Visceral Fat Affects Heart Rate Recovery but Not the Heart Rate Response Post-Single Bout of Vigorous Exercise: A Cross-Sectional Study in Non-Obese and Healthy Participants.

Body composition could influence exercise physiology. However, no one has ever studied the effect of visceral fat (VF) on heart rate (HR) trends during and after exercise by using bioimpedance analysis (BIA). This study aims to investigate BIA variables as predictors of HR trends during vigorous exercise.

Use Of Cangrelor In Older Patients: Findings From The ARCANGELO Study.

Outcome data on the use of cangrelor in older patients is limited. This post-hoc analysis of the ARCANGELO study aims to assess bleeding and ischemic outcomes with the transition from cangrelor to any oral P2Y inhibitors in age-stratified subgroups (≥75 years - older, <75 years - younger) of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Out of 995 patients, 215 (21.

Exploring the effects of anti-gravity treadmill training in musculoskeletal disorders: A systematic review.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) comprise a great variety of medical conditions, and the economic and sanitary burdens they cause are a major concern for the sanitary systems worldwide. Conventional rehabilitation is effective; however, with the rise of new technologies, it can be further improved. Anti-gravity treadmills are starting to enter the clinical rehabilitation practice of MSD due to their characteristics, which allow weight support while performing walking and running exercises.

The effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on cholinergic neural networks in humans: A neurophysiological study.

Objective: The mechanisms of actions of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) are still unclear, however the activity of the cholinergic system seems to be critical for the induction of VNS-mediated plasticity. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a well-suited, non-invasive tool to investigate cortical microcircuits involving different neurotransmitters. Herein, we evaluated the effect of taVNS on short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI), a TMS paradigm specifically measuring cholinergic neurotransmission.
