Exaggerated blood pressure (BP) responses during exercise are independently associated with future development of hypertension. Partial sleep deprivation (PSD) can increase 24-h ambulatory BP, but the effects on exercise BP are unclear. We hypothesized that acute PSD would augment the BP response to constant load cycling exercise and a 20-min time trial. Twenty-two healthy adults (22 ± 3 yr old; 13 males; V̇o, 43.6 ± 8.2 mL·kg·min) completed a randomized crossover trial in which they either slept normally (normal sleep-wake schedule for each participant) or sleep was partially deprived (early awakening, 40% of normal sleep duration). Each participant completed a 12-min warm-up consisting of two 6-min steps (, 62 ± 25 W; , 137 ± 60 W) followed by a 20-min time trial on a cycle ergometer. PSD did not alter power output during the 20-min time trial [(control vs. PSD) 170 ± 68 vs. 168 ± 68 W, = 0.65]. Systolic BP did not differ during of the warm-up (141 ± 15 vs. 137 ± 12 mmHg, = 0.39) but was lower following PSD during (165 ± 21 vs. 159 ± 22 mmHg, = 0.004) and the 20-min time trial (171 ± 20 vs. 164 ± 23 mmHg, < 0.001). These results were maintained when peak oxygen uptake (V̇o) was included as a covariate. Systolic BP responses were modulated by sex (time × visit × sex interaction = 0.03), with attenuated systolic BP during the warm-up and the 20-min time trial in males but not in females. In contrast to our hypothesis, acute PSD attenuates systolic BP responses during constant load and 20-min time trial cycling exercise; however, these observations appear to be primarily driven by changes in males. A single night of partial sleep deprivation (PSD) can increase ambulatory blood pressure (BP) the following day. Despite this phenomenon, the present study found that acute PSD attenuates systolic BP responses to both constant load cycling and a 20-min cycling time trial in young healthy adults. Interestingly, the attenuated systolic BP responses following PSD appeared to be modulated by sex such that attenuations were observed in males but not in females.

Previous research highlights impairments in the recognition of facial expression of emotion in individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Relatives of people with ASD may exhibit similar, albeit subtler, impairments, referred to as the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP). Recently, the Differential outcomes procedure (DOP) has been shown to enhance this ability in young adults using dynamic stimuli, with fewer intensity levels required to identify fear and surprise.

Background: Loss to follow-up (LTFU) of patients with presumed tuberculosis (TB) before completing the diagnostic process (pre-diagnosis LTFU) and before initiating treatment for those diagnosed (pre-treatment LTFU) is a challenge in the realization of the End TB Strategy. We assessed the proportion of pre-diagnosis and pre-treatment LTFU and associated factors among patients with presumed TB and those diagnosed in the selected health facilities.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study involving a review of routinely collected data from presumptive, laboratory and TB treatment registers from January 2019 to December 2022.

Background And Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains a significant challenge due to its heterogeneity and resistance to therapy. Regorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, can inhibit tumor progression through multiple mechanisms, thereby improving patient prognosis.

Introduction: Very elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) are at high risk for both ischemic and hemorrhagic events. This study aimed to understand the characteristics and real-world treatment of very elderly patients with NVAF in Japan.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of electronic health records and claims data from acute care hospitals for very elderly patients with NVAF with medical records available on or after their 80th birthday.

Current clinical assessment tools don't fully capture the genuine neural deficits experienced by chronic stroke survivors and, consequently, they don't fully explain motor function throughout everyday life. Towards addressing this problem, here we aimed to characterise post-stroke alterations in upper-limb control from a novel perspective to the muscle synergy by applying, for the first time, a computational approach that quantifies diverse types of functional muscle interactions (i.e.
