Developmental exposure to arsenic reduces anxiety levels and leads to a depressive-like behavior in female offspring rats: Molecular changes in the prefrontal cortex

Exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) detrimentally affects the structure and function of the central nervous system. In-utero and postnatal exposure to iAs has been connected to adverse effects on cognitive development. Therefore, this investigation explores neurobehavioral and neurochemical effects of 0.05 and 0.10 mg/L iAs exposure during gestation and lactation periods on 90-day-old female offspring rats. The assessment of anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors was conducted through the application of an elevated plus maze and a forced swim test. The neurochemical changes were evaluated in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) through the determination of enzyme activities and α1 GABAA subunit expression levels. Our findings revealed a notable impact of iAs exposure on anxiety and the induction of depressive-like behavior in 90-day-old female offspring. Furthermore, the antioxidant status within the PFC exhibited discernible alterations in exposed rats. Notably, the activities of acetylcholinesterase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase demonstrated an increase, while glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase activity displayed a decrease within the PFC due to the iAs treatment. Additionally, a distinct downregulation in the mRNA expression of the α1GABAA receptor was observed in this neuronal region. These findings strongly suggest that iAs exposure during early stages of rat development causes significant modifications in brain oxidative stress markers and perturbs the activity of enzymes associated with cholinergic and glutamatergic systems. In parallel, it elicits a discernible reduction in the level of GABA receptors within the PFC. These molecular alterations may play a role in the diminished anxiety levels and the depressive-like behavior outlined in the current investigation.

Immediate mental health status of refugees during the Ukrainian armed conflict of 2022.

The study assessed stressors and the immediate mental health status of the Ukrainian refugees during the ongoing Ukrainian armed conflict of 2022 and analyzed strategies for reducing anxiety levels. The questionnaire-based prospective study was undertaken in Lviv, Ukraine (five study groups) and Israel (two groups) among 27,901 refugees and 1,259 controls. We assessed the levels of anxiety with General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7; score range = 0-21, mild to severe) and Refugees' Anxiety Reasons-6 (RAR-6) with a score ranging from 30 (no anxiety) to 6 (extreme anxiety) questionnaires. RAR-6 assessed worries about personal safety, money matters, relatives under fire, the future of the country, limited medications, and general mental fatigue. The study involved refugees in the migration phase and internally displaced persons. The GAD-7 score of 16.1 ± 2.6 (severe anxiety) showed that all participants experienced anxiety during current hostilities. The RAR-6 score of 21.8 ± 1.7 demonstrated that participants worried about numerous acute problems, but the results varied from group to group. The refugees who moved abroad independently and without a clear goal had the worst GAD-7 score of 19.4 ± 1.7. The refugees who traveled abroad in a group-organized manner had the best RAR-6 score of 24.8 ± 1.5, while passing through Lviv refugees had the worst RAR-6 score of 19.0 ± 1.6 (p = .03). During hostilities, refugees, internally displaced persons, and regular inhabitants are mentally affected to varying degrees. For refugees, group-organized travel abroad is the best option to maintain adequate mental health, followed by an internal refugee status and traveling abroad independently (the worst strategy).

Beyond sight: Comparing traditional virtual reality and immersive multi-sensory environments in stress reduction of university students

IntroductionThis study aims to assess the efficacy of traditional virtual reality (VR) and Immersive Multi-sensory Environments (IME) in mitigating anxiety levels among university students. The study can address the following research questions: 1) What disparities exist in anxiety levels before and after exposure to traditional VR and IME? 2) How do anxiety levels compare between participants exposed to IME and those in a VR environment?MethodsThe research adopted a twophase approach involving participants exhibiting moderate to high-stress levels. In the second phase, participants were randomly assigned to either a VR group (solely visual stimulation) or an IME group (comprising visual, auditory, and olfactory stimuli). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were utilized to assess stress and anxiety levels before and after each experiment.ResultsThe findings suggest that participants’ experiences in both VR and IME environments effectively contributed to reducing anxiety levels and fostering a tranquil atmosphere. Both experimental groups reported a significantly heightened sense of relaxation post-experiments. Although the disparity was not statistically significant, the IME group displayed a more pronounced reduction in stress levels compared to the VR group.DiscussionThe research underscores the significance of considering the built environment and sensory design in addressing mental health challenges among college students. Further exploration and integration of such approaches into educational settings could significantly contribute to establishing more supportive and conducive environments for student success.

