Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the reliability of a method called detrended fluctuation analysis of heart rate variability (DFA-α1) for determining exercise intensity thresholds and compared it to traditional methods based on blood lactate and gas exchange for a group of 37 participants.
- - Test results showed that DFA-α1 had good reliability and moderate agreement with the other two methods, although the accuracy of thresholds varied depending on participants' cardiorespiratory fitness levels.
- - The findings indicated that male participants had a higher bias in threshold measurements compared to females, and to improve DFA-α1 accuracy, adjustments should be made based on both sex and fitness levels.
Background: Older people have greater comorbidity and medication burden. Adverse drug reactions occur in up to 30% of older people within one month of hospital discharge. General practitioners are key stakeholders in transitions of care from hospital to the community.

Spatiotemporal gait parameters were compared (target speeds 3, 5 and 7.5 m·s) between a 100 Hz IMU and an optical measurement system (OptoJump Next, 1000 hz) in 14 trained individuals (Phase One).

Background: Advanced therapies are increasingly utilized to treat pulmonary embolism (PE). A unique data platform allows access to electronic health record data for comparison of the safety of PE therapies.
Methods: All data from Truveta (Truveta, Inc) were analyzed (16 systems, 83,612,413 patients, 535,567 with PE).
Importance: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality for US women. Trials have established that screening mammography can reduce mortality risk, but optimal screening ages, intervals, and modalities for population screening guidelines remain unclear.
Objective: To review studies comparing different breast cancer screening strategies for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
