Article Abstract
Background/objective: Anaerobic exercise capacity is an important component of performing daily activities during childhood. However, diminished anaerobic exercise capacity has been reported in children with chronic conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare anaerobic exercise capacities between children with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and healthy peers.
Methods: Twenty-one children with FMF (FMF group) and 21 physically matched healthy controls (control group) were included. Peak power, peak power/kg, average power, and average power were evaluated using the Wingate Anaerobic Test.
Results: The peak power (FMF group: 254.8 W [IQR 25/75: 216.4/293.0 W] vs control group: 333.7 W [IQR 25/75: 241.3/570.5 W], p = 0.009), peak power/kg (FMF group: 6.3 W/kg [IQR 25/75: 5.2/7.0 W/kg] vs control group: 7.0 W/kg [IQR 25/75: 6.1/8.6 W/kg], p = 0.046), average power (FMF group: 186.0 W [IQR 25/75: 164.3/211.2 W] vs control group: 231.8 W [IQR 25/75: 181.8/338.1 W], p = 0.006), and average power/kg (FMF group: 4.5 W/kg [IQR 25/75: 3.8/5.0 W/kg] vs control group: 5.1 W/kg [IQR 25/75: 4.2/5.9 W/kg], p = 0.040) were found significantly higher in the control group compared with FMF group.
Conclusions: Children with FMF seems to have diminished anaerobic exercise capacity compared with their healthy peers.

Vascularity assessment in Hashimoto's thyroiditis: a prospective comparative study with power Doppler and superb microvascular imaging.

Purpose: To quantitatively evaluate the vascularity of the thyroid parenchyma in patients diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) compared with healthy controls by using vascularity index (VI) through power Doppler (PD) and color superb microvascular imaging (cSMI) and to determine a threshold VI value to effectively differentiate patients with HT and hypothyroid HT.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study involved 73 patients diagnosed with HT and 66 healthy controls. The diagnosis of HT was established based on clinical and laboratory findings.

Background/aim: Immediate coronary angiography (CAG) is recommended for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, some occlusive myocardial infarctions (OMI) do not meet STEMI criteria. This study investigated whether additional ECG patterns beyond STEMI could more accurately identify OMI in OHCA patients, compared to using STEMI criteria alone.

Rationale: There is no universal objective measure of the effect of sedation on brain activity and how to differentiate it from sleep. In patients with early acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) we used the Odds Ratio Product (ORP), an electroencephalography (EEG)-based metric used to quantify the sleep-wake continuum. Despite patients behaviorally appearing asleep, we observed and quantified novel EEG patterns previously unobserved during natural sleep, and hypothesized these unnatural EEG patterns (EEG Ups ) reflect the effect of sedation.

Purpose: Polycystic liver disease is the most prevalent extrarenal manifestation of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Non-obstructive asymptomatic common bile duct (CBD) dilatation has been observed anecdotally on CT scans, but CT is not optimal for biliary visualization. Here, we measured CBD diameter on T2-weighted MRI in ADPKD subjects to determine if CBD dilatation is associated with ADPKD.

Resuscitative efforts (RE) for patients suffering cardiac arrest following trauma require significant prehospital (PH) and hospital resources. Patients who are transported and undergo immediate termination of resuscitative efforts (ITRE) and declared dead on arrival (DOA) may represent a population for whom improved triage can conserve hospital resources. We sought to identify PH variables associated with DOA/ITRE.
