- This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of ICU survivors with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), focusing on their ability to resume optimal cancer treatment after ICU discharge.
- The research included a retrospective analysis of 366 patients, finding that 170 survivors were left with substantial treatment modifications; with 42% requiring changes due to factors such as age, hyperbilirubinemia, and therapeutic limitations.
- The one-year survival rate after ICU discharge was 59.5%, highlighting the need for careful management of cancer treatments in this vulnerable patient population to improve outcomes.
Introduction: Ice hockey demands a unique blend of physical fitness and skill, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing on-ice performance. The present study was designed to examine the relationship between off-ice and on-ice performance measures in male, youth, ice hockey players.
Methods: Eleven minor hockey players (Age = 9.
Background: Therapeutic plasma exchanges (TPE), which affect the humoral response, are often performed in combination with immunosuppressive drugs. For this reason, TPE may be associated with an increased susceptibility to infections. We aimed to describe blood stream infection (BSI) incidence in ICU patients treated with TPE and to identify associated risk factors.

In Florida, imported cane toads () were accidentally and intentionally released on multiple occasions. Early populations were found to be infested with the invasive tick, , yet it is unknown if these ticks dispersed with their hosts as cane toads spread throughout much of the state.

- The study focused on the effectiveness of a modified Canadian ACCELERATION lifestyle program aimed at reducing physical inactivity and unhealthy eating habits among Brazilians living in Canada.
- After a 12-week intervention, the Brazilian experimental group showed significant increases in both moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and fruit/vegetable consumption, with many participants meeting recommended health guidelines.
- The program successfully improved health behaviors in participants, indicating its potential to address chronic disease risk factors in lower-income populations.
