Article Synopsis
- - Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a significant health issue, and mitochondrial dysfunction (MD) plays a crucial role in their development and progression, although the causes of MD itself are still not fully understood.
- - The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of how NCD risk factors contribute to MD, proposing a theoretical framework based on extensive research into their relationship.
- - Conclusions suggest that MD contributes to organ dysfunction and the overlap of various NCDs, calling for preventative measures that focus on identifying and addressing the underlying risk factors, with mitochondria being a key target for treatment.
Heart rhythm measurements over time reflect important elements of Autonomic Nervous System dynamics. Synchronization among the heart rhythms of multiple participants has been observed, but this study uses the first global dataset collected that measures synchronization at several locations across the globe continuously for multiple weeks. For 15 days, 104 participants located in California (USA), Lithuania, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, and England underwent continuous ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring.

For this purpose, the interplay between the RR and JT cardiac intervals is measured and assessed for each participant. This case study involves a modest sample size of eight individuals with normal and elevated blood pressure.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the complexity matching between the HRVs of the group of Healers and the Healee during the various stages of the meditation protocol by employing a novel mathematical approach based on the H-rank algorithm. The complexity matching of heart rate variability is assessed before and during a heart-focused meditation in a close non-contact healing exercise. The experiment was conducted on a group of individuals (eight Healers and one Healee) throughout the various phases of the protocol over a ~75-minute period.

The case study comprised 8 healthy individuals and 7 unhealthy individuals, and the mean and standard deviation of age was 65.84 ± 1.
