“…3,36,37 We noted substantial rejuvenation among the abortion provider workforce; almost half of respondents were younger than 40 years, and half of primary care providers and a third of obstetriciangynecologists indicated fewer than 5 years of abortion experience. Other evidence describing growth in the abortion workforce is emerging; 22,24,[38][39][40][41][42] this growth appears to be associated with the 2017 introduction of mifepristone in Canada and the subsequent removal of restrictive regulations. Our data indicate that nurse practitioners contribute to provision of firsttrimester medical abortions.…”

In 2019, about 84 000 medical and surgical abortions were reported to the Canadian Institute of Health Information. 1 One-third of women in Canada will have an abortion in their lifetime. 2 According to our first Canadian Abortion Provider Survey (CAPS) in 2012, abortion care was provided by fewer than 300 physicians, many of whom focused their practice on abortion care. 3 In contrast with rates greater than 80% in many European countries, 4-8 fewer than 4% of abortions were medical. 9 Procedures were provided by high-volume providers in specialized health care clinics, with limited access in rural areas. 3,10,11 In 2016, the United Nations Human Rights Commissioner expressed concern over inequitable access to abortion services in Canada, and called on the Canadian government to improve equitable access. 12 Several important health system and service changes have occurred since then. In 2017, mifepristone, the gold-standard medical abortion drug, 13 became available in Canada. [14][15][16] Restrictive regulations around prescribing and dispensing mifepristone were removed later that year. 17 Evidence supporting the effective and safe provision of medical abortion using mifepristone by a range of primary health care professionals 18,19 led to Health Canada's approval of provision of medical abortion by nurse practitioners. 20 The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada issued evidencebased clinical practice guidelines on medical abortion in 2016 13 and on surgical abortion in 2018. 21

“…Most of the injuries were to the lower extremities, including the ankles, lower legs, and toes. This is often caused by high speed, which causes the rider to experience muscle tension, impact, and falls [20]. Another factor is a combination of inadequate preparation, inappropriate equipment, poor technique, and overuse [21].…”

Introduction: Amputee cyclists with different types of disabilities compete in same category in the Paralympics Games, and para-cycling has the highest risk of injury. This is because the areas used for training are velodromes and highways. The nature of these injuries is closely related to the recovery rate, absence from training, and even the end of a career. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of sports injuries sustained by para-cycling athletes when joining the Indonesia National team.Material and methods: The sample was a group of 19 athletes (16 males and three females) with a mean age of 30 ± 5.02. A questionnaire consisting of 25 questions was used to obtain data, which was adapted from Nowak's questionnaire. Data analysis was represented in the form of numbers and percentages, and Fisher's exact test was used to determine the relationship between variables.Results: The results showed injuries are most common in the lower limbs (57%) by falling (73%). The effects of the athletes' falls are bruises (42%), twists or sprains (17%), and fractures (17%).Conclusions: Para-cycling athletes experience the lower extremity injuries. An athletes' fall affects the lower extremities leading to contusion or bruises (on the knee and lower leg, when falling during training), twist or sprain (in the ankle, occurs during a training session), and fracture (caused by a fall during a training session).

Algumas dessas estratégias associam ainda o uso de laxantes, diuréticos e práticas como jejum, sauna e esfoliação ao processo de emagrecimento/desintoxicação 8 .…”

“…Apesar da popularidade, poucos são os dados científicos que comprovam a eficácia e a segurança desses programas detox 7,8 . A perda de peso, muitas vezes observada, parece ser consequência da intensa redução de ingestão calórica, assim como da perda de peso de água e matéria fecal 6 .…”

Dietas populares, como as detox, surgem a todo o momento. Todavia, poucos dados científicos comprovam a eficácia e segurança destas dietas. Este trabalho avaliou rótulos de bebidas à base de frutas e vegetais e identificou as que se autodenominam detox. Tratou-se de estudo transversal descritivo, realizado de setembro a outubro/2016. O tamanho da porção na informação nutricional e as alegações encontradas nos rótulos foram analisados em relação às legislações vigentes.Composição nutricional, quantidade total de ingredientes e presença de aditivos alimentares e/ou outros ingredientes não usuais em preparações culinárias foram comparados entre as bebidas detox e as comuns. De 83 produtos analisados, 9,6% (n=8) se autodenominaram detox. A composição nutricional e o número médio de ingredientes não diferiram entre as bebidas detox e as comuns. Alegações nutricionais e de saúde estavam presentes em 77,1% (n=64) dos produtos e 53,0% (n=44) apresentaram alegações não previstas na RDC nº 54/2012. As informações mais frequentes foram quanto aos teores de micronutrientes, açúcares, sódio e fibras. O termo detox, apesar de não permitido, é encontrado neste tipo de produto no mercado brasileiro. Os resultados sugerem que o termo detox seja utilizado mais como estratégia de marketing do que como real alegação de propriedade nutricional.
