The athlete (33 y, 78kg, 154 cm) initiallly showed an REEratio of 0.65 to 0.70, which increased to 1.00 to 1.09 after 1year. The athlete lost 11.8kg, almost exclusively (11 kg) in the form of fat mass. The athlete reported reduced fatigue and higher perceived fitness.

The nutrition and exercise intervention successfully restored energy status, induced sustainable weight loss, and reduced fatigue in a wheelchair athlete with multiple sclerosis with presumed LEA. Methods to assess LEA in this population require further validation.

This study examined the impact of sleep inertia on physical, cognitive, and subjective performance immediately after a 1- or 2-hour afternoon nap opportunity.

Twelve well-trained male athletes completed 3 conditions in a randomized, counterbalanced order-9 hours in bed overnight without a nap opportunity the next day (9 + 0), 8 hours in bed overnight with a 1-hour nap opportunity the next day (8 + 1), and 7 hours in bed overnight with a 2-hour nap opportunity the next day (7 + 2). Nap opportunities ended at 400 PM. Sleep was assessed using polysomnography. Following each condition, participants completed four 30-minute test batteries beginning at 415, 445, 515, and 545 PM. Test batteries included a warm-up, self-ratings of readiness to perform, motivation to perform and expected performance, two 10-m sprints, 2 agility tests, a 90-second response-time task, and 5minutes of seated rest.

Total sleep time was not different between conditions (P = .920). There was an effect of condition on readiness (P < .001), motivation (P = .001), and expected performance (P = .004)-all 3 were lower in the 8 + 1 and 7 + 2 conditions compared with the 9 + 0 condition. There was no effect of condition on response time (P = .958), sprint time (P = .204), or agility (P = .240), but a large effect size was observed for agility.

After waking from a nap opportunity, agility may be reduced, and athletes may feel sleepy and not ready or motivated to perform. Athletes should schedule sufficient time (∼1h) after waking from a nap opportunity to avoid the effects of sleep inertia on performance.

Running programs are designed to progress training loads by manipulating the duration, frequency, and/or intensity of running sessions. While some studies use journals to monitor training load, others have used wearable technology. LL37 The purpose of this study was to compare the validity of self-reported and global positioning system (GPS)-watch-derived measures of external and internal loads in high school cross-country runners.

Twenty-two high school cross-country runners participated in the study during fall 2020. Participants recorded running sessions using a GPS watch and self-reported the running session using an electronic journal. External (distance and duration) and internal loads (session rating of perceived exertion [sRPE], average, and maximum heart rate) were retrieved from the GPS watch and electronic journal. Correlations compared relationships, and Bland-Altman plots compared agreements between GPS-watch-derived and self-reported measures of training loads.

We found moderate relationships b studies using different methods of monitoring training loads.This study aimed to analyze whether there are differences and associations in the physical responses in international-level cerebral palsy footballers between official matches and 2v2 small-sided games (2v2-SSG). One hundred seventy international cerebral palsy footballers participated in this study during three international championships. The physical responses of mean and maximum velocities, total distance, distance covered at different intensities, short-term actions, and player load were collected during 2v2-SSG and the real competition. The mean velocity, total distance, jogging, medium- and high-intensity distances, the number of moderate/high accelerations, decelerations, and player load were relatively higher in the 2v2-SSG than in the official matches. Even though the 2v2-SSG could become an appropriate drill to include during the classification process, due to the differences between a 2v2-SSG and the official competition, it is necessary to deepen the scientific knowledge for developing observation methods during real competition to strengthen the relationships between eligible impairments and activity limitation.
Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is an increasingly common cause of dysphagia in both children and adults, as well as one of the most prevalent oesophageal diseases with a significant impact on physical health and quality of life. We have provided a single comprehensive guideline for both paediatric and adult gastroenterologists on current best practice for the evaluation and management of EoE.

The Oesophageal Section of the British Society of Gastroenterology was commissioned by the Clinical Standards Service Committee to develop these guidelines. The Guideline Development Group included adult and paediatric gastroenterologists, surgeons, dietitians, allergists, pathologists and patient representatives. The Population, Intervention, Comparator and Outcomes process was used to generate questions for a systematic review of the evidence. Published evidence was reviewed and updated to June 2021. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system was used to assess the evidenprofessionals, including patient advocates and patient support groups, to help clinicians with the management patients with EoE and its complications.
Long-term prognosis of WHO grade II, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutated low-grade glioma (LGG) is poor due to high risks of recurrence and malignant transformation into high-grade glioma. Immunotherapy strategies are attractive given the relatively intact immune system of patients with LGG and the slow tumor growth rate. However, accumulation of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) in IDH-mutated gliomas leads to suppression of inflammatory pathways in the tumor microenvironment, thereby contributing to the 'cold' tumor phenotype. Inhibiting D-2HG production presents an opportunity to generate a robust antitumor response following tumor antigen vaccination and immune checkpoint blockade.

