Article Abstract
Background: Monitoring health-related physical fitness (HRPF) may benefit proactive Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) management. However, knowledge regarding HRPF in patients with IBD is limited and gold standard tests are impractical for widespread use, necessitating simpler methods.
Aim: This study evaluated the criterion validity of screening tools and field-based tests compared to gold standard tests for HRPF in patients with IBD.
Methods: Adult patients with IBD completed screening tools, field-based tests, and gold standard tests for HRPF. Criterion validity was examined through (intraclass) correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots. Predictive capacity of the screening tools was examined with receiver operating curve analysis.
Results: Among 53 included patients, screening tools demonstrated poor-to-moderate validity compared to the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) for cardiorespiratory fitness. Very strong correlations were found for four-site skinfold thickness and multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis (BIA) with deuterium oxide dilution for body fat percentage (ICC = 0.90, ICC = 0.93), and between the steep ramp test and CPET (r = 0.95) for cardiorespiratory fitness. The steep ramp test also correlated strongly with isokinetic quadriceps (r > 0.75) and hamstring (r > 0.74) strength. Hand-held dynamometry and the sit-to-stand test showed strong correlations with hamstring strength (r > 0.80, r > 0.76). Negligible correlations were found for field-based tests compared to isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring endurance.
Conclusions: Four-site skinfold thickness and BIA showed good agreement with the gold standard for body fat measurement. The steep ramp test demonstrated strong correlations with the gold standard tests for cardiorespiratory fitness and quadriceps and hamstring strength, while hand-held dynamometry and the sit-to-stand test showed strong correlations with hamstring strength.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and sepsis are the leading causes of high mortality rates in intensive care units. While sepsis frequently affects the cardiovascular system, distinguishing between sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy and AMI remains challenging due to overlapping biomarkers. Misdiagnosis can hinder timely treatment and increase risk of complications.

Introduction/aims: While dystrophinopathies are primarily characterized by progressive muscle weakness with onset during childhood, dystrophin also plays a role in brain development. This study aimed to characterize how neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders are currently identified and managed in clinical care of those with Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BDMD).
Methods: Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) disseminated surveys to caregivers and health care providers (HCPs) in the United States to assess the frequency and management of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders of those with dystrophinopathy.

Motivation: Thousands of genomes are publicly available, however, most genes in those genomes have poorly defined functions. This is partly due to a gap between previously published, experimentally-characterized protein activities and activities deposited in databases. This activity deposition is bottlenecked by the time-consuming biocuration process.

Background: People with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) experience a range of symptoms that increase and decline as a result of the natural hormonal fluctuations of the menstrual cycle. For the diagnosis of PMDD, symptom severity needs to be recorded daily for at least two symptomatic cycles. In recent years, the rise in interest in Femtech (tools and technology developed to address women's health issues) has resulted in a large quantity of "period-tracking apps" being developed and downloaded.

Infants requiring surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) are at an increased risk of neurodevelopmental delay. Developmental Care Rounds (DCR) have been implemented widely to support the neurodevelopment of children with CHD while admitted to the hospital. This study aims to describe caregiver perceptions of DCR at a quaternary academic children's heart center.
