Stress reactivity during short trauma narratives in adolescents with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD by Oswald D. Kothgassner, Sarah Macura, Andreas Goreis, Diana Klinger, Bettina Pfeffer, Sofia M. Oehlke, Karin Prillinger, Johanna X. Kafka, Heidi Elisabeth Zesch, Anna Felnhofer, Paul L. Plener

“…However, understanding the differences in physiological stress reactivity and negative cognitive-emotional patterns between adolescents with PTSD and C-PTSD remains a notable research gap.Objective: This study examined group differences in autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity during the sharing of a short trauma narrative, including resting and recovery phases, and compared subjective experiences of stress, shame, and guilt among adolescents with PTSD, C-PTSD, and trauma-exposed controls.Methods: In a repeated-measures design, 52 adolescents (14–18 years) with PTSD (n = 17), C-PTSD (n = 18), and a control group (n = 17) were assessed for heart rate, heart rate variability, and subjective experiences of stress, shame, and guilt during a standardized trauma interview, as well as during baseline and recovery phases.Results: Linear mixed-effects models revealed a significant interaction between group and time point (F = 4.134, p < .001). …”

Conventional in vitro fertilization enhances preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy outcomes in couples with non-male factor infertility by Xiaolan Li, Qian Li, Yajie Chang, Shujing He, Yanfang Wang, Xiaoyan Liang, Zhiqiang Zhang

“…Although the 2PN fertilization rate was significantly higher in the ICSI-PGT-A group (65.88% vs. 78.46%, P < 0.001), the 2 PN fertilization rate per retrieved oocyte (65.88% vs. 60.48%, P < 0.001), transferable embryo rate on day 3 (76.67% vs. 74.38%, P = 0.029), blastocyst formation rate per 2PN zygote (51.54% vs. 48.32%, P = 0.008), blastocyst available for biopsy per 2PN zygote (35.60% vs. 29.46%, P < 0.001), and blastocyst available for biopsy per oocyte retrieved (23.45% vs. 17.82%, P < 0.001) were significantly lower in the ICSI-PGT-A group. …”

Case report: Biphasic autonomic response in decompression sickness: HRV and sinoatrial findings by Gerald Schmitz

“…BackgroundDecompression sickness (DCS) may involve neurological and cardiovascular systems, but cardiac autonomic dysfunction is rarely documented. Heart rate variability (HRV) can provide insight into autonomic modulation in such cases, particularly when incorporating advanced nonlinear and dynamic techniques.CaseWe present a 35-year-old recreational diver who developed neurological DCS and persistent bradycardia following multiple consecutive dives. …”

Frequency of fetal blood sampling, delivery mode and neonatal outcome after revised CTG‐classification and updated lactate meter in Sweden: An observational study by Klara Gröndal, Erika Gyllencreutz, Stina Wretler, Kari Johansson, Malin Holzmann

“…We hypothesized that with the revised CTG classification, which accepts more fetal heart rate patterns as normal than the previous, the frequency of FBS would be lower, the proportion of acidemia at FBS and adverse neonatal outcomes would be higher among sampled fetuses, but not among the entire laboring population, and the higher lactate readings might increase the proportion of cesarean delivery in general anesthesia and cesarean delivery above vacuum extraction. …”

“…In contrast, the North Hengshan fault exhibits the lowest CoV value, indicating relatively stable seismicity and a quasi-periodic pattern. Correlation analysis between fault slip rates and recurrence interval variability reveals that faults with lower slip rates tend to exhibit stronger clustering behavior, while faults with higher slip rates tend to exhibit a more pronounced quasi-periodic pattern. …”
