Factors Affecting Surgical Outcomes Following Rotationplasty in Paediatric Sarcoma: A Literature Review

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Rotationplasty is a durable limb‐salvage option for paediatric lower‐limb sarcoma. Across 58 studies and 1,217 patients, long‐term functional, psychosocial, and quality‐of‐life outcomes were favourable, often surpassing amputation and endoprosthetic reconstruction.

Advanced glycation end-products, measured as skin autofluorescence, associate with vascular stiffness in diabetic, pre-diabetic and normoglycemic individuals: a cross-sectional study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2021
Background Advanced glycation end-products are proteins that become glycated after contact with sugars and are implicated in endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffening.

WTAP‐mediated m6A RNA methylation promotes diabetic foot ulcer healing under negative pressure wound therapy

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
NPWT significantly increases the suppressed WTAP and m6A levels in DFU patients, correlating directly with better 4‐week healing outcomes. In vitro, negative pressure reverses high‐glucose‐induced WTAP downregulation, restoring the cell proliferation and migration necessary for wound repair.

Ankle brachial pressure index in normal, healthy, younger adults

, 2013
Doppler ultrasound and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) calculations are used in the assessment of lower limb vascularity, specifically to determine arterial deficiency. ABPI is important as it is used as an indicator when deciding management options

Ankle-brachial index in HIV infection

AIDS Research and Therapy, 2009
Prognosis for patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has improved with the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Evidence over recent years suggests that the incidence of cardiovascular disease is increasing in HIV ...

Impaired Windkessel function and proximal aortic stiffness: Linking vascular ageing to cognitive decline

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

Validity and reliability of the ankle-brachial index by oscillometric blood pressure and automated ankle-brachial index

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2017
Background: This study was conducted to assess the validity and reliability of ankle-brachial index (ABI) by oscillometric blood pressure (BP) measurement as compared with an automated ABI as a gold standard.

Vascular, inflammatory and perceptual responses to hot water immersion: Impacts of water depth and temperature in young healthy adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Repeated hot water immersion can improve cardiovascular health; however, the respective effects of distinct immersion protocols remain unclear. Twenty‐two healthy adults completed three 30‐min hot water immersion bouts of different water temperatures and immersion depths (40°C shoulder‐deep immersion, 40‐Shoulder; 42°C waist‐deep immersion, 42‐

Preliminary study to investigate the normal range of Ankle Brachial Pressure Index in young adults

, 2007
Aim. The aim of this study was to find the normal range of Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) for healthy adults in the 20–40-year age group. The hypothesis was: there is no difference between the accepted normal value of ABPI (1•00) and the observed ...

Eight weeks of post‐exercise local heating does not improve cognition and plasma brain‐derived neurotrophic factor concentrations

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise and heat stress have been reported to independently provide benefits to brain health. We tested the hypothesis that 8 weeks of post‐exercise local heating, passive local heating only, or exercise training only improves cognitive performance compared to a control group.
