Purpose: The objective of this report was to identify the main mechanisms of home-based remote monitoring programs for cardiac rehabilitation (RM CR) and examine how these mechanisms vary by context.
Methods: This was a systematic review using realist synthesis. To be included, articles had to be published in English between 2010 and November 2020 and contain specific data related to mechanisms of effect of programs. MEDLINE All (1946-) via Ovid, Embase (1974-) via Ovid, APA PsycINFO (1806-), CINAHL via EBSCO, Scopus databases, and gray literature were searched.
Results: From 13 747 citations, 91 focused on cardiac conditions, with 23 reports including patients in CR. Effective RM CR programs more successfully adapted to different patient home settings and broader lives, incorporated individualized patient health data, and had content designed specifically for patients in cardiac rehabilitation. Relatively minor but common technical issues could significantly reduce perceived benefits. Patients and families were highly receptive to the programs and viewed themselves as fortunate to receive such services. The RM CR programs could be improved via incorporating more connectivity to other patients. No clear negative effects on perceived utility or outcomes occurred by patient age, ethnicity, or sex. Overall, the programs were seen to best suit highly motivated patients and consolidated rather than harmed existing relationships with health care professionals and teams.
Conclusions: Remote monitoring CR programs are perceived by patients to be beneficial and attractive. Future RM CR programs should consider adaptability to different home settings, incorporate individualized health data, and contain content specific to patient needs.

Background: Digital health technologies have been proposed as a potential solution to improving maternal cardiovascular (CV) health in the postpartum (PP) period. In this context we performed a systematic scoping review of digital health interventions designed to improve PP CV health.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library.

Heart failure (HF) is a life-threatening condition with severe incapacitating consequences. Many body organs and systems may be affected, which may also hinder the quality of life and finances at the individual and societal levels. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have also emerged as potentially useful drugs in the HF domain and other medical fields, in addition to their glucose-lowering effect.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) are non-invasive therapies widely used for pain relief and neuromuscular adaptation. However, the clinical research supporting the efficacy of TENS in chronic pain management is limited by significant methodological flaws, including small sample sizes and inconsistent reporting of stimulation parameters. TENS modulates pain perception through various techniques, targeting specific nerve fibers and pain pathways.

Studying nocturnal behavior is crucial for understanding the full scope of a species' behavioral flexibility so as to inform the conservation of wild populations and the care of captive individuals. However, this aspect of primate behavior is understudied, especially in great apes, which exhibit some of the widest documented behavioral diversity and flexibility. Our investigation is among the first to systematically compare the 24 h activity patterns and behavioral activities of captive chimpanzees (Saint Louis Zoo, USA) with those of wild chimpanzees (three sites across the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo) and a published data set of the nocturnal behavior of all chimpanzee subspecies.

Multispecies coral reef fisheries are typically managed by local communities who often lack research and monitoring capacity, which prevents estimation of well-defined sustainable reference points to perform locally relevant fishery assessments. Recent research modeling coral reef fisheries globally has estimated multispecies sustainable reference points (i.e.
