Summary: This study aimed to assess electrocardiogram interpretation criteria in paediatric athletes and evaluate the cost of screening. The results showed a low count of abnormal findings in paediatric athletes, but the cost of screening was relatively high. Therefore, further longitudinal studies are necessary to elucidate the utility of including electrocardiograms in the screening of paediatric athletes.

Summary: Engaging in moderate regular exercise has many benefits, but intense exercise may lead to sudden cardiac arrest in individuals with arrhythmogenic substrates. Most deaths occur in middle-aged and older males, but a significant proportion also affect young athletes. The 12-lead ECG can be cost-effective for screening, but there is a risk of misinterpretation.

Summary: A hidden property evaluation model based on the PL3W-MADM method was developed to classify judgment debtors into three categories more effectively than the strict and flexible PL3W-MADM models. The model considers the expressions of evaluation information using probabilistic linguistic term sets and probabilities given by expert judges.

Summary: The study evaluated the ECG features of 886 pediatric athletes and compared the diagnostic performance of the 2017 International ECG recommendation, 2010 European Society of Cardiology recommendation, and 2013 Seattle criteria in detecting clinical conditions at risk of sudden cardiac death. The most common physiological ECG patterns in pediatric athletes were isolated left ventricular hypertrophy criteria. The International criteria showed improved ECG specificity but lower sensitivity compared to the Seattle and ESC criteria.

Summary: Movement screens are widely used to identify aberrant movement patterns. Motion capture data containing 3D motion capture data of 183 athletes performing mobility and stability tests have been collected. This dataset enables researchers to explore movement patterns, develop objective movement assessment tools, and understand the relationships between movement patterns and injury.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the utility of routine ECG and TTE in screening top endurance athletes, with training duration, hours of training per week, and age being closely linked to adaptive ECG changes and TTE abnormalities, but not to abnormal ECG changes. Male gender and training duration were found to be independent predictors of ECG and TTE findings.

Summary: This article explores the accuracy of coupled-cluster theory by examining the geometry of the coupled-cluster wave function manifold within the space of n-electron wave functions. The findings suggest that the coupled-cluster manifold, which is curved, is closer to the full-configuration interaction (FCI) wave function than the flat configuration interaction manifold. The study also provides insights into the failure of the coupled-cluster approach for multireference systems.

Summary: A multi-institutional retrospective cohort study shows that the Denver Criteria and Expanded Denver Criteria have a high rate of missing cases of blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI), while a liberal screening approach using CT angiography can more accurately identify potential BCVI patients without increasing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI).

Summary: This study prospectively enrolled all pregnant women who underwent OGTT according to Italian guidelines and delivered at the University Hospital from March 2020 to September 2021. The results showed that, according to the recommendations of the Italian Diabetes Association, some women were diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus based on the FPG value (>= 92 mg/dl), but still, one third were missed diagnosis.

Summary: This study sequenced 20 rhizosphere soil samples from three different blueberry varieties and compared them with bulk soil samples. Significant differences in alpha and beta diversity were found among the rhizosphere microbial communities of different blueberry varieties, with distinct taxonomical, functional, and phenotypic compositions. Core rhizosphere microbiota for blueberry were identified and their interactions were explored.

Summary: This study found that the combination of multiple ECG criteria, including V6-RWPT, aVL-RWPT, and V6-V1 interpeak interval, can better differentiate LBB capture from LVS capture. These criteria demonstrated better diagnostic performance than isolated measurements.

Summary: In this study, distance-dependent estimators for two-center and three-center electron repulsion integrals over a short-range Coulomb potential were derived and demonstrated to be robust on periodic systems. These estimators provide tightness and are used with integral screening for calculating periodic three-center short-range Coulomb integrals with linear scaling.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the ability and applicability of calf circumference, SARC-F, and SARC-CalF for screening sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults. The study found that calf circumference had higher sensitivity and specificity for sarcopenia screening compared to SARC-F and SARC-CalF, while SARC-F and SARC-CalF had high specificity but were susceptible to preceding factors.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the agreement on the definition, terminology, taxonomy, and imaging outcome measures of primary cam morphology. Through a Delphi exercise, an expert panel reached consensus on four key issues: the definition, terminology, taxonomy, and imaging outcomes of primary cam morphology. This consensus provides a strong foundation for better communication, clinical decision-making, and research in this field.

Summary: According to the study, the intensity rather than the volume of exercise is associated with the progression of coronary atherosclerosis in middle-aged and older male athletes. Vigorous intensity exercise is associated with less coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression, while very vigorous intensity exercise is associated with greater CAC and calcified plaque progression.

Summary: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and myocardial infarction with nonobstructed coronary arteries (MINOCA) are rare causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD). SCAD is not associated with coronary fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) in SCD victims, and compared to MINOCA, SCAD is more common in females, linked to pregnancy, and has a lower incidence of infarcted myocardium. SCAD victims also have a higher prevalence of premortem cardiac symptoms, while substance use or abuse is more common among MINOCA victims.

Summary: GEN+PHEN- individuals carry pathogenic genetic variants without phenotypic manifestation of the disease, which poses challenges in clinical management. The variable expressivity of genetic variants within the same family and the unpredictable conversion to overt phenotype complicate decision-making in sports participation. Current guidelines acknowledge the lack of evidence and uncertainties in managing GEN+PHEN- individuals.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a training camp with heat and/or hypoxia sessions on hematological and thermoregulatory adaptations. The results showed that blood and plasma volume increased following the camp. However, sleeping at altitude impeded the increase in hemoglobin mass and only marginally increased it when training in the heat.
