Summary: This study found that cardiac autonomic function can be used to differentiate between unipolar depression, bipolar depression, and bipolar mania patients. Patients with bipolar depression had a greater extent of cardiac imbalance compared to those with unipolar depression. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for cardiac variables can be used for the diagnosis of different mental disorders.

Summary: A novel cardiovascular stress biomarker called galectin-3 shows potential for predicting adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This study aimed to assess the association between serum galectin-3 levels and aortic stiffness in peritoneal dialysis patients. The results demonstrated that serum galectin-3 levels were independently associated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and aortic stiffness in peritoneal dialysis patients, along with gender and age.

Summary: This study assessed pulse wave velocity (PWV) in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a marker for cardiovascular risk. The study found that some patients had vascular dysfunction and cardiac disease, with elevated PWV being an important parameter for identifying children with CKD and high cardiovascular risk.

Summary: According to this study, alterations in heart rate variability (HRV) are associated with arterial aging. Lower sympathetic and parasympathetic activity in women are significantly associated with arterial stiffening, while there is no significant association in men.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of low-frequency lower-body vibration on post-exercise changes in heart rate variability and peripheral arterial tone. The results showed that 15 Hz vibration reduced cardiac sympathetic nerve activity more effectively compared to 5 Hz vibration, indicating a potential method to accelerate cardiovascular autonomic recovery after exercise.

Summary: This study used machine learning to estimate participants' age based on autonomic cardiovascular indices. The Gaussian process regression model was found to be the most suitable, with a correlation of r=0.81 and a mean absolute error of MAE=5.6 years. The estimated age for obese participants was significantly higher compared to normal-weight controls, indicating advanced cardiovascular aging by 5.7 years.

Summary: This study assessed the survival experience of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in Mexico and found that older age at PD initiation and the use of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis were associated with an increased risk of mortality. This highlights the need to optimize treatment strategies to enhance long-term prognosis for patients with end-stage kidney disease.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of long-term recreational swimming training on cardiac autonomic responses in healthy individuals. Habitual swimmers showed significant improvements in heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity compared to sedentary adults. These findings suggest that habitual recreational swimming may have a protective effect against cardiovascular events and positively impact cardiovascular health.

Summary: Pulmonary infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients, with fungal infections, bacterial infections, and patients requiring mechanical ventilation having higher mortality rates. Infections often occur in the first year post-transplantation and beyond 5 years, with some cases requiring computed tomography imaging for diagnosis.

Summary: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the main cause of renal involvement in diabetic patients, but non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD) can be missed without biopsy. This study found that over half of diabetic patients undergoing kidney biopsy had NDKD, with membranous nephropathy, IgA nephropathy, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis being the main pathologies identified. Female gender, absence of diabetic retinopathy, absence of hypertension, and duration of diabetes <= 24 months were independent predictors for NDKD.

Summary: The most common cause of mortality in chronic kidney disease patients is cardiovascular events. Renal transplantation (RT) has been shown to improve cardiovascular function, including heart rate variability (HRV) and blood pressure variability (BPV), with positive effects on decreasing BPV and improving baroreflex sensitivity.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases are a significant cause of mortality in ESRD patients, with increased arterial stiffness and autonomic dysfunction contributing to the excess cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to assess noninvasively the vascular function in ESRD patients before and after renal transplantation, showing significant improvement in BRS at three months posttransplant. There was a negative correlation between changes in PWV and baseline PWV, but no correlation was observed between changes in PWV and BRS postrenal transplant.
