Effects of Complex Training on Jumping and Change of Direction Performance, and Post-Activation Performance Enhancement Response in Basketball Players.
Sports (Basel, Switzerland)2023n=24E46 influential citationsExercise order is one of the significant factors modulating training effects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of an 8-week complex (CPX) training program utilizing intra-CPX active recovery with compound…
Outcomes of perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump support in patients undergoing aortic valve surgery: A single-centre, retrospective, observational study
Heart & Lung2026n=193<h4>Background</h4>Patients undergoing aortic-valve surgery are prone to perioperative low-cardiac-output syndrome or progression to cardiogenic shock, which remains a challenging clinical problem.<h4>Objective</h4>This study aimed to…
Ambulatory femoral versus axillary intra-aortic balloon pump support as a bridge to advanced heart failure therapies: Insights from a single-center experience
Heart & Lung2026<h4>Background</h4>Ambulatory intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support is increasingly used to preserve mobility in patients with advanced heart failure awaiting heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device therapy. Axillary…
Intra- and inter-therapist reliability of lower-limb inter-joint coordination during gait in individuals with and without cerebral palsy
Gait & Posture2026n=19<h4>Purpose</h4>Inter-joint coordination plays a key role in walking, particularly in people with cerebral palsy (CP), who experience altered movement patterns. The Continuous Relative Phase (CRP) method quantifies lower-limb coordination…
Impella Protected Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Outcomes Compared With Intra-aortic Balloon Pump: A Contemporary View
The American Journal of Cardiology2026Traditional cardiovascular trials combine adverse events into composites, ignoring the clinical importance and weight of endpoints. The Win Ratio (WR) is a contemporary statistical technique overcoming these limitations. We aimed to…
The Effect of Carbohydrate Intake on Muscle Hypertrophy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Sports Med2026n=11Meta-Analysis<h4>Background</h4>High-carbohydrate diets are often recommended to enhance resistance training-induced muscle hypertrophy; however, the isolated effect of carbohydrate intake on muscle growth has not been systematically analyzed outside…
Distinct 3‐Dimensional Anatomic Patterns Including Flatter Surfaces and Greater Sagittal Inclinations of Intra‐articular Structures Are Reliably Identified Through an Artificial Intelligence‐Based Pipeline in Anterior Cruciate Ligament‐Injured Knees
Arthroscopy2026n=50Purpose To evaluate whether an automated AI‐based pipeline can identify 3‐dimensional (3D) anatomic patterns associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury from conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and accurately…
Intra-aortic balloon pump versus medical management for acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: a retrospective cohort analysis
Heart & Lung2026<h4>Background</h4>Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) carries the highest in-hospital mortality among acute coronary syndromes, with medical management and various adjunctive therapies employed to care…
Multicentre MRI-based machine learning model for noninvasive prediction of pulmonary metastasis in osteosarcoma integrating intra-tumoral heterogeneity features
European Journal of Radiology2026n=320<h4>Objectives</h4>To develop and externally validate a multicenter MRI-based machine learning model integrating intra-tumoral heterogeneity (ITH) index, conventional radiomics (C-radiomics) and clinical variables for predicting one-year…
Intra-procedural CT control versus ultrasound only in ultrasound-guided thermal ablation of colorectal liver metastases: a single-centre cohort study
Surgical Endoscopy2026n=137Background Local ablative treatment is increasingly used for small colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). Adequate ablative margins are essential for achieving local control, yet reported rates of local tumour progression (LTP) vary widely.…
