Abstract Aims This study aimed to evaluate the effects of various exercise modalities on physical function and quality of life in individuals with heart failure and to identify the most effective approaches. Methods and results A network meta‐analysis was conducted by searching PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library databases.

Towards Continuous Skin Sympathetic Nerve Activity Monitoring: Removing Muscle Noise [PDF]
Continuous monitoring of non-invasive skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) holds promise for understanding the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) dynamics in various physiological and pathological conditions. However, muscle noise artifacts present a challenge in accurate SKNA analysis, particularly in real-life scenarios.

BUN‐to‐ALB ratio as an effective predictor of 30 day mortality in ADHF patients in eastern China
Abstract Aims The blood urea nitrogen‐to‐albumin ratio (BAR) is considered a potential indicator for assessing the poor prognosis of heart failure (HF). However, its prognostic value for Chinese patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) remains unclear.

Abstract Sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors represent one of the main cornerstones of heart failure treatment. Nevertheless, while the cardiovascular beneficial effects of these drugs have been clearly demonstrated by several clinical trials, in clinical practice, it remains challenging to identify the appropriate timing to start SGLT2 ...

Inhibition of signaling downstream of beta‐2 adrenoceptor by propranolol in prostate cancer cells
Abstract Background There is accumulating evidence that propranolol, an antagonist of beta‐1 and beta‐2 adrenoreceptors, extends survival of patients with prostate cancer; yet it is not known whether propranolol inhibits beta‐adrenergic signaling in prostate cancer cells, or systemic effects of propranolol play the leading role in slowing down cancer ...

Influence of Brainstem’s Area A5 on Sympathetic Outflow and Cardiorespiratory Dynamics
Area A5 is a noradrenergic cell group in the brain stem characterised by its important role in triggering sympathetic activity, exerting a profound influence on the sympathetic outflow, which is instrumental in the modulation of cardiovascular functions,

A Novel Approach to Characterize Dynamics of ECG-Derived Skin Nerve Activity via Time-Varying Spectral Analysis [PDF]
Assessment of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of the major approaches for studying affective states. Skin nerve activity (SKNA) derived from high-frequency components of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals has been a promising surrogate for assessing the SNS.

Current and novel biomarkers in cardiogenic shock
A summary of current and novel biomarkers and their potential stages of release in cardiogenic shock. The diagram illustrates the proposed release of the biomarkers during the different stages of cardiogenic shock: progression from cardiac dysfunction/stress, through to inflammation and end‐organ dysfunction.

Comparing the effects of intravenous injection and intranasal atomisation of detomidine in sheep
This paper compares the intravenous and intranasal routs of Detomidine administration in sheep. Abstract Background Detomidine is an α‐2 agonist sedative drug which reduces the release of norepinephrine in nerves. Administering this drug through intranasal (IN) route could cause direct transmission to the central nervous system.
