Summary: This study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of cooling applications on fatigue recovery in elite male footballers. The results showed a significant decrease in countermovement jump performance after exposure to cryotherapy. However, no significant effects were observed for isometric adductor strength and hamstring flexibility.

Summary: This study develops a reliable wart treatment prediction system using a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA)-ensemble learning approach with a larger dataset. The results show that ensemble models yield better classification results on the combined balanced wart dataset than individual classifiers. The proposed prediction system can assist physicians to reliably select appropriate treatment methods for patients who have warts with high accuracy, which in turn will have a positive impact on clinical resources.

Summary: This comment discusses a network meta-analysis evaluating the ranking of treatments for actinic keratosis outside the head and neck. The limited and heterogeneous studies contrast with those in the head and neck area, raising uncertainty about generalizability to larger treatment fields or areas with extensive field cancerization.

Summary: The association between handgrip strength (HGS) and arterial stiffness parameters in individuals with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is not well defined. This study found that lower HGS is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases, and higher HGS asymmetry may be associated with greater vascular resistance.

Summary: Partial body cryotherapy is a medical treatment that stimulates the main part of the body surface using a physical factor. Currently, there is a lack of technical ability to personalize and predict this method. Increasing the number of parameters and reducing cooling intensity can improve the safety and effectiveness of cryoexposure.

Summary: Non-invasive imaging technology, such as reflectance confocal microscopy, has the potential to enhance the evaluation of actinic keratoses (AKs) and monitor treatment responses over time. Standardized RCM protocols may enable better comparison across clinical trials and early detection of relapses.

Summary: Multiple treatment modalities, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and cryotherapy, have been reported for Kaposi sarcoma (KS). A study found that combination therapy of cryotherapy and topical imiquimod can lead to complete resolution of cutaneous KS in a relatively short period of time.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the effects of cryotherapy on closed incisions. The results showed that cryotherapy can significantly reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption. However, it has no effect on hospital length of stay or surgical site infection rate.

Summary: This study found that different types of spontaneous vasodilation occur after ischemia. Depending on the shape and distribution of vasodilation, the severity of stroke injury and outcome can be predicted. The study also suggests that modulating the hemodynamic response to cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) may be a promising therapeutic strategy.

Summary: The study found that cooling induces relaxation in vascular smooth muscles and contraction in non-vascular smooth muscles, with responses inversely proportional to temperature. No relaxant or contractile substance was released from either type of smooth muscle during cooling.

Summary: This systematic review investigates the effect of cryotherapy on pain, swelling, postoperative opioid use, and range of motion after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The results show that cryotherapy can significantly decrease opioid use within the first postoperative week, and there is a consistent decrease in pain ratings. However, the impact on range of motion and swelling is inconsistent, and the clinical relevance of the decrease in pain ratings may be limited. Further research is needed to optimize cryotherapy modalities and analyze the cost of modern outpatient postoperative TKA protocols.

Summary: Blood parameters, especially red blood cells and platelets, showed significant differences in response to whole-body cryostimulation between obese and non-obese individuals. Additionally, levels of lymphocytes in white blood cells were also significantly different between the two groups.

Summary: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-small cell lung cancer. Traditional chemotherapy or radiotherapy often fail to achieve satisfactory results in PSC patients, while targeted therapy and immunotherapy may offer more precision and effectiveness. We present a case of stage III PSC with obstructive atelectasis, which posed challenges in treatment. Combination therapy with the PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab and transbronchial cryoablation showed significant clinical efficacy, providing a valuable reference for future clinical practice and research.

Summary: This study compared the short-term effects of cold air therapy and ice massage on pain and handgrip strength in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Both methods provided immediate and significant pain relief, but there was no significant improvement in handgrip strength after cryotherapy.

Summary: This study compared the effects of low, moderate, and high set volumes in acute full-body resistance exercise sessions on post-exercise parasympathetic reactivation. The results showed that all set volumes caused similar reductions in parasympathetic activity from pre-exercise levels, but the recovery back to baseline values differed between the sessions.

Summary: The Perceived Recovery Status (PRS) scale is a subjective marker of recovery that has been shown to be strongly associated with performance measures following resistance exercise. This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of PRS as a marker of recovery up to 72 hours after a high-volume back-squat protocol. The results demonstrated that PRS can effectively assess daily recovery following a fatiguing bout of resistance exercise, but caution should be exercised as the relationship is individualized.

Summary: This study compared the acute hemodynamic responses and muscular performance outcomes of traditional blood flow restriction (TRA(BFR)) with a novel band tissue flossing method (BTFBFR) following resistance exercise. The results showed that the BTFBFR method caused a greater decrease in arterial blood flow and resulted in reduced muscular power.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the agreement between body fat percentage estimates derived from a standardized ultrasound protocol (IASMS), a commonly used skinfold protocol (JP), and a criterion four-compartment model (4C). The results showed small nonsignificant mean differences between IASMS and JP compared to the 4C criterion, with strong correlations. These results suggest that both IASMS and JP protocols may be useful for clinicians.
