Filter by:Individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) have to cope with drug-related cues and contexts, which can affect instrumental drug seeking as shown with Pavlovian to instrumental transfer (PIT) paradigms in animals and humans. The investigators aimed to investigate the impact of acute and chronic stress on Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT), how PIT it is associated with cognitive control abilities and whether such effects predict losing vs. regaining control in subjects with AUD. Moreover, the investigators aimed to develop a novel full transfer task that assesses both, general and specific PIT to investigate whether specific PIT differs between alcohol use disorder (AUD) and control subjects.
This project will test the ability of brief self-compassion training to attenuate physiological and subjective responses to induced stress among sexual minority women, transgender people, and nonbinary people.
The effect of the location of tetanic stimulus on photoplethysmography signals will be studied in patients under general anesthesia.
The intravenous injection of lidocaine during the perioperative period has been widely used in various types of surgeries. Its clinical effect includes reducing stress response during anesthesia, decreasing pain and opioid consumption, lowering the incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting, cognitive dysfunction, and reducing the injection pain of propofol. However, despite the positive impact of lidocaine on surgical patients, its mechanism of action remains unclear. Serum N/OFQ is a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in regulating pain and emotion. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of perioperative intravenous injection of lidocaine on stress responses in surgical patients, as well as its mechanism of action, and whether Serum N/OFQ participates in this process.
Healthcare teams often encounter challenging circumstances where they must deliver high-quality care. For a team to function effectively, its members must not only be individually competent, but they also need to collaborate and cooperate using their respective expertise. Such teams often work under high stress situations, where they need to make high stakes decisions under conditions of uncertainty, time-sensitivity and variable levels of control. Research shows that such emergency situations provoke stress responses in individuals, which can impair attention, memory, reasoning, and decision-making. However, it remains unclear how individual-level stress responses influence team communication, coordination, and performance. The aims of this study are to a) compare team coordination, communication, and performance in low stress versus high stress simulated emergency situations; and b) characterize the relationship between teams' stress profiles and the teams' performance and coordination. The study will be a within-subject experimental design, with teams serving as their own controls. Teams of emergency medicine residents and nurses will participate in two simulation scenarios: one in a low stress condition, and the other in a high stress condition (counterbalanced across the teams).
The goal of this clinical trial is to observe the effect of low dose continuous infusion of esmolol on perioperative stress response in patients undergoing airway intervention .
The current study seeks to build on previous research that demonstrates the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in combating stigma by investigating the feasibility and acceptability of a protocol to support Black adolescents and young adults in coping with race related stress. The study will consist of a small, purposeful, non-randomized sample (N = 30) of clients enrolled into a 10-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group. The group will be offered as part of regular clinical care at the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine. Three consecutive groups will be run with approximately 8-10 participants in each group over the next year.
Research has shown that activation of the sympathetic nervous system for extended periods or during certain times in life can increase the risk for Alzheimer's disease. Some research in animal models show that acute activation of the sympathetic nervous system through stress exposure can increase certain Alzheimer's disease-related biomarkers, such as amyloid-beta, within hours of exposure. However, how acute sympathetic nervous system activation via stress exposure affects amyloid-beta levels in humans has yet to be examined. In this study, the investigators will examine whether brief increases in sympathetic activation result in immediate changes in plasma amyloid-beta levels in the five hours after exposure.
The purpose of this study is to examine racial differences in smoking behaviors and stress responses between African American and white male smokers.
Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) have recently been incorporated in the French medical studies. They will soon be an important part of the national evaluation of the students, therefore being responsible for a high level of stress. The differents strategies of coping have never been characterized for this particular group of students. We hypothetize that different strategies of coping are associated with different level of stress, thus being an interesting insight to help students to deal with their stress and prevent disorders linked to stress. We will be using the Brief Cope Scale to assess the different ways of coping, in addition to multiple demographic and health-related questionnaires.
