https://youtu.be/KAfCLUuf1XY INTRODUCTION The Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) protocol includes collection cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) data as a key clinical outcome. Due to the large volume and institutions involved in MoTrPAC, CPET Core Lab was created manage repository, evaluate quality, analyze metabolic events continuous like ventilatory thresholds (VT). METHODS All centers MoTrPAC conducted CPETs on cycle ergometers following individualized...
<h3>Importance</h3> Patients with abnormal (positive) exercise electrocardiography, but normal stress echocardiography (+ECG/−Echo) are commonly encountered in clinical practice; however, the prognostic significance of this discordant result is unclear. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether patients +ECG/−Echo have a higher rate adverse events and poorer prognosis than negative ECG Echo imaging (−ECG/−Echo). <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Between January 1, 2000, February 28, 2014,...
The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is considered a gold standard in assessing cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) but has limited accessibility due to competency requirements and cost. Incorporating portable sensor devices into simple bedside of CRF could improve diagnostic prognostic value.
Background Splanchnic nerve modulation (SNM) is an emerging procedure to reduce cardiac filling pressures in heart failure. Although the main contributor reduction preload thought be increased venous capacitance splanchnic circulation, supporting evidence limited. We examined changes surrogates pre- and post-SNM. Methods Results This a prespecified analysis of prospective, open-label, single-arm interventional study evaluating effects percutaneous SNM with ropivacaine chronic failure...
Abstract Equations for the time course of depolymerization long‐chain polymers are derived by method randomization a parameter case in which all bonds have equal probability cleavage. This yields some gain insight and avoids necessity solving systems differential equations.
281 Background: Both ENZA and ABI are associated with significant toxicity to the cardiovascular-musculoskeletal system physical side effects. However whether they cause a decline in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), as conventional ADT does, has not been studied. We hypothesized that men treated or would have CRF, whereas those SIP-T not. Methods: Men starting standard of care (SOC) for asymptomatic minimally symptomatic mCRPC were per institutional standards. is control arm. Primary...
HISTORY: A 48-year-old white female patient (an elite road cyclist) attended an international coaching course in Europe where she contracted a virus. She rode, coached, and lived with U23 cyclists. In the second week of course, Middle Eastern athlete became ill 103 degree fever, SOB, chest pain, coughing joint pain. The coached 2 other athletes that were similar symptoms; these cyclists recovered rode again 10 days. Nine days after initial exposure to symptomatic cyclists, came down same...
HISTORY: A 48-year-old female elite road cyclist attended an international conference in Europe and contracted a virus while living isolated wing of housing with athletes she coached. During week 2, Gulf region athlete became ill 103°F degree fever, SOB, chest pain, coughing joint pain; 2 additional also ill. Nine days after initial exposure to the symptomatic cyclists, patient expressed same symptoms. Treatment began was flown back USA. Chest pain has continued for over 1 year moderate...
Research has shown point-of-testing counseling can be an effectively method of educating participants at their most teachable moment when conducted by a trained healthcare provider. This approach helps reinforce the importance specific appropriate lifestyle modifications and potentially educate influence behavior positively. Similarly, "train trainer" models have been successfully used in reaching residents rural areas. PURPOSE: The purpose this community-based project was to combat obesity...
Professional firefighters risk their lives for the constituents they serve and have one of most physically demanding jobs. Consequently, are expected to maintain a high level physical fitness. Unfortunately many professionals do not train on regular basis adequate fitness standards. Previous data from our lab has suggested positive correlation between activity levels, VO2peak values, waist circumference in city firefighters. PURPOSE: To compare levels Northeast Louisiana professional rural...

Professional firefighters in Northeast Louisiana are at risk for cardiovascular disease, as the constituents they serve. Most of professional departments have access to a local fitness facility or on-site and encouraged use them when on off duty. PURPOSE: To evaluate relationship between self-reported physical activity levels (PAL), cardiorespiratory values, lipid profile values city tracked over 4 years. METHODS: From 2004 2007 (n=28 male; age 36 ± 9.3 yrs. (mean SD); body fat % using three...

300 Background: Sunitinib (SUN) is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved for treatment of advanced RCC and high risk after nephrectomy. Evidence suggests that 2 week (wk) on, 1 wk off schedule (2/1) SUN administration may be more tolerable than the standard 4 (4/2). We investigated changes in cardiopulmonary function related parameters over time patients treated with both schedules SUN. Methods: Patients starting RCC, KPS ≥80 normal organ marrow...
