Results of a new study suggest that the opioid overdose reversal medication naloxone could ultimately prove to have an important role in cardiac arrest care, one possibly not limited to cardiac arrests involving opioids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Breathwork is a scientifically-backed method for relieving stress and anxiety. Slow-paced breathing has been found to lower cortisol levels, modulate the autonomic nervous system, and increase heart rate variability. By consciously controlling our breath, we can influence our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Breathwork can be practiced anywhere and at any time, and there are various techniques available to suit individual preferences. In addition to breathwork, other stress-reducing activities include going for a walk, spending time in nature, practicing gratitude, engaging in artistic activities, stretching, listening to music, and engaging in self-care activities such as petting animals or using lavender essential oil.

Traditional medicine is a frequently utilized method to treat cardiovascular disease and its primary risk factors, including hypertension and dyslipidemia. Aloysia polystachya is a species that is commonly employed to treat various pathological conditions, and it has already been identified as having some cardioprotective effects. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of the essential oil extracted from the leaves of A. polystachya in a rat model that simulates multiple cardiovascular risk factors. We evaluate the acute toxicity, as well as the cardioprotective effects, by giving different doses of A. polystachya essential oil (1.47 mg/kg, 4.40 mg/kg, and 13.20 mg/kg) over a period of 42 days. The control group was treated with rosuvastatin (5 mg/kg). At the end of the treatments, the renal function, electrocardiography, blood pressure, vascular reactivity, serum biochemical profile, and organ histopathology were evaluated. The main compounds identified in the essential oil of A. polystachya using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry were beta-myrcene (1.08%), limonene (40.13%), and carvone (56.47%). The essential oil of A. polystachya not only lacks acute toxicity but also mitigates the reduction in the excretion of sodium, chloride, and creatinine in urine. Furthermore, it reduces electrocardiographic abnormalities and decreases blood pressure levels. Moreover, this treatment prevents an elevation in markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in the bloodstream. Our findings indicate significant cardioprotective effects of the essential oil of A. polystachya against multiple risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in hypertensive rats.

The article discusses the practice of forest bathing, which originated in Japan in the 1980s as a response to overpopulation, urban crowding, and technology overload. Forest bathing involves intentionally detaching from daily life and immersing oneself in nature to enhance mental and physical health. Studies have shown that forest bathing can reduce stress, improve mood, and increase feelings of vigor. The article emphasizes the importance of engaging the senses while forest bathing and highlights the potential benefits for individuals of all ages, including children, older adults, and those suffering from mental illness.

It has been applied not only to organisms and their microbiomes, but also to parasites that can't survive outside their hosts, to colonial organisms like corals, and even to entire ecosystems. DEFINING LIFE From the tallest tree to the tiniest bacterium, all living things share some common ground. Over the past three decades, discoveries of (comparatively) giant viruses, the size of some bacteria and containing DNA and more complex structures than the simple "bad news wrapped in protein" model, have made the distinction between viruses and living things even blurrier. What's more, when the genes to create this protein are put into another organism like a yeast or bacteria, that organism takes on the tardigrade's drying-resistant superpowers.

A clinical study was conducted on the efficacy of Blushield, an EMF protection device, on egg-laying chickens. The study found that after using Blushield, the mortality rate of the chickens decreased, egg production increased, and the quality of the eggs improved. Additionally, Blushield was found to have positive effects on cognitive function, sleep quality, heart rate variability, blood glucose levels, and immune markers in humans. The study concludes that Blushield devices are safe and can be a part of a comprehensive strategy to mitigate RF exposure. [Extracted from the article]

This article presents a look at various types of computational photography, including Near-infrared or NIR cameras, radio waves, and optical coherence tomography. Areas of medical care where these methods are applied include cardiac cycle measurement, retinal imaging, blood pressure determination, and glucose monitoring. Computational photography allows for remote access to the devices as well as safety and comfort for patients but disadvantages include limited amount of light scattering and potentially inaccurate measurement in patient's with dark skin types.

Objective: Providing safe patient care while decreasing alarm fatigue when using continuous heart rate and respiratory rate monitoring is a delicate balance. Is it possible to adjust pediatric alarm parameters in an acute care neuroscience unit safely, while reducing the risk for alarm fatigue and desensitization? Methods: Alarms on an acute care pediatric neuroscience unit within a children's specialty hospital were monitored from a central monitoring system for all children using continuous heart and respiratory rate monitors for three weeks. Data collected included heart rate and respiratory rate during a sounding alarm whether an intervention was necessary or not, the age of the patient, the condition for which the patient was admitted, and the current alarm parameters set. Results: It was determined that the current age-based protocol +/-15% was safe and effective in decreasing non-actionable alarms by 43% and maintaining safety with zero actionable alarms during the time period of this project. Discussion: Allowing nursing to use critical thinking to adjust heart rate and respiratory rate parameters by +/-15% of the age-based protocol provides a safe and effective method in reducing alarm fatigue while maintaining patient safety. Keywords: Alarm fatigue, patient safety, alarm parameters, alarm desensitization., Many strategies have been implemented to alleviate alarm fatigue, yet the issue prevails in the acute care setting. Current recommendations for alarm parameters in the pediatric population does not capture [...]
