitación en libertad de movimiento en piscinas playas. Creamos y mantenemos las condiciones estables de sostén a través de la formación de los maestros y la información a los padres. Llevamos un período de observación de cinco años, en clases regulares de natación con bebés y niños de 4 meses a 3 años (+/- 6 meses) con uno de sus padres en el agua. En este período el promedio de asistencia fue de 80 díadas mensuales, con una frecuencia mayoritaria de un estímulo de clase semanal.Resultados: El resultado más destacado de la experiencia es la innecesaridad de sumergir a los bebés para la estimulación de la pausa respiratoria en inmersión y la independencia acuática, una práctica emblemática de la actividad. Sin esta práctica, todos los bebés y niños observados realizaron uso espontáneo de la pausa respiratoria en inmersión desde que la realizan, y todos lograron organizar su respiración autónomamente, tanto en superficie como en inmersión, sin haber sido sumergidos por los adultos.Conclusiones: Buscamos con esta investigación cuidar el bienestar emocional temprano, que determina fundamentalmente la constitución de la vida psíquica del hombre en ciernes que vive, como explorador, en cada niño.Palabras clave: Equilibrio, respiración, tono, emoción, desarrollo, iniciativa, autonomía y estimulación. Title: The baby and the little boy in the water. Application of the principles of Emmi Pikler in aquatic pedagogy for early childhoodAbstract Introduction: 7 years ago we acquired knowledge of the broadest research to date on natural motor development based on pure free movement in babies and infants between 3 months old and 3 years of age, carried out by the Loczy Institute in Budapest (Hungary). Since then, we were inspired to reformulate traditional early age swimming practices. We did so by generating pedagogical resources that avoid provoking, when in water, postures that they haven’t already developed on land by themselves, replacing adult-conducted immersions in any of the learning stages.Goals: We verified that this new pedagogical proposal does not delay the achievement of early age feasible aquatic independence, especially when it comes to the coordination of balance, breathing and propellant motion skills. The unfolding of the infant’s initiative is the basis for a significate and delightful motor learning process.Method: The adult support and proposals follow the postures achieved by the babies autonomously, without overtaking or force in the water postures or speeds that the baby does not achieve by itself on land. We replace the dives made by adults for playful proposals based on the initiative of the baby or child and imitation in freedom of movement in swimming pools. We create and maintain stable conditions of support through teacher training and information to parents. We have a five-year observation period in regular swimming classes with infants and children aged 4 months to 3 years (+/- 6 months) with one of their parents in the water. In this period the average attendance was 80 monthly dyads, with a majority frequency of a weekly class stimulus.Results: The most outstanding result of the experience is the unnecessary immersion of the babies for the stimulation of the breathing pause in immersion and the aquatic independence, an emblematic practice of the activity. Without this practice, all infants and children observed spontaneous use of the breathing pause in immersion since they performed it, and all managed to organize their breathing autonomously, both in surface and immersion, without having been submerged by adults.Conclusions: This investigation we aim to take care of early age emotional wellbeing, which fundamentally determines the constitution of the psychic experience of the budding adult that lives, as and explorer, in each child.Keywords: Balance, breathing, tone, emotion, development, initiative, autonomy and stimulation. Título: O bebê e o menino na água. Aplicação dos princípios de Emmi Pikler em pedagogia aquática para a primeira infânciaResumoIntrodução: Há 7 anos conhecemos a mais ampla investigação realizada sobre o desenvolvimento motor baseado na motricidade livre pura , em bebés e crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 3 meses e os 3 anos de idade. Este estudo foi realizado pelo Instituto Loczy en Budapeste, na Hungria. Desde então, reformulámos as nossas práticas tradicionais de natação para bebés y crianças, através da criação de recursos pedagógicos que, evitem provocar na água posturas que os bebés e crianças ainda não tenham alcançado por si mesmos em terra, e que, substituam as imersões dirigidas pelo adulto em qualquer das etapas de aprendizagem.Objetivos: Verificámos que esta nova proposta pedagógica não atrasa a conquista da independência aquática possível de alcançar em idades baixas, especialmente no que se refere à coordenação das habilidades de equilíbrio, respiração e ações propulsivas. As possibilidades