Different amount of training affects body composition and performance in High-Intensity Functional Training participants.

The effects of High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) on body composition and the relationship of the latter with performance are not well defined. In this work we investigated, by means of Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry, the relative proportions of fat-, lean soft tissue-, and mineral mass in CrossFit® (CF, a popular mode of HIFT) participants (n = 24; age, 28.2 ± 3.

Abacavir adverse reactions related with HLA-B*57: 01 haplotype in a large cohort of patients infected with HIV.

Objective: Carriage of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*57:01 allele increases the risk of abacavir hypersensitivity reaction. Therefore, since 2008 HIV treatment guidelines recommend HLA-B*57:01 screening before abacavir administration, greatly reducing hypersensitivity reaction rate. However, clinically suspected abacavir-related hypersensitivity reactions are described in allele non-carriers.

Probable Etoricoxib-Induced Severe Thrombocytopenia: A Case Report.
