 Lower limb reconstruction is a well-recognized challenge to the trauma or plastic surgeon. Although techniques and outcomes in the adult population are well documented, they are less so in the pediatric population. Here, we present our experience in the management of posttraumatic foot and ankle defects with free tissue transfer in children.

 We performed a retrospective analysis of 40 pediatric patients between the ages of 3 and 16 from 2008 to 2016 who underwent foot and ankle soft tissue reconstruction. Any patient who underwent reconstruction for any reason other than trauma was excluded. Data were collected on operative time, free tissue transfer type, use of vein grafts, length of hospital stay, and postoperative morbidity. Also, a comprehensive systematic literature review was completed according to the PRISMA protocol for all previous reports of foot and ankle reconstruction in the young age group with free tissue transfer.

 Of our 40 patients, 23 were males and 12 females, free tissue transfer and ankle. The lack of underlying vascular disease in this patient group allows for low complication rates. Our study evidences the safety and positive long-term outcomes of free tissue transfer for the reconstruction of huge sized-soft tissue defects of the foot and ankle in children.The aim of this study was to validate the measurements of the beat intervals taken at rest by the Omegawave® device by comparing them to an ambulatory electrocardiogram system. For this purpose, the electrocardiogram was digitally processed, time-aligned, and scrutinized for its suitable use as gold-standard. Rest measurements were made for 10 minutes on 5 different days to 10 men and 3 women (24.8±5.05 years; 71.82±11.02 kg; 174.35±9.13 cm). RR intervals were simultaneously recorded using the Omegawave device and a Holter electrocardiogram. The processing of Holter electrocardiogram signals included the detrending of baseline noise and a high-pass filtering for emphasizing the QRS complexes and attenuating the T waves. After obtaining the RR intervals from the electrocardiogram, those from the Omegawave device were automatically aligned to them with cross-correlation digital processing techniques and compared to check whether both measurements could be considered superimposable. A Bland-Altman analysis was applied to the 5 measurements made for all subjects. The Omegawave device exhibited very strong agreement with a quality-controlled Holter electrocardiogram. Deviations not exceeding 25 ms could be expected in 95% of the cases, which is within manageable ranges both for clinical practice and for sports.Eight well-trained male cyclists participated in two testing sessions each including two sets of 10 cycle exercise bouts at 150% of maximal aerobic power. In the first session, subjects performed the exercise bouts with end-expiratory breath holding (EEBH) of maximal duration. Each exercise bout started at the onset of EEBH and ended at its release (mean duration 9.6±0.9 s; range 8.6-11.1 s). At the second testing session, subjects performed the exercise bouts (same duration as in the first session) with normal breathing. Heart rate, left ventricular stroke volume (LVSV), and cardiac output were continuously measured through bio-impedancemetry. Data were analysed for the 4 s preceding and following the end of each exercise bout. LVSV (peak values 163±33 vs. 124±17 mL, p less then 0.01) was higher and heart rate lower both in the end phase and in the early recovery of the exercise bouts with EEBH as compared with exercise with normal breathing. Cardiac output was generally not different between exercise conditions. This study showed that performing maximal EEBH during high-intensity exercise led to a large increase in LVSV. This phenomenon is likely explained by greater left ventricular filling as a result of an augmented filling time and decreased right ventricular volume at peak EEBH.The assessment of parasympathetic nervous activity and psychophysiological responses infers the stress imposed by different resistance training systems. Therefore, we compare the effects of different sets configurations, with similar volume (~60 repetitions), on heart rate variability indices and internal training load. Twenty-nine resistance-trained adults completed the following conditions traditional without and with muscle failure, inter-repetition rest, and rest-pause in the parallel squat. The heart rate variability indices (time-domain) were measured before and 30 min after each condition. The internal training load was obtained through the session-rating of perceived exertion method. Except for inter-repetition rest, all conditions reduced the heart rate variability indices after the session (P less then 0.05), and the rest-pause triggered the higher reductions (≤-46.7%). The internal training load was higher in the rest-pause (≤68.9%). Our results suggest that rest-pause configuration leads to more considerable disruption of the parasympathetic nervous activity and higher internal training load in trained adults. In contrast, inter-repetition rest allows lower autonomic and psychophysiological stress.The objective of the present study was to determine the validity of Carminatti's shuttle run incremental test-T-Car derived parameters in estimating the maximal lactate steady state determined in shuttle run format. Eighteen soccer players performed a T-Car test, and several trials to determine the maximal lactate steady state. From T-Car were derived the heart rate deflection point, peak speed, maximal heart rate and parameters resulting from percentage of peak measures. The validity was accessed by Bland-Altman plots, linear regressions, and two one-sided tests of equivalence analysis. The results showed the speed at 80.4% of T-Car peak speed, the heart rate deflection point and the 91.4% of maximal heart rate were equivalent to maximal lactate steady state (Mean difference; ±90% compatibility interval; -0.8; ±1.5%, -0.4; ±1.1%, and 0.0; ±2.7%, respectively). Additionally, peak speed during the T-Car test was a stronger predictor of maximal lactate steady state (MLSS [km/h]=2.57+0.65 × sPeak; r=0.82 [90% CI; 0.
