Cardiac sympathetic activation and parasympathetic withdrawal during psychosocial stress exposure in 6‐month‐old infants

2020

Infant autonomic reactivity to stress is a potential predictor of later life health complications, but research has not sufficiently examined sympathetic activity, controlled for effects of physical activity and respiration, or studied associations among autonomic adjustments, cardiac activity, and affect in infants. We studied 278 infants during the repeated Still-Face Paradigm, a standardized stressor, while monitoring cardiac activity (ECG) and respiratory pattern (respiratory inductance plethysmography). Video ratings of physical activity and affect were also performed. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and T-wave amplitude (TWA) served as noninvasive indicators of cardiac parasympathe…

S2k-Leitlinie zur Diagnostik und Therapie von Patienten mit Asthma

2017

ZusammenfassungDie vorliegende Leitlinie ist eine Neufassung und Aktualisierung der Leitlinie zur Diagnostik und Therapie von Patienten mit Asthma, welche die bisher für den deutschen Sprachraum gültige Version aus dem Jahr 2006 ablöst. Die Fülle an neuen Erkenntnissen zur Pathophysiologie und zu den Phänotypen von Asthma und das erweiterte Spektrum an diagnostischen und therapeutischen Möglichkeiten bei dieser Erkrankung machte eine Neufassung und Aktualisierung notwendig. Es werden sowohl für Kinder und Jugendliche als auch für Erwachsene mit Asthma die aktuellen, Evidenz-basierten diagnostischen und therapeutischen Empfehlungen dargelegt.

Integrated and diurnal indices of maternal pregnancy cortisol in relation to sex-specific parasympathetic responsivity to stress in infants.

2020

Maternal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity may prenatally program sex-specific stress response pathways. We investigated associations between maternal cortisol during pregnancy and infant parasympathetic responsivity to stress among 204 mother-infant pairs. Cortisol indices included 3(rd) trimester hair cortisol, as well as diurnal slope and area under the curve, derived from saliva samples collected during pregnancy. Mother-infant dyads participated in the Repeated Still-Face Paradigm (SFP-R) at age 6 months. We calculated respiration-adjusted respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA(c)), an indicator of parasympathetic activation, from infant respiration and cardiac activity mea…
