Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining comparative genomic hybridization and single-nucleotide polymorphism (CGH/SNP) analyses for risk stratification in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) compared to traditional cytogenetic methods.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 135 patients aged 1-18 diagnosed with ALL, finding that CGH/SNP had a significantly lower failure rate and faster result turnaround (5.8 days) than conventional karyotyping (10.7 days).
- - CGH/SNP detected crucial gene deletions, particularly ETV6, which was associated with better event-free survival, indicating that CGH/SNP could enhance diagnostic accuracy and prognostic evaluation in pediatric ALL.
Background: Cardiovascular comorbidities are increasingly being recognised in early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) yet complete cardiorespiratory functional assessments of individuals with mild COPD or presenting with COPD risk factors are lacking. This paper reports on the effectiveness of the cardiocirculatory-limb muscles oxygen delivery and utilisation axis in smokers exhibiting no, or mild to moderate degrees of airflow obstruction using standardised cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).
Methods: Post-bronchodilator spirometry was used to classify participants as 'ever smokers without' (n=88), with 'mild' (n=63) or 'mild-moderate' COPD (n=56).
Alterations in adipose tissue (AT) metabolism related to inflammation and adipokine's production lead to perturbations in its capacity to store lipids and release fatty acids (FA) during feeding/fasting transition or during exercise. Exercise has a beneficial effect on AT metabolism, but conventional trainings are not always suitable for patients with functional limitations. Dynamic eccentric (ECC) exercise prevents the accumulation of AT and may then overcome those limitations.

Using an approach for manipulating mechanical and metabolic exercise power, we positioned that for the same metabolic power, training using concentric (CON) or ECC contractions would induce similar skeletal muscle mitochondrial adaptations. Sixty adult rats were randomly assigned to a control (CTRL) or three treadmill training groups running at 15 m·min for 45 min, 5 days weekly for 8 wk at targeted upward or downward slopes.
