Article Synopsis
- The study tested whether high intensity interval training (HIIT) at a threshold above critical power results in no differences in time to fatigue between males and females with similar maximal oxygen uptake.
- Thirteen males and eleven females underwent tests to measure their maximum oxygen uptake and then performed a HIIT session to exhaustion, with physiological responses recorded.
- Results showed no significant differences in time to fatigue or heart rate between sexes, although females had lower deoxygenated hemoglobin levels during the intervals, suggesting that sex does not influence HIIT performance despite individual variability in responses.
Purpose: Pediatric surgical care in low- and middle-income countries is often hindered by systemic gaps in healthcare resources, infrastructure, training, and organization. This study aims to develop and validate the Global Assessment of Pediatric Surgery (GAPS) to appraise pediatric surgical capacity and discriminate between levels of care across diverse healthcare settings.
Methods: The GAPS Version 1 was constructed through a synthesis of existing assessment tools and expert panel consultation.
Objectives: Recurrent and primary tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs) are a challenging surgical pathology to treat, as standard open surgical approaches are associated with high morbidity and mortality. As such, endoscopic modalities have gained interest as an alluring alternative, yet variable success rates have been reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to provide a contemporary update of the literature and describe our institutional experience with the bronchoscopic obliteration of recurrent and primary TEFs.
