“…The stability of heart rate variability could be influenced by the degree of uterine contraction, knowledge of incoming epidural puncture, etc., resulting in variation in heart rate variability measures. The relationship between myoelectrical activity of smooth muscle and heart rate variability has been observed in the research of gastric activity [27, 28], and the high frequency power and ultra‐low frequency power of heart rate variability were found to correlate strongly with gastric myoelectrical activity. The relationship between uterine activity and heart rate variability is unknown.…”

SummaryMaternal heart rate variability of 62 parturients were compared based on their choice of using (epidural group, 44 women) or not using (control, 18 women) epidural analgesia. Baseline heart rate variability and visual analogue scores were recorded when the cervix of the parturient dilated to 2-4 cm, and paired data were collected 1 h later. We found that parturients in the epidural group had greater heart rate variability at the beginning of labour. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified percentage of absolute difference in successive RR intervals exceeding 20 ms as the best indicator of choosing epidural analgesia. Almost all heart rate variability measures were unchanged 1 h later in both groups. We concluded that parturients who chose epidural analgesia had greater heart rate variability, and that percentage of absolute difference in successive RR intervals exceeding 20 ms could reflect their likelihood of requesting epidural analgesia at the beginning of labour.

“…Comparative studies often assess the effectiveness of different noise reduction methods. Studies have mostly evaluated the efficacy of advanced signal processing techniques, such as independent component analysis (ICA) and wavelet transform, in enhancing signal quality ( 46 , 47 , 64 , 77 , 83 , 90 – 93 ).…”

Electrogastrography (EGG) is a non-invasive method with high diagnostic potential for the prevention of gastroenterological pathologies in clinical practice. In this study, a review of the measurement systems, procedures, and methods of analysis used in electrogastrography is presented. A critical review of historical and current literature is conducted, focusing on electrode placement, measurement apparatus, measurement procedures, and time-frequency domain methods of filtration and analysis of the non-invasively measured electrical activity of the stomach. As a result, 129 relevant articles with primary aim on experimental diet were reviewed in this study. Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were used to search for articles in English language, according to the specific query and using the PRISMA method. The research topic of electrogastrography has been continuously growing in popularity since the first measurement by professor Alvarez 100 years ago, and there are many researchers and companies interested in EGG nowadays. Measurement apparatus and procedures are still being developed in both commercial and research settings. There are plenty variable electrode layouts, ranging from minimal numbers of electrodes for ambulatory measurements to very high numbers of electrodes for spatial measurements. Most authors used in their research anatomically approximated layout with two++ active electrodes in bipolar connection and commercial electrogastrograph with sampling rate of 2 or 4 Hz. Test subjects were usually healthy adults and diet was controlled. However, evaluation methods are being developed at a slower pace, and usually the signals are classified only based on dominant frequency. The main review contributions include the overview of spectrum of measurement systems and procedures for electrogastrography developed by many authors, but a firm medical standard has not yet been defined. Therefore, it is not possible to use this method in clinical practice for objective diagnosis.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.prisma-statement.org/.

“…Smoking, alcohol intake, leisure-time physical activity, and weight-gain experiences were evaluated as lifestyle-related factors in the self-administered questionnaire (Nakao et al 2006) completed during the annual health examination. The questionnaire categorized smoking status as current smoker, ex-smoker, or non-smoker.…”

A focus exclusively on waist circumference, the main component used in the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MetS), may lead to ignoring non-obese individuals with other MetS components, including high levels of blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and triglycerides and low levels of high-density lipoprotein. This study investigated lifestyles and eating behaviors among non-obese individuals with components of MetS. Of the 918 Japanese male workers, 151 subjects (16.4%) had a waist circumference < 85 cm with more than one MetS component. This non-obese high-risk group for MetS gained weight in adulthood, consume alcohol, and engage in less leisure-time physical activity compared to 317 subjects (34.5%) with a waist circumference < 85 cm and without MetS components (p < 0.05). The remaining 450 subjects (49%) were obese with a waist circumference ≥ 85, including 93 men with MetS. A lack of leisure-time physical activity was associated with the non-obese high-risk group for MetS [odds ratio 1.59, 95% confidence interval 1.02 -2.49] compared to the 317 non-obese men without MetS (reference group). Such a difference in physical activity was not found between the 450 obese subjects and the reference group. Instead, eating behaviors, such as eating rapidly, preference for fatty foods, and eating out for dinner, were significantly associated with MetS. Thus, men with smaller waist circumferences and any MetS component should be carefully monitored for physical activity to prevent further development of MetS, while men with larger waist circumferences including MetS need to be monitored for unfavorable eating behaviors.
