Introduction: Internal driver events such as emotional arousal do not consistently elicit observable behaviors. However, heart rate (HR) offers promise as a surrogate measure for predicting these states in drivers. Imaging photoplethysmography (IPPG) can measure HR from face video recorded in static, indoor settings, but has yet to be examined in an in-vehicle driving environment.
Methods: Participants (N=10) completed an on-road driving task whilst wearing a commercial, chest-strap style heart rate monitor ("baseline"). IPPG was applied to driver face video to estimate HR and the two measures of HR were compared.
Results: For 4 of 10 participants, IPPG produced a valid HR signal (±5 BPM of baseline) between 48 and 75% of trip duration. For the remaining participants, IPPG accuracy was poor (<20%).
Conclusions: In-vehicle IPPG is achievable, but significant challenges remain.
Practical Applications: The relationship between IPPG accuracy and various confounding factors was quantified for future refinement.

Background: Studies on rest durations during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) often compare fixed and self-selected (SS) rest allocation approaches. Frequently, the rest duration under SS conditions is unlimited, leading to inconsistent total rest durations compared to fixed rest conditions. To address this limitation, we recently compared fixed and SS rest conditions during cycling HIIT sessions, while keeping the total rest duration equivalent.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and available treatment strategies for reoperation of neonatal high jejunal atresia, and recommend preventive measures to reduce the reoperation rate of high jejunal atresia.
Methods: The clinical data of 16 children with high jejunal atresia who underwent reoperation in the Neonatal Surgery Department at Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Among the 16 unplanned reoperations, 7 (43.
Ciprofol, a novel γ-aminobutyric acid receptor agonist, outperforms propofol with minimal cardiovascular effects, higher potency, reduced injection pain, and a broader safety margin. Despite these advantages, ciprofol's clinical research is still emerging. This study compares the median effective dose (ED) and adverse reactions of ciprofol and propofol, in conjunction with sufentanil, for suppressing cardiovascular responses during tracheal intubation.

Aim: We evaluated whether sample entropy of heart rate time series could serve as a biomarker for guiding caffeine cessation in preterm infants treated for apnoea of prematurity (AOP). We also assessed associations of sample entropy with weeks of gestation, clinical morbidity, AOP frequency and caffeine reinitiation.
Methods: We conducted a prospective single-centre study at the University Children's Hospital Basel, Switzerland, from July 2019 to June 2020.

Stress echocardiography has evolved from the sole assessment of regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs) to the ABCDE protocol, as recommended by the recent clinical consensus statement from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, reflecting the need for a more systematic patient assessment. Steps A, B, C, D, and E assess RWMAs, lung B-lines, left ventricular contractile reserve, coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) in mid-distal left anterior descending artery, and heart rate reserve, respectively. Impairment of CFVR is considered as the earliest abnormality in the ischaemic cascade.