atribuídas ao bebé e à criança de poder ter iniciativa são a base de uma aprendizagem motora significativa e com sensação de prazer durante o processo.Método: O apoio e as propostas dos adultos seguem as posturas alcançadas pelos bebês de forma autônoma, sem ultrapassar ou forçar as posturas ou velocidades da água que o bebê não consegue por si só em terra. Nós substituímos os mergulhos feitos por adultos para propostas divertidas com base na iniciativa do bebê ou criança e imitação na liberdade de circulação em piscinas. Criamos e mantem condições estáveis de apoio através da formação de professores e informações aos pais. Temos um período de observação de cinco anos em aulas regulares de natação com bebês e crianças de 4 meses a 3 anos (+/- 6 meses) com um dos pais na água. Neste período, o atendimento médio foi de 80 díades mensais, com uma freqüência maioritária de um estímulo de classe semanal.Resultados: O resultado mais destacado da experiência é a imersão desnecessária dos bebês para a estimulação da pausa de respiração na imersão e a independência aquática, uma prática emblemática da atividade. Sem esta prática, todos os bebês e crianças observaram o uso espontâneo da pausa de respiração na imersão, uma vez que o realizaram e todos conseguiram organizar sua respiração de forma autônoma, tanto na superfície quanto na imersão, sem serem submersos por adultos.Conclusiones: Pretendemos com esta investigação cuidar do bem-estar emocional na infância, que é determinante na constituição da vida psíquica do homem que está em desenvolvimento, como explorador, em cada criança.Palavras-chave: Equilíbrio, respiração, tônus, emoção, desenvolvimento, iniciativa, autonomia, e estimulação.

Currently, there are conflicting views around the world regarding infant floating. There is no consensus on the most effective techniques for facilitating infant swimming skills. Infant floating is dominated by a therapeutic and pedagogical approach that ensures parents' involvement in the process. There is no unified methodology for infant floating in Latvia. Furthermore, the number of infant swimming specialists, as well as adequate infrastructure, is insufficient and limited. In the existing situation, it is important to increase parents' competence in infant floating so that parents are able to carry out infant bathing independently. The aim of the study is to develop a model for improving parental competence in infant floating. The main research methods comprised of studying and analysing scientific literature and modelling. The paper is based on 27 scientific literature sources, 22 of them in English, 2 in Latvian and 3 in Russian. The developed model of parental competence improvement in infant floating includes parents' theoretical knowledge of infant floating; independent research on infant floating; water safety; the application of infant floating skills under a specialist’s guidance and the ability to independently use acquired skills without guidance. In the future it will be possible to test the developed model to evaluate its usefulness in promoting parental competence in infant floating, thus ensuring parents' ability to float the infant independently.

Maternal exercise is crucial for promoting the health of the offspring. Previous studies showed that long-term maternal exercise improves energy metabolism during pregnancy. Whether swimming exercise can reverse the metabolic disorders caused by high-fat exposure in the early life of the offspring is yet to be elucidated. Three-week-old C57BL/6 female mice were randomly assigned to the standard chow diet group (SC), standard chow diet and exercise group (SC-Ex), high-fat diet group (HFD), and high-fat diet and exercise group (HFD-Ex). After swimming intervention for 13 weeks, male and female mice were caged, and the exercise intervention lasted until delivery. Then, the mothers were fed standard chow diet. A total of 8 offsprings/group were randomly selected after 4 weeks of lactation for GTT and ITT. After body composition analysis, the mice were sacrificed to obtain specimens. The levels of metabolism factors and IL-6 were measured by suspension microarray. Subsequently, 15 min after starting the GTT and ITT, the curve detected significant difference between the HFD and other groups. The body fat percentage of the HFD-Ex offspring was significantly lower than that of HFD offspring (p<0.05) irrespective of the gender. The levels of IL-6 and TG in the male offspring in the HFD-Ex group were improved significantly (p<0.05). Compared to the HFD offspring, serum glucose and GIP in the female offspring in the HFD-Ex group was significantly reduced (p<0.05). Long-term exercise of the mother effectively improved the metabolic disorder caused by high-fat exposure in the infant offspring. Thus, the metabolic inheritance of the offspring is gender-dependent; the maternal metabolism can make male offspring genetically susceptible.

