Intranasal Testing and Treatment for Staphylococcus aureus With Intravenous Vancomycin and Intranasal Povidone-iodine Prior to Posterior Spinal Fusion: A Retrospective Cohort Study... by Jason Malone, DO, Alex Lee-Norris, DO, Austin Wynn, MD, Kaitlin Maher, PA-C, John Lovejoy, III, MD, Ryan Illgenfritz, MD, Margaret Baldwin, MD, Adriana Cadilla, MD, Kathryn Farrell, MSN, Emily Craver, MS

“…Key Concepts: (1) The treatment of patients with povidine-iodine (PI) nasal decolonization in a pediatric spinal fusion cohort did not show a decrease in postoperative infections. (2) Elimination of intranasal testing and Staphylococcus aureus treatment in a pediatric spinal fusion cohort results in cost savings and reduces an unpleasant experience for the patient. (3) Increased surgical time during posterior spinal fusion in a pediatric cohort of patient did not lead to an increased rate of surgical site infection (SSI). (4) Across the cohort of pediatric patient undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF), the rate of infection for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients was 1.3% compared with 8.2% infection rate in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). …”

The physiological responses to volume-matched high-intensity functional training protocols with varied time domains by Jessica S. Smith, Jessica S. Smith, Gabriella F. Bellissimo, Gabriella F. Bellissimo, Fabiano T. Amorim

“…Conversely, there was no interaction effect for CK (p < 0.16), yet a significant increase was observed from pre- to post-exercise for both the EMOM and the RFT (p < 0.01).ConclusionThe RFT induced greater physiological stress than the EMOM, indicating that prescribed rest intervals significantly affect the metabolic, cardiovascular, and perceptual responses during high-intensity functional exercise. Furthermore, the RFT may provide a greater cardiorespiratory stimulus, while the EMOM may be more suitable for technique development and recovery in trained individuals.…”
