Summary: Patients with HFpEF have lower peak oxygen consumption and heart rate compared to senior controls, but there were no significant differences in peak heart rate response during static handgrip exercise and metaboreceptor function between the two groups. The key reflex autonomic pathways regulating exercise heart rate responsiveness are intact in HFpEF despite lower peak exercise heart rates.

Summary: This study found that hydration can enhance the recovery speed of coronary artery disease patients after cardiovascular rehabilitation sessions, as evidenced by improvements in HR variability and recovery rate. However, there were no significant differences between the two recovery protocols, indicating a need for further research.

Summary: Workplace health promotion programs and services provided by insurers are important in fostering health and preventing chronic diseases. These programs should be tailored to meet the specific needs and characteristics of companies and employees. Age is an important factor to consider, as younger workers have different lifestyle patterns and stress levels compared to older workers.

Summary: Stress can contribute to the progression of diseases, but there are few methods for continuously measuring stress. This study investigated if wearable devices can be used to measure stress by analyzing cardiovascular signals. The results showed that heart rate and heart rate variability changed after running or high-stress work, indicating that wearables can quantify stressful events and help individuals manage stress.

Summary: The primary purpose of this study was to compare two commonly used equations for predicting HRmax with the direct measured HRmax, and to suggest new equations for Asians. The study found significant differences in the predictions of HRmax between the two equations for Koreans, and both equations tended to overestimate HRmax for males and females over 15 years old.

Summary: This study examined the association between the longitudinal evolution of heart rate variability (HRV) and the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The results showed that an increase in heart rate and a decrease in HRV were independently associated with the incidence of T2D, especially among younger individuals.

Summary: Our study compared the effects of water- and land-based exercise training on heart rate variability in patients with CAD, finding that water-based exercise training led to significant increases in linear LF/HF and non-linear alpha 1 parameters. This suggests that short-term aquatic exercise training is safe and beneficial for patients with CAD.

Summary: The study developed an AI model to construct a guided exercise prescription system for sub-healthy groups, which achieved high testing accuracy and low mean absolute error in predicting heart rate differences after following the suggested exercise modes. The system provides quantitative exercise prescriptions to guide the sub-healthy group to engage in effective exercise programs.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze cardiac autonomic modulation in individuals with SCI during postural transition from sitting to orthostatism position using a cognitive VR task. The results showed that there was better sympathovagal balance between sitting and 90 degrees positions in the SCI group who performed the VR task.

Summary: This study aimed to identify predictors of long-term adverse events after a negative exercise test in patients with chest pain and a lower intermediate pre-test probability of coronary artery disease (CAD), and to evaluate the prognostic value of exercise electrocardiography and exercise stress echocardiography in this patient group. Results showed that in 862 patients with chest pain and a pre-test probability of CAD ranging from 15 to 65%, 10.1% experienced adverse events, which were independently associated with male gender, age, diabetes, and slow heart rate recovery in the first minute after exercise. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse events between patients tested by exercise stress echocardiography and those who underwent stress electrocardiography.

Summary: Professional societies and guideline writing committees emphasize the importance of accurate blood pressure measurement, but most regulatory authorities do not require validation for blood pressure measurement devices. This has resulted in a global proliferation of non-validated devices, which can lead to inaccurate blood pressure estimates and impact clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Summary: Automated oscillometric blood pressure measuring devices have replaced manual auscultatory blood pressure measurement by mercury sphygmomanometers in clinical settings. These validated devices provide similar blood pressure values to manual measurement, making them the recommended standard for hypertension diagnosis and management globally.

Summary: Recently, common genetic risk factors for intracranial aneurysm (IA) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASAH) were found to have potential for genetic risk prediction. However, a genetic risk score incorporating these factors only showed limited predictive value for IA presence and ASAH incidence, suggesting that it may not be suitable for daily clinical use.

Summary: Uterine leiomyomata (UL) are the most common tumours in women and often result in surgical removal of the uterus. This study identified 22 new genetic loci associated with UL risk, in addition to the previously known 50 loci. The identified genes are involved in development, growth, and cellular senescence, particularly in the smooth muscle cell differentiation and proliferation pathways.

Summary: Refractive error is a complex eye condition caused by genetic and environmental factors. Genome-wide association studies have identified common genetic risk factors, but a significant portion of the heritability is still unexplained. By conducting gene-based association tests, we identified 129 unique genes associated with refractive error in a large dataset. Some of the novel candidates, such as PDCD6IP, PER3, and P4HTM, show promise for future functional studies and validation.

Summary: The authors identified genetic loci for narcolepsy and suggested infection and immune cell involvement as triggers. They also found that narcolepsy type 1 is caused by a loss of hypocretin/orexin transmission. In addition, the study revealed risk factors related to H1N1 influenza A infection and immunization with Pandemrix (R) vaccine.

Summary: This study examined the influence of childhood family environment on the risk of developing mental disorders in adulthood. It found that frequent stress-prone life events increased the risk of non-affective psychotic disorders, while disadvantageous emotional family atmosphere slightly increased the risk of affective disorders. These results highlight the importance of individual and public health preventive measures, including family support interventions.