Comparative Study of Different Behavioral Management Techniques in Treating Anxious Pediatric Dental Patients

ABSTRACT Background: Pediatric dental anxiety poses a significant challenge in the delivery of dental care, often resulting in compromised treatment outcomes and negative experiences for both patients and dental professionals. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted involving 120 pediatric dental patients aged 4 to 10 years old, presenting with varying degrees of dental anxiety. Patients were randomly assigned to three groups: Group A received tell-show-do (TSD) technique, Group B received audiovisual distraction (AVD), and Group C received non-pharmacological behavior guidance (NPBG). Anxiety levels were assessed using a standardized anxiety scale before and after the dental procedure. Patient cooperation during treatment, as well as dentist and parent satisfaction, was also evaluated. Results: The study revealed significant reductions in anxiety levels across all groups post-treatment. However, Group B (AVD) demonstrated the most substantial reduction in anxiety scores, with a mean decrease of 60% from baseline. Group A (TSD) and Group C (NPBG) showed comparable reductions in anxiety levels, with mean decreases of 45% and 50%, respectively. Patient cooperation during treatment was highest in Group B, followed by Groups C and A. Dentist and parent satisfaction scores were significantly higher in Group B compared to the other groups. Conclusion: AVD emerged as the most effective behavioral management technique for treating anxious pediatric dental patients, resulting in significant reductions in anxiety levels and higher levels of patient cooperation during treatment compared to TSD and NPBG techniques.

Assessing the Influence of Patient Anxiety on the Efficacy of Endodontic Procedures.

Patient anxiety is known to influence various aspects of dental procedures, including endodontic treatments. However, the extent of its impact on the efficacy of such procedures remains uncertain. Understanding this influence is crucial for improving patient outcomes and optimizing treatment protocols. A prospective cohort study was conducted involving 100 patients undergoing endodontic procedures. Patient anxiety levels were assessed using standardized anxiety scales before and after treatment. The efficacy of endodontic procedures was evaluated based on posttreatment pain scores, success rates of root canal treatments, and patient-reported satisfaction levels. The mean pre-treatment anxiety score was 45.7 (SD = 9.2), while the mean posttreatment anxiety score reduced significantly to 32.4 (SD = 7.6), indicating a significant reduction in anxiety levels following endodontic procedures (P < 0.001). Posttreatment pain scores were lower in patients with reduced anxiety levels, with an average pain score of 2.1 (SD = 1.3) compared to 3.8 (SD = 1.6) in patients with persistently high-anxiety levels (P = 0.002). Additionally, the success rate of root canal treatments was higher in patients with lower anxiety levels (85%) than those with higher anxiety levels (65%) (P = 0.015). Overall patient satisfaction was also significantly higher in the low-anxiety group (P < 0.001). Patient anxiety significantly influences the efficacy of endodontic procedures, affecting posttreatment pain, success rates of root canal treatments, and patient satisfaction levels. Efforts to reduce patient anxiety before and during endodontic procedures may lead to improved treatment outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.

Evaluation of lavender and rose aromatherapies on the success of inferior alveolar nerve block in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis: A randomized clinical trial

Trial designThis is a prospective, block-randomized, blinded, multiple arm and parallel-group superiority clinical trial. MethodsSeventy-eight patients satisfying the recruitment standards, were randomly allocated into three groups as follows: Group I (n = 26) – Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) devoid of aromatherapy (AT); Group II (n = 26) - IANB with lavender AT and Group III - IANB with rose AT (n = 26) with the help of the ultrasonic aroma diffuser (with respective oils)for 20 min/2 h in operatories 1,2 and 3 respectively. For AT, 3–4 drops of lavender and rose-conditioned oils were added from a 100 ml solution containing 100 mg of these medicinal plants. The pre-operative (PRO) and access opening (AO) pain as well as the anxiety of patients were recorded using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) respectively. Data thus obtained was entered into the Excel sheet and subjected to statistical tests (analysis of variance and paired t-test). The p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. ResultsGroup I showed non-significant disparity between PRO and AO for both VAS as well as MDAS (p = 0.62, p = 0.71). However, group II (p = 0.04, p = 0.02) and group III (p = 0.03, p = 0.01) revealed significant differences between PO - AO VAS and MDAS. MDAS and VAS intergroup comparison revealed a significant difference among groups I and II (p = 0.03, p = 0.04), and groups I and III (p = 0.02, p = 0.03). However non-significant disparity was observed among groups II and III (p = 0.85, 0.34). Moreover, there was a statistically significant reduction in anxiety levels in females compared to males after rose AT (p = 0.02). Nevertheless, groups I and II did not show any gender predilection for anxiety as well as pain. ConclusionAlleviation of dental anxiety as well as reduction in pain during AO of teeth with SIP can be achieved using Lavender and rose AT. In female patients, rose AT can be preferred over lavender AT.

