A survey on the actuating force on brake and clutch pedal controls in agricultural tractor in use in Iran
Conclusions The U650 and JD3140 model tractors under ‘ready’ and ‘active’ conditions need less leg-pushing force. This force exertion from the knee occurs at the widest extension angle. These two models have higher ergonomic level with the least possible disturbance in the knee joint. (Source: Polish Annals of Medicine)

Risk related cardiovascular changes in metabolically healthy obese adolescents
Conclusions Prognostic capability of pediatric metabolic syndrome criteria is pretty low due to its sensitivity. Therefore obese adolescents not met diagnostic level for metabolic syndrome by IDF criteria could be falsely excluded from the cardiovascular risk group. Thus, it is not possible to assert an existence of absolutely healthy metabolic profile in obese and more sensitive markers are necessary for the metabolically healthy obesity identification.
