Biological variation of cardiac biomarkers in athletes during an entire sport season.
Clin Chem Lab Med
January 2025
Deparment of Laboratory Medicine, 16268 La Paz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain.
Objectives: Cardiac biomarkers are useful for the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of myocardial injury (MI) and heart failure. By measuring specific proteins released into the bloodstream during heart stress or damage, these biomarkers help clinicians detect the presence and extent of heart injury and tailor appropriate treatment plans. This study aims to provide robust biological variation (BV) data for cardiac biomarkers in athletes, specifically focusing on those applied to detect or exclude MI, such as myoglobin, creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) and cardiac troponins (cTn), and those related to heart failure and cardiac dysfunction, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal brain natriuretic pro-peptide (NT-proBNP).

Center for Genomic Medicine, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: Diaphragm thickness is a potential marker of sarcopenia in addition to muscle mass and strength at extremities. We aimed to clarify the descriptive epidemiology and prognostic significance of diaphragm thickness in the general population.
Methods: The study participants were 3324 community residents (mean age: 61.
RADAR-AD: assessment of multiple remote monitoring technologies for early detection of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimers Res Ther
January 2025
Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing SCAI, Sankt Augustin, Germany.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions worldwide, leading to cognitive and functional decline. Early detection and intervention are crucial for enhancing the quality of life of patients and their families. Remote Monitoring Technologies (RMTs) offer a promising solution for early detection by tracking changes in behavioral and cognitive functions, such as memory, language, and problem-solving skills.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
School of Nursing and Midwifery, Griffith University, Southport, QLD 4215, Australia.
Background: Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) impedes venous blood return from the lower extremities due to iliac vein compression, manifesting as leg swelling, varicose veins, and thrombosis. These symptoms significantly degrade quality of life. Although iliac vein stenting provides symptomatic relief, the recovery process is protracted and fraught with challenges such as in-stent restenosis and psychological distress.

Lasers Med Sci
January 2025
Postgraduate Program in Rehabilitation Sciences, Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE), 235/249 Vergueiro Street, Sao Paulo, SP, 01525000, Brazil.
This study aims to assess the effects of aquatic training (AT) and its combination with photobiomodulation (PBM) on cytokine synthesis and plantar muscle morphology during compensatory hypertrophy (H) in Wistar rats. H was induced by bilateral ablation of synergistic muscles, and PBM using a laser (780 nm). AT involved 60 min sessions, 5 times/week, for 7 and 14 days.
