Effect of adding high-intensity interval training to diet and carboxytherapy on metabolic cardiovascular risk factors in women with metabolic syndrome.

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome has traditionally been associated with cardiovascular diseases and has recently been linked to increased susceptibility to COVID-19 infection, thus highlighting the need for multimodal interventions to optimize management of this condition.

Aim: To assess the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) alongside a low-fat diet and carboxytherapy on metabolic syndrome features.

Material And Methods: Sixty women (50-60 years old) diagnosed with metabolic syndrome were assigned to a 4-week intervention of either HIIT in combination with a low-fat diet and carboxytherapy (experimental group: = 30, age = 54.

Treatment of Kienböck's Disease With Neutral Ulnar Variance by Distal Capitate Shortening and Arthrodesis to the Base of the Third Metacarpal Bone.

Purpose: We evaluated whether a surgical technique combining distal capitate shortening and arthrodesis to the base of the third metacarpal bone for the treatment of the early stages (stages II and IIIA) of Kienböck's disease with neutral ulnar variance resulted in pain relief, improvement in wrist motion, or changes in the radiographic evaluation.

Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 22 patients with early stages of Kienböck's disease with neutral ulnar variance, treated by distal capitate shortening and arthrodesis to the base of the third metacarpal bone. Patients were divided into 2 groups by disease stage: stage II (n = 12) and stage IIIA (n = 10).
