Heart rate variability (HRV), hemodynamics, cerebral alpha-rhythm and systemic relations between them were investigated in 35 normal human subjects at the age of 37.2 +/- 3.8 years. Results of comprehensive clinical, functional and instrumental HRV investigations, electroencephalography (EEG) using 21 monopolar electrodes and blood pressure (BP) monitoring were embodied in mathematical models describing the relations of these parameters, multiple regression equations, and generated 3-D diagrams. It was found that relative increase of LF and reductions of HF ranges occurred on the background of BP elevation. The EEG alpha amplitude was depressed and alpha index decreased. The HRV reduction and modification of the alpha-rhythm structure were demonstrated to affect BP values. These data point to interactions and tight relations between the vegetative and central nervous systems and BP.

Exploring Individual Differences in Interoception Among Athletes Based on a Three-Dimensional Construct of Interoception.

School of Psychology, Beijing Sport University, Beijing, China.
Previous studies demonstrated that sensorimotor training enhances interoceptive abilities. Athletes are highly engaged in performance-driven physical training and often incorporate-to varying degrees-sensorimotor training into their routines. In this study, we investigated the role of individual differences in interoception by comparing professional athletes of different performance levels and both sexes with recreational athletes and controls, applying a three-dimensional model of interoception.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the normal variations of myocardial T1, T2, and T2* relaxation times on cardiac MRI obtained at 1.5 T in healthy, sex-balanced volunteers aged between 18 and 69 years.
Material And Methods: A total of 172 healthy volunteers were recruited prospectively.
The fetal cerebral Doppler in the last weeks of pregnancy can select very small fetuses unlikely to present intrapartum compromise.

Fetal Medicine Unit, St George's Hospital, London, UK.
Objective: To evaluate whether, in late pregnancy, the cerebral Doppler can identify very small fetuses that are less likely to experience intrapartum compromise (IC).
Material And Methods: This was a retrospective study of 282 singleton pregnancies that underwent an ultrasound scan at 32 + 0- 40 + 6 weeks and were delivered after induction, or spontaneous onset of labor. Very small fetuses were defined as fetuses with estimated weight less than the 3rd centile.

Cardiologists have analyzed daily patterns in the incidence of sudden cardiac death to identify environmental, behavioral, and physiological factors that trigger fatal arrhythmias. Recent studies have indicated an overall increase in sudden cardiac arrest during daytime hours when the frequency of arrhythmogenic triggers is highest. The risk of fatal arrhythmias arises from the interaction between these triggers-such as elevated sympathetic signaling, catecholamine levels, heart rate, afterload, and platelet aggregation-and the heart's susceptibility (myocardial substrate) to them.

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants that have garnered significant attention due to their small particle size, resistance to degradation and large specific surface area, which makes it easy to adsorb various pollutants, particularly heavy metals. Arsenic (As), a common metal poisons, poses significant risks due to its widespread industrial use. When MPs and As co-exist in the environment, they can exert combined toxic effects on organisms, affecting various systems, including the nervous system.
