This study investigated the influence of acid-base and electrolyte balance on the performance of female athletes in a 45 km ultramarathon. The aim was to analyze the impact of these variables on performance, particularly in athletes with varying completion times. Nineteen female athletes (mean age: 35.

Long-term data are essential for decision-making in the operation of constructed wetlands; however, such data are scarce. In the present study, a subsurface flow CW system was monitored over a 10-year period for the treatment of wastewater from the dairy industry. Prior to the CW, an aerated facultative lagoon was operated, and its data were also included in the study.

Introduction: The POET trial demonstrated that moving from intravenous to oral antibiotics in stable patients with left-sided infective endocarditis (IE) was noninferior to fully parenteral treatment. However, it did not compare outpatient strategies.

Methods: The OraPAT-IE GAMES trial is a noninferiority, multicenter, randomized, open-label study aimed to compare partial oral versus outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) for consolidation of antibiotic treatment in left-sided IE.

The need for producing in environmentally resilient system drives new research to achieve sustainable beef production. Water footprint of the beef supply chain is a concern that must be addressed, aiming to improve water use within the production chain. One approach is genetic selection of beef cattle for water efficiency.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated 22 elite male mountain runners from Brazil, focusing on how specific genetic variants affect their performance and physiological responses during a 105-km ultramarathon.
  • Genotyping was done using saliva samples to analyze the ACTN3 R577X, ACE I/D, and CK MM A/G NcoI polymorphisms, and real-time measures of electrochemical and acid-base balance were recorded.
  • Results indicated that certain genotypes correlated with differences in potassium levels, hematocrit values, and pH, suggesting that these genetic variations play a significant role in athletes' physiological responses during extreme endurance events.
