Gaba-producing lactobacilli boost cognitive reactivity to negative mood without improving cognitive performance: A human Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Cross-Over study

BackgroundPsychobiotic bacteria are probiotics able to influence stress-related behavior, sleep, and cognitive outcomes. Several in vitro and human studies were performed to assess their physiological potential, to find strains having psychotropic activity in humans, and to elucidate the metabolic pathways involved. In our previous in vitro study, we identified two strains Levilactobacillus brevis P30021 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum P30025, able to produce GABA and acetylcholine, being promising candidates to provide an effect on mood and cognitive performance. AimTo investigate the effects of probiotics in the alleviation on the cognitive performance of moderately stressed healthy adults. Secondary outcomes were related to mood improvement, production of GABA, glutamate, acetylcholine, and choline and modification of the microbiota composition. MethodsA 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study investigated the effects of a probiotic formulation (Levilactobacillus brevis P30021 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum P30025) on psychological, memory, and cognition parameters in 44 (Probiotic = 44, Placebo = 43) adults with a mean age of 29 ± 5.7 years old by CogState Battery test. Subjects-inclusion criteria was a mild-moderate (18.7 ± 4.06) stress upon diagnosis using the DASS-42 questionnaire. ResultsProbiotic treatment had no effect on subjective stress measures. The probiotic formulation showed a significant beneficial effect on depressive symptoms by reducing cognitive reactivity to sad mood (p = 0.034). Rumination significantly improved after intake of the probiotic (p = 0.006), suggesting a potential benefit in reducing the negative cognitive effects associated with depression and improving overall mental health. When stratifying the treated subjects according to the response, we found an increase in the abundance of the probiotic genera in the gut microbiota of positive responders (p = 0.009 for Lactiplantibacillus and p = 0.004 for L.brevis). No relevant correlations were observed between the neurotransmitter concentration in the faecal sample, scores of LEIDS, DASS-42, and cognitive tests. ConclusionWe highlight the potential of this probiotic preparation to act as psycobiotics for the relief of negative mood feelings. The assessment of the psychotropic effects of dietary interventions in human participants has many challenges. Further interventional studies investigating the effect of these psychobiotic bacteria in populations with stressed-related disorders are required including longer period of intervention and larger sample size in order to verify the effects of the treatment on further stress-related indicators.

Conclusion: The current study reports that Ramadan fasting was proven to reduce the anxiety scores of all students including those who experienced anxiety and normal subjects.

Differences Between Spiritual Mindfulness and Mindfulness Caring in Reducing Academic Pathological Stress in Nursing Students

Introduction:Academic pathological stress currently often occurs in students. Mindfulness-based therapy has proven effective in reducing pathological stress among nursing students. Methods: However, there are several differences in the methods of administering mindfulness therapy, so further research is needed to find out these differences. This research aims to determine the difference in the influence of spiritual mindfulness and caring mindfulness in reducing pathological stress in nursing students. This study employed a pre-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group. The sample was taken using a purposive sampling technique with the inclusion criteria of final-level Nursing undergraduate students who experienced academic pathological stress and were willing respondents (n=36). The sample was then randomly divided into 2 groups, namely spiritual mindfulness (n =18) and mindfulness caring (n=18). Data on pathological stress were collected using the questions in the DASS-42 questionnaire, which are 14 questions about pathological stress. Data analysis used paired t-tests and unpaired t-tests. Results:This research found that both interventions can reduce pathological stress in nursing students. However, there was a difference between spiritual mindfulness intervention (Mean ± SD = 11.39 ± 5.81) and mindfulness caring (Mean ± SD = 16.39 ± 3.55) with a mean difference of 6.38 and a p-value <0.001. Conclusion:In conclusion, although the two interventions provided effective results in reducing academic pathological stress in respondents, it was found that spiritual mindfulness was more able to reduce aggressive stress responses in nursing students. Further research is recommended to reevaluate the sample group, incorporating individuals with diverse mental health issues for re-testing

Parental stress parameter difference after caring for congenital adrenal hyperplasia children with genital ambiguity

Abstract Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) disrupts cortisol biosynthesis, which may cause genital ambiguity in females. Caring for children with genital ambiguity creates parental distress. Common stress parameters include biological (e.g., serotonin cortisol) and psychological (e.g., Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale [DASS] scores). This study elaborated parental stress parameter differences among parents of CAH children with and without genital ambiguity. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 34 fathers and 44 mothers of children with CAH. All participants agreed to fill in the DASS-42 and socioeconomic questionnaire. Morning serum serotonin and cortisol samples were examined using the enzyme-linked immune-absorbent assay technique. Results: The median (minimum–maximum) value of serotonin concentration was lower in fathers compared to mothers (281.18 [78.44–122.91] ng/ml vs. 399.78 [122.91–1050.0] ng/ml, P = 0.11); in parents of children with genital ambiguity (292.22 [78.44–1050.00] ng/ml vs. 426.71 [150.78–1050.00] ng/ml, P = 0.01); and in parents of children with a diagnosis time <1 year (225.00 [93.41–570.33] ng/ml vs. 371.815 [78.44–1050.00] ng/ml, P = 0.046). Higher cortisol concentration was observed in parents of children with diagnosis time <1 year (78.65 [50.89–126.89] ng/ml vs. 63.33 [6.14–283.67] ng/ml, P = 0.046). The proportion of depression was 24.4%, anxiety 45.1%, and stress 21.8%. Conclusion: Fathers, parents of children with genital ambiguity, and being recently diagnosed had lower serum serotonin levels. Parents of recently diagnosed children had higher cortisol levels. Anxiety was more common than depression and stress.

