Objective: Aim: To analyze the relationship between daily blood pressure biorhythms and left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy in working-age men with arterial hypertension.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Fifty-seven men with AH (mean age: 44.6±1.3 years) underwent Echo-CG and daily ABPM. Non-dipper and night-peaker patterns indicated BP biorhythm disturbances, while normal dipper and over-dipper patterns indicated undisturbed BP biorhythms. LVH was defined as LMMI > 115 g/m^2.
Results: Results: About 60% of participants exhibited diurnal BP rhythm disorders, with a higher prevalence of LVH in this group compared to those with normal BP biorhythms (32% vs. 22%, p>0,05). Patients with normal daily BP biorhythms had significantly higher circadian indices of HR, systolic and diastolic BP, and double product compared to those with disturbed BP rhythms.
Conclusion: Conclusions: In young men with "non-dipper" and "night-peaker" patterns, LVH appears to be more pronounced than in those with normal daily BP biorhythms. This approach may optimize the timing of antihypertensive drug administration.

Neonatal calf diarrhea is a frequent disease of calves and may result in dehydration and metabolic acidosis. The disease causes mortality and reduces growth and future productivity. Early identification of disease improves calf outcomes and thus there is increasing interest in technological methods for detecting disease.

Excessive exercise can lead to fatigue, consequently affect exercise performance, and further have an adverse impact to human health. The synergistic effects of ginsenosides, salidroside, and syringin on improving exercise performance remain unknown. Hence, the effects of Chinese herb powder (CHP) which consisted of bioactive compounds such as ginsenosides (Rg1, Re, and Rb1), salidroside, and syringin on exercise performance, energy metabolism, tissue damage, antioxidant activity, and inflammatory cytokine were investigated in exhaustive exercise rats.

Ascites syndrome (AS) is a deadly condition in fast-growing chickens, preceded by pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), where the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (ATR1) plays a role. We investigated whether allicin (ALLI), a garlic derivative, could (a) interact with broiler ATR1, (b) affect ascites-related traits [haematocrit content (Hct%), blood oxygen saturation (SaO), and the right-to-total ventricular weight ratio (RV:TV)], (c) modify ATR1 expression in the lung, heart, and liver, alongside ascites mortality and growth performance in Ross 308 broilers raised at high altitude and under cold temperatures promoting PAH/AS. Three groups (n = 70 each) were studied: 0-ALLI (untreated), 1-ALLI (allicin 1 mg/kg body weight/daily at 14-27 days of age by oral-oesophageal route), and 2.

Stress occurs as a reaction to mental and emotional pressure, anxiety, or scarring. Chronic stress is defined as constant submission to these moments. It can affect several body systems, increase blood pressure, and weaken immunity, thereby interfering with physiological health processes.

Fungal contamination in the air of hospital wards can affect the health of medical staff, patients, and caregivers. Through systematic analysis of the concentration, types, and particle size distribution characteristics of fungi in the air of wards in Wuhan, China, in 2023, it was found that there was no significant correlation between the concentration of fungi in the air of wards and the disease type and personnel density. The main influencing factors were temperature, humidity, and seasonal changes.
