Objective: The aim: To study the hemodynamic parameters in patients with post-stroke pain syndromes.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We examined the hemodynamic parametrs of 74 patients who were treated at the Departments of General Neurology, Vascular Neurology and Pain Center in the Clinical Hospital «Feofania» State Administrative Department. Main group (44 patients) had stroke in anamnesis and chronic pain (headache, back pain, joint pain). The control group (30 patients) suffered from pain but had no stroke in anamnesis. Relationships between hemodynamic parameters and quantitative characteristics of chronic pain (visual analogue scale - VAS) were studied with help of linear Pearson correlation in different stroke periods and between the patients of Main and Control group.
Results: Results: Strong correlations were found between decreasing in a.vertebralis blood flow and intensity of post-stroke pain. Strong correlations were found between intensivity of joint pain and a.vertebralis hemodynamic parameters in the patients in residual period up to 10 years. In the residual period over 10 years, in addition to the connections with hemodynamics in the VB, there was a correlation with the linear rapidly existing parameters of a.cerebri media, a.carotis communis.
Conclusion: Conclusions: Studying of hemodynamic parameters in patients with post-stroke pain syndromes can serve as a basis for a deeper understanding of pain mechanisms and the development of effective preventive and curative measures.

This study assesses the effect of carotid sinus blockade applied with a local anesthetic on hemodynamic parameters during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) operations performed under general anesthesia. The medical records of patients who underwent CEA under general anesthesia between January 2020 and December 2022, were retrospectively reviewed. It was recorded whether the patients received carotid sinus block with 2 mL of 2% prilocaine.

Background: Cinnamon has been studied as a possible way to control blood glucose and serum cholesterol levels. However, there are no well-conducted randomized controlled trials that can accurately measure the lipid and glucose-lowering effects of Cinnamomum zeylanicum (C. zeylanicum) extract.

Appraisal models, such as the Scherer's Component Process Model (CPM), represent an elegant framework for the interpretation of emotion processes, advocating for computational models that capture emotion dynamics. Today's emotion recognition research, however, typically classifies discrete qualities or categorised dimensions, neglecting the dynamic nature of emotional processes and thus limiting interpretability based on appraisal theory. In our research, we estimate emotion intensity from multiple physiological features associated to the CPM's neurophysiological component using dynamical models with the aim of bringing insights into the relationship between physiological dynamics and perceived emotion intensity.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a widely used surgery for portal hypertension. In clinical practice, the diameter of the stent forming a shunt is usually selected empirically, which will influence the postoperative portal pressure. Clinical studies found that inappropriate portal pressure after TIPS is responsible for poor prognosis; however, there is no scheme to predict postoperative portal pressure.

Purpose: This study explores the effects of anthracycline chemotherapy (AC) on breast cancer patients, focusing on changes in body composition, advanced echocardiographic parameters at rest and during exercise, and biomarkers; and subsequently assesses whether these parameters are associated with impaired cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).
Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated women with early-stage breast cancer undergoing AC at three visits: before AC, 1 month after, and 6 months post-AC.
Results: The study included 32 women with breast cancer, with functional disability increasing from 9.
