Effects of blood flow restriction exercises on bone metabolism: a systematic review
This study analysed the effect of low‐intensity (LI) exercises with blood flow restriction (BFR) on bone metabolism compared with high‐intensity (HI) exercises without BFR. The following databases were searched using the keywords therapeutic occlusion training OR BFR training OR vascular occlusion training OR KAATSU training OR ischaemia training AND osteogenesis OR bone biomarkers OR bone metabolic marker OR bone mass OR bone turnover OR osteoporosis OR osteopenia: PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, Science Direct, Cochrane and Google Scholar. Two researchers, independently and blindly, selected the studies ...

Test of simulator ‐based assessment of psychomotor skill in transthoracic echo
ConclusionsThese results demonstrate that deviation angle, a novel metric of technical skill in image acquisition, reflects clinical experience. Simulator‐based testing provides objective and quantitative assessment that may be of value in the certification of trainees and for maintenance of certification.

Reliability of autonomic and vascular components of baroreflex sensitivity in adolescents
This study aimed to investigate between‐ and within‐day reliability of BRS and its autonomic and vascular determinants in adolescents. Thirteen male adolescents (14·1 ± 0·5 y) participated in this study. For between‐day reliability, participants completed four experimental visits separated by a minimum of 48‐h. For within‐day reliability, participants repeated BRS assessments three times in the morning with one hour between the measures. BRS was evaluated using the cross‐spectral gain (LFgain) between blood pressure and heart rate interval. BRS was further divided into: 1) vascular component using arterial...

Ejection fraction as a statistical index of left ventricular systolic function: the first full allometric scrutiny of its appropriateness and accuracy
Summary Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is a ratio that is deemed to accurately normalize stroke volume (SV) to end‐diastolic volume (EDV). Ratios are now well‐recognized for not normalizing the numerator, in this case SV, consistently for the denominator, EDV. We aimed to provide the first allometric‐based scrutiny of the conventional assumptions that underpin the EF ratio. We allometrically modelled untransformed SV and EDV measurements from 112 preclinical heart failure patients in the Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), and 864 chronic heart failure patients in the Treatment of Preserved Cardi...

Impact of blood flow ‐restricted bodyweight exercise on skeletal muscle adaptations
In conclusion, six weeks of bodyweight‐based BFR exercise promoted myocellular adaptations related to muscle accretion, but not metabolic properties. Moreover, the study revealed that an appropriate total training volume needs further investigation before recommending bodyweight BFR to patient populations.

Semitendinosus and patellar tendons shear modulus evaluation by supersonic shearwave imaging elastography
ConclusionSemitendinosus tendon μ was significantly higher than PT μ in both tensioned and relaxed positions. This can predict a higher ultimate force to failure and a less elastic behaviour in ST grafts when compared to PT grafts. This new parameter could aid physicians in graft choice previous to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)
