Discussion The results of this research describe, for the first time, firefighting performance as a combination of operating speed (time to complete the circuit), physical strain and air depletion during a simulated firefighting exercise. Firefighting is a physically demanding occupation. Several authors...
First, firefighting includes long sedentary stretches followed by irregular heavy exertion [9]. Firefighters react immediately to alarms with significant increases in pulse rate [13, 14]. During fire suppression, they work at near maximal heart rates [13] while wearing about 50 pounds of protective...
First, in our myeloma case series analysis, we were not able to rigorously compare FDNY and national age-adjusted incidence rates due to small or zero counts in certain age strata. This is often a challenge in the study of rare cancers.31 Additionally, when MGUS was assessed by WTC arrival...

(1) First, the accelerometric data partitioning was used to directly extract the corresponding segments of the R-R time series by aligning the endpoints of the R-R epochs with those of the clusters of motion data. In this way it was possible (a) to determine all R-R time series epochs...
2.4. Data Analysis In the first stage of statistical analysis, the level of self-efficacy, the experienced stress, and burnout among firefighters were estimated. Subsequently, analyses were undertaken to answer the research questions: whether and to what extent self-efficacy moderates the relationship...
