Background: Change in the oxygen consumption (VO) at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) is an important outcome in research studies of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). The range of values reported by different raters for any given VAT is needed to contextualize a change in VAT in intervention studies.
Methods: Sixty maximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) for CHD patients 8-21 years old were independently reviewed by six exercise physiologists and four pediatric cardiologists.
Background & Aim: Individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD) have reduced cardiorespiratory fitness which is associated with poor prognosis and quality of life. Evidence shows that exercise is effective in the management of adults with CHD. However, uncertainties remain about the safety and efficacy of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in these patients.

- The article details a newly designed laser source specifically for time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES) aimed at investigating electron dynamics in quantum materials.
- The laser system utilizes a combination of a ytterbium-doped laser, optical parametric amplifier (OPA), and difference frequency generation (DFG) to produce tunable near- and mid-infrared pulses, along with ultraviolet pulses for exciting materials like BiTe.
- The authors showcase the stability of the laser source and present initial TR-ARPES results, highlighting its effectiveness in studying electronic behaviors in topological insulators.
The attractive interaction in conventional BCS superconductors is provided by a bosonic mode. However, the pairing glue of most unconventional superconductors is unknown. The effect of electron-boson coupling is therefore extensively studied in these materials.

These changes are intended to enhance pliability, enabling the skin to possess the strength and elasticity required for normal mobility. The advantage of vacuum massage compared to therapist-generated manual massage is that it provides a standardized dosage using rollers and suction valves to mobilize the tissue.
