Background: Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are widely used as sports nutrition supplements. However, their impact on the rate of force development (RFD), an indicator of explosive muscle strength, has not yet been validated. This study aimed to assess the impact of BCAA supplementation on the RFD in college basketball players during simulated games.

Introduction: In renal transplantation, donor hepatitis C virus (HCV) status is crucial to consider when selecting a recipient given the high likelihood of transmission. We analyzed the effect of donor HCV status on post-renal transplant rejection and virologic infectious outcomes using electronic health record data from multiple US health care organizations.
Methods: Using real world data from electronic health records of renal transplant recipients, a propensity score-matched case-control study of one-year renal transplant outcomes was conducted on cohorts of HCV-negative recipients who received an organ from an HCV-positive donor (HCV D+/R-) versus from an HCV-negative donor (HCV D-/R-).

Introduction: Based on US-FDA guidelines to create tools for development and evaluation of medical devices in non-clinical and clinical studies, the Validated Intraoperative Bleeding (VIBe) Scale was developed. The current investigation expands upon the earlier validation study with multi-specialty surgeons to further corroborate these findings and establish feasibility to implement VIBe SCALE into clinical practice and surveys degree of anticipated bleeding across common procedures in multiple surgical disciplines.
Methods: Following online didactic VIBe SCALE training, participating surgeons graded bleeding in ten porcine model videos corresponding to the original validation study.

Background: The performance of the inflammatory biomarkers in the management of septic patients who received antimicrobial therapies is largely neglected. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of procalcitonin (PCT), neutrophil CD64 (CD64), and C-reactive protein (CRP) for the diagnosis and prognosis of septic patients after antimicrobial therapy.
Methods: This study prospectively recruited consecutive patients without infection and those diagnosed with infection but had received initial antimicrobial therapies.
