Background Previous research has demonstrated that habitual dietary macronutrient distribution affects energy substrate utilization at rest and during exercise. The primary purpose of the current study was to examine the relationships between habitual baseline macronutrient intakes, expressed relative to bodyweight and percentage of total energy intake, and metabolism at rest and after exercise...

This study examined the links between desensitization to violent media stimuli and habitual media violence exposure as a predictor and aggressive cognitions and behavior as outcome variables. Two weeks after completing measures of habitual media violence exposure, trait aggression, trait arousability, and normative beliefs about aggression, undergraduates (N = 303) saw a violent film clip and a...

 Habitual dislocation of the hip (HDH) in children is a rare entity and can be a causative factor for popping or snapping hip which is a common problem in children with good prognosis. We report a case of HDH in a 9 year old girl who was suffering from frequent snapping hip at night, its course and treatment process. 

Women who miscarry two or more consecutive pregnancies deserve an evaluation to look for the cause, which sometimes can be treated. They can also be reassured that approximately 70% of women in this situation ultimately succeed in having a baby, even though the cause of recurrent miscarriage can be determined in only about half of cases.

BACKGROUND A socioeconomic gradient in childhood obesity is known to be present by the age of school entry in the UK. The origin of this gradient is unclear at present, but must lie in socioeconomic differences in habitual physical activity, sedentary behaviour, or dietary intake. AIMS To test the hypothesis that habitual physical activity and/or sedentary behaviour are associated with socioe...

Research concerning forefoot strike pattern (FFS) versus rearfoot strike pattern (RFS) running has focused on the ground reaction force even though internal joint contact forces are a more direct measure of the loads responsible for injury. The main purpose of this study was to determine the internal loading of the joints for each strike pattern. A secondary purpose was to determine if converte...

Public transport smartcard data can be used to detect large crowds. By comparing smartcard data with statistics on habitual behavior (e.g. average by time of day), one can specifically identify non-habitual crowds, which are often problematic for the transport system. While habitual overcrowding (e.g. during peak hour) is well understood by traffic managers and travelers, non-habitual overcrowd...
