Identification of anaerobic threshold using heart rate response during dynamic ...

The objective of the present study was to characterize the heart rate (HR) patterns of healthy males using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model over a power range assumed to correspond to the anaerobic threshold (AT) during discontinuous dynamic exercise tests (DDET). Nine young (22.3 ± 1.57 years) and 9 middle-aged (MA) volunteers (43.2 ± 3.53 years) performed three DDET on a cycle ergome...

Essential thrombocythemia. Therapy with interferon alfa.

A clinical case of essential thrombocythaemia is presented to demonstrate good therapeutic response to subcutaneous Alpha-2b Interferon in a dosage of 3 x 10(6) units, three times a week. Based on this case and on a literature research we propose that Alpha-2b Interferon is a legitimate alternative to alkylating agents or radioactive phosphorus (32P), showing identical efficacy and less Leukemogen effect. ; A ...
