Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: To summarize evidence regarding exercise treatments for lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Recent Findings: Supervised walking exercise is recommended by practice guidelines for PAD. Supervised treadmill exercise improves treadmill walking distance by approximately 180 m and 6-min walk distance by 30-35 m, compared to control. The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services covers 12 weeks of supervised exercise, but most people with PAD do not participate. Home-based walking exercise may be more convenient and accessible than supervised exercise. In randomized clinical trials, home-based walking exercise interventions incorporating behavioral methods, such as accountability to a coach, goal-setting, and self-monitoring, improved 6-min walk distance by 40-54 m, compared to control. Arm and leg ergometry also improved walking endurance for people with PAD, but efficacy compared to walking exercise remains unclear. Walking exercise is first-line therapy for PAD-related walking impairment and can be effective in either a supervised or a structured home-based setting.

The Analgesic Efficacy of Liposomal Bupivacaine in Adductor Canal Block Following Knee Arthroplasty: A Single-Center, Prospective, Randomized and Controlled Clinical Trial.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine with that of traditional ropivacaine in adductor canal blocks for patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.
Patients And Methods: A total of 119 consenting participants, who were scheduled for elective knee arthroplasty (including total knee replacement and unicompartmental knee replacement) under general anesthesia, were randomly assigned to either receive an ultrasound-guided adductor canal block with ropivacaine or liposomal bupivacaine. The primary endpoint of this study was the pain scores at 2, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-surgery.

In many developed countries, a rapidly aging population has increased healthcare demands and the proportion of older nurses in the workforce. This demographic shift requires nursing managers to have a deeper understanding of the physical demands on staff nurses, particularly older ones. In this paper, we aim to provide valuable insights for developing evidence-based strategies to improve work environments in hospital wards.

School of Medical and Health Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, WA 6027, Australia.
Introduction: Submarine environments pose unique challenges to maintaining physical activity and exercise routines due to confined spaces, demanding schedules, and limited resources. This study investigated submariners' physical activity patterns, sleep quality, and perceived exercise barriers in both land- and sea-based settings, with the goal of informing targeted health interventions.
Materials And Methods: Ethics approval was granted by the Defence Science and Technology Group and Edith Cowan University review panels.