ABSTRACTThe presence of the Lon protease in all three domains of life hints at its biological importance. The prokaryotic Lon protease is responsible not only for degrading abnormal proteins but also for carrying out the proteolytic regulation of specific protein targets. Posttranslational regulation by Lon is known to affect a variety of physiological traits in many bacteria, including biofilm formation, motility, and virulence. Here, we identify the regulatory roles of LonA in the human pathogenVibrio cholerae. We determined that the absence of LonA adversely affects biofilm formation, increases swimming motility, and influences intracellular levels of cyclic diguanylate. Whole-genome expression analysis revealed that the message abundance of genes involved in biofilm formation was decreased but that the message abundances of those involved in virulence and the type VI secretion system were increased in alonAmutant compared to the wild type. We further demonstrated that alonAmutant displays an increase in type VI secretion system activity and is markedly defective in colonization of the infant mouse. These findings suggest that LonA plays a critical role in the environmental survival and virulence ofV. cholerae.IMPORTANCEBacteria utilize intracellular proteases to degrade damaged proteins and adapt to changing environments. The Lon protease has been shown to be important for environmental adaptation and plays a crucial role in regulating the motility, biofilm formation, and virulence of numerous plant and animal pathogens. We find that LonA of the human pathogenV. choleraeis in line with this trend, as the deletion of LonA leads to hypermotility and defects in both biofilm formation and colonization of the infant mouse. In addition, we show that LonA regulates levels of cyclic diguanylate and the type VI secretion system. Our observations add to the known regulatory repertoire of the Lon protease and the current understanding ofV. choleraephysiology.

ABSTRACTCronobacterspecies are opportunistic pathogens commonly found in the environment. Among the sevenCronobacterspecies,Cronobacter sakazakiisequence type 4 (ST-4) is predominantly associated with recorded cases of infantile meningitis. This study reports on a 26-month powdered infant formula (PIF) surveillance program in four production facilities located in distinct geographic regions. The objective was to identify the ST(s) in PIF production environments and to investigate the phenotypic features that support their survival. Of all 168Cronobacterisolates, 133 were recovered from a PIF production environment, 31 were of clinical origin, and 4 were laboratory type strains. Sequence type 1 (n= 84 isolates; 63.9%) was the dominant type in PIF production environments. The majority of these isolates clustered with an indistinguishable pulsotype and persisted for at least an 18-month period. Moreover, DNA microarray results identified two phylogenetic lineages among ST-4 strains tested. Thereafter, the ST-1 and -4 isolates were phenotypically compared. Differences were noted based on the phenotypes expressed by these isolates. The ST-1 PIF isolates produced stronger biofilms at both 28°C and 37°C, while the ST-4 clinical isolates exhibited greater swimming activity and increased binding to Congo red dye. Given the fact that PIF is a low-moisture environment and that the clinical environment provides for an interaction between the pathogen and its host, these differences may be consistent with a form of pathoadaptation. These findings help to extend our current understanding of the epidemiology and ecology ofCronobacterspecies in PIF production environments.

Full textAbstract:
Nasal saline irrigation is a simple easy-to-do procedure that has been used to treat sinus and nasal conditions for many years. Wingrave in his 1902 paper “The Nature of Discharges & Douches” discussed cleansing of the nasal passages as an important method of treating different nasal illnesses in the last part of the 19th century.1 Nasal saline irrigation has been used for such sinonasal conditions as atrophic rhinitis, rhinosinusitis and allergic rhinitis, among infants with nasal problems and patients who have undergone endoscopic sinus surgery. Past recommendations for use were based on anecdotal evidence such as reports of patients living near the sea, whose symptoms improved with natural seawater irrigation while swimming.
