Aerobic cycling has been repeatedly shown to induce hypertrophy in skeletal muscle across a variety of populations, while there has been a lack of investigation into the impact of running upon hypertrophy. An increasingly popular model of aerobic exercise is high-intensity interval training (HIIT); in addition to its positive impact upon cardiovascular health, HIIT may be sufficient for inducing significant muscular hypertrophy. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence of a high-intensity interval running protocol upon hypertrophy of the vastus lateralis in an untrained, young population.

Materials And Methods: In this phase I pilot study, twelve consecutive patients were anesthetized using conventional ventilator settings (CV) and then OV strategy during which oxygenation and lung compliance were noted. Subsequently, a lung resection was performed.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how breast cancer treatments that involve radiation lead to brachial plexopathy in 33 women over a span of several years.
- It involved a detailed assessment of patient histories, symptoms, and various medical tests over a median follow-up period of 9.5 years.
- Findings showed that symptoms often appeared within 1.5 years post-treatment, with progressive weakness affecting hand function, and pain management was frequently addressed with morphine and chemical sympathectomy.
