Myocarditis in Athletes Recovering from COVID-19
To assess the event rates of myocarditis detected by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) in athletes who recovered from COVID-19. The prevalence of COVID-19-related myocarditis in the athletic population ranges from 1 to 4%. Even if the event rate is quite low, current screening protocols are helpful tools for a safe return to play to properly address CMR studies.

Breast Density and Pre-Trained Convolutional Neural Network
Breast density describes the amount of fibrous and glandular tissue in a breast compared with the amount of fatty tissue. The breast density is assigned to one of four classes in the mammogram report based on the ACR BI-RADS standard. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) are a type of artificial neural network usually used for classification and computer vision tasks. Therefore, CNNs are considered efficient tools for medical imaging classification.

Chronic Pain and Emotional Stroop
The emotional Stroop task is a valuable and suitable technique to measure the alterations in emotional and cerebral activation areas that characterize chronic pain conditions (i.e., FMS, migraine, CNP, CLBP, and TMDs). The emotional Stroop task proved to be a valid tool to assess emotional and pain processing in patients with chronic pain.

Green Space (GS) Attendance and Prosociality
In times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, social ties can literally be a lifeline. A way to create, maintain, and strengthen connections between people is by assisting others by adopting prosocial behaviors. An emergent body of evidence shows the impact of exposure to nature on prosocial attitudes and interpersonal relationships. This study examines relationships between green space (GS) attendance, perceived beauty of the space, perceived crowdedness of the space, and prosocial behavior.

Community Occupational Therapists' Competencies in Neurorehabilitation
More than three million people in Chile suffer from neurological conditions, and many of these become permanent users of health services with a community approach. Interventions are essentially on a personal and microsocial level, focusing first on pathology and treatment, and later comprehending the interactions with a patient’s close social environment, such as family, schoolmates, and workmates and their physical environment at home, school, and the workplace. Although the final objective of community intervention is present in the discourse as being able to generate structural changes that favor well-being and social inclusion, concrete competencies are not appreciated on a macrosocial level.

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Baby-Led Weaning
Baby-led weaning (BLW) is an increasingly popular way of expanding an infant’s diet. It is based on the baby becoming physically ready to eat on his or her own, effectively supplementing his or her diet, which was previously based on breast milk or modified milk. In the traditional approach to complementary feeding, parents usually feed their infants pureed foods (mush) with a spoon, gradually introducing an increasing variety of tastes and textures as they grow, until solid foods are introduced. The process of diet expansion with the BLW method is guided by the child, using its skills and instinct. According to Brown and Lee, BLW is “a procedure in which the infant feeds himself, and feeding by the parent or serving smooth purees may occur occasionally, up to 10% of the total feeding time”. The role of the first solid foods, often referred to as complementary foods, in expanding an infant’s diet is not to replace breast milk or formula milk, but to be in addition to it.

Tools in Measurement of Treatment in Lipoedema
Due to insufficient knowledge of lipoedema, the treatment of Lipoedema is undoubtedly challenging. However, more and more researchers attempt to incorporate the most effective lipoedema treatment methods. When assessing a new therapeutic method, choosing correct, objective tools to measure the therapeutic outcome is very important. The tools used in evaluating the effectiveness of conservative treatment in women with lipoedema are: volume and circumference measurement, waist-to-hip ratio, body fat percentage, ultrasonography, VAS scale, quality of life scales (SF-36, RAND-36), symptom severity questionnaire (QuASiL), Lower Extremity Functional Scale and 6 min walk.

Prevention of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has for many years been defined as glucose intolerance with the onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Such a definition has serious limitations due to many cases of GDM representing preexisting hyperglycemia. As such, the latest definition of GDM excludes women found to have diabetes by diagnostic criteria applied outside of pregnancy. GDM is one of the most common obstetric complications, with the prevalence varying from 7.5% to 27.0% among different areas, principally depending on different races and diagnostic criteria.

Mechanistic Approaches to Understanding Psychological Resilience to Suicide
Suicidal experiences include suicidal thoughts, tendencies, urges, compulsions, plans, behaviours, attempts and death. Such experiences are a global concern with substantial suicide prevention measures being developed and implemented worldwide. People need to try to understand how resilience to suicidal experiences in those who have severe mental health problems, including psychosis, fluctuates within and between individuals using a multi-componential approach. This understanding rests on identifying the psychological mechanisms which underpin resilience to suicidal experiences whilst also interacting with resilience to psychosis. There are four models of resilience, namely, the unidimensional model, the two dimensional buffering model, the recovery model and the maintenance model.
