Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport-Multidisciplinary Treatment in Clinical Practice.

Background/objectives: The primary aim of this study was to characterize athletes approaching an outpatient interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary consultation structure for athletes with a suspected relative energy deficiency in sport (REDs) cross-sectionally and longitudinally to prove treatment efficacy.

Methods: Data of 58 athletes suspected of REDs were collected at the onset (t) and completion (t) of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary REDs treatment (clinical practice) between January 2019 and December 2022. The data included extracted information from medical records, anthropometric characteristics, physical performance diagnostics, laboratory values, dietary records, and partially gynecological and psychosomatic diagnostics.

Hand Burn Injuries and Occupational Impairment: A Study on the Impact of Burn Injuries on Return-to-Work Outcomes from the Burn Model System research program.

Return to work (RTW) after burn injury is dependent on many variables, including type and location of burn injury, access to care, and pre-injury mental and physical health. Noting that prior studies were limited by small sample sizes, we aimed to use a large database to explore the associations between hand burn severity, functional hand outcomes, and RTW post-injury. Data from a multicenter longitudinal study were analyzed.

The Delay of Recanalisation of Acutely Thrombosed Dialysis Arteriovenous Access Until the Next Workday has No Negative Impact on Clinical Outcome.

Purpose: The necessity of providing endovascular recanalization of acutely thrombosed arteriovenous access (AV access) during weekend is questionable, since hemodialysis can alternatively be achieved by temporarily placed non-tunneled central venous catheters (CVC). Interventional therapy of acutely thrombosed AV access is provided only on weekdays in the study center. This study aimed to compare outcomes in patients admitted on weekdays and on the weekend.

Chemokine receptor CXCR4 based positron emission tomography imaging in systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease.

Objective: To assess chemokine receptor CXCR4 expression in lung parenchyma and on peripheral immune cells in systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) patients.

Methods: SSc-ILD patients underwent 68Ga- CPCR4 Trifluoroacetate positron emission tomography (PET) scan, SUVmean in different lung regions and architecturally abnormal areas, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were analyzed. CXCR4 expression on peripheral immune cells using flow cytometer was studied and correlated with the different lung regions.
