Objectives: Although exercise-induced vascular adaptations have been extensively reported in racket sports athletes, the applicability of these findings to athletes in other overhead sports is unclear. This study aimed to investigate exercise-induced vascular adaptations in college male baseball players. Furthermore, since the training frequency of the upper arm may differ by baseball playing position, this study also focused on playing position-specific differences in brachial arterial adaptations.

Objectives: In children admitted after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), this study 1) determines the proportion that undergo: physical abuse and toxin exposure evaluation, child protection team (CPT) consultation, and child protective services (CPS) referral, and 2) evaluates the association between demographic, social, clinical characteristics with CPT consultation and CPS referral.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was conducted of children < 4 years old admitted following an OHCA between November 2012 and February 2023. Associations between demographics, caregiver social risk factors, and clinical characteristics with CPT consultation and CPS referral were examined using logistic regression.

Background: Ancillary breast cancer (BC) radiation therapy (RT), particularly associated with chemotherapy, increases the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, it remains unclear whether this risk also applies to isolated contemporary radiotherapy without chemotherapy.
Methods: Seventy-five BC patients (35 left-sided and 40 right-sided) treated with RT and available dosimetry, prospectively underwent Agatston calcium score (CAC) and coronary CT angiography (CTCA) a median of 11 ± 1 years later and were compared to 75 age- and cardiovascular (CV) risk factor-matched female controls without a history of cancer.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and clinical associations of anti-C1q antibodies in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), focusing on renal involvement and cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis (CSVV).
Methods: We enrolled patients who met the revised 2020 Comprehensive Diagnostic Criteria and/or the 2019 ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria for IgG4-RD. Variables included demographics, organ involvement, clinical phenotypes, disease activity, serum biomarkers, follow-up duration, remission, and relapses.

Background: Pediatric brain tumors are understudied compared to other pediatric malignancies in low- and middle-income countries. Care delivery is inherently dependent on collaboration between multiple departments. This study aimed to present baseline data of pediatric neuro-oncology care in Western Kenya and illustrate barriers and facilitators of multidisciplinary care.