The past two decades saw studies undertaken to support what has been in practice for many years. Taccariello studied 40 patients suffering from chronic sinusitis with 19 patients receiving traditional alkaline nasal douche and 21 patients receiving sterile sea water spray. Results showed that compared to the control group who received no treatment, douching per se improved endoscopic appearance and quality of life scores.2 Georgitis compared the use of nasal hyperthermia versus saline irrigation in patients with allergic rhinitis. Histamine levels fell with both forms of treatment with greatest declines seen with irrigation. Leukotriene C4 levels were significantly reduced by irrigation.3
Pediatricians have refrained from using oral and topical decongestants among infants. Excessive use of oral decongestants can result in cardiovascular side effects, while excessive use and sufficient absorption of topical decongestants can result in possible complications of CNS depression leading to coma and marked reduction in body temperature, especially in infants in whom these drugs should not be used.4 Nasal saline irrigation has become a good alternative.
Another common use follows endoscopic sinus surgery, when the nasal cavity quickly becomes encrusted, and frequent cleaning and saline irrigation are needed for 4-8 weeks until the lining of the nose and sinuses has regenerated.5 Nasal saline irrigation moisturizes the nasal cavity and reduces dryness of the nasal mucosa. It has become important in clearing nasal crusts and thick mucous in patients with rhinosinusitis and has been known for its beneficial effect among patients with sinonasal problems.
Saline solutions can be classified into isotonic or hypertonic, buffered or non-buffered. Preparations include powder, spray or mist forms; with and without preservative; and with and without dispenser. The number of available products in the market can make it difficult for the doctor to decide on what product to recommend for his suffering patient, ranging from inexpensive home-made preparations to very expensive imported solutions. Different studies will be presented which may help in this choice.
Isotonic or hypertonic solution
The main issue at hand is whether to use an isotonic or hypertonic solution. Traissac from the University ENT Hospital – Bordeaux, in a study of 410 patients using isotonic solution, showed the beneficial action on the nasal sinus mucosa in medical disease and after sugery.6 Tomooka (University of California, 2000) in a study of 211 patients using hypertonic saline solution, showed improvement in 23 of the 30 symptoms queried.7
Talbot, in 1997, demonstrated among 21 volunteers that 3% hypertonic saline solution decreased mucociliary saccharine transit times more than 0.9% normal saline, 3.1 minutes compared to 0.14 minutes less than baseline.8 This study was corroborated by Keojampa in 2004, demonstrating that buffered hypertonic saline improved saccharine clearance time more than buffered normal saline.9 Hypertonic saline solution decreases the viscosity of mucus which could have improved saccharine clearance time. However, it has been suggested that the saccharin dissolution method provides a less accurate assessment of mucociliary clearance against tagged insoluble particles, as the saccharin mixes between sol and gel layers of the mucociliary blanket and is not carried solely in the superficial gel layer.8
Boek from the University Hospital Utrecht studied the effect of different saline solutions on the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) of cryopreserved mucosa of the sphenoidal sinus measured by a photoelectric method. Results revealed that Locke-Ringer’s solution (LR) had no effect on the CBF, NaCI 0.9% had a moderately negative effect, NaCI 7% solution led to complete ciliostasis within 5 minutes (reversible after rinsing with LR), and 14.4% hypertonic solution had an irreversible ciliostatic effect. He concluded that LR is an isotonic solution with no effect on ciliary beat frequency.10 Therefore, it is probable that this solution is more appropriate than saline for nasal irrigation or antral lavage. This was further supported by the study of Min YG published in 2001, wherein isotonic and hypotonic solutions did not decrease ciliary beat frequency, but where ciliostasis was observed within a few minutes in the 3.0% and 7.0% solutions.11 Histologic changes showed disruption of nasal epithelial cells in vitro which could have resulted in decrease ciliary beat frequency in hypertonic solutions.
