Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on Amateur Runners' Performance: An Analysis through Monitoring Devices.

This retrospective study aimed to analyze the return to running of non-professional runners after experiencing asymptomatic or mild COVID-19. Participants aged 18-55 years who maintained a training load of ≥10 km/week for at least three months prior to diagnosis and utilized Garmin/Polar apps were included. From these devices, parameters such as pace, distance, total running time, cadence, and heart rate were collected at three intervals: pre-COVID, immediately post-COVID, and three months after diagnosis.

Safety of day surgery for patients with special needs.

Background: The objective of this study was to assess the safety and quality of day care management for dental surgery under general anaesthesia in a population with special needs and to compare the results with a control population.

Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was performed. The study population included all patients who had day care dental surgery under general anaesthesia for one year.

Postoperative fatigue after day surgery: prevalence and risk factors. A prospective observational study.

Background: Postoperative fatigue (POF) is a major cause of rehabilitation failure after surgery. POF is a complication that could negatively affect outpatients but to date no study has specifically investigated POF at home after day surgery. The objective of this study was to assess early and late POF and risk factors for POF after day surgery.

Background noise lowers the performance of anaesthesiology residents' clinical reasoning when measured by script concordance: A randomised crossover volunteer study.

Background: Noise, which is omnipresent in operating rooms and ICUs, may have a negative impact not only patients but also on the concentration of and communication between clinical staff.

Objective: The present study attempted to evaluate the impact of noise on the performance of anaesthesiology residents' clinical reasoning. Changes in clinical reasoning were measured by script concordance tests (SCTs).

Bacterial colonization is decreased after tunneling femoral perineural catheters.

Background: Infection of perineural catheter is rare, although bacterial colonization is frequent. An observational study reported that subcutaneous tunneling perineural catheter could decrease its colonization rate. We performed a comparative study to assess the incidence of catheter related bacterial colonization of tunnelized femoral perineural catheters.

Residents in tutored practice exchange groups have better medical reasoning as measured by script concordance test: a controlled, nonrandomized study.

Study Objective: Clinical reasoning by anesthesiology residents in emergency situations where optimal management is uncertain could be improved by setting up a tutored practice exchange group. This study attempted to evaluate the impact of a practice exchange group (PEG), tutored by a senior anesthesiologist, on anesthesiology residents in emergency situations. Changes in clinical reasoning were measured by script concordance tests (SCT).

Residents in tutored practice exchange groups have better medical reasoning as measured by the script concordance test: A pilot study.

Background: This pilot study attempted to evaluate the impact of a practice exchange group (PEG) tutored by a senior anaesthesiologist on clinical reasoning performance of anaesthesiology residents for uncertain situations. Changes in clinical reasoning were measured by script concordance tests (SCT).

Methods: First, a curriculum, with educational objectives and assessment tools, was proposed to all residents at the beginning of their 6-month training.

Fluoroscopic guidance for placing a double lumen endotracheal tube in adults.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the right placement of the double lumen endotracheal tube with fluoroscopic guidance, which is used in first intention prior to the fiberscope in our institution.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study. The study was conducted in vascular and thoracic operating rooms.

Accidental Puncture of the Pulmonary Artery during a Subclavian Central Venous Catheterization.

The complications associated with central venous catheterization are common and well known. Common malplacement locations have been described in the literature. We report the case of a direct puncture of the pulmonary artery during a subclavian central venous catheterization.

Intake of high levels of vitamin A and polyunsaturated fatty acids during different developmental periods modifies the expression of morphogenesis genes in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax).

The effect of the feeding period on larval development was investigated in European sea bass larvae by considering the expression level of some genes involved in morphogenesis. Larvae were fed a control diet except during three different periods (period A: from 8 to 13 d post-hatching (dph); period B: from 13 to 18 dph; period C: from 18 to 23 dph) with two compound diets containing high levels of vitamin A or PUFA. European sea bass morphogenesis was affected by these two dietary nutrients during the early stages of development.

Dietary arginine degradation is a major pathway in ureagenesis in juvenile turbot (Psetta maxima).

Recent studies indicate that urea excretion is responsive to protein intake and that turbot, Psetta maxima, appear to differ from other species by their urea excretion pattern and levels. This study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of dietary nitrogen and arginine on ureagenesis and excretion in turbot. Juvenile turbot (29 g) were fed semi-purified diets containing graded levels of nitrogen (0-8% dry matter) and arginine (0-3% dry matter) for 6 weeks.
