The blood pressure-lowering effect of aerobic training is preceded by improving cardiovascular autonomic control. We previously demonstrated that aerobic training conducted in the evening (ET) induces a greater decrease in blood pressure than morning training (MT). To study whether the greater blood pressure decrease after ET occurs through better cardiovascular autonomic regulation, this study aimed to compare MT versus ET on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in treated patients with hypertension.

- Haemostatic disorders from Lonomia obliqua caterpillar exposure have become widespread in southern Brazil, leading to significant health concerns.
- A study of 105 patients revealed prolonged global coagulation tests, with patients categorized into three groups based on fibrinogen levels, showing distinct changes in various coagulation factors, particularly in those with very low fibrinogen.
- Findings indicate that the envenoming results in consumption coagulopathy and secondary fibrinolysis, as evidenced by reduced protein C levels and elevated D-Dimer across all groups.
