Background: Epidemiological studies reported associations between ozone (O) exposure and cardiovascular diseases, yet the biological mechanisms remain underexplored. Hypoxia is a shared pathogenesis of O-associated diseases; therefore, we hypothesized that O exposure may induce changes in hypoxia-related markers, leading to adverse cardiovascular effects.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate associations of short-term O exposure with hypoxic biomarkers and arterial stiffness.
Randomized Trial: A Pilot Study Investigating the Effects of Transcendental Meditation and Yoga Through Retinal Microcirculation in Cardiac Rehabilitation.

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death, and psychosocial stress is considered a contributing factor to these issues. With the rising number of heart surgeries, proper rehabilitation post-surgery is essential. Previous studies have demonstrated the positive impact of yoga and transcendental meditation on the cardiovascular system.

Based on 28 months of ethnographic research in Deanuleahki-a river valley in Sápmi, the transborder Indigenous Sámi homeland-this article traces my interlocutors' striving to reclaim and repair ecological and kin relations through the everyday praxis of care. I trace this striving through the unmaking and remaking of local relations of care amidst encroachment by post-Second World War Nordic welfare states and regimes of environmental stewardship. I propose a dual conceptualization of ecosocial injury and resurgent care to account for, on the one hand, care's alienation from its social and ecological contexts; and, on the other, the intimate everyday labor of revivifying relations of kinship and belonging, and conditions of material livability, within local ecologies.

Article Synopsis
- Myo-inositol may help protect blood vessels from damage caused by environmental stressors, as shown in experiments with rat aortic rings and human plasma.
- The study found that higher concentrations of myo-inositol (1-100 mg/L) reduced vascular contractions and promoted relaxation, while lower doses (≤ 0.1 mg/L) showed no effects.
- Chemical analysis revealed that myo-inositol did not significantly affect physiological processes in the aortic rings during the incubation, but it did protect against oxidative stress and improve blood coagulation metrics.
Lipid-associated GWAS loci as important markers of the risk, severity, and clinical course of peripheral artery disease.
Expert Rev Mol Diagn
November 2024
Department of Biology, Medical Genetics and Ecology, Kursk State Medical University, Kursk, Russia.
Background: This study investigated the relationship between lipid-associated loci identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD), its severity, as well as clinical and laboratory features.
Research Design And Methods: A study included 1263 unrelated Russian subjects, consisting of 620 patients diagnosed with PAD and 643 healthy controls. Thirteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were genotyped using the MassArray-4 system.
