This ICU Management & Practice article proposes "An overview of the key obstacles for the enforcement of nutritional guidelines and innovative approaches that can be used to overcome these obstacles."
Authors outlines that one of the main pitfalls is the common use of predictive equations for targeting energy prescription. The equations have been demonstrated by many to be inaccurate in...
This research evaluates the performance of the COSMED® Q-NRG Max metabolic system that measures key parameters like oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), and energy expenditure. The study compared the system’s results with the Douglas bag method, the gold standard in metabolic testing, and found that the Q-NRG Max provides highly accurate measurements with minimal...
Many variables obtained during cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), including O2 uptake (VO2) versus heart rate (HR, O2-pulse) and work rate (VO2/Watt), provide quantitative patterns of responses to exercise when left ventricular dysfunction is an effect of myocardial ischemia (MI). Therefore, CPET offers a unique approach to evaluate exercise-induced MI in the presence of fixed or dynamic...
The Tokyo Olympic games were the only games postponed for a year in peacetime, which will be remembered as the COVID-19 Olympics. No data are currently available on the effect on athlete’s performance.
The aim of this study is to examine the Italian Olympic athletes who have undergone the return to play (RTP) protocol after COVID-19 and their Olympic results.

Although cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the gold standard to assess exercise capacity, simpler tests (i.e., 6-min walk test, 6MWT) are also commonly used. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between cardiorespiratory parameters during CPET and 6MWT in a large, multicentre, heterogeneous population.
The investigation included athletes, healthy subjects, and...
