Physical activity is undeniably associated with numerous health benefits. However, performance of high intensity and/or high-volume exercise poses a significant physiological challenge to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, which must undergo several adaptations to meet the increased metabolic demands of the organism. Repeated and prolonged exposure to training leads to long-term cardiac remodeling aimed at optimizing the efficiency of the work performed by the heart during exertion. This article discusses some of the fundamental mechanisms of cardiovascular physiology during exercise including adaptive responses to acute bouts of exercise and longer term structural and functional characteristics of the athlete's heart.

Background: Telomere length (TL) is a marker of cellular health and aging. Physical exercise has been associated with longer telomeres and, therefore, healthier aging. However, results supporting such effects vary across studies.

Background: Empathy and communication are critical abilities for nursing students, and in recent years, scenario-based teaching has played a crucial role in fostering empathy and professional skill development. However, novice nursing students in basic nursing education often lack prior experience in patient communication, making it challenging for them to prepare adequately for scenarios and effectively handle difficulties in real-life situations. This deficiency also hampers participants' or observers' ability to engage in deep reflection, feedback, and learning.

Introduction: We investigated the efficacy of a multidomain intervention (MI) via face-to-face and video communication platforms using a tablet personal computer application in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods: Three hundred participants with MCI and ≥ 1 modifiable dementia risk factor, aged 60-85 years, were randomly assigned to either the MI group, who underwent a 24-week intervention, or the control group, who received usual care.
Results: The overall adherence rate to MI was 84.
Aim: Determine if low-cost magnification devices (USB computer microscope, smartphone) enable the acquisition and maintenance of basic microsurgical skills by comparing skills learned using these devices against those learned using a surgical microscope. Determine whether skills acquired using these devices can be transferred to the surgical microscope.
Material And Methods: Twelve neurosurgical participants, ranging from faculty to postgraduate year-1 trainees, were randomly divided into three groups for training using a surgical microscope, smartphone, or USB microscope.
