High-intensity interval aerobic exercise delays recovery from heart rate variability: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Purpose: The present review investigates the responses of heart rate variability indices following high-intensity interval aerobic exercise, comparing it with moderate-intensity continuous exercise in adults, with the aim of informing clinical practice.

Methods: Searches were conducted in four databases until March 2023. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials that assessed heart rate variability indices such as the standard deviation of normal-to-normal heartbeat intervals (SDNN), the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), the proportion of the number of pairs of successive normal-to-normal (NN or R-R) intervals that differ by more than 50 ms (NN50) divided by the total number of NN intervals (pNN50), power in high frequency range (HF), power in low frequency range (LF), and LF/HF before and after high-intensity interval and moderate-intensity continuous aerobic exercise.

Experimental infection of wild boars (Sus scrofa) with Rickettsia rickettsii and evaluation of the transmission potential to Amblyomma sculptum ticks.

Background: Brazilian spotted fever is a tick-borne disease caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, whose main vector in Brazil is the tick Amblyomma sculptum. Amplifying hosts are essential for the perpetuation of this bacterium in the tick population as they can be sources of infection during bacteremic periods. Recent studies demonstrated the ability of suids (Sus scrofa) to sustain populations of A.

Abortion-related complications in Brazil: results from the World Health Organization Multi-country Survey on Abortion (MCS-A).

This study aimed to describe the severity of abortion-related complications, factors associated with complications, the types of management and the experience of care in Brazil. A cross-sectional study in twenty hospitals (10 in Federal District, 3 in Rondônia and 7 in Maranhão). For 3 months, all women treated for abortion/miscarriage had their data collected.

Extraction and Characterization of Inulin-Like Fructans from Hydroponically Grown Stevia rebaudiana Roots for Food Applications.

Stevia rebaudiana is a plant native to South America known for producing steviol glycosides and fructans used in low-calorie and functional foods. This study aimed to cultivate and isolate inulin from hydroponically grown S. rebaudiana roots.

Lipopolysaccharide preconditioning disrupts the behavioral and molecular response to restraint stress in male mice.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder potentially influenced by factors such as stress and inflammation. Chronic stress can lead to maladaptive brain changes that may trigger immune hyperactivation, contributing to MDD's pathogenesis. While the involvement of inflammation in MDD is well established, the effects of inflammatory preconditioning in animals subsequently exposed to chronic stress remain unclear.
