Summary: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is closely associated with cognitive impairment, which is a key feature of depression and highly prevalent in CHD patients. The study investigates the moderating role of depressive symptoms in the relation between reduced heart rate variability (HRV) and cognitive performance in patients with CHD. The findings suggest that depressive symptoms may strengthen the association between reduced HRV and poorer cognitive performance in cardiac patients, indicating dysfunction in the autonomic and cognitive function network. The importance of this study is rated as 9 out of 10.

Summary: This study found that frequency-domain HRV features derived from lower sampling rates are almost perfectly in agreement with features derived from higher sampling rates, and these features can predict cognitive fatigue. This has significant implications for designing low-cost wearables to monitor cognitive fatigue.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between neurocognitive parameters and heart rate variability (HRV) in nurses during acute stress situations. The findings show differences in cognitive performance and HRV parameters between nurses and non-nurses, highlighting the potential use of HRV markers in relation to cognitive performance and autonomic dysfunction.

Summary: Pupillary light reflex (PLR) and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters can serve as objective indicators of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) status. Adjusting among-individual variability can improve model fit when analyzing CRS-specific quality of life, leading to robust conclusions.

Summary: Comparing autonomic responses during bladder hydrodistention in patients with IC/BPS under general and spinal anesthesia, our study found that spinal anesthesia has advantages over general anesthesia in preventing an abrupt increase in systolic blood pressure and postoperative pain in IC/BPS patients. The findings show significantly greater Delta SBP, significantly lower heart rate variability, and significantly higher postoperative pain scores in the general anesthesia group compared to the spinal anesthesia group.

Summary: Talking on the phone while driving significantly increases cognitive workload and the risk of traffic accidents. This study investigated the effects of different types of phone conversations on physiological response and driving performance, and found that the content of the conversation determines the amount of cognitive load imposed on the driver.

Summary: This study analyzed the relationship between heart rate and cognitive performance in high air temperatures. The results showed that when the heart rate reached 90bpm, the speed and accuracy of certain cognitive tests declined significantly. When the heart rate reached 100bpm, the accuracy of other cognitive tests also decreased significantly. There was an inverted U-shaped relationship between heart rate and cognitive performance, and a HR-CP model was established.

Summary: The prognosis of myocarditis varies greatly, so it is crucial to identify new prognostic factors. The prognostic role of ultra-short heart-rate variability (HRV) in myocarditis is still unknown. In a retrospective study, clinical, laboratory, and HRV parameters were assessed as predictors of severe short-term complications in adult patients with clinically suspected myocarditis. It was found that RMSSD may be a prognostic indicator in myocarditis.

Summary: Increased heart rate fragmentation during sleep was found to be independently associated with diminished cognitive performance and greater cognitive decline, supporting the links between cardiac neuroautonomic regulation and cognitive function.

Summary: Breathing interventions have been shown to improve sport performance. However, methodological differences hinder a clear understanding of their effectiveness. Breathing frequency has different effects on motor performance under varying emotional conditions, potentially mediated by factors other than perceived arousal.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the impact of executing a lengthy cognitive task on the subsequent task, and how this impact is related to neurophysiological variations and subjective experience. The results indicate that prolonged performance on a 90-min Stroop task leads to an increase in subjective mental fatigue and a decrease in response inhibition-associated brain activity in both grey and white matter.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Mat Pilates training on well-controlled hypertensive and normotensive postmenopausal women, and it was found that both groups showed similar responses in ambulatory blood pressure, blood pressure variability, and heart rate variability.

Summary: This study focused on the clinical signs of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp, recording physiological and behavioral characteristics. The research revealed a correlation between virus quantity and shrimp physiological and behavioral features. Burrowing behavior may be a disease resistance strategy for shrimp, while reduced swimming ability and weakened behavior could be symptoms of severe infection.

Summary: The Acute Readiness Monitoring Scale (ARMS) is a simple psychometric measure of perceived readiness that shows sensitivity to acute sleep deprivation and can predict cognitive performance through reduced awakening responses in cortisol.
