difference, P<0.05). The paraplegics developed a higher esophageal and leg skin temperature, which was attributed to the lack of active vasodilation and evaporative cooling over the legs. The results indicate that individuals with paraplegia suffer from impaired cutaneous vasoconstriction at the onset of arm exercise, and possess only a limited vasodilatory capability in the paralyzed regions. During intense exercise, thermoregulation depends critically on active cutaneous vasodilation and skin cooling.

A 44-year-old male patient experienced persistent radiating pain from the elbow to the hand following herpes zoster vesicular eruptions three months earlier. His examination met the Budapest Clinical Criteria for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), revealing sensory, motor, vasomotor, and sudomotor signs and symptoms. Despite conservative treatments, the pain persisted.

The perimenopausal transition is marked by an increased risk for affective dysregulation and major depressive disorder (MDD), with hormone replacement therapy using estradiol (E2) showing promise for alleviating symptoms of perimenopausal-onset MDD (PO-MDD). Although E2's effectiveness is recognized, its mechanisms underlying mood symptom modulation remain to be fully elucidated. Building on previous research suggesting that E2 may influence mood by altering cortico-subcortical connectivity, this study investigated the effects of transdermal E2 on resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in perimenopausal women with and without PO-MDD, focusing on rsFC changes using seed regions within reward and emotion processing networks.

Background And Purpose: Critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) has been linked to neurocardiac dysfunction mediated by autonomic nervous system dysregulation, which increases mortality. We aimed to assess if heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback could improve neurocardiac function in CIP.
Methods: We randomly allocated (1:1) patients with electrophysiologically confirmed CIP undergoing early inpatient neurological rehabilitation to additional HRV or sham biofeedback over 14 days.
Relationship between peripheral and intracoronary blood flow in patients with angina and nonobstructive coronary arteries.

Coronary vasomotor dysfunction, an important underlying cause of angina and nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA), encompassing coronary vasospasm, coronary endothelial dysfunction, and/or coronary microvascular dysfunction, is clinically assessed by invasive coronary function testing (ICFT). As ICFT imposes a high burden on patients and carries risks, developing noninvasive alternatives is important. We evaluated whether coronary vasomotor dysfunction is a component of systemic microvascular endothelial and smooth muscle dysfunction and can be detected using laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA).

Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA. Electronic address:
Background: Hot flashes, common during menopause, affect up to 80% of the Western menopausal women and are reported to contribute to sleep disturbances in midlife. Few prospective data are available to confirm the specific role of hot flashes in disrupting sleep in midlife women, however, or confirm whether changes in hot flashes in response to clinical therapies result in improvement in sleep.
Objective: To examine the effects of continuous nitroglycerin therapy on sleep quality in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with frequent hot flashes (pre-specified secondary trial endpoint) and to examine prospective associations between hot flashes and sleep disruption in this population.
