Set configuration influences cardiovascular responses to resistance exercise in postmenopausal females in a randomized crossover trial from the CARE project
This study evaluated the acute cardiovascular responses to resistance exercise (RE) sessions with different set configurations in normotensive and hypertensive postmenopausal females. 50 physically active postmenopausal females performed a control (CON) and three RE sessions matched for total volume (144 repetitions), load (12-repetition maximum load), and total rest time (360s) but differing in set configuration:… →

Deciphering differential biomarkers for anti-interleukin-6 receptor and anti-tumour necrosis factor-α treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis by multiomics analysis
CONCLUSION: The unbiased analysis of serum proteins identified biomarkers most predictive of anti-IL-6R and anti-TNF-α at different timepoints that could explain the difference in the response rate in patients with RA. Further, both biomarker and pathway results highlighted a differentiated mode of action of both treatments. →

Within-Trial Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of a Family-Based Structured Lifestyle Modification Intervention Program for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: Results from the PROLIFIC Trial
CONCLUSIONS: A family-based structured lifestyle modification program yields a net gain in quality of life and is cost-effective at a three times gross domestic product per capita threshold. The intervention is expected to be relatively more cost-effective when scaled up to larger populations over longer time horizons. The intervention has the potential for a substantial… →
