Background: Higher cerebral blood flow (CBF) pulsatility was found to be associated with severer brain white matter lesions in the elderly [1]. It was hypothesized that the central/elastic arterial stiffness/compliance may directly affect CBF pulsatility. However, it is still unclear which carotid stiffness...

Background: In young adults, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and hypertension rates are significantly lower in females than males, although the extent to which this is due to differences in body size (body surface area; BSA) is unclear. Cardiac output (CO), a key haemodynamic determinant of SBP in young...

Nutrition Education is a basic course to support the achievement of community nutrition skill competencies for prospective nutritionists. Course achievements expect students to be able to plan, implement, and evaluate nutrition education so they need textbooks as a reference for student lectures. The...

Background: Despite a large number of studies linking cardiovascular diseases and periodontitis (Buhlin et al. 2011; Hansen et al. 2016; Pussinen et al. 2003), few studies make it possible to draw accurate conclusions on the link between periodontitis and arterial stiffness. Endothelial cells maintain...

Objective: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by noticeable neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive decline [1]. In addition, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a known etiological hallmark of AD pathogenesis [2]. Recent epidemiological evidence suggests an interplay between arterial stiffness (AS)...

Objective: The literature remains controversial on ras gene mutation prognostic significance for survival in AML and MDS. In this paper, study meta-analysis of its occurrence and prognostic relevance in acute myeloid leukemia and Myelodysplastic syndromes. Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane Library, EBSCO,...

Aims: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with dementia, and abnormal blood pressure (BP), aortic stiffness, and haemodynamics. We aimed to study the contribution of such factors to brain structure and cognition, relative to the contribution of metabolic factors in T2D such as insulin resistance and...

Background: The lower limit of cerebral autoregulation (LLA) refers to the mean blood pressure (BP) below which cerebral blood flow becomes pressure-dependent, resulting, among others, in an increased stroke risk. The LLA measured during cardiac surgery, correlates with the vascular measure Ambulatory...

To reveal the effects of the different city environment (clean area and polluted area) on native trees, leaf functional traits of six native trees in Zhanjiang were studied. The relationship between leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf functional traits were analyzed. The results showed that different leaf...

Background: Exaggerated blood pressure (BP) during submaximal exercise independently predicts cardiovascular mortality and identifies uncontrolled high BP not detected at rest. However, thresholds for submaximal exercise BP during clinical exercise testing have never been defined from a large representative...

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and central blood pressure (BP) in a nationally representative population. Methods: A total of 2029 adults without anti-hypertensive medicine, aged ≥19 years old participated in the 2013–2016 National Nutrition...

Many factors determine the growth of Indonesia’s digital economy, one of which is the co-creation strategy implemented in digital companies. Many factors, both internal and external, influence the co-creation strategy. Based on this background, this study aims to examine the influence of internal factors,...

Objective: to understand the influence of father's occupation on subjective well-being of college students with left-behind experience, and to provide reference for colleges to carry out psychological crisis intervention for college students. Methods: Through overall randomized questionnaire survey,...

The development of digital finance, by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, opens up diversified financing channels for enterprises, enhances the accessibility of enterprise financing, provides an economic foundation for enterprises to undertake social responsibilities, and makes it more likely for...

Background: Combination of insulin with oral antidiabetic drugs is a valid option, but oral combination therapy emerged as an alternative treatment in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, the effects on blood pressure (BP) and vascular function of such combination therapies is less clear. Methods: In this...

Background: Resection of a brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) can impose several post-operative challenges including post- operative haemorrhage (POH) [1]. The mechanism of such complications remains controversial although deliberately inducing hypotension has proven successful for POH prevention...

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to examine the contribution of left ventricular ejection, arterial stiffness and systemic vascular resistance to essential hypertension in children with hypertension. Methods: A total of 81 children aged 7 to 18 years (mean age 14 years) including 31 with...

Aim: To investigate PWV trajectories before and during the lockdown period among Withings Body Cardio bathroom scale users in France, in which a strict total lockdown was imposed, and Germany, in which partial social distancing measures were adopted. Methods: The study population is constituted by Withings...

This paper puts forward a joint control protocol based on binary tree conflict-resolving algorithm combined probability detection and 1-persistent CSMA. Under the protocol, all terminals use the joint control protocol of p-detection and 1-persistent to access the channel before sending information packets,...

Background: Effects of short-term interventions on large artery stiffness assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV) have mainly been explained by concomitant changes in blood pressure (BP). However, lower body negative pressure (LBNP), which increases sympathetic activity (SA) has a specific effect on PWV...
