Summary: This review focuses on the pathophysiology of CRC-related pain and discusses current pain management strategies. Pain is a common symptom reported by CRC patients, but current methods do not always provide sufficient relief and may cause complications if used improperly. Future treatments should prioritize pain relief and reducing side effects. Recent pharmacological and non-pharmacological developments in CRC treatment are also covered in this article.

Summary: This study found no significant correlations between autonomic variables (heart rate and blood pressure) and pain processing or psychological variables in the chronic WAD group. However, a positive correlation was observed between diastolic blood pressure and cervical spine pressure pain threshold in the control group.

Summary: CF-LVAD implantation in patients with advanced heart failure results in modest improvements in autonomic tone, but persistent reductions in cardiac baroreceptor sensitivity. Exercise-induced increases in blood pressure are blunted post-LVAD implantation.

Summary: A systematic search and meta-analysis found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has almost no significant effects on biological and body composition variables in patients with musculoskeletal disorders (MSKD), except for resting heart rate.

Summary: This study found a good convergent association between S-LANSS and PainDETECT in women with FMS. Additionally, S-LANSS was associated with PPTs whereas PainDETECT was associated with pain intensity and CSI, suggesting that both questionnaires assess different spectrums of the neuropathic and pain sensitization components of the condition and hence provide synergistic information.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship among catastrophizing, pain, and cardiovascular variables in athletes using a painful cold-pressor test. The results showed that athletes with catastrophizing thoughts were more likely to experience higher levels of pain and a greater cardiovascular response during a painful stimulus. The change in cardiovascular variables may serve as a potential objective measure of pain in athletes.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the cardiovascular protective role of irisin in the general population. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on a large sample, and the results showed that irisin was associated with factors such as heart rate, blood pressure, body mass index, and lifestyle. These findings suggest that irisin plays a protective role in maintaining cardiometabolic health.

Summary: This study found that there is no significant association between chronic coffee consumption and blood pressure changes, particularly when assessed through 24-hour ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring. However, consuming coffee during the day can cause a slight increase in blood pressure, which disappears at night.

Summary: This paper outlines and discusses advanced flexible wearable sensors for monitoring cardiovascular vital signals, highlighting functional materials, configurations, mechanisms, and recent advances, as well as discussing challenges, possible strategies, and future directions. With rapid development, these flexible wearable sensors have the potential to be applied for both medical diagnosis and daily healthcare use in addressing cardiovascular diseases.

Summary: This study explores the impact of heart rate on the stability and accuracy of blood pressure measurement in atrial fibrillation patients. It finds that in patients with atrial fibrillation, a high heart rate leads to lower stability and underestimation of blood pressure. The study identifies the optimal heart rate range of 60-100 bpm for accurate blood pressure measurement in atrial fibrillation patients.

Summary: Negative emotionality is marginally associated with CA-IMT and lower blood pressure reactivity, while heightened blood pressure reactivity is related to greater CA-IMT. Positive emotionality is not correlated with cardiovascular reactivity or CA-IMT.

Summary: In this study, we investigated how various cardiorespiratory parameters respond to acute mental stress by utilizing multi-modal physiological signals and wearable-based sensing platforms. The results showed that the cross-integration of these signals can provide effective signatures to elucidate the collective physiological changes during acute mental stress. This work demonstrates the proof-of-concept of tracking acute mental stress through physiology-inspired signatures derived from multi-modal physiological signals, paving the way for future research in quantifying stress responses in real-world settings.

Summary: High-level spinal cord injury causes sympathetic dysfunction, autonomic dysreflexia, and chronic immune suppression involving splenic leukopenia. Treatment with gabapentin or TNF-α blockade mitigates the underlying dysfunction and immune dysfunction. This study aims to examine changes in proinflammatory and immunomodulatory cytokines to determine the reason.
