Aim: of the study was to assess the relationship between advanced glycation end-products measured by skin autofluorescence (AGEs) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) in non-diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Material And Methods: Skin autofluorescence (AGE--reader, DiagnOptic) and PWV in humero-malleolar segment (PWVhm) were measured in 93 non-diabetic CVD patients (mean age 63.5 years): 28 with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and 65 without IHD from the group with moderate/high risk of development of cardiovascular complications.
Results: Significant positive association was observed between AGEs and PWVhm (r = 0.31, p = 0.003). This correlation was found only in patients without IHD (r = 0.44, p < 0.0003). Positive association AGEs with of age (r = 0.52, p = 0.006) was observed irrespective of IHD. AGEs was not the significant determinant of PWVhm in multiple regression analysis.
Conclusion: Relationship between AGEs and PWVhm was found in non-diabetic moderate/high-risk patients. In contrast to age and systolic blood pressure AGEs was not the significant determinant of PWVhm.

The importance of continuous and reliable pulse wave monitoring is constantly being increased in health signal monitoring and disease diagnoses. Flexible pressure sensors with high sensitivity, low hysteresis and fast response time are an effective means for monitoring pulses. Herein, a special wave-shaped layered porous structure of carbonized wood cellulose sponge (CWCS) was constructed based on natural wood (NW).

To what extent sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of the type-5 phosphodiesterase modulates systemic redox status and cerebrovascular function during acute exposure to hypoxia remains unknown. To address this, 12 healthy males (aged 24 ± 3 y) participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study involving exposure to both normoxia and acute (60 min) hypoxia (Fi = 0.14), followed by oral administration of 50 mg sildenafil and placebo (double-blinded).

The objective identification of depression using physiological data has emerged as a significant research focus within the field of psychiatry. The advancement of wearable physiological measurement devices has opened new avenues for the identification of individuals with depression in everyday-life contexts. Compared to other objective measurement methods, wearables offer the potential for continuous, unobtrusive monitoring, which can capture subtle physiological changes indicative of depressive states.
