Abstract Background Multi‐frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF‐BIA) offers enhanced body composition outcomes in a time‐efficient manner. The accuracy of stand‐up MF‐BIA compared against four‐compartment (4C) criterion lacks evidence. Objectives To validate to 4C for fat mass (FM), fat‐free (FFM) and percentage (%fat). Subjects/Methods Eighty‐two healthy (32% men) normal‐weight (BMI: 18.5–24.9 kg/m 2 ) young adults were measured determined from model. Validity statistics included...
Laborers are particularly vulnerable to exertional injuries and illnesses, as they often engage in heavy physical work for prolonged hours, yet no studies have examined the top causes of catastrophic fatalities among this population. The purpose investigation was characterize injury fatality within open access, Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) reportable data. A secondary analysis OSHA reported data performed through access records from Severe Injury Reports (2015–2022)...
Abstract Few investigations have evaluated the validity of current body composition technology among racially and ethnically diverse populations. This study assessed common methods in a multi-ethnic sample stratified by race ethnicity. One hundred ten individuals (55 % female, age: 26·5 ( sd 6·9) years) identifying as Asian, African American/Black, Caucasian/White, Hispanic, Multi-racial Native American were enrolled. Seven models (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), air displacement...
Background: While increased face mask use has helped reduce COVID-19 transmission, there have been concerns about its influence on thermoregulation during exercise in the heat, but consistent, evidence-based recommendations are lacking. Hypothesis: No physiological differences would exist low-to-moderate intensity heat between trials with and without masks, perceptual sensations could vary. Study Design: Crossover study. Level of Evidence: 2. Methods: Twelve physically active participants (8...

Culturing cells on thermoresponsive polymers enables to be harvested as an intact cell sheet without disrupting the extracellular matrix or compromising cell-cell junctions. Previously, fabrication methods using methylcellulose (MC) gel and PNIPAAm were independently demonstrated. In this study, MC are detailed resulting sheets characterized in parallel studies for direct comparison of human adipose derived stromal/stem (hASCs) formation, morphology, viability, proliferation, osteogenic...
The purpose of this study was to compare the independent and combined effects high-intensity interval training (HIIT) essential amino acids (EAA) on lean mass, muscle characteristics quadriceps, 24-hr whole-body protein turnover (WBPT) in overweight obese adults. An exploratory aim evaluate potential modulatory sex. Sixty-six adults (50% female; Age: 36.7 ± 6.0 yrs; %BF: 36.0 7.8%) were assigned 8 wks of: (a) HIIT, 2 days/wk; (b) EAA supplementation, 3.6 g twice daily; (c) HIIT + EAA; or (d)...
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tissue sections is widely used for quantifying the expression patterns of proteins and part standard care cancer diagnosis prognosis, but limited to staining a single protein per tissue. Tissue microarray microfluidics methods have emerged as powerful high throughput techniques, they either only permit analysis slide or require complex instrumentation expertise while isolated areas. Here, we introduce IHC microarrays (IHCμA) multiplexed intact tissues with...
Three-dimensional (3D) body scanner technology for composition assessment is expanding. The aim of this study was to assess the validity a 3D scanner. One hundred and ninety-four participants (43% male; age: 23.52 ± 5.47 years; mass index: 23.98 3.24 kg·m-2) were measured using 4-compartment (4C) model utilizing dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), air displacement plethysmography, bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy. Dependent t tests, statistics including total error (TE), standard...
Abstract Peripheral artery disease is a cardiovascular characterized by narrowing of arteries that supply blood to the extremities, particularly, legs. When surgical intervention warranted, primary approach balloon angioplasty. Drug coated balloons (DCB) designed release antimitogenic agents site blockage are relatively new product aimed at reducing re‐narrowing, or restenosis, after intervention. However, first generation DCB utilize mainly direct application chemotherapy drug paclitaxel,...
Purpose To investigate heat stress mitigation strategies on productivity and thermoregulatory responses during simulated occupational work in the heat. Methods Thirteen physically active men (age, 25 ± 4 years; body mass,77.8 14.7 kg; VO 2 peak, 44.5 9.2 ml·kg −1 ·min ) completed five randomized-controlled trials a hot environment (40°C, 40% relative humidity). Each trial was 4.5 h duration to simulate an outdoor shift. Thermoregulatory (heart rate, HR; rectal temperature, Trec; mean skin...
Outdoor races introduce environmental stressors to runners, and core temperature changes may influence runners' movement patterns. This study assessed determined relationships between sensor-derived running biomechanics among runners across an 11.27-km road race. Core temperatures would increase significantly the race, related in spatiotemporal biomechanical measures. Cross-sectional cohort study. Level 3. Twenty (9 female, 11 male; age, 48 ± 12 years; height, 169.7 9.1 cm; mass, 71.3 13.4...

Fat-free mass (FFM) accounts for ~80% of the variance in resting energy expenditure (REE), and this relationship is complicated by adiposity. The objective was to compare adjusted REE contributions skeletal lean fat (FM) women with varying adiposity levels using a novel approach.Women were divided into tertiles body percent (%fat): Tertile 1 (T1): %fat = 18.5%-28.4%; 2 (T2): 28.5%-33.8%; 3 (T3): 34.0%-61.0%. Outcome measures measured REE, composition (skeletal mass, FM, %fat) from...
