Argatroban, a hepatically metabolized direct thrombin inhibitor, is approved for anticoagulation in patients with or at risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We investigated the effect of renal function on argatroban therapy during PCI. From previous argatroban studies in PCI, we evaluated relationships between estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) and activated clotting times (ACTs), dosage, and outcomes in 219 patients with or at risk of HIT (HIT group, n = 67) or administered glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibition (non-HIT group, n = 152). Patients received an argatroban bolus (350 mcg/kg, HIT group; 250 or 300 mcg/kg, non-HIT group) then 25-30 mcg/kg/min (adjusted to achieve ACTs 300-450 s, HIT group) or 15 mcg/kg/min (target ACTs 275-325 s, non-HIT group), with additional 150-mcg/kg boluses if needed. Of 219 patients, 55 (25%) had CrCl

Objective: This study aimed to systematically investigate whether polarized or non-polarized training leads to greater physiological and performance adaptations in cyclists.
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, focusing on interventions categorized as polarized, non-polarized, or unclear. Inclusion criteria required participants to be at least recreationally trained cyclists (VO ≥ 59 ml/kg/min) and interventions lasting > 4 weeks.

(1) Background: Danaparoid sodium is a heparinoid antithrombotic that has been used for over 40 years for prophylaxis of DVT in non-HIT patients and for the treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with and without thrombosis. This update summarises current information on its pharmacology and reviews danaparoid dose management in a broad spectrum of clinical situations, including off-label indications. (2) Methods: Evidence from published clinical studies, case reports, compassionate use of danaparoid, and spontaneously reported serious adverse events is summarised and analysed by an interdisciplinary expert group to develop a consensus on dosing regimens of danaparoid for complex clinical situations, including vulnerable patient populations.

High-intensity training (HIT) has been shown to enhance physical fitness and reduce functional impairments in persons with moderately disabling chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). However, sustaining these improvements post-rehabilitation remains a challenge. To address this, a home-based, technology-supported HIT program utilizing telerehabilitation can be implemented at home.
