Objective: This interventional randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the immediate hemodynamic effects of slow uninostril and alternate nostril breathing (ANB) patterns in normotensive adults.
Methods: A total of 132 normotensive adults aged 25-50 years were randomly allocated into one of four groups: (CAV), (SAV), /ANB, or control. Hemodynamic parameters including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and pulse rate were measured at baseline, once in between two rounds, postintervention, and 5 min after intervention completed.
Results: The study showed a significant decrease in SBP and DBP postintervention in the CAV and ANB groups compared to the SAV group. Furthermore, MAP was significantly lower in the ANB group relative to the control group. These results suggest that different types of can induce immediate changes in hemodynamic parameters even in nonpractitioners of .
Conclusion: The study provides insights into the potential benefits of specific techniques on hemodynamic changes in normotensive individuals, indicating that such techniques could be beneficial in managing BP and overall hemodynamic status.

: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors that increase the likelihood of both acute events and chronic conditions. While exercise has been shown to improve individual risk factors associated with MS; research on its effects on MS as an integrated condition remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-month Adapted Personalized Motor Activity (AMPA) program for improving the health outcomes of individuals with MS.

: Vascular aging is associated with increased arterial stiffness and changes in the wall structure, leading to a loss of elasticity. Silicon is abundant in arteries and plays a key role in the synthesis and stabilization of elastin fibers. In animal models of accelerated cardiovascular aging, a specific nutritional supplement based on silicon-enriched spirulina (SpSi) has been shown to have beneficial effects on vascular function.

Background/objectives: Whole-food plant-based diets (WFPBDs) are beneficial in managing hypertension in the general population but have not been well studied in chronic kidney disease (CKD), potentially due to concerns about hyperkalemia. We hypothesized that individuals with CKD 3 or 4 attending a 15-day WFPBD education program would achieve lower blood pressure compared to those who did not, without an increased risk of hyperkalemia.
Methods: This was a pilot trial of 40 subjects with mild-to-moderate CKD and hypertension but without diabetes or proteinuria from a single academic center.
