- This study explored how wearing different types of surgical masks (a standard surgical mask and a three-dimensional mask) affects elite weightlifters during intense resistance exercises.
- Twenty elite male and female weightlifters participated in three different exercise sessions: one without a mask, one with a standard surgical mask, and one with a 3D surgical mask.
- Results showed that both types of masks and no mask enhanced post-exercise hypotension (lower blood pressure), with participants reporting less discomfort and breathing resistance with the 3D mask compared to the standard one.
Background: This retrospective cohort study investigated the risk of major bleeding events during the concurrent use of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) and anticoagulants in clinical practice.
Methods: A total of 4,470 patients receiving anticoagulant drugs were selected from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). Half (n = 2,235) were also using CHMs (CHM cohort); the other half were not (non-CHM cohort).