Buffered or non-buffered solution
The effect of pH on the rate of mucociliary clearance of the douching solution was also studied. One group was given hypertonic solution buffered to pH 8 and another group given non-buffered hypertonic solution.12 Results showed no difference in mucociliary clearance between solutions buffered to pH 8 and that which is non-buffered.12 In his paper, Taccariello noted that alkaline nasal douche improved endoscopic appearance but not the quality of life score, while sea water spray showed improved quality of life but not endoscopic appearance.2
Preparations
Preparations for nasal saline irrigation in the market include powder which can be freshly prepared for use or ready-to-use spray or mist solutions which need preservatives to extend shelf life. Common preservatives are benzalkonium chloride, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol. Bezalkonium chloride is an antibacterial preservative which may be potentially toxic to the mucosa.
Krayenbuhl and Seppey (1995) compared application of a saline stream versus drops (passive saline instillation) among 104 patients who underwent intranasal surgeries. Stream patients required significantly fewer post-operative recovery days and visits to physicians. The recovery period with saline stream was 18.9 days versus 36.7 days using saline drops.5
Nasal saline preparations available in the local market include isotonic drops, isotonic and hypertonic sprays, and isotonic seawater sprays. Parsons in 1996 presented a recipe for patients to prepare their own nasal saline solution:8
Carefully clean and rinse a 1-quart glass jar. Fill the
jar with tap water. Add 2 to 3 heaping teaspoons of
“pickling/canning” salt. Add 1 rounded teaspoon of
baking soda (pure bicarbonate). Stir and shake well
before use. Store at room temperature.
This will result in a 3% saline solution buffered to pH 7.6. If the mixture is too strong and results in a stinging effect in the nose, less salt (1 ½ tsp of salt) can be used. For children, it is best to start with a weaker salt water mixture which can be gradually increased in tonicity. Ordinary rock salt is used since iodine in iodized salt can be toxic to the nasal mucosa. A soft plastic catsup container can be used as a dispenser. The nose can be liberally irrigated 2-3 times per day. Nasal saline irrigation has been safely used by both children and adults with no documented serious side effects.
Different studies have shown that both isotonic and hypertonic nasal saline irrigations have beneficial effects in many sinonasal conditions. The exact mechanism by which improvement is effected is unclear.7 Hypotheses for why nasal saline irrigation promotes improvement of nasal symptoms include the following:
improving mucociliary clearance
decreasing mucosal edema
decreasing inflammatory mediators
mechanically clearing nasal crusts and thick mucous
The choice of which nasal saline solution to use depends on the physician and is mainly based on which studies he or she will believe in. Whether to recommend a saline solution prepared by the patient at home or saline solutions that are commercially available is really up to the doctor. Commercial solutions have the advantage of being sterile. Saline prepared at home is cheaper, but sterility may not be guaranteed and the percentage of tonicity may be variable.
Although several studies have shown that hypertonic saline solutions improve saccharine transit time, other studies have likewise shown that hypertonic saline solutions affect ciliary beat frequency negatively. For this reason, isotonic saline solutions which do not affect ciliary beat frequency may be more appropriate than hypertonic saline solution for nasal irrigation. However, we cannot discount the mucolytic effect induced by the hyperosmolarity of hypertonic solutions which could have improved saccharine transit time. Further studies can be undertaken to finally determine which solution, isotonic or hypertonic, would be better to use as nasal saline irrigation for the different sinonasal disorders.

La noción de competencia acuática en la infancia es un enfoque de análisis emergente que demanda de mayor apoyo científico. El presente estudio se enmarca en el ámbito del desarrollo motor y tiene impacto en el área del aprendizaje. Mediante una aproximación cualitativa, descriptiva e intrasujeto; el estudio observa cuatro díadas bebés-adulto (n = 4) durante un programa cuatrimestral de natación para bebés. Para ello se diseña un sistema ad-hoc de categorías de observación del comportamiento motor acuático del bebé y la actividad conjunta de la díada. El sistema de categorías se diseña sin habilidades apriorísticas a observar y de acuerdo con niveles crecientes de dificultad a través de dimensiones: respiración y equilibrio. Los resultados indican que es posible observar la evolución de la competencia y describir su naturaleza social sin observar habilidades. La aproximación del estudio sugiere posibilidades emergentes de análisis de los procesos de aprendizaje y desarrollo motor.
