The exercise-induced inflammatory response in inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: This study investigated selected inflammatory responses to acute and chronic exercise in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on all relevant exercise-based intervention publications with IBD participants. The study included articles that utilised a broad range of acute and chronic exercise interventions, with inflammatory biomarkers measured and symptoms documented, both pre- and post-exercise for those with IBD.

Absence of deterioration of vascular function of the donor limb at late follow-up after radial artery harvesting.

Objective: Radial artery harvesting has been questioned because of purported long-term circulatory consequences. Previous midterm Doppler ultrasonographic results are inconsistent regarding ulnar arterial effects. Flow-mediated vasodilatation more sensitively measures response to shear stress as index of arterial reactivity and function.
