Thermomechanical stress analyses of nanowarming-assisted recovery from cryopreservation by vitrification in human heart and rat heart models. by Purva Joshi, Yoed Rabin

“…This investigation demonstrates the need to tailor the thermal protocol of heart cryopreservation on a case-by-case basis, since the location, orientation, magnitude, and instant at which the maximum mechanical stress is found cannot be predicted a priori. While thermomechanical stress poses a significant risk to organ integrity, careful design of the thermal protocol can be instrumental in reducing the likelihood of structural damage, while taking full advantage of the benefits of nanowarming.…”

The untapped potential for healthcare to support recovery for patients with stress-related exhaustion disorder – creating an experience of generalised safety by Susanne Ellbin, Agneta Lindegård, Fredrik Bååthe

“…This created an experience of unsafety, and that could inadvertently maintain the stress response and negatively influence recovery for patients with stress‑related disorders.Conclusion It is paramount to convey an experience of predictability, despite the fact that patients undergo an unpredictable process related to their ED illness. …”

Exploring the impact of a brief positive experience on dogs' performance and stress resilience during a learning task. by Julia Miller, Camila Cavalli, Amin Azadian, Alexandra Protopopova

“…These dogs also spent a significantly higher proportion of time in proximity to their owners, which could be interpreted as reassurance-seeking behaviour. Contrary to our predictions, exposure to a brief positive experience did not impact learning and, surprisingly, seemed to have made dogs more susceptible to stress during the Disruption phase. …”
