This study compares the inter hospital long distance transports undertaken by a qualified transport team versus those done by other means. This was a retrospective descriptive comparative study of the neonatal transports done during a period of 33 months from various maternity and pediatric centers to a pediatric tertiary referral centre. We found that biochemical and temperature disturbances are more common in babies transported on their own and a specialized neonatal transport service could improve the survival of these babies. Survival was 96.2% (154/160) and 89% (114/128) in the two groups, respectively (P=0.03).

The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of modified heart preservation techniques with conventional heart preservation techniques on heart transplant recipients. The goal was to determine if these modified preservation techniques could extend the preservation of the donor heart without increasing the risk of recipient mortality. A retrospective analysis was carried out on 763 cases of orthotopic heart transplantation performed at Wuhan Union Hospital and Nanjing First Hospital, from September 2008 to October 2022.

Skeletal muscle shear elastic modulus is a non-invasive surrogate for early detection of muscle damage and soreness consequent to unaccustomed eccentric muscle work. We investigated the influence of marathon distance running on skeletal muscle shear elastic modulus. Shear modulus of the rectus femoris was measured via ultrasound shear wave elastography in 80 participants (30 female, 50 male) before and after running a World Marathon Major.

Background: Sprouting blood vessels, reaching the aimed location, and establishing the proper connections are vital for building vascular networks. Such biological processes are subject to precise molecular regulation. So far, the mechanistic insights into understanding how blood vessels grow to the correct position are limited.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the development of speed, endurance and power in young football players and to create percentile charts and tables for standardized assessment.
Methods: Cross-sectional data were collected from 495 male players aged 12-16 years at RKS Raków Częstochowa Academy in 2018-2022. Players participated in a systematic training in which running time 5 m, 10 m, 30 m, lower limb power (standing long jump), and Maximum Aerobic Speed (MAS) were measured using the 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test.