Understanding the Male Perspective: Evaluating Quality of Life and Psychological Distress in Serbian Men Undergoing Infertility Treatment.

The experience of an infertility diagnosis and treatment imposes a profound burden on affected individuals, encompassing not only physical and medical aspects but also a plethora of psychological, social, and emotional factors. By employing a multimodal assessment featuring validated self-report questionnaires, physical measurements, and clinical records, the present study aimed to explore the quality of life and psycho-emotional distress of men undergoing infertility treatment in Serbia, thereby addressing the dearth of research on the underrepresented male perspective in this domain. Findings revealed diverse semen abnormalities among participants (n = 96, average age 37.69 ± 5.72), with significant associations between longer treatment durations and reduced sperm motility. The observed rates of men surpassing predetermined DASS-42 questionnaire thresholds for depression, anxiety, and stress in the analyzed cohort were 13.54%, 11.46%, and 22.92%, respectively. Summary scores in conceptual areas comprised in the SF-36 questionnaire ranged from 49.00 ± 6.25 for the mental health dimension to 90.16 ± 17.75 obtained in the physical functioning subscale. Patients with a longer treatment duration demonstrated lower scores in the role emotional domain, indicative of a less favorable emotional state. Expectedly, inverse correlations were found between the SF-36 mental health score and DASS-42 subscales. By addressing the existing knowledge gap and highlighting the unique needs of infertile men, the finding of this study may contribute to a more inclusive and holistic approach to infertility research and management.

An overview of anxiety levels of Muhammadiyah citizens against COVID-19 vaccination in Surabaya

Since the publication of PERMENKES Number 10 of 2021 on the implementation of vaccinations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the community, particularly Muhammadiyah residents, has responded. Most Muhammadiyah residents do not have anxiety about COVID-19 vaccination because people are starting to realize the importance and benefits of vaccination. Even though vaccination activities have been going on for a long time, there are still people who feel anxious about the COVID-19 vaccination. The anxiety experienced by respondents is a natural thing because the current pandemic is a new type of disease that has never been experienced before. Numerous media outlets produce a lot of news that has the potential to change how the public feels about vaccines. Anxiety can be brought on by the general public's poor impression of immunizations. The process of immunizing will be hampered by the onset of fear. The study aimed to describe the amount of COVID-19 vaccination-related anxiety among Muhammadiyah inhabitants in Surabaya. This study, a descriptive study with 100 respondents, used probability sampling using a stratified random sampling technique. The DASS-42 questionnaire was utilized as the data-gathering tool. The findings revealed that 77 persons (77 percent) and 23 people did not experience any abnormal levels of vaccination fear (23 percent). According to the study's findings, the majority of Muhammadiyah inhabitants did not experience fear related to receiving a COVID-19 immunization since people were starting to understand the significance and advantages of vaccination. Although COVID-19 immunization campaigns have been ongoing for a while, some people still experience anxiety. Respondents' fear is understandable given that the present epidemic is a brand-new disease that has never been seen before.

Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 During COVID-19: Psychological Symptoms and Eating Attitudes.

Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 is a chronic metabolic disorder, the treatment of which extremely burdens the patient. The lockdown, as a measure to prevent the spreading of the 2019 coronavirus disease, was a major challenge for the general public. People with chronic diseases, such as T1D patients, have complex emotional and psychological needs and are at increased risk for both depressive symptoms and anxiety. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of body mass index of T1D patients on the psychological symptoms and eating habits, as well as the prognostic factors of the psychological symptoms during the lockdown period. Diabetes mellitus patients were invited to complete this survey from the outpatient Diabetes clinic of the General Hospital of Chania and the "AHEPA" General University Hospital of Thessaloniki in Greece. Psychological symptoms were assessed using the DASS-42 questionnaire, and eating habits were assessed using the EAT-26 questionnaire. Overall, 112 T1D patients were analyzed (response rate: 28.8%). Obese T1D patients appear to be at greater risk of developing psychological symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Furthermore, disordered eating behaviors and bulimia and food preoccupation subscale are associated with psychological symptoms. The findings suggest that obese T1D patients are at greater risk of developing psychological symptoms. Moreover, when an eating disorder is triggered, negative psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety are reduced. The results of this study may guide targeted interventions among T1D patients.