Abstract. The water competence in childhood is an emerging study approach that demands further scientific support. This work is framed in the field of motor development and has an impact on the study of learning. Through a qualitative, descriptive and intrasubject approach; the present study looks at four infant-adult dyads (n = 4) during a four-month baby-swimming program. Thus, an ad-hoc system of categories, built for observing the baby's water motor behaviour and the joint activity of the dyad, is used. The category system is designed without deductive skills to observe and, instead, is based on increasing levels of difficulty of aquatic motor behaviour in two dimensions: breathing and balance. Results indicate that it is possible to observe the evolution of the competence and describe it in its social nature without the observation of skills. The study suggests emerging approaches to analyse motor learning and development in other motor learning environments.

Participating in sport at all levels is gaining a dedicated following and this is also apparent in individuals with an amputation. Currently, there is a wide variety of ankle prostheses available which attempt to provide function, control, and comfort, as well as good aesthetic appeal. Participation in sport, however, increases the demands placed upon ankle prostheses. This can compromise function and performance, and constrain the opportunities of participation in various outdoor and water sports. In acknowledging this limitation and the need to develop more versatile ankle prostheses, this article introduces the evolution of a prototype ankle prosthesis referred to as “ Adaptive Sports Ankle.” The ankle prosthesis, which is compatible with any foot pyramid adapter, offers the same range of motion as the normal human ankle joint and is made up of components that are chemical and corrosion resistant. These design features that are specifically created to accommodate below-the-knee amputees provide an ideal prosthesis for those wishing to lead an active lifestyle and participate in aquatic (i.e. swimming, surfing, and scuba diving), snowboarding, and equestrian activities. Although it is acknowledged that there is a need to establish research on the Adaptive Sports Ankle, its introduction to the market will enhance and expand opportunities of those individuals with a lower limb amputation to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Clinical relevance The introduction of the Adaptive Sports Ankle Prosthesis provides versatility in terms of motion of the device and robust material. Although in its infancy, clinicians should be aware of the potential of this product for individuals who have had a below-the-knee amputation and express a desire to participate in water sports and other outdoor activities.

People with Asperger’s syndrome often have superior abilities in various fields, including art, natural science, and solving social problems. However, they tend to become stressed easily due to difficulties in relating to others. This stress sometimes prevents them from showing their full potential. Their abilities and tendency to become stressed are similar to those of people with schizoid temperament. Recent evidence has shown that purpose in life (PIL)/ikigai, moderate aerobic exercise, and diet, which are related to each other and to prefrontal lobe function, are effective methods for coping with stress. PIL/ikigai, which is an attitude in which one seeks to establish meaning of life, is developed through positive experiences, such as cordial human relations with suitable role-models, spending time in beautiful natural surroundings, and being moved by people or events. PIL/ikigai for people without schizoid temperament develops through such positive experiences throughout their life. However, PIL/ikigai for people with schizoid temperament/Asperger’s syndrome develops through positive experiences during a limited number of life stages: infancy, childhood, and adulthood. Moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, running, and swimming, were linked to finding food during the evolution of mankind. In turn, our diet supplies nutrients to our organs. Therefore, we propose that providing positive experiences during the critical periods and maturation periods of particular brain regions may influence PIL/ikigai, which is related to moderate aerobic exercise and diet. This process may help people with Asperger’s syndrome to demonstrate their full potential abilities and to contribute to various fields. Key words: Asperger’s syndrome, stress, purpose in life/ikigai, moderate aerobic exercise, diet.