Inflammaging, the chronic, progressive proinflammatory state associated with aging, has been associated with multiple negative health outcomes in humans. The pathophysiology of inflammaging is complex; however, it is often characterized by high serum concentrations of inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP). Few studies have evaluated the effects of age on inflammatory cytokines in companion dogs, and most of these studies included dogs of a single breed.

Acute mental stress elicits sympathetic activation, increasing heart rate and shortening the QT interval, but it is unknown whether this activation translates to stroke volume (SV) changes. Multivariate power spectral decomposition was used to assess the influence of heart rate and QT variabilities on SV variability at rest and during acute mental stress. Acute mental stress elicits mild but statistically significant increase in SV variability.

- Researchers studied how our body's vital signs respond to stress using tests on healthy people.
- They found important signals like heart rate and skin response that help measure stress reactions effectively.
- Their work helps us understand stress better and can improve future studies about how we handle mental stress.
Introduction: Postprocedural bleeding is a major adverse event after endoscopic resection of colorectal lesions, but the optimal surveillance time after endoscopy is unclear. In this study, we determined onset time and characteristics of postprocedural bleeding events.
Methods: We retrospectively screened patients who underwent endoscopic resection of colorectal lesions at three German hospitals between 2010 and 2019 for postprocedural bleeding events using billing codes.
