Longer Ground Contact Time Is Related to a Superior Running Economy in Highly Trained Distance Runners.

Tanji, F, Ohnuma, H, Ando, R, Yamanaka, R, Ikeda, T, and Suzuki, Y. Longer ground contact time is related to a superior running economy in highly trained distance runners. J Strength Cond Res 38(5): 985-990, 2024-Running economy is a key component of distance running performance and is associated with gait parameters.

Effects of interprofessional conferences on intensive care units: comparing lengths of stay in the intensive care unit before and after the introduction of interprofessional conferences.

This study evaluated the effects of interprofessional conferences on intensive care units (ICUs) by comparing related outcomes before and after their introduction. This study was conducted at a single center and included ICU patients admitted between April 2017 and March 2019. Interprofessional conferences include physicians, nurses, physical therapists, nutritionists, and pharmacists.

Synergistic antitumor effect of histone deacetylase class IIa inhibitor with lenvatinib in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) class I and IIa are highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and associated with decreased survival. However, clinically used pan and class I inhibitors have serious adverse events. In this study, we assessed the antitumor effects and tolerability of class IIa HDAC inhibitor (HDACI) with lenvatinib, which is a standard therapy for HCC.

Association between Hepatic Oxidative Stress Related Factors and Activation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in NAFLD-Induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

We investigated the association between iron overload, oxidative stress (8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine: 8-oxo-dG scores), Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation (expression of glutamine synthetase: GS), and tumor hyperintensity in the Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI hepatobiliary phase (relative enhancement ratio: RER). This was a retrospective analysis of 94 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent surgical resection. In HBV-, HCV-, and alcohol-associated HCC, serum ferritin levels in the high and low RER groups were equivalent.
