Given the low dose rate and cumulative levels of radiation measured, the results support that an outpatient Lu-177 octreotate treatment protocol would not jeopardize public safety. Nevertheless, the concept of ALARA still requires that detailed radiation safety protocols be developed for Lu-177 octreotate outpatients to minimize radiation exposure to family members, caregivers, and the general public.
Injuries that occurred on Sunday were classified as last day of the week, while injuries that occurred any other day were classified as middle of the week. Averages of all healthy athletes' data were compared to the injured athlete's data every week injury was recorded, with higher differences found in the middle of the week versus the end of the week.
As wearable technology (WT) has evolved, devices have developed the ability to track a range of physiological variables. These include maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) and lactate threshold (LT). With WT quickly growing in popularity, independent evaluation of these devices is important to determine the appropriate use-cases for the devices. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the validity of WT in producing estimates of VO2max and LT in athletic populations. METHODS: 21 participants completed laboratory LT and VO2max testing, as well as an outdoor testing session guided by the WT being tested (Garmin fēnix 6® watch and accompanying heart rate monitor). Statistical analysis was completed, using hypothesis testing (ANOVA, t-test), correlation analysis (Pearson’s r, Lin’s Concordance Correlation [CCC]), error analysis (mean absolute percentage error [MAPE]), equivalence testing (TOST test), and bias assessment (Bland–Altman analysis). RESULTS: The Garmin watch was found to have acceptable agreement for VO2max when compared to the 1 min averaged values (MAPE = 6.85%, CCC = 0.7) and for LT and the onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA), (MAPE = 7.52%, CCC = 0.79; MAPE = 8.20%, CCC = 0.74, respectively). Therefore, the Garmin fēnix 6® produces accurate measurements of VO2max and LT in athletic populations and can be used to make training decisions among athletes.
To our knowledge, no published systematic review has described the effects of mindful walking on mental and cardiovascular health. We have aimed to fill this gap by first establishing our systematic review protocol. Our protocol was adapted from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and is registered in PROSPERO (Registration Number: CRD42021241180). The protocol is described step-by-step in this paper, which we wrote to achieve three objectives: to adhere to the best practices stated in the PRISMA guidelines, to ensure procedural transparency, and to enable readers to co-opt our protocol for future systematic reviews on mindful walking and related topics. To achieve our third objective, we provide and explain a novel tool we created to track the sources we will find and screen for our review. Ultimately, the protocol and novel tool will lead to the first published systematic review about mindful walking and will also facilitate future systematic reviews.
RESULTS: At baseline, there were no significant differences among groups for DI o [median values ranged from 1.97 (3.00) mM -1 for LM to 2.48 (3.14) mM -1 for HV]. After 6 months of exercise training, only the CL group significantly improved DI o [0.71 (0.28-1.15) mM -1 ;p=0.002]. Within-group changes for the exercise-only groups were 0.10 (-0.68-0.87) mM -1 for LM; -0.19 (-0.73-0.34) mM -1 for HM; and -0.41 (-0.83-0.02) mM -1 for HV. The Kruskal-Wallis test revealed changes in DI o were significantly better for the CL group compared to both high amount groups. CONCLUSIONS: For adults with prediabetes, combining a dietary intervention and weight loss with aerobic exercise improves DI o . Compared to findings from previous STRRIDE studies, improving β-cell function appears to be more challenging with aerobic exercise alone for those with a glycemic status closer to type 2 diabetes.
