Validity of smartwatch-derived estimates of lactate threshold heart rate and pace compared to graded exercise testing by Changda Lu, Wei Cui, Zheng Zhu, Yiwei Wu, Qingjun Xing, Bingyu Pan, Bingyu Pan, Yanfei Shen, Yanfei Shen

“…Traditional methods like maximal lactate steady state and graded exercise testing are valid but invasive and costly. Advances in smartwatch technology offer a non-invasive alternative for monitoring LT, though their measurement protocols and outcomes have been less validated.MethodsThis study evaluates the validity of three mainstream smartwatches (Huawei GT Runner®, Garmin Forerunner 265® or 265s®, and Coros Pace3®) in estimating lactate threshold heart rate (LT HR) and pace (LT Pace), comparing these to measurement protocols and results from the modified Dmax method in laboratory standards. …”

Microbiological spectrum of pathogens in cardiac surgery patients in the intensive care unit by К.П. Чиж, Т.А. Малишева, А.П. Мазур

“…The presence of hospital-acquired flora in patients prolongs their stay in the ICU, increases the duration of antibiotic therapy, and treatment costs. The occurrence of such an infection is the result of a complex interaction of pathogenic (virulence, antibiotic resistance), patients’ (comorbidities, acute illnesses, emergency surgery), and treatment factors (invasive devices), and the work of the health care system (staffing, preventive measures). …”
