Heart rate variability (HRV; variability of the RR interval of the electrocardiogram) results from the activity of several coexisting control mechanisms, which involve the influence of respiration (RESP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) oscillations operating across multiple temporal scales and changing in different physiological states. In this study, multiscale information decomposition is used to dissect the physiological mechanisms related to the genesis of HRV in 78 young volunteers monitored at rest and during postural and mental stress evoked by head-up tilt (HUT) and mental arithmetics (MA). After representing RR, RESP and SBP at different time scales through a recently proposed method based on multivariate state space models, the joint information transfer T RESP , SBP → RR is decomposed into unique, redundant and synergistic components, describing the strength of baroreflex modulation independent of respiration ( U SBP → RR ), nonbaroreflex ( U RESP → RR ) and baroreflex-mediated ( R RESP , SBP → RR ) respiratory influences, and simultaneous presence of baroreflex and nonbaroreflex respiratory influences ( S RESP , SBP → RR ), respectively. We find that fast (short time scale) HRV oscillations-respiratory sinus arrhythmia-originate from the coexistence of baroreflex and nonbaroreflex (central) mechanisms at rest, with a stronger baroreflex involvement during HUT. Focusing on slower HRV oscillations, the baroreflex origin is dominant and MA leads to its higher involvement. Respiration influences independent on baroreflex are present at long time scales, and are enhanced during HUT.

Background: Previous studies have documented the effectiveness of music therapy in improving adverse neonatal outcomes in premature infants. However, this review aims to address the question of how long listening to music can enhance these neonatal outcomes.
Methods: To conduct this dose-response meta-analysis, we searched the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases.

Objectives: To develop and validate a simplified Bleeding Audit Triage Trauma (sBATT) score for use by lay persons, or in areas and environments where physiological monitoring equipment may be unavailable or inappropriate.
Design: The sBATT was derived from the original BATT, which included prehospital systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate, respiratory rate, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), age and trauma mechanism. Variables suitable for lay interpretation without monitoring equipment were included (age, level of consciousness, absence of radial pulse, tachycardia and trapped status).

Background: Air pollution (AP) has become a substantial environmental issue affecting human cardiorespiratory health. Physical exercise (PE) is widely accepted to promote cardiorespiratory health. There is a paucity of research on the point at which the level of polluted environment engaged in PE could be used as a preventive approach to compensate for the damages of AP.
