The EDUCATE study investigated the acute impact of energy drink (ED) consumption on heart rate variability (HRV) in children and adolescents, with a focus how these stimulant-rich beverages influence cardiac autonomic function. Given popularity EDs among young people, this assessed immediate cardiovascular response to ED intake. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial involved 26 healthy participants aged 10-18 years. Each participant consumed weight-adjusted or...
Background The Occlutech Figulla ASD device series (OFSO) shows an improved design for interventional closure, larger follow‐up are missing. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the feasibility, safety, implantation properties, results, and of closure using devices over a 5 year period by establishing multi‐institutional collaborative result registry with 16 contributing centers from 11 countries (IRFACODE). Results In 1315 patients all age groups (female 66.9%), successful (98%) was...
The selection of surgical approach for patients suffering from acute thoracolumbar spinal trauma is presently imbued with great controversy. method chosen depends on the type fracture, anatomic and biomechanical factors, habits experience surgeon involved. Due to new techniques posterior use internal fixators, indications anterior must be reassessed. primary indication decompression grafting narrowing canal neurologic deficits that cannot resolved by any other approach. Additional are seen...
The consumption of Energy Drinks (ED) is very popular among children and teenagers. While potential cardiovascular side effects these beverages are suggested, the acute impact ED on pediatric system has not been systematically examined yet. aim this study was to investigate blood pressure heart rate in healthy teenagers.This a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial. On two consecutive days, participants were asked consume weight-adjusted amount an (3 mg...
Abstract Background and Aims Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) is indicated to treat right-ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction related congenital heart disease (CHD). Outcomes of TPVI with the SAPIEN 3 that are insufficiently documented were investigated in EUROPULMS3 registry 3-TPVI. Methods Patient-related, procedural, follow-up outcome data retrospectively assessed this observational cohort from 35 centres 15 countries. Results Data for 840 consecutive patients...
Abstract Background Studies on procalcitonin (PCT) for identifying sepsis were published as early 1993 and since then, PCT has been the topic of over 8,500 studies. Several studies show to be superior CRP in differentiating invasive infections such from viral infections, especially disease course. However, its actual use clinical practice is poorly documented. Our aim was study febrile children attending ED across Europe compare this CRP. Methods The MOFICHE/PERFORM study, a prospective...
Background/Objectives: physical activity (PA) in children offers lifelong benefits, yet nearly four five are insufficiently active. We examined sex-specific differences sport participation by type and its association with weight status. Methods: the ongoing hand-on-heart-study (“Hand-aufs-Herz”), comprehensive data on sociodemographic profiles, PA, anthropometry were collected from 922 school-aged children, adolescents, young adults (8–20 years) Germany. Sex-specific participation, types,...
Beyond their effect on blood pressure, the of energy drinks heart rate in children and teenagers has not been evaluated until now. Thus, this study aimed to investigate acute cardiovascular effects healthy teenagers. Twenty-six adolescents (mean age 14.49 years) received a commercially available drink (ED) placebo two consecutive days based maximum caffeine dosage as proposed by European Food Safety Authority. Heart rhythm electrocardiographic time intervals were assessed prospective,...
