Purpose: To examine the effect of two physical education-based alternated teaching units on students' environmental knowledge for practicing out-of-school physical activity (PA), perceived autonomy support, self-determined and controlled motivation toward PA, intention to be physically active, self-reported and objective PA levels, and sedentary behavior. Method: A sample of 179 students (94 females) aged 13-15 years old was cluster randomly assigned to the innovative group (two alternated teaching units for practicing PA, with one lesson inside and one outside the school grounds) or the traditional group (a teaching unit for practicing PA, solely inside the school center). Results: The alternated teaching units improved students' knowledge of their environment for practicing PA, perceived autonomy, autonomous motivation, intention to be physically active, and self-reported PA during the whole week (p < 0.05). Discussion/Conclusion: The innovative program improved students' knowledge about their environment for practicing PA and self-reported PA but did not improve objectively measured PA levels.

The molecular salt sulfamethoxazolium {or 4-[(5-methyl-1,2-oxazol-3-yl)sulfamoyl]anilinium methyl sulfate monohydrate}, C10H12N3O3S+ ·CH3O4S ·H2O, was prepared by the reaction of sulfamethoxazole and H2SO4 in methanol and crystallized from methanol–ether–water. Protonation takes place at the nitrogen atom of the primary amino group. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen bonds (water and methylsulfate anion) and intermolecular N—H...N interactions involving the sulfonamide and isoxazole nitrogen atoms, link the components into a tri-dimensional network, additional cohesion being provided by face-toface π-π interactions between the phenyl rings of adjacent molecules. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to verify the contributions of the different intermolecular interactions, showing that the three most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...O (54.1%), H...H (29.2%) and H...N (5.0%) interactions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the study was to compare the effect of a Sport Education-based irregular teaching unit on the high-school students' physical activity (PA) during school recess. A sample of 91 adolescents (45 girls) aged 13-16 years old met the exclusion criteria. The six classes were cluster-randomly assigned to the Irregular Sport Education group (Sport Education methodology with competitions in recess), Traditional Sport Education group (Sport Education methodology with competitions in Physical Education lessons), or to the control group (non-intervention). The students' PA during school recess periods were objectively assessed by GT3X accelerometers. The results of the repeated-measures nested analysis of variance showed that the Sport Education-based irregular teaching unit significantly improved the students' PA during recesses (p < 0.001). The competitions phase of the Sport Education model performed at school recesses seems to be a valuable strategy for increasing students' PA contributing to the achievement of the daily recommendations.

Objective: To describe the sociodemographic, clinical and paraclinical characteristics of the patients treated at the Neiva University Hospital between 2014 and 2018, and identify risk factors that are associated with mortality. Materials and Methods: Observational, analytic re-trospective, study. Absolute and relative frequencies were calculated. Normality analysis was performed with the Shapiro-Wilk Test. The relationship of different sociodemographic and clinical variables and the risk of mortality were evaluated using logistic regression. Results: 305 events were registered, predominantly mild (117 cases), being 2018 the year with the highest number of reports (35.45%). Most were young people, with a mean age of 17 years, mainly between 0-11 years (61%). More than 90% resided in the Huila department and more than half (67%) belonged to the subsidized regime. Most bites occurred during the day, with the extremities being the most frequently reported location (82%). A statistically significant associa-tion was found between a severe condition and an increased need for an ICU. Conclusions: Scorpionism is an undervalued public health problem in Colombia. The pediatric population is at increased risk of developing severe complications and symptoms in scorpiotoxicosis. A severe condition at any age increases the probability of ICU admission, more frequent requirement for inotropic and liquids supply, and the use of antihypertensive drugs and high doses of anti-venom.
