Impact of COVID-19 on heart rate variability in post-COVID individuals compared to a control group.

This study investigated the impact of mild COVID-19 on HRV in groups stratified by time after infection and to compare to a healthy group of the same age without previous virus infection and without need of hospitalization. This is a cross-sectional study. We divided the sample into four groups: control group (CG) (n = 31), group 1 (G1): ≤6 weeks (n = 34), group 2 (G2): 2-6 months (n = 30), group 3 (G3): 7-12 months (n = 35) after infection.

Short-term heart rate variability at rest in individuals with temporomandibular disorder: a comparative analysis.

Objective: Compare heart rate variability (HRV) indices in participants with and without myogenic temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Secondarily, we correlated HRV indices with pain and quality of life variables.

Methods: This is a comparative observational cross-sectional study.

Intra- and Interrater Reliability of Short-Term Measurement of Heart Rate Variability on Rest in Individuals Post-COVID-19.

Individuals affected by COVID-19 have an alteration in autonomic balance, associated with impaired cardiac parasympathetic modulation and, consequently, a decrease in heart rate variability (HRV). This study examines the inter- and intrarater reliability of HRV) parameters derived from short-term recordings in individuals post-COVID. Sixty-nine participants of both genders post-COVID were included.

Results and effects of patients who have recovered from COVID-19: identifying the relationship with risk factors and comorbidities.

The number of deaths from COVID-19 is closely associated with multimorbidities. This study aimed to review the clinical and functional conditions of patients who recovered from COVID-19. Additionally, identify the relationship with risk factors and comorbidities.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the Canadian Diabetes Risk Questionnaire for the Brazilian population.

Objective: The aim of this study was to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate the Canadian Diabetes Risk Questionnaire for use in Brazilian Portuguese.

Methods: This is a Questionnaire validity study conducted at a private university. The Brazilian version of the Canadian Diabetes Risk Questionnaire was developed by means of the processes of translation, back-translation, committee review, and pretesting.
