December 2024
Background: "Real-life" data on cardiovascular management and clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and hematologic malignancies are limited.
Aim: To describe the clinical profile and incidence of cardiovascular events in this population.
Methods: Data were obtained from the CANAC-FA Registry, an observational, multicenter and retrospective study.
The study aimed to assess the immediate effects of re-warm-up strategies using half-squats with elastic looped bands on the performance of youth soccer players. A cross-over study design with repeated measures was implemented in field youth male soccer players (n = 20, age 15.7 ± 0.

In addition, the barriers and facilitators for its development will be determined.
Design: Observational, cross-sectional study.
Article Synopsis
- Study Purpose
- : The study aimed to identify factors influencing different types of left atrial strain (LARS, LACS, LABS) in patients without cardiovascular disease, emphasizing the relationship between left atrial strain and left ventricular function.
- Methods
- : Researchers conducted echocardiographic exams on patients from two hospitals, measuring left atrial volumes and strains using advanced imaging software, with a total of 196 patients analyzed, averaging 54 years of age.
- Findings
- : Results showed key correlations between left atrial strain and factors such as sex, global longitudinal strain, and left atrial ejection fraction, highlighting the importance of global longitudinal strain as a significant predictor of left atrial reservoir
Article Synopsis
- Virtual Reality (VR) is a useful tool for motor learning rehabilitation, especially for complex tasks like walking with lower-limb exoskeletons, which involve multiple sub-tasks.
- A study was conducted using a head-mounted display system to train participants on these virtual walking tasks, comparing first-person and third-person perspectives, along with visual feedback on movements.
- While all participants improved in executing the tasks, the research suggests that the effectiveness of VR training relies on appropriately matching the perspective and feedback to each specific sub-task rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
