Article Synopsis
- The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a key role in the health benefits associated with whole-body cold stimulation (WBC), but understanding its effects is complicated due to varying methodologies and data interpretation challenges.
- A study involved 23 subjects with obesity undergoing 10 WBC sessions, with heart rate variability (HRV) analyzed to assess changes in cardiac autonomic control (CAR) at two different temperatures.
- Results indicated that both temperature treatments significantly improved CAR, as shown by an increase in the Autonomic Nervous System Index (ANSI) and enhanced heart rate variability over the course of the treatment.
Spontaneous liver bleeding is a rare but life-threatening complication of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The optimal management strategy for this condition remains a topic of ongoing debate. We present the case of a 74-year-old man with cirrhosis and hemorrhagic shock resulting from the spontaneous rupture of HCC.

This study explores the specific contribution of their core symptoms to shared biology in a sample of N=166 verbal children (6-12 years) with rigorously-established primary diagnoses of either autism or ADHD (without autism). We investigated the associations between inter-individual differences in clinician-based dimensional measures of autism and ADHD symptoms and whole-brain low motion intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC).

Among different tumor types, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is exquisitely sensitive to FMD. However, the antitumor activity and efficacy of cyclic FMD in TNBC patients remain unclear.

Methods: We collected two equal-sized groups of male (m-ALS) and female ALS (f-ALS) patients (n = 130 each), who underwent 2-[F]FDG-PET at diagnosis, matched for site of onset, cognitive status and King's stage. We included 168 age-matched healthy controls, half female (f-HC) and half male (m-HC).
