BMJ Open Sport Exerc Med
March 2024
Article Synopsis
- Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) is a serious condition that can negatively impact both health and performance, and the complexities of diagnosing and managing it are well-documented in research.
- Dance, similar to other sports, has unique physiological and psychological demands that increase the risk of REDs, especially when dancers engage in intense training and face societal pressures regarding body image.
- This study aimed to create dance-focused guidelines for identifying and managing REDs by using a comprehensive Delphi process involving experts and dancers, ultimately developing practical pathways to support clinicians in this area.
Physician unionization is gaining traction in the United States, with <10% of practicing physicians now members, up from historically weak support. Factors that drive interest in unions include a decreased number of independent practitioners, an increase in workloads, and the erosion of autonomy. Approximately 56% of anesthesiologists are considered employees and may be eligible for union membership.

We aimed to demonstrate that liquid biopsy, associated with rapid turnaround time (TAT) and lower patient burden, effectively identifies guideline-recommended biomarkers in mCRC relative to standard of care (SOC) tissue testing.
Patients And Methods: Prospectively enrolled patients with previously untreated mCRC undergoing physician discretion SOC tissue genotyping submitted pretreatment blood samples for comprehensive circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis with Guardant360 and targeted RAS and BRAF analysis with OncoBEAM.
Background: The use of vitamin D supplementation has increased due to greater recognition of widespread deficiency.
Aims: There has been little research on the effectiveness of different delivery methods and therefore the aim of was to test the efficacy of different delivery methods on serum 25(OH)D.
Methods: Using a randomised repeated measures double-blind placebo design (registered under ClinicalTrials.
