AI Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effects of whole-body vibration combined with resistance exercise (WBV + RE) on postexercise hypotension and excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) in prehypertensive adults.
- The experiment involved three conditions: WBV + RE, resistance exercise alone, and a control group, measuring blood pressure and oxygen consumption after each exercise.
- Results showed that WBV + RE led to significantly lower postexercise blood pressure and higher EPOC compared to the other two conditions, indicating its potential benefits for clinical populations.
Article Abstract
Background/objective: Research on the acute health effects of whole-body vibration with resistance exercise (WBV + RE) for clinical populations is limited. This randomized crossover trial evaluated postexercise hypotension and excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) in response to three conditions: WBV + RE, RE alone, and control (CON) in 11 prehypertensive (systolic/diastolic blood pressure: 120-139/80-89 mmHg) adults.
Methods: Following a 12-hour fast with no exercise for the previous 24 hours, resting VO and blood pressure (BP) were measured. WBV + RE was performed while standing barefoot on a vibration platform (Pneumex Pro-Vibe) and lifting a bar of 10% body weight. Fifteen repetitions of nine exercises were performed using a 1-minute-to-30-second exercise:rest ratio. RE was identical to WBV + RE but without vibration. During CON, participants remained seated for 15 minutes. Following exercise, VO was measured continuously and BP every 15 minutes for 3 hours.
Results: Postexercise hypotension and EPOC were significantly different for WBV + RE compared with RE and CON ( <0.001). Postexercise systolic BP was significantly lower for WBV + RE as compared with RE or CON, while diastolic BP was lower for both WBV + RE and RE compared with CON ( < 0.001; WBV + RE: 124 ± 2/72 ± 6 mmHg; RE: 126 ± 2/71 ± 6 mmHg; CON: 128 ± 2/73 ± 6 mmHg). EPOC was significantly ( < 0.001) higher at 15 minutes postexercise for WBV + RE as compared with RE.
Conclusion: Compared with RE alone, a single bout of WBV + RE resulted in a greater postexercise hypotension response and higher EPOC.

Introduction: The aim of the observational SIMPLE study was to assess real-life effectiveness and safety of a single-pill combination (SPC) of perindopril arginine/amlodipine in a broad range of subjects with newly diagnosed mild-to-moderate hypertension treated in Canadian general practice.
Methods: Treatment-naïve participants aged 18-65 years with mild-to-moderate hypertension, whose physicians decided to initiate the perindopril/amlodipine SPC, were recruited from Canadian clinical practice from October 2017 to February 2019. Participants were followed at 3- (M3) and 6-month (M6) visits after treatment initiation.
A Podcast on Patient and Physician Perspectives in the Holistic Care of Heart-Related Challenges of Type 2 Diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) frequently coexists with cardiorenal complications. Therefore, a holistic approach to patient management is required, with specialists such as primary care physicians, cardiologists, endocrinologists, and nephrologists working together to provide patient care. Although glycemic control is important in the management of T2D, patients with T2D and acceptable glycemic control are still at risk from cardiovascular (CV) events such as stroke, heart attack, and heart failure (HF).

Background: Reducing inequities in hypertension control among those affected in low- and middle-income countries requires person-centred health system responses based on a contextualised understanding of the choices and care pathways taken by those who rely on the services provided, particularly those from poor and marginalised communities. We examine patterns of care seeking and pathways followed by individuals with hypertension from low-income households in the Philippines and Malaysia. This study aims to fill a significant gap in the literature by analysing the stages at which individuals make decisions that may affect the successful control of their blood pressure.

Background: Burns in children are often complex injuries, leading to prolonged length of stay (LOS) and significant morbidity. LOS in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) is a key measure for evaluating illness severity, clinical outcomes, and quality of care. Accurate prediction of LOS is vital for improving care planning and resource allocation.

Delayed cerebral ischemia, one of the most common complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, was strongly related to poor patient outcomes. However, there are currently no clear guidelines to provide clinical guidance for post-craniotomy management. Our research aims to explore the association between cumulative blood pressure exposure during the early brain injury phase and the occurrence of delayed cerebral infarction and rebleeding following surgical aneurysm clipping.
