Suspected symmetrical peripheral gangrene in a cat.

Case Summary: An 8-year-old female spayed domestic shorthair cat was presented for evaluation of non-specific lethargy and pain. It was diagnosed with septic shock secondary to wounds on the dorsum and required treatment with multiple vasopressors for circulatory support. During the course of hospitalization, it was weaned from vasopressors but subsequently developed symmetric skin necrosis and sloughing of the paws on the right thoracic and right pelvic limbs leading to a presumptive diagnosis of suspected symmetrical peripheral gangrene (SPG).

Does dietary intake change during an intervention to reduce sedentary behavior and cardiovascular disease risk? A randomized comparative effectiveness trial.

Background: Evidence from physical activity interventions suggests that women, in particular, may overcompensate for exercise energy expenditure by increasing caloric intake. Sedentary behavior and poor dietary quality are independent risk factors for many major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether insufficiently active women, accumulating less than 60 min per week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, alter caloric intake or dietary quality when participating in an 8-week intervention to reduce sedentary behavior and CVD risk.

Effects of an Intervention to Reduce Sitting at Work on Arousal, Fatigue, and Mood Among Sedentary Female Employees: A Parallel-Group Randomized Trial.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether individuals who participated in an intervention to reduce sitting at work would report changes in arousal, fatigue, and mood.

Methods: Inactive females with full-time sedentary occupations (N = 49) were randomly assigned to take short, frequent breaks (SBs) or longer, planned breaks (LBs) from sitting each workday for 8 weeks. At baseline and postintervention, participants completed measures of arousal, fatigue, and mood.

Comparing the effects of two different break strategies on occupational sedentary behavior in a real world setting: A randomized trial.

Unlabelled: Developing interventions to reduce sedentary behavior in the workplace is an important public health priority. Furthermore, research is needed to determine whether different approaches to breaking up prolonged sitting during the workday are equally feasible and effective. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine whether varying the frequency and duration of activity breaks during the workday would differentially impact sedentary behavior and health outcomes.
