Summary: The study found that giraffes walked further distances and had increased stress hormone levels in the presence of humans, but these effects decreased as the giraffes became habituated. Giraffes remained vigilant towards human observers, with no decrease in observation time as habituation increased.

Summary: Neuroticism is not significantly associated with cardiovascular reactivity or habituation, but is related to lower positive affect and higher negative affect across a repeated stress paradigm.

Summary: Traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease have been long emphasized in preventive strategies, while psychological factors such as family stress and depression are under-appreciated in clinical practice guidelines. This article reviews the impact of acute and chronic stress on cardiovascular disease risk and emphasizes the importance of stress reduction approaches. Innovative approaches are needed to tackle the challenges posed by cardiovascular disease and stress.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between instructed reappraisal and cardiovascular habituation, finding that reappraisal does not aid cardiovascular habituation to recurrent stress and does not lead to a challenge-oriented response in participants. Habitual use of reappraisal does not interact with reappraisal instructions to influence cardiovascular responses to stress.

Summary: The study aimed to determine whether exercise stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can help in the selection of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) for interatrial shunt device (IASD) placement. The study recruited 75 patients with exertional dyspnea and diastolic dysfunction, and conducted various tests including CMR imaging. The study found that latent pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) is associated with impaired right ventricular (RV) functional reserve, global diastolic filling, and left ventricular (LV) cardiac index (CI), which can be quantified by CMR imaging.

Summary: Understanding bone homeostasis and regeneration is of great clinical and scientific importance for the development of bone therapy. Macrophages play a crucial role in bone regeneration during healing. In situ hybridization and hybridization chain reaction can be used to explore gene expression in bone tissues.

Summary: Understanding the pivotal role of macrophages in inflammation and tissue regeneration post-injury is crucial. Recent advancements in macrophage biology studies have revealed distinctive features of in vivo macrophages, emphasizing the importance of precise characterization for developing new healing treatments. Improvements in in situ macrophage identification using antigen surface markers and cytokine secretion identification have led to specific patterns in macrophage characterization.

Summary: This study examined the influence of extraversion on physiological reactivity and habituation to stress. The results showed that extraversion was associated with larger blood pressure and heart rate reactivity, as well as greater habituation of blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate. These findings suggest an adaptive response pattern among highly extraverted individuals and potential positive health outcomes.

Summary: This study found that exercise-induced dehydration of 2% and 4% body mass negatively impacts endurance performance. Time-trial performance was impaired at different levels of dehydration, and repeated exposures to these dehydration levels did not reverse the performance impairment.

Summary: This study found that low cardiorespiratory fitness level is an independent risk predictor for major adverse cardiac events in middle-aged individuals without cardiovascular disease. The association of low fitness with a high burden of cardiometabolic risk factors highlights the importance of lifestyle intervention in this patient population.

Summary: There is a parallel between the pandemic of physical inactivity and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Regular physical activity and exercise can prevent and manage cardiovascular disease by improving metabolic health, reducing inflammation, and promoting cardiovascular adaptations. This review discusses the cardiovascular effects of physical activity and exercise, as well as the safe implementation in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Summary: The endothelium plays a crucial role in controlling vascular inflammation and function. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in endothelial cells negatively regulates vascular inflammation through the suppression of Wnt signaling. GR also affects fibrosis in various organs by modulating the fatty acid oxidation pathway.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of physical exercise on the psychological stress levels of obese women. The results showed that chronic physical exercise can alleviate psychological stress and reduce inflammation in the body. Furthermore, physical exercise can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. This study provides an explanation for the health benefits of exercise on cardiovascular disease.

Summary: Childhood maltreatment has been found to be associated with dysregulation of cardiovascular stress response and affects habituation to recurrent stress. This study showed that individuals with high childhood maltreatment experiences exhibited blunted cardiovascular reactivity to the first stress exposure and experienced habituation to repeated stress exposures. These findings suggest that the observed cardiovascular response habituation following initial blunted reactivity among individuals with high childhood maltreatment experiences might be maladaptive and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
