Is the Hip Keeping the Ankle Out of Work after Total Ankle Arthroplasty? by Frank DiLiberto PT, PhD, Maxine Olson MS, Finola Summerville, Stacey Meardon PhD, PT, Anand Vora MD

“…Of note, postoperative ankle energy production (i.e. power, work) during gait is also deficient and related to lower gait speed and physical function scores. These findings raise questions regarding if people after TAA have the capacity to generate greater ankle energy or rely on proximal joint (e.g. hip) energy during walking and more challenging daily functional tasks. …”

Restoration of Intestinal Propulsion in Patients with Severe Acute Pancreatitis in the Conditions of the Resuscitation and Intensive Care Unit by V. V. Kiselev, S. S. Petrikov, M. S. Zhigalova, S. V. Novikov, N. V. Shavrina, P. A. Yartsev

“…While in the comparison group, peristalsis was determined in 37.5% of patients in 4.4±2.3 days, in 30% of patients in 6.2±1.1 days, in 27.5% in 8.1±3.6 days, in 5% of patients in 10.4±2.2 days and in 6.7% of patients it was not possible to restore effective peristalsis.CONCLUSION Enteral solution in the treatment regimen for patients with a diagnosis of “Acute severe pancreatitis” contributed to a more rapid recovery of the effective motor-evacuation function of the intestine and made it possible to reduce the number of purulent-septic complications 1.4-fold, cases of multiple organ failure 1.7-fold, and mortality 1.6-fold.…”

V˙O2 linear-onset kinetics spanning steady- and non-steady-state exercise by Robert Robergs, Robert Robergs, Robert Robergs, Bridgette O’Malley, Bridgette O’Malley, Anais Dewilde, Shaun D’Auria, Ales Krouzecky

“…IntroductionThe traditional method for quantifying the kinetics of the increase in the body’s consumption of oxygen (V˙O2) during exercise transitions to steady state involves application of a mono-exponential function. Anomalies exist to question the validity of this method, as they show the initial (∼1 min) of this V˙O2 response is linear.MethodsFourteen highly endurance trained subjects (12 males, 2 females) completed a ramp incremental cycling protocol, as well as 8 different constant load trials at 43 to 148 % of their critical power (CP).ResultsFor the initial five exercise bouts, the linear fit of the initial segment was significantly more accurate (lower standard error of estimates; SE) compared to the mono-exponential fit (p &lt; 0.001). …”
