Summary: The study found that in patients with shock, both oscillometric blood pressure monitoring devices were successful in completing hemodynamic assessments, but there were significant differences between invasive and non-invasive techniques. There were discrepancies in pulse wave velocity measurements between the two devices. Non-invasive peripheral blood pressure measurement may not always be successful in certain circumstances.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical significance of new non-invasive vascular indices through repeated measurements. The results showed that while diastolic blood pressure and arterial velocity pulse index did not significantly change, systolic blood pressure and arterial pressure volume index decreased significantly according to the measurement orders. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the changes in systolic blood pressure and arterial pressure volume index.

Summary: Early detection of complications of childhood obesity is crucial. This study assessed the reliability of pulse wave analysis (PWA) in obese children and the impact of additional risk factors on evaluated parameters. The findings showed that obese children with specific cardiometabolic risk factors have increased arterial stiffness and higher blood pressure values.

Summary: This article highlights the importance of methodological transparency and consensus in assessing central aortic blood pressure (aoBP) for both clinical and physiological research. Factors such as recording method, mathematical model, and calibration of pulse waveforms should be taken into consideration when analyzing and comparing aoBP data from different sources. The article also addresses the lack of consensus on non-invasive measurement of aoBP and the potential role of aoBP-guided therapy in everyday practice.

Summary: Obese children have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Measuring vascular biomarkers can be helpful in assessing arterial stiffness, subclinical atherosclerosis, and hypertension in these children. The study found that all vascular biomarkers were increased in obese children compared to normal-weight children. Various cut-off values for different age groups can be used to detect obesity-related vascular damage. Waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio showed correlation with all vascular parameters. Insulin resistance played a role in predicting vascular damage, except for carotid intima-media thickness. Detection of acanthosis nigricans can be predicted by specific cut-off values. Elevated levels of certain markers and low levels of HDL-c and vitamin D were correlated with higher arterial stiffness and CIMT values. CIMT and markers of arterial stiffness are useful in the early detection of vascular damage in obese children.

Summary: This study compared arterial pressure monitoring using NIBP and Nexfin(R) with the gold-standard IAP. The results showed a correlation between NIBP, Nexfin(R), and IAP in absolute arterial pressure values, but the interchangeability was not high. Nexfin(R) showed better trending ability compared to NIBP.

Summary: In this non-invasive study, the estimation of central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) using the DCBP formula was compared with the estimation using radial tonometry. The results showed a linear relationship between cSBP estimated by DCBP and cSBP estimated by radial tonometry, and the DCBP method exhibited good sensitivity and specificity in discriminating high blood pressure threshold.

Summary: In this study, a blood pressure prediction method is proposed to mitigate the adverse effects of hyperparameters on deep learning algorithms and human errors. The proposed algorithm utilizes an improved cascade forest regression method based on a deep forest framework and reduces the impact of hyperparameters on the model. Nonlinear indices obtained from the PPG signal are used as training characteristic values to accurately estimate blood pressure, improving predictive performance and reducing memory consumption.

Summary: This study performed a systematic review of the differential expression of sperm microRNAs in bulls related to fertility. A total of 182 unique differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, among which 49 miRNAs were found in common between at least two studies. The results suggest that miRNAs such as miR-10a, -10b, -103, -15b, -122, -125b, -126-5p, -151-5p, -193a-5p, -196a, -27a-5p, and -99b may serve as potential universal biomarkers for assessing the reproductive potential of males.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and development of hair loss in outdoor cattle in Sweden. It found a relatively high hair loss rate, with the occurrence of hair loss increasing over time during winters, suggesting a contagious etiology. The study also identified preventative delousing before November, keeping animals clean, and maintaining small group sizes as effective measures to reduce the risk of hair loss, while older age and access to bedding materials increased the risk.

Summary: This study used infrared thermography (IRT) to identify mastitis in Sahiwal cows. The results showed significant differences in the mean values of udder and teat surface temperature between healthy, subclinical mastitis (SCM), and clinical mastitis (CM) cases during different seasons. IRT is an efficient tool for the early identification of subclinical mastitis.

Summary: In this study, the pharmacokinetic behavior of Eprinomectin was studied in two different goat breeds. The results showed no significant differences in plasma concentration between the breeds, but the clearance from the body may vary. High concentration of Eprinomectin in feces is beneficial against gastrointestinal parasites but poses an ecotoxicological risk to the environment.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of fenbendazole and ivermectin on strongyles and Parascaris sp. infecting adult riding horses in different regions of Iran. The results demonstrated varying degrees of resistance of these parasites to both anthelminthics. It emphasizes the urgency of educating horse owners about the importance of a test-and-treatment strategy and suggests evaluating the efficacy of different anthelminthics to choose the most effective treatment in each region.
