Cardiovascular drift (CV-Drift) may occur after the ~10th min of submaximal continuous exercising. The purpose of this study was to examine whether CV-Drift is prevented by an intermittent exercise modality, instead of a continuous exercise. Seven we...

Cardiovascular drift—a progressive increase in heart rate (HR) and decrease in stroke volume (SV) during prolonged exercise—is exacerbated by heat stress and thermal strain, and often accompanied by a decrease in work capacity (indexed as...
The heart rate slow component (scHR) is an intensity-dependent HR increment that emerges during constant exercises, partially dissociated from metabolism (V˙O2). The scHR has been observed during constant-workload exercise in young and older adu...

Although the marathon race has been democratized, it remains complex due to the famous “hitting the wall” phenomenon after the 25th km. To characterize this “wall” from a physiological and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) pers...
The constant advances being made in cardiovascular (CVD) medicine highlight its holistic nature, drifting away from strict traditional approaches [...]

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Low whole-grain intake is found to be one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease development and progression. In this study, we focused on exploring the long...
This investigation describes a detailed analysis of the fabrication and testing of optical fibre pressure and temperature sensors (OFPTS). The optical sensor of this research is based on an extrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometer (EFPI) with integrated...
ECG signal processing is an important basis for the prevention and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases; however, the signal is susceptible to noise interference mixed with equipment, environmental influences, and transmission processes. In this pape...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which remain globally one of the most common causes of death, are usually diagnosed based on the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. To support human experts, modern deep-learning models are used for CVD classification pro...

Cardiovascular patients consult doctors for advice regarding regular exercise, whereas obese patients must self-manage their weight. Because a system for permanently monitoring and tracking patients’ exercise intensities and workouts is necessary, a...
Although there is evidence supporting the benefit of regular exercise, and recommendations about exercise and physical activity, the process of individually prescribing exercise following exercise testing is more difficult. Guidelines like % heart ra...
Exercise prescription based on exercise test results is complicated by the need to downregulate the absolute training intensity to account for cardiovascular drift in order to achieve a desired internal training load. We tested a recently developed g...
Arrhythmia detection in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is essential for monitoring cardiovascular health. Current automated arrhythmia classification methods frequently encounter difficulties in detecting multiple cardiac abnormalities, particularly...
Zhejiang Ophiopogonjaponicus (ZOJ) is a specific variety of Ophiopogon japonicus with characteristic steroidal saponins and homoisoflavonoids, which are also main pharmacodynamic constituents with clinical effects, including curing inflammation and c...
Wearable and implantable Lab-on-Chip (LoC) biosensors are revolutionizing healthcare by enabling continuous, real-time monitoring of physiological and biochemical parameters in non-clinical settings. These miniaturized platforms integrate sample hand...
Background: Nocturnal hypoxemia has been linked to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Several common diseases, such as sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), heart failure (HF), obesity, and pulmonary disease, coincide with an elevated noct...
Cardiovascular disorders are often diagnosed using an electrocardiogram (ECG). It is a painless method that mimics the cyclical contraction and relaxation of the heart’s muscles. By monitoring the heart’s electrical activity, an ECG can b...
Background and Objectives: Prematurity of birth occurs before the 37th week of gestation and affects up to 10% of births worldwide. It is correlated with critical outcomes; therefore, constant monitoring in neonatal intensive care units or home envir...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by an association of cardiovascular and diabetes mellitus type 2 risk factors. Although the definition of MetS slightly differs depending on the society that described it, its central diagnostic criteria inc...
Background/Objectives: Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) and folate (vitamin B9) are essential cofactors in one-carbon metabolism required for DNA synthesis, methylation, and genomic stability. Deficiencies in these nutrients can cause megaloblastic anemia, ne...
Diabetes is a growing global health concern, affecting millions and leading to severe complications if not properly managed. The primary challenge in diabetes management is maintaining blood glucose levels (BGLs) within a safe range to prevent compli...
With the discovery of insulin came a deeper understanding of therapeutic options for one of the most devastating chronic diseases of the modern era, diabetes mellitus. The use of insulin in the treatment of diabetes, especially in those with severe i...
