Box breathing or six breaths per minute: Which strategy improves athletes post-HIIT cardiovascular recovery?. Post-exercise recovery strategies are critical for athletic performance, yet the acute effects of controlled breathing techniques (box breathing vs. 6 bpm [6 breaths/min]) following high-intensity interval training (HIIT) remain understudied. This study compared three breathing protocols’ impact on cardiovascular and perceptual recovery metrics. In a randomized crossover design, 40 physically active university students (25 males, 15 females; age 20.95 ± 1.75 years) completed three HIIT sessions on a spin bike (15 min, 1:2 work: rest ratio at 85–95% HRmax). One of three recovery brea…

Clinical findings and risk factors for clinical outcomes in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease hospitalized for cardiogenic pulmonary edema.. Background Cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) is a serious development for dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). Due to the hemodynamic impact of MMVD, and changes in left atrial pressure and pulmonary capillary pressure, CPE commonly requires hospitalization. Hypothesis/objectives To characterize clinical findings particularly in respiratory rate and breathing effort in dogs with MMVD hospitalized with CPE and assess them as risk factors focusing on selected clinical outcomes. Animals 100 dogs with MMVD hospitalized with CPE were in…

Development of remote radar based vital sign acquisition for emergency department patient triage.. Introduction To enable remote acquisition of patients' vital signs, ELTA Systems Ltd. developed a Radar remote vital signs acquisition system (TAMAR). The system identifies chest and neck respiratiory movements and pulse wave movements, enabling quantification of respiratory and pulse rates. The validation process of the TAMAR system is reported. Methods A multicenter, prospective observational study was performed, enrolling low acuity patients who presented to 3 Emergency Departments. Patients provided consent and had their pulse and respiratory rates simultaneously measured by the TAMAR rada…

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure used during cardiac or respiratory arrest that involves chest compressions, often combined with artificial ventilation, to preserve brain function and maintain circulation until spontaneous breathing and heartbeat can be restored. It is recommended for those who are unresponsive with no breathing or abnormal breathing, for example, agonal respirations. CPR involves chest compressions for adults between 5 cm (2.0 in) and 6 cm (2.4 in) deep and at a rate of at least 100 to 120 per minute. The rescuer may also provide artificial ventilation by either exhaling air into the subject's mouth or nose (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) or usi…
