Exercise Capacity and Pulmonary Function in Pediatric Patients With Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection Post‐Surgical Repair: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (APVC), including total (TAPVC) and partial (PAPVC) forms, is a congenital heart defect with abnormal pulmonary vein drainage; and while surgical repair has improved survival, its long‐term impact on cardiopulmonary function remains unclear.

Considerations of race and ethnicity within rehabilitation studies for post COVID‐19 condition: A scoping review

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Post COVID‐19 condition (PCC) or long COVID disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minority communities. There are a growing number of rehabilitation studies for PCC, however, it has yet to be determined whether existing studies take race and ethnicity into account in their study designs and whether existing rehabilitative approaches are