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBromate, classified as a EU CLP 1B carcinogen, is a typical by-product of the disinfection of drinking and swimming pool water. The aim of this study was (a) to provide data on the occurrence of bromate in pool water, (b) to re-evaluate the carcinogenic MOA of bromate in the light of existing data, (c) to assess the possible exposure to bromate via swimming pool water and (d) to inform the derivation of cancer risk-related bromate concentrations in swimming pool water. Measurements from monitoring analysis of 229 samples showed bromate concentrations in seawater pools up to 34 mg/L. A comprehensive non-systematic literature search was done and the quality of the studies on genotoxicity and carcinogenicity was assessed by Klimisch criteria (Klimisch et al., Regul Toxicol Pharmacol 25:1–5, 1997) and SciRAP tool (Beronius et al., J Appl Toxicol, 38:1460–1470, 2018) respectively. Benchmark dose (BMD) modeling was performed using the modeling average mode in BMDS 3.1 and PROAST 66.40, 67 and 69 (human cancer BMDL10; EFSA 2017). For exposure assessment, data from a wide range of sources were evaluated for their reliability. Different target groups (infants/toddlers, children and adults) and exposure scenarios (recreational, sport-active swimmers, top athletes) were considered for oral, inhalation and dermal exposure. Exposure was calculated according to the frequency of swimming events and duration in water. For illustration, cancer risk-related bromate concentrations in pool water were calculated for different target groups, taking into account their exposure using the hBMDL10 and a cancer risk of 1 in 100,000. Convincing evidence was obtained from a multitude of studies that bromate induces oxidative DNA damage and acts as a clastogen in vitro and in vivo. Since statistical modeling of the available genotoxicity data is compatible with both linear as well as non-linear dose–response relationships, bromate should be conservatively considered to be a non-threshold carcinogen. BMD modeling with model averaging for renal cancer studies (Kurokawa et al., J Natl. Cancer Inst, 1983 and 1986a; DeAngelo et al., Toxicol Pathol 26:587–594, 1998) resulted in a median hBMDL10 of 0.65 mg bromate/kg body weight (bw) per day. Evaluation of different age and activity groups revealed that top athletes had the highest exposure, followed by sport-active children, sport-active adults, infants and toddlers, children and adults. The predominant route of exposure was oral (73–98%) by swallowing water, followed by the dermal route (2–27%), while the inhalation route was insignificant (< 0.5%). Accepting the same risk level for all population groups resulted in different guidance values due to the large variation in exposure. For example, for an additional risk of 1 in 100,000, the bromate concentrations would range between 0.011 for top athletes, 0.015 for sport-active children and 2.1 mg/L for adults. In conclusion, the present study shows that health risks due to bromate exposure by swimming pool water cannot be excluded and that large differences in risk exist depending on the individual swimming habits and water concentrations.

Full textAbstract:
Learning aquatic skills is an important component of developing physical literacy in children. Aquatic skills such as floating, swimming and safe entry/exit promote engagement in different water environments and may help preserve lives in an emergency. This scoping review was conducted to evaluate the influence of task constraints (i.e., equipment) and environmental constraints (i.e., physical and social) on how children learn foundational aquatic skills. In developed countries, children are typically taught in swimming pools under direct supervision. It is also not uncommon to see children and infants learning to swim with assistive equipment (e.g., buoyancy aids). However, perhaps surprisingly, the evidence on how and where children learn aquatic skills does not uniformly promote such practices. For example, the use of flotation devices has not been proven to aid skill learning. Some researchers have advocated that children should learn aquatic skills whilst wearing outdoor clothing. One benefit of children wearing clothing is an increased capacity to practice in colder water (such as the ocean, rivers, or lakes). Overall, whilst practitioners often use equipment for various reasons it seems that not all equipment is equally useful in promoting the acquisition of aquatic skills. In less developed countries, with limited access to swimming pools and fewer resources for private instruction, a range of different open water aquatic environments and practices, such as swimming in temporarily flooded areas, have been reported. Such strategies are in urgent demand of further research given that drowning rates in less developed countries around the world exceed those in developed nations. It can be argued that learning in pools does not afford the opportunities to develop the whole range of adaptive skills that may be required in different open water environments such as navigating currents and waves, floating whilst clothed, or making life-saving decisions. Consequently, a shift toward teaching in open water environments has occurred in several countries. This review provides an evidence-base upon which practitioners can design more effective aquatic education programs for children.
