A Dietary Strategy for Optimizing the Visual Range of Athletes.

Visual range is quantified by assessing how far one can see clearly (an ability crucial to many athletes). This ability tends to vary significantly across individuals despite similar personal characteristics. We hypothesize that the primary driver of these differences is the individual response to scattered short-wave light in the environment moderated by the dietarily derived retinal pigments lutein and zeaxanthin.

Introduction of a PEGylated EPO conjugate as internal standard for EPO analysis in doping controls.

Immunopurification of doping control samples is a mandatory necessity in erythropoietin (EPO) analysis during a confirmation procedure; moreover, it has become common practice to also immunopurify samples for the initial testing procedure. Typically used materials (e.g.

Surgical treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients: a matched-pair analysis of angular-stable plating vs. reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: To date, there is a lack of consensus regarding the type of surgical treatment for complex proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) in elderly patients, especially between joint preservation and joint replacement techniques.

Materials And Methods: We matched 60 patients (aged 73.2 ± 6.

Complications after surgical treatment of proximal humerus fractures in the elderly-an analysis of complication patterns and risk factors for reverse shoulder arthroplasty and angular-stable plating.

Background: To date, there is a lack of consensus regarding surgical treatment recommendations for complex proximal humerus fracture (PHF) patterns, especially between joint preservation and joint replacement techniques.

Methods: Between 2012 and 2017, 146 patients (aged 74.1 ± 8.
