Background: The body composition of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes is well documented but no such data exist for university club sports athletes. Additionally, the majority of norms for NCAA athletes were created from individual methods requiring assumptions.
Objective: This study used a four-component (4C) model to measure the body composition of university club sports athletes.

For decades spirometry has been the benchmark test for capturing lung function in children but its recognized limitations required the development of other techniques. This article introduces novel techniques in lung function assessment for pediatric patients, including multiple breath washout, impulse oscillometry, structured light plethysmography, and electrical impedance tomography, and common themes in interpreting the results. Challenges include standardization, reference data, and clinical integration of these innovative tools.

Peripheral vascular diseases (PVDs) represent a significant burden on global human health and healthcare systems. With continued growth in obesity and diabetes, it is likely that the incidence of these conditions will increase. As many PVDs remain undiagnosed, low-cost and easy to use diagnostic methods are required.

Electrodes based on PEDOT:PSS are gaining increasing importance as conductive electrodes and functional layers in various sensors and biosensors due to their easy processing and biocompatibility. This study investigates PEDOT:PSS/graphene layers deposited via spray coating on flexible PET substrates. The layers are characterized in terms of their morphology, roughness (via AFM and SEM), and electrochemical properties in artificial sweat using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV).
