Objectives: The effects of vascular occlusion on recovery of physiological and neuromuscular markers over 24h, and hormonal reactivity to subsequent exercise were investigated.
Design: Counterbalanced, randomised, crossover.
Methods: Academy rugby players (n=24) completed six 50-m sprints (5-min inter-set recovery) before occlusion cuff application (thighs) and intermittent inflation to 171-266mmHg (Recovery) or 15mmHg (Con) for 12-min (two sets, 3-min repetitions, 3-min non-occluded reperfusion). Countermovement jumps, blood (lactate, creatine kinase), saliva (testosterone, cortisol), and perceptual (soreness, recovery) responses were measured before (baseline) and after (post, +2h, +24h) sprinting. Saliva was sampled after a 30-min resistance exercise session performed 24h after sprinting.
Results: Although sprinting (total: 40.0±2.8s, p=0.238; average: 6.7±0.5s, p=0.674) influenced creatine kinase (p<0.001, +457.1±327.3μL, at 24h), lactate (p<0.001, 6.8±2.3mmolL, post), testosterone (p<0.001, -55.9±63.2pgmL, at 2h) and cortisol (p<0.001, -0.3±0.3μgdL, at 2h) concentrations, countermovement jump power output (p<0.001, -409.6±310.1W; -5.4±3.4cm, post), perceived recovery (p<0.001, -3.0±2.3, post), and muscle soreness (p<0.001; 1.5±1.1, at 24h), vascular occlusion had no effect (all p>0.05) on recovery. In response to subsequent exercise performed 24h after vascular occlusion, testosterone increased pre-to-post-exercise (Recovery: p=0.031, 21.6±44.9pgmL; Con: p=0.178, 10.6±36.6pgmL) however Δtestosterone was not significantly different (p=0.109) between conditions.
Conclusions: Vascular occlusion had no effect on physiological or neuromuscular markers 2h or 24h after sprinting or in response to a physical stress test.

A paradigm in panfacial fracture treatment to improved dental occlusion.
Trauma Case Rep

Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Universitas, Indonesia.
Introduction: The prevalence of maxillofacial fractures is rising due to increased road traffic accidents, necessitating prompt and effective management, especially in cases of panfacial fractures. The primary objective in treating such fractures is to restore occlusion and stabilize midface buttresses and pillars.
Case Report: This article presents the case of a 56-year-old male who sustained panfacial fractures following a road accident, exhibiting symptoms including facial pain and nosebleeds.
Research Best Practices for Eye Stroke Vision Rehabilitation: A Qualitative Study.

Department of Ophthalmology, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA.
Purpose: Central retinal artery occlusion, also known as an eye stroke, results in visual impairment and functional challenges. Our study objectives were to identify meaningful measures and factors that indicate or enable successful recovery after eye stroke and to determine optimal processes to support research, including exploring barriers and facilitators to successful research participation.
Methods: We used qualitative methods including the 5Ts Framework (target population identification, team composition, time considerations, tips to accommodate older adults, tools for inclusive enrollment of older adults) to provide a guide to the development of the semi-structured interviews and to help facilitate the research process such as the set-up of interviews.

Radiology Department, Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou City, PR China.
Background: Cerebral infarction is one of the most common diseases. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been used to evaluate for crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) to observe the expression of repulsive guidance molecule a (RGMa), the axonal regeneration as well as the effect on neural functional recovery in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model.
Purpose: To certify the expression pattern of RGMa in cerebral infarction and the mechanism of CCD to provide a new target for clinical therapy.
