Summary: This study evaluated the effect of 12 weeks of intense aerobic exercise training on skeletal muscle angiogenesis in late pre- and recent postmenopausal women with <4 years of age difference. The training had a significant impact on capillary per fiber ratio, capillary density, and muscle VEGF protein content, with no difference observed between the two groups. The loss of estrogen at menopause did not influence the capillary growth response to intense aerobic training.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effect of different durations and intensities of aerobic exercise on vascular endothelial function in different populations. The findings suggest that continuous aerobic exercise, especially moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity exercise, can improve vascular endothelial function. The improvements in vascular endothelial function are more significant with longer duration, older age, higher BMI, and worse basal FMD.

Summary: The current research on the effects of acute aerobic exercise on cognitive function has primarily focused on the long-term effects, while giving less attention to cognitive changes during exercise. Effects on working memory and cognitive flexibility during exercise remain unclear, while effects on inhibition are more pronounced.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the vascular responses to moderate-intensity treadmill running in high PM2.5 (HPM2.5) and low PM2.5 (LPM2.5) conditions in healthy young males. The results showed that acute PM2.5 exposure can counteract the positive effect of aerobic exercise on vascular endothelial function in young males.

Summary: The study shows that both endurance training before menopause and estrogen replacement therapy during menopause produce similar beneficial effects on cardiac function in rats.

Summary: The study used physicochemical immunogenicity of donor/recipient HLAs to select weakly immunogenic kidney transplants for Black patients, leading to an increase in the number of suitable donors for Black recipients while still providing good options for non-Black recipients.

Summary: This study shows that a single session of aerobic exercise improves vascular function (FMD and PWV) in post-MI patients, while the effects of isometric exercise remain uncertain.

Summary: Endothelial function is reduced in postmenopausal women due to BH4 deficiency and oxidative stress, leading to reduced NO bioavailability. Acute intravenous VITC or oral BH4 supplementation can increase FMD, but cannot fully restore it. Co-administration of VITC and BH4 does not restore FMD in menopausal women, indicating the involvement of additional mechanisms.

Summary: The study found that high-intensity exercise training initiated soon after menopause can reduce thrombotic risk in postmenopausal females, while its effects on those who have been in postmenopause for a long time remain uncertain.

Summary: Aerobic fitness and engaging in aerobic exercise training may enhance low-flow-mediated constriction (L-FMC) responses. However, there are conflicting results and the impact of different physical behaviors on L-FMC is inconsistent.

Summary: In stable patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective non-pharmacological treatment. This study aimed to explore the effects of endurance exercise training on vascular function in these patients. The results showed that training promoted mechanisms of damage/repair in favor of repair, leading to potential improvements in hemodynamics and clinical response.

Summary: In African American older adults, higher levels of light physical activity (PA) predict better cognitive performance, while higher levels of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) do not have similar effects. Designing and promoting interventions focusing on light PA may be beneficial in improving cognitive functions among aging African Americans.

Summary: This study investigated the incidence rate of VTE in COVID-19 patients and identified risk factors such as the need for invasive mechanical ventilation and admission D-dimer level >= 1500 ng/mL. The all-cause mortality was higher in the VTE group compared to the non-VTE group. Future prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Abnormalities in pulmonary vascular volumes at the time of hospitalization for COVID-19 are independently associated with a low DLCO at follow-up, while there is no relationship between inflammatory biomarkers during hospitalization and DLCO levels. Pulmonary vascular abnormalities during hospitalization for COVID-19 may serve as a biomarker for abnormal gas transfer after COVID-19 pneumonia.

Summary: Firefighters are at a higher risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease due to the nature of their work, which exposes them to physical and emotional stress. Limited research has reported changes in blood pressure before and after firefighting activities, indicating a need for more studies on firefighters' blood pressure.
