We propose a novel method for assessing metabolic flexibility (MF) through indirect calorimetry. A total of twenty healthy volunteers (10 females; 10 males) aged 45-65 were categorized into a Low-Intensity activity group (LI, 0-1 session of 1 h per week) and a High-Intensity activity group (HI, 5-6 sessions of 2 h per week). Volunteers underwent a stepwise exercise test on a cycle ergometer, connected to a calorimeter, to examine respiratory gas exchange to evaluate peak fatty acid Oxidation (PFO) and peak carbohydrate oxidation (PCO).

Article Synopsis
- Xipapillomavirus, a group of viruses found primarily in cattle, causes papillomatosis and can lead to malignant tumors, significantly affecting beef and dairy production worldwide.
- This study identifies a new type of Xipapillomavirus, called BPV30, linked to udder papilloma in a Jersey cow in Costa Rica, with its genome fully sequenced and molecularly characterized.
- The findings emphasize the importance of BPV30 for developing targeted prevention methods to reduce viral spread and the health issues associated with lesions in cattle, supporting better animal production outcomes.
Our aim was to assess adherence to the Mediterranean diet in a group of 726 secondary school students (336 girls, 390 boys) who completed the web-based Medi-Lite questionnaire simultaneously, during school hours, at the "Istituto Professionale per l'Enogastronomia e l'Ospitalità Alberghiera Marco Polo" in Genoa, Italy. The mean adherence score was 9.28 ± 2.

We wanted to determine whether patients with diastolic function impairment showed a different hemodynamic response compared with normal subjects during this reflex. Hemodynamics during activation of the metaboreflex obtained by postexercise muscle ischemia (PEMI) was assessed in 10 patients with diagnosed heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and in 12 age-matched healthy controls (CTL).
