Investigation of Femoropopliteal In Situ Valve Formation With the InterVene System
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the BlueLeaf System for the restoration of venous competence for the treatment of symptomatic chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
Effect of Low-load Resistance Training vs. High-intensity Interval Training on Local Muscle Endurance
Local muscle endurance (LME) is the ability of a muscle(s) to resist fatigue and is needed for daily activities of life such as climbing stairs, lifting/moving objects, and in sport contexts like rock climbing, mixed martial arts, cross-fit, kayaking and canoeing.
