This study examined changes in the physiological parameters of running performance when self-myofascial release (SMR) was used prior to a submaximal run. A total of 16 male recreational runners, between the ages of 27 and 50 years old volunteered for the study. Participants had to complete a running event measuring a 10K or longer in the past 12 months and obtained a O value of 45 mL·kg · min to be included in the study. Participants took part in two 40 min treadmill runs at 75% of their O, one session with the use of SMR and the other with 20 min of seated rest prior to the run. Measurements of heart rate, blood lactate concentrations, ventilatory efficiency (E/ O), RPE, and running velocity were assessed. There was no statistically significant interaction or treatment effect for these variables when SMR was used prior to a 40 min treadmill run ( > .05; heart rate: = .01, E/ O: = .07, RPE: = .07). Although no positive effects on running performance were found, the lack of negative effects suggests the use of SMR prior to running does not hinder performance.

Article Synopsis
  • - Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a long-term inflammatory disease that requires ongoing treatment, with options like guselkumab and IL-17A inhibitors (ixekizumab, secukinumab) approved for use in adults by the FDA.
  • - A retrospective analysis studied adults with PsA who started treatment with either guselkumab or IL-17A inhibitors, assessing how long they continued their therapy based on insurance claims data from July 2020 to June 2022.
  • - Results showed that patients on guselkumab were significantly more likely to stick with their treatment for at least a year compared to those on IL-17A inhibitors, with longer median persistence and lower discontinuation rates for the gus

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the significance of high-intensity signals in interspinous ligaments in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) and to identify the best diagnostic methods for assessing segmental instability.
  • A total of 73 patients were assessed, divided into two groups based on the presence of high-intensity signals, with Group H showing more functional impairment and longer 5-repetition sit-to-stand test times compared to Group NH.
  • The results indicated that instability was more prevalent in Group H (77.3%) compared to Group NH (37.3%), suggesting that high-intensity signals correlate with more severe segmental instability in DLS.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates the cancer mortality risk for solid organ transplant recipients through a comprehensive review and meta-analysis of existing research.
  • It found that these recipients have over double the cancer mortality risk compared to the general population, with kidney, liver, and lung/heart transplant recipients facing the highest risks.
  • The research emphasizes the need for focused cancer screening and preventative measures, particularly for female transplant recipients from East Asia, who experience even greater risks for certain cancers.

Introduction: Patient medical and surgical history factors, such as prior prostatectomy, may lead surgeons to opt for ectopic reservoir placement rather than the standard reservoir location in the retropubic space (RPS) during inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) placement.

Objective: To examine the safety and effectiveness of ectopic reservoir placement used with three-piece IPPs in relation to reservoir placement in the RPS.

Methods: A systematic review of MEDLINE/Pubmed and Embase databases was performed for literature between 1970 and 2022.
