Background: Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction and obesity are intrinsically related to each other. In normal-weight subjects physical activity (PA) and fitness are related to cardiovascular autonomic regulation, providing evidence that aerobic training may improve ANS functioning measured by heart rate variability (HRV). The goal of this study was to investigate the association between lifetime PA, aerobic fitness and HRV in obese adults.

However, there are limited data on the influence of spontaneous nocturnal hypoglycemia on cardiac autonomic regulation.
Research Design And Methods: Adults with type 1 diabetes (n = 37) underwent continuous glucose monitoring via a subcutaneous sensor as well as recording of R-R interval or electrocardiogram for 3 nights.
Article Synopsis
- Isolated teres minor denervation is found in 3% to 5.5% of shoulder MRI exams, highlighting its occurrence in shoulder pain cases.
- Eight patients were identified with nerve lesions in the axillary nerve affecting the teres minor muscle, which is challenging to diagnose clinically.
- Neurophysiologists should routinely assess the teres minor muscle during shoulder examinations, ensuring comprehensive evaluation of both tendons and muscles in MRI and ultrasound studies.
