Cardiac Concerns in the Pediatric Athlete
Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death in Americans. It is no secret that exercise mitigates this risk. Exercise and regular physical activity are beneficial for physical health including aerobic conditioning, endurance, strength, mental health, and overall improved quality of life. Unfortunately, today many children and adolescents are sedentary, lacking the recommended daily amount of physical activity, leading to higher rates of obesity, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, anxiety, and depression.

Modern Treatment of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis —The Importance of Both Medical Therapy and Carotid Endarterectomy
Each year there are approximately 700  000 new ischemic strokes in the US, and 10% to 15% of them are caused by thromboembolism from a previously asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS). Three large randomized clinical trials, published in the 1990s and early 2000s, have demonstrated a significant benefit of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) i n preventing stroke in patients with severe ACS compared with medical therapy alone. They showed a 50% relative risk reduction in 5-year stroke rate and an approximately 1% per year absolute stroke risk reduction. Over the course of the past 2 decades, there has been significant improvement...

Acute Effects of Frequent Light-Intensity Standing-Based Exercises That Interrupt 8  Hours of Prolonged Sitting on Postprandial Glucose in Stroke Survivors: A Dose-Escalation Trial
CONCLUSION: Interrupting 8 hours of prolonged sitting at least every 90 minutes with light-intensity standing-based exercises attenuates postprandial glucose in stroke survivors. During the morning, postprandial glucose is attenuated when sitting is interrupted every 60 and 90 minutes.PMID:33952707 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2020-0516
