Background: It is known that acceleration and deceleration patterns in heart rate variability (HRV) are asymmetrically distributed in healthy subjects. Accordingly, novel approaches for assessing the asymmetrical properties of HRV, such as the multiscale asymmetry (MSA), have been applied in the perinatal field.

Objective: To study the asymmetry of accelerations and decelerations of maternal short-term cardiac dynamics of thirty-six normotensive and preeclamptic women during labor/nonlabor by MSA analysis.

The fetal autonomic nervous system responds to uterine contractions during active labor as identified by changes in the accelerations and decelerations of fetal heart rate (FHR). Thus, this exploratory study aimed to characterize the asymmetry differences of beat-to-beat FHR accelerations and decelerations in preterm and term fetuses during active labor. In an observational study, we analyzed 10 min of fetal R-R series collected from women during active preterm labor (32-36 weeks of pregnancy, n = 17) and active term labor (38-40 weeks of pregnancy, n = 27).

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers conducted experiments on alloxan-induced diabetic mice, where the extract was administered for 30 days, and various methods were used to analyze liver glycogen content and enzyme activity.
  • * Results showed that the extract contains five key compounds, leading to liver glycogen accumulation and protective effects on liver architecture, suggesting a potential mechanism for its hypoglycemic properties.

The effect of pH, C/N ratio, addition of a microbial consortium (MC) and temperature upon mineralisation of Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) was studied; mineralisation was measured through the CO2 production rate and total CO2 formation. Through this process up to 432.9mg of CO2g(-1) initial dry matter (IDM) after 2days of treatment was obtained.
