“…[6, 10] The work of Kicman (2008) [3] provides evidence of the behavioural effects of androgens anabolic steroids (AAS) in men and women, including those concerning sexual behaviour, cognitive abilities, aggression, and mood. [3,30] Although there have been several product recalls by the FDA, due to adulteration, the lack of harmonisation among the regulatory authorities remains a matter of concern.…”

Background An age-old fable can be traced as far back to third century BC that shows ‘sport supplements’ being used by athletes of that era, who made use of ‘substances’, with the aim to improve performance. In more recent times, subsequent to the reunification of Germany, ground-breaking findings were found when acquiring a number of highly classified scientific documents and reports. These documents revealed the systematic state-sponsored programmes of doping of athletes. Specifically linked to anabolic androgenic steroids being a controlled substance globally in several countries. Amidst this ‘control’, steroids are generally readily available for non-medicinal purposes, including for body-image use. Further, in modern day sport and wellness practice, dietary supplements have become of common use and widespread, for competitive and recreational athletes of all ages. This has contributed to modern manufacturing innovation having supplements products that potentially may include illicit substance(s). These often ‘designer steroids’ may be manufactured specifically, to circumvent sport anti-doping laboratory tests, in human sport, and therefore supplied in a clandestine fashion. Aim The research study investigated the industry associated with commercially available dietary and traditional supplements. In particular the research assessed the content of these products for prohibited substances, with reference specifically to pre-determined steroids, that may not necessarily be declared on the product label. Methods A total of 138 dietary supplements products formed part of the assessment. The products were laboratory analysed for 16 pre-determined steroids, using Tandem Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. Results The frequency of positive tested samples for the respective steroids assessed in the overall cohort ranged from 24–86%, for South African produced dietary supplements 15–89%, and for imported products, bought in South Africa, 12–90%. Conclusion The findings of the steroid positive tested samples provide evidence for implementing an improved system for regulating, monitoring, and enforcing the quality control of dietary supplements.

Objetivo. Describir y discutir los resultados de las intervenciones no farmacológicas (INF) adyuvantes en el tratamiento de los síntomas depresivos entre mujeres con cáncer de mama (CaMa). Material y métodos. Se realizó una revisión sistemática sobre INF, aplicadas a pacientes con cáncer y síntomas depresivos en siete bases de datos. La revisión se limitó del 1 de enero de 2006 al 31 de diciembre de 2017 y a los idiomas inglés, español y portugués. Los descriptores médicos empleados fueron “breast neoplasm” y “depression”. Resultados. Existen diversas INF que pueden estimular principalmente las dimensiones físicas o psicosociales. En este artículo se propone una clasificación basada en nueve estrategias terapéuticas identificadas, entre las que sobresalen el ejercicio, la psicoterapia y el yoga con meditación. Conclusiones. Con base en la evidencia disponible, se concluye que la psicoterapia y yoga con meditación reducen los síntomas depresivos en pacientes con CaMa. Se requiere mayor investigación para determinar la magnitud de la reducción de los síntomas depresivos, de acuerdo con su gravedad, presencia de comorbilidades y diversidad de INF.

“…The articles in this edition of the journal cover a broad scope, ranging from the effects of exercise on mood in breast cancer patients, [6] to the risk of cardiac arrest in young athletes. [7] There are also two articles on injuries associated with long-distance running, [8,9] an article on the fitness of women rugby players [10] and, finally, a study on the effects of over-the-counter dosages of pseudoephedrine on swim ming performance.…”
