TL;DR: Under the optimal conditions for dystrophic muscle transfection (ultrasound + Definity), there was no associated increase in muscle damage, and ultrasound may provide a safe and effective method for enhancing gene transfer to dyStrophic muscles, thereby increasing the prospects for therapeutic application of naked DNA in muscular dystrophy patients.

Increased cardiovascular risk factors in breast cancer survivors identified by routine measurements of body composition, resting heart rate and arterial blood pressure
TL;DR: CS who had a higher BMI, a larger waist circumference and higher blood pressure levels, are probably at greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, various musculoskeletal problems as well as an increased risk for various forms of cancers including reoccurrence of previously treated cancer.
The impact treatment has on cardiovascular risks factors for breast cancer survivors.

TL;DR: Different treatment protocols are associated with an increase in negative body composition and blood pressure measurements in cancer survivors, which is important for the medical team to consider when directing the cancer survivors on healthy lifestyle choices post treatment.

Test-retest reliability of pressure pain threshold measurements of the upper limb and torso in young healthy women.
TL;DR: Although the PPT test-retest reliability is robust and consistent throughout the 4 days, there appears to be a similar overall decline in the magnitude of the absolute PPT response at each of the 8 locations, with a specific explanation for this greater overall sensitivity in PPTs at all 8 locations lacking.
