Athletes performing repetitive movements can develop arterial injuries. These are uncommon. We present a case of bilateral subclavian/axillary artery stenosis in a female patient referred to the rapid access chest pain clinic with a presumptive diagnosis of angina. Her symptoms were related to limb ischemia rather than cardiac insufficiency. Detailed history from this patient revealed that she had spent 8 years working as an acrobat being swung by the arms twice daily during performances.

Background: Various surgical treatments are increasingly adopted and gaining popularity for lymphedema treatment. However, challenges persist in selecting appropriate treatment modalities targeted for individual patients and achieving consensus on choice of treatment as well as outcomes. The systematic review aimed to create a treatment algorithm incorporating the latest scientific knowledge, to provide healthcare professionals and patients with a tool for informed decision-making, when selecting between treatments or combining them in a relevant manner.

Background: Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in vascular dementia leads to memory and motor deficits; Physical exercise improves these aspects and promotes neuroprotection. Sexual dimorphism may significantly influence both ischemic and exercise outcomes.
Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 2VO (Two-Vessel occlusion) and the acrobatic training on motor function, functional performance, and tissue loss in male and female rats.

Objective: Acrobatics and Tumbling (A&T), an emerging National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) sport, involves athletes with rigorous training backgrounds, usually extending from youth through early adulthood. This study examines the sleep health, diet quality, and lipid profile of A&T athletes clustered by their performance position.
Methods: Forty-two A&T athletes, clustered as tops ( = 19; age = 19.

The role of the cerebellar cortex in motor learning was investigated by comparing the paramedian lobule of adult rats given difficult acrobatic training to that of rats that had been given extensive physical exercise or had been inactive. The paramedian lobule is activated during limb movements used in both acrobatic training and physical exercise. Acrobatic animals had greater numbers of synapses per Purkinje cell than animals from the exercise or inactive groups.
