Choriocapillaris Perfusion after 8 Weeks of High-Speed Circuit Training in Older Healthy Adults
CONCLUSION: CCD appeared to remain stable after 8 weeks of HSCT in healthy older individuals, possibly due to autoregulation. Further research with extended training may be necessary to verify these findings.PMID:38679899 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2346538 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Best practices for the dissemination and implementation of neuromuscular training injury prevention warm-ups in youth team sport: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Workshops including supplementary resources supported the success of NMT programme implementation, however, few studies examined effectiveness. High-quality D&I studies are needed to optimise the translation of NMT programmes into routine practice in youth sport.PMID:38684329 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-106906 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)

"Emergency Room Incision and Drainage of Perirectal Abscess is Equivalent to Incision and Drainage in the Operating Room"
In this study, for patients presenting to the ED, bedside drainage was found to be an adequate management strategy to achieve complete drainage without a significant increase in the rate of complications when compared to operative drainage.PMID:38684322 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241248785 (Source: The American Surgeon)

FA4SANS-GAN: A Novel Machine Learning Generative Adversarial Network to Further Understand Ophthalmic Changes in Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS)
CONCLUSIONS: Our study has shown FA4SANS-GAN to be statistically significant for 2 GAN synthesis metrics. Moreover, it is robust against acquisition noise, and can retain clear biological markers compared with the other 3 GAN architectures. This deployment of this model can be crucial in the International Space Station for detecting SANS.FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES: The authors have no proprietary or commercial interest in any materials discussed in this article.PMID:38682031 | PMC:PMC11046204 | DOI:10.1016/j.xops.2024.100493 (Source: Cancer Control)

Emergency Physician Performed Ultrasound-Guided Abdominal Paracentesis: A Retrospective Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Emergency physicians with training in real-time needle guidance with ultrasound were able to use POCUS to perform ultrasound-guided paracentesis in the emergency department with a high success rate and no fatal complications. Based on our experience, we recommend performing ultrasound-guided paracentesis using a linear transducer, with attention to identifying vessels near the procedure site and maintaining sterile technique.PMID:38681156 | PMC:PMC11044928 | DOI:10.24908/pocus.v9i1.16668 (Source: Pain Physician)

Neither Amphetamine nor Sub-Anesthetic Ketamine Treatment during Adolescence Impairs Devaluation in Rats Tested during Adulthood
CONCLUSIONS: We discuss possible reasons for this discrepancy with the prior literature, including (1) the age of exposure and (2) the pattern in the previous literature that most previous demonstrations of drug exposure impairing devaluation in laboratory animals may be attributed to either drug-associated cues present in the testing environment and/or accelerated habit learning in tasks that predispose laboratory animals towards habit formation with extended training (with training procedures that should resist the formation of habits in the current experiment). However, additional research is needed to examine the effec...

Comparative electroencephalography analysis: Marathon runners during tapering versus sedentary controls reveals no significant differences
DiscussionHeterogeneity in study protocols, especially in time intervals between exercise cessation and EEG recordings and juxtaposition of acute exercise-induced effects on EEG in previous studies, could be possible reasons for the differences in results. Future studies should record EEG at different time points after exercise cessation and in a broader spectrum of exercise intensities and forms to further explore the capability of EEG in displaying long-term exercise-induced plasticity.
