Aim. The paper aims to analyze the effect of traditional massage on functional recovery of the cardiovascular system in adolescent females involved in running sports. Materials and methods. A 10-day traditional back and neck massage program was used as a recovery technique. The indicators of the central and peripheral circulation, the time and frequency characteristics of the heart rate, as well as finger pulse amplitude were obtained before and after the program. Results. After traditional massage, adolescent females involved in running sports demonstrate a decrease in heart rate, which is associated with a decrease in sympathoadrenal regulation of chronotropic heart function (a decrease in VLF, a decrease in the amplitude of dominant VLF and LF harmonics). Regression and canonical analysis shows that heart rate dependence of the activity of regulation levels changes. There is an increase in peripheral blood circulation and a decrease in blood pressure associated with both humoral and metabolic factors and a decrease in sympathoadrenal influences, which is confirmed by an analysis of pulse amplitude variability. It is shown that the dynamics of the time and frequency characteristics of VLF range is a marker of physiological changes in blood circulation after massage therapy. Conclusion. The effect of traditional massage on the blood circulation of adolescent females involved in running sports is associated with adaptation to massage effects and is manifested by changes in the neurohumoral regulation of hemodynamics.

Physiological responses associated with the ratings of musical stimuli were investigated. For 101 university music and biology students in the experimental group, heart rate, blood pressure, and finger temperature were measured before and after listening to about 10 min. of music (Venus and Jupiter from Holst's The Planets) in an anechoic chamber. They also served as their own controls by sitting in silence for about 10 min. No significant differences were found on the three measures for the two musical stimuli between the musical or control conditions or between the two majors.

ABSTRACTDuring general anesthesia, both behavioral and autonomic changes are caused by the administration of anesthetics such as propofol. Propofol produces unconsciousness by creating highly structured oscillations in brain circuits. The anesthetic also has autonomic effects due to its actions as a vasodilator and myocardial depressant. Understanding how autonomic dynamics change in relation to propofol-induced unconsciousness is an important scientific and clinical question since anesthesiologists often infer changes in level of unconsciousness from changes in autonomic dynamics. Therefore, we present a framework combining physiology-based statistical models that have been developed specifically for heart rate variability and electrodermal activity with a robust statistical tool to compare behavioral and multimodal autonomic changes before, during, and after propofol-induced unconsciousness. We tested this framework on physiological data recorded from nine healthy volunteers during computer-controlled administration of propofol. We studied how autonomic dynamics related to behavioral markers of unconsciousness: 1) overall, 2) during the transitions of loss and recovery of consciousness, and 3) before and after anesthesia as a whole. Our results show a strong relationship between behavioral state of consciousness and autonomic dynamics. All of our prediction models showed areas under the curve greater than 0.75 despite the presence of non-monotonic relationships among the variables during the transition periods. Our analysis highlighted the specific roles played by fast versus slow changes, parasympathetic vs sympathetic activity, heart rate variability vs electrodermal activity, and even pulse rate vs pulse amplitude information within electrodermal activity. Further advancement upon this work can quantify the complex and subject-specific relationship between behavioral changes and autonomic dynamics before, during, and after anesthesia. However, this work demonstrates the potential of a multimodal, physiologically-informed, statistical approach to characterize autonomic dynamics.

Abstract Background Many studies have reported specific adaptations to high altitude, but few studies have focused on physiological variations in high-altitude adaptation in Andean highlanders. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between SpO2 and related factors, including individual variations and sex differences, in Andean highlanders. Methods The participants were community-dwelling people in La Paz, Bolivia, aged 20 years and over (age range 20–34 years). A total of 50 men and 50 women participated in this study. Height, weight, SpO2, hemoglobin concentration, finger temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure were measured. Information about lifestyle was also obtained by interview. Results There were individual variations of SpO2 both in men (mean 89.9%, range 84.0–95.0%) and women (mean 91.0%, range 84.0–96.0%). On Student’s t test, men had significantly lower heart rate (p = 0.046) and SpO2 (p = 0.030) than women. On the other hand, men had significantly higher SBP (p < 0.001), hemoglobin (p < 0.001), and finger temperature (p = 0.004). In men, multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that a higher SpO2 was correlated with a lower heart rate (β = − 0.089, p = 0.007) and a higher finger temperature (β = 0.308, p = 0.030) (r2 for model = 0.18). In women, a higher SpO2 was significantly correlated with a higher finger temperature (β = 0.391, p = 0.015) (r2 for model = 0.12). A higher SpO2 was related to a higher finger temperature (β = 0.286, p = 0.014) and a lower heart rate (β = − 0.052, p = 0.029) in all participants (r2 for model = 0.21). Residual analysis showed that individual SpO2 values were randomly plotted. Conclusion Random plots of SpO2 on residual analysis indicated that these variations were random error, such as biological variation. A higher SpO2 was related to a lower heart rate and finger temperature in men, but a higher SpO2 was related to finger temperature in women. These results suggest that there are individual variations and sex differences in the hemodynamic responses of high-altitude adaptation in Andean highlanders.

Objective. To explore the effect of high-flow humidified oxygen therapy (HFNC) on patients with respiratory failure after general anesthesia extubation for multiple injuries. Methods. 214 patients with multiple injuries in our hospital who underwent general anesthesia and suffered respiratory failure after weaning extubation and received sequential treatment were included. And, they were divided into control group (HFNC group) and observation group (NIMV group) according to the random number table method. Patients in the control group (125 cases) used high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) after general anesthesia extubation, while patients in the observation group (89 cases) used NIMV. The respiratory rate, heart rate, finger pulse oxygen, oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), and re-tracheal intubation rate in the two groups were compared at 2, 8, and 24 hours after sequential treatment, and the mortality rate and hospital stay of ICU time were whole-course observation. And, the effect of conventional oxygen inhalation or HFNC on oxygenation and prognosis was analyzed. Then, SPSS21.0 software was applied for statistical analysis. To analyze the effect of conventional oxygen inhalation or HFNC on the improvement of oxygenation and prognosis, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve can be used to evaluate the feasibility and treatment effect of high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNC) for patients with respiratory failure after general anesthesia extubation for multiple injuries. Results. Compared with the NIMV group, the respiratory frequency and heart rate of the HFNC group were significantly improved after 2 h, 8 h, and 24 h. At the same time, the finger pulse oxygen and oxygenation index increased significantly and returned to normal levels. HFNC can significantly reduce the reintubation rate, ICU hospital stay, and mortality rate. The area under the ROC curve was 0.9102, with 95% CI (0.8256, 0.9949) and P < 0.0001 . Conclusion. For patients with multiple injuries undergoing general anesthesia and respiratory failure after weaning and extubation, the application of HFNC can moderate patients’ heart rate and respiratory rate faster, increase oxygenation index and finger pulse oxygen, and reduce the reintubation rate, mortality rate, and ICU stay. At the same time, it can effectively improve the respiratory failure of patients after extubation and reduce the occurrence of complications.
