Aims: Transient ischaemia and reperfusion (TIAR) induce early ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) in different tissues and organs, including the skin. IPC protects tissues by modifying the mitochondrial function and decreasing the amount of the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Skin 460-nm autofluorescence is proportional to the NADH content and can be non-invasively measured during TIAR.

- HIV patients are at increased risk for heart issues, and the quality of ECG readings from handheld devices deteriorates as the disease progresses.
- A study involving 263 Kenyan adults analyzed the readability of 30-second ECG recordings made during routine check-ups, with 76.4% readable and 23.6% unreadable results.
- The findings suggest that as the HIV infection stage advances, patients are more likely to have unreadable ECGs, indicating that mobile devices may not accurately diagnose heart arrhythmias in these individuals.