An IDH1
glioma model was created in syngeneic
-transgenic mice, allowing us to evaluate the vaccination with the human leukocyte antigens (HLA)-DR1-restricted, IDH1
mutation-derived neoepitope. The effects of an orally available inhibitor of mutant IDH1 and IDH2, AG-881, were evaluated as monotherapy both AG-881 and a PD-1 blocking antibody demonstrated improved survival when compared with either treatment alone.

The development of effective IDH1
-targeting vaccine may be enhanced by integration with HLA class I-restricted cytotoxic T cell epitopes and AG-881. Our
-syngeneic IDH1
glioma model should allow us to evaluate key translational questions related to the development of novel strategies for patients with IDH-mutant glioma.
The development of effective IDH1R132H-targeting vaccine may be enhanced by integration with HLA class I-restricted cytotoxic T cell epitopes and AG-881. Our HLA-A2/HLA-DR1-syngeneic IDH1R132H glioma model should allow us to evaluate key translational questions related to the development of novel strategies for patients with IDH-mutant glioma.
Cancer immunotherapeutic strategies showed unprecedented results in the clinic. However, many patients do not respond to immuno-oncological treatments due to the occurrence of a plethora of immunological obstacles, including tumor intrinsic mechanisms of resistance to cytotoxic T-cell (TC) attack. Thus, a deeper understanding of these mechanisms is needed to develop successful immunotherapies.

To identify novel genes that protect tumor cells from effective TC-mediated cytotoxicity, we performed a genetic screening in pancreatic cancer cells challenged with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and antigen-specific TCs.

The screening revealed 108 potential genes that protected tumor cells from TC attack. Among them, salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3) was one of the strongest hits identified in the screening. Both genetic and pharmacological inhibitions of SIK3 in tumor cells dramatically increased TC-mediated cytotoxicity in several in vitro coculture models, using different sources of tumor and TCs. Consistently, cular mechanism that protects tumor cells from cytotoxic TC attack and demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition of this pathway is feasible.

Most cytostatics used in cancer treatment are dosed on body surface area (BSA). To administer an appropriate dose it is therefore necessary to know the patient's correct body weight. However, evidence is lacking on how often, after initiation of treatment, body weight should be measured to recalculate BSA. We aimed to assess the relevance of weight measurements during chemotherapy treatment.

Over a 2 year period we analysed BSA changes in adult patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The frequency of and median time to ≥10% BSA change was determined. We assumed a 10% BSA change required dose adjustment and was therefore clinically relevant.

Using a database query, data from 2276 patients were used for descriptive statistics, life table analyses and generalised estimating equations. The frequency of ≥10% BSA change occurred in a maximum of 7.6% of the patients, depending on the tumour type. Descriptive statistics in the indications with more than 100 patients showed that BSA changes of ≥10% occurred after 84 days. The groups with the earliest BSA changes were patients with acute leukaemia, lymphoma and pancreatic cancer.

Our observations from real-world data indicate it is safe to omit the current requirement for monthly weight measurements. We advise that during chemotherapy, measuring the body weight in patients who have acute leukaemia, lymphoma or pancreatic cancer or who are under 20 years of age, should be performed at least every 3 months. For other patients, extending this period to a 6-monthly weight measurement should be considered.

They are particularly important for the pathogenicity of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), which is the preferred lipoprotein carrier of phosphocholine-containing OxPL in plasma. Indeed, elevated levels of OxPL-apoB, a parameter that almost entirely reflects the OxPL on Lp(a), are a potent risk factor for atherothrombotic diseases as well as calcific aortic valve stenosis. A substantial fraction of the OxPL on Lp(a) are covalently bound to the KIV10 domain of apo(a), and the strong lysine binding site (LBS) in this kringle is required for OxPL addition. Using apo(a) species lacking OxPL modification - by mutating the LBS - has allowed direct assessment of the role of apo(a) OxPL in Lp(a)-mediated pathogenesis. The OxPL on apo(a) account for numerous harmful effects of Lp(a) on monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and valve interstitial cells documented both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the mechanisms underlying these effects have begun to be unraveled by identifying the cellular receptors that respond to OxPL, the intracellular signaling pathways turned on by OxPL, and the changes in gene and protein expression evoked by OxPL.
