TL;DR: A microphysiological three-dimensional engineered human skeletal muscle system connected to a circulatory system that consists of a tissue-engineered blood vessel as part of a high-pressure arterial system that reproduces key mechanical behaviors of skeletal muscle in vivo is developed.

TL;DR: Delayed associations between short-term exposures to ambient PM2.5 or ozone and changes in metabolite levels of the glycine-ornithine-arginine metabolic axis and incomplete fatty acid oxidation associated with mitochondrial dysfunction are found.

TL;DR: The authors found no evidence of increased ICD shocks in patients with HF and reduced left ventricular function who underwent exercise training, and exercise therapy should not be prohibited in ICD recipients with HF.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the mild-moderate-risk patient groups indicated for lifestyle-only treatment for elevated blood pressure or cholesterol and describe recommendations, average effects, and additional considerations when prescribing lifestyle treatment with physical activity.

TL;DR: Analysis of related phenotypes identified gene-by-stress interaction effects for waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose, type II diabetes status, and common carotid intimal–medial thickness (CCIMT), supporting a proposed model of gene- by- stress interaction that connects cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor endophenotypes such as central obesity and increased blood glucose or diabetes to CVD itself.
