Effects of plyometric- and cycle-based high-intensity interval training on body composition, aerobic capacity, and muscle function in young females: a field-based group fitness assessment.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective alternative to moderate intensity continuous training for improvements in body composition and aerobic capacity; however, there is little work comparing different modalities of HIIT. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of plyometric- (PLYO) and cycle-oriented (CYC) HIIT on body composition, aerobic capacity, and skeletal muscle size, quality, and function in recreationally trained females. Young (21.

A comparison of physiological intensity and psychological perceptions during three different group exercise formats.

Introduction: Past research highlighted that group fitness is an ideal format to meet exercise prescription guidelines. To add, a group enhances exertion, enjoyment, and satisfaction. In the last five years, streaming (live classes on screen with other participants visible) and on demand (pre-recorded classes on screen without other participants visible) formats have grown in popularity.

Associations between ABO non-identical platelet transfusions and patient outcomes-A multicenter retrospective analysis.

Background: Due to platelet availability limitations, platelet units ABO mismatched to recipients are often transfused. However, since platelets express ABO antigens and are collected in plasma which may contain ABO isohemagglutinins, it remains controversial as to whether ABO non-identical platelet transfusions could potentially pose harm and/or have reduced efficacy.

Study Design And Methods: The large 4-year publicly available Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-III (REDS-III) database was used to investigate patient outcomes associated with ABO non-identical platelet transfusions.

Transfusion practices for pediatric oncology and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients: Data from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-III (REDS-III).

Background: To evaluate transfusion practices in pediatric oncology and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients.

Study Design And Methods: This is a multicenter retrospective study of children with oncologic diagnoses treated from 2013 to 2016 at hospitals participating in the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-III. Transfusion practices were evaluated by diagnosis codes and pre-transfusion laboratory values.

Transfusion Practices in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Secondary Analysis of a Clinical Database.

Objectives: To describe blood component usage in transfused children with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery across perioperative settings and diagnostic categories.

Design: Datasets from U.S.
