Article Synopsis
- Cancer survivors often deal with side effects like fatigue and reduced physical function, which regular physical activity can help alleviate.
- A study compared a telemedicine-based exercise program for cancer survivors to a standard rehabilitation sports group, aiming to see if the telemedicine option was as effective for improving fitness and quality of life.
- While the telemedicine program showed slight benefits in fitness and was well-received by participants, it didn't statistically prove to be non-inferior to the standard care option, highlighting the need for personalized exercise strategies for cancer survivors.
Rationale And Objectives: The prognostic role of computed tomography (CT)-defined skeletal muscle features in COVID-19 is still under investigation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic role of CT-defined skeletal muscle area and density in patients with COVID-19 in a multicenter setting.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study is a part of the German multicenter project RACOON (Radiological Cooperative Network of the COVID-19 pandemic).
The high prevalence of injuries in female athletes necessitates a course of action that not only enhances research in this field but also incorporates improved prevention programs and regular health monitoring of highly stressed structures such as tendons and muscles. Since myometry is already used by coaches and physiotherapists, it is important to investigate whether tissue stiffness varies in different types of sports, and whether such measures are affected by an acute training session. Myometric measurements of the Achilles tendon (AT) and soleus muscle (SM) were performed in the longitudinal plane and relaxed tendon position.

Physiological traits, such as an insect's feeding behavior, influence the way insecticides are absorbed and processed in the body (toxicokinetics), which can be exploited to improve species selectivity. To fully understand the uptake of insecticides, it is essential to study their total uptake and toxicokinetics independent of their toxic effects on insects.
