Summary: This study investigated the association between different blood pressure and arterial stiffness status with diabetes. The results showed that both hypertension and arterial stiffness were associated with diabetes. Additionally, arterial stiffness had a better predictive ability for diabetes than hypertension.

Summary: Arterial stiffness is a key marker of risk in hypertension, and can be measured at material or structural levels. Studies have shown that structural stiffness predicts outcomes, with elastic arteries being most sensitive to blood pressure and age. Stiffness is considered an index of vascular aging and affects brain, kidneys, and heart function. Reduction of stiffness through antihypertensive treatments and preventive drugs may have additional benefits beyond lowering blood pressure. Newer anti-inflammatory drugs also have effects on stiffness independent of blood pressure.

Summary: This study analyzed the association between arterial stiffness (AS) and all-cause mortality in COVID-19 patients, finding that AS and systolic blood pressure <120 mm Hg independently predicted in-hospital all-cause mortality after adjusting for other factors.

Summary: This paper studies arterial deformation under cuff pressure in cuff-based blood pressure measurement using a collapse model, revealing the effects of arterial stiffness on measured blood pressure. The results have implications for improving the accuracy of cuff-based BP measurement in the future.

Summary: There is a J-shaped association between API/AVI and PPA in viral infected patients, while a M-shaped relationship in the normal participants. API/AVI is better for identifying infected and uninfected patients, with a high specificity in identifying those in severe stages of the disease.

Summary: This study is the first to investigate the association between arterial stiffness index (ASI) and cannabis use. The results showed that in a middle-aged population, males with a history of heavy cannabis use and current cannabis users had higher ASI levels compared to females, who did not show this association.

Summary: This study examines the association of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) with the rate of progression of arterial stiffness based on long-term repeated measurements. Smoking, heavy alcohol intake, hypertension, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperuricemia were found to be independently associated with a fast progression of arterial stiffness, while lower values in certain biomarkers were associated with a slow progression. The findings highlight the importance of early interventions to control CVRFs in maintaining arterial health.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that arterial stiffness, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure are associated with incident hypertension. These findings are clinically important for the prevention of arterial hypertension and reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine whether a high daytime maximum blood pressure assessed by ambulatory BP monitoring constitutes a risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events, especially in those with increased arterial stiffness. The results showed that daytime maximum blood pressure posed a risk of stroke events, particularly for those with higher arterial stiffness.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effects of sarcopenia on pulse waveform and develop discriminating models for possible sarcopenia using noninvasive pulse measurements, frequency-domain analysis, and machine learning. The results showed significant differences in spectral indices of the blood pressure waveform between subjects with possible sarcopenia and robust individuals. The developed machine learning and scoring system exhibited excellent discrimination performance.

Summary: The study found that nocturnal systolic blood pressure variability was an important marker of cardiovascular event risk in hypertensive patients, independent of average 24-hour blood pressure and arterial stiffness. There was no significant association between blood pressure variability and arterial stiffness.

Summary: The combination of hypertension and elevated arterial stiffness (AS) is independently associated with a higher risk of clinical outcomes such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and death. Individuals with both hypertension and elevated AS have a much higher risk compared to those with ideal vascular function or hypertension with normal AS. Controlling both hypertension and AS may help reduce the risk of clinical events.

Summary: Consuming polyphenol-rich foods, juices and concentrates accelerated recovery of muscle function and reduced muscle soreness in humans. The maximal benefit occurred 48-72 hours post-exercise, with moderate to very low certainty of evidence. Supplementation could be beneficial when limited time between competitive events and impaired recovery could impact performance negatively.

Summary: The study found differential expression of TRIB2 and TLR9 genes in endometrial biopsies of healthy women and those experiencing recurrent implantation failure. Additionally, other genes (ICAM1, NFKBIA, VCAM1, LIF, VEGFB, TLR5) showed significantly altered expression levels between pre-receptive and receptive endometrial biopsies, indicating their involvement in endometrial receptivity. Further research may provide insights into the role of these genes in female reproductive tract biology and their potential as targets for infertility treatments or non-hormonal contraception.

Summary: Current food systems pose threats to both population and environmental health. Evidence suggests that reducing meat consumption and increasing plant-based food intake align with climate change and health promotion goals. To accelerate this transition, a better understanding of the factors influencing plant-based food choice is needed. A booming plant-based food industry has emerged to meet consumer demand and support the shift towards plant-based eating.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of oral and topical sodium bicarbonate on team sport-specific exercise tests. The results showed that oral sodium bicarbonate improved performance in repeated sprints and Yo-Yo IR2 test, while topical sodium bicarbonate only slightly improved the time of repeated sprints without significant benefits for Yo-Yo IR2 distance or blood acid-base balance.