THOUGHT STOPPING TECHNIQUE GROUP COUNSELING TO REDUCE ACADEMIC ANXIETY

The large number of students who experience academic anxiety and the challenges they face in completing their final assignments are the impetus for conducting this research. Students who feel academic anxiety or also called academic anxiety due to lack of confidence in their abilities in carrying out academic activities, are generally motivated by several factors such as the desire to graduate on time, high parental expectations, and pressure from supervisors. The aim of this research is to reduce academic anxiety in final year students by using thought stopping strategies in group counseling. Purposive sampling is used in the pre-experimental design quantitative research methodology which has a one-group pre-test-post-test design pattern. Seven students with high levels of academic anxiety will be research participants. They will receive treatment in the form of group counseling using thought stopping techniques. Four sessions were held to conduct this research. T-Test statistical samples with SPSS For Windows Version 26.0 statistical software were used in the data analysis procedure. The findings of this study show the effectiveness of thought stopping strategies in group counseling to reduce academic anxiety. The acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is indicated by the results of the Paired Sample T-Test analysis which produces a significant probability value (2-tailed) &lt; 0.05. It was found that after the final students underwent group counseling treatment using the thought stopping technique, there was a significant reduction in anxiety levels.

Neuroprotection mediated by prolactin against streptozotocin injury in brain rat areas

Prolactin has been recognized as neuroprotective hormone against various types of neuronal damage. This study was aimed to determine if prolactin protects against streptozotocin injury. A series of experiments were performed to determine neuronal survival by counting total neurons in medial hippocampus cortex and cerebellum. Astrogliosis was determined by immunofluorescence assays using GFAP, and behavioral improvement by prolactin after neuronal damage was determined by open-field and light–dark box tests. Results demonstrated that prolactin induced significant neuronal survival in both the hippocampus and cortex, but not in the cerebellum. No increase in astrogliosis was identified, but a significant reduction in anxiety levels was observed. Overall data indicate that prolactin may protect against a complex form of cell damage including oxidant stress and metabolic disruption by streptozotocin. Prolactin may be helpful strategy in the treatment of neuronal damage in neurological diseases.

Sex differences in the effects of aromatherapy on anxiety and salivary oxytocin levels.

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing method to promote health and well-being by using natural plant extracts. However, its precise mechanism of action and influence on the endocrine system remains unclear. Since recent studies reported that a neuropeptide, oxytocin, can attenuate anxiety, we hypothesized that if oxytocin secretion is promoted through aromatherapy, it may improve mood and anxiety. The present study is aimed to investigate the relationship between oxytocin and the effects of aromatherapy with lavender oil on anxiety level, by measuring salivary oxytocin levels in healthy men and women. We conducted a randomized open crossover trial in 15 men and 10 women. Each participant received a placebo intervention (control group) and aromatherapy with lavender oil (aromatherapy group). For the aromatherapy group, each participant spent a 30-min session in a room with diffused lavender essential oil, followed by a 10-min hand massage using a carrier oil containing lavender oil. Anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before the intervention, 30-min after the start of intervention, and after hand massage, in both groups. Saliva samples were collected at the same time points of the STAI. In women, either aromatherapy or hand massage was associated with a reduction in anxiety levels, independently. Moreover, salivary oxytocin levels were increased after aromatherapy. On the other hand, in men, anxiety levels were decreased after aromatherapy, as well as after hand massage, regardless of the use of lavender oil. However, there were no significant differences in changes of salivary oxytocin levels between the control and aromatherapy groups during the intervention period. Interestingly, there was a positive correlation between anxiety levels and salivary oxytocin levels before the intervention, but a negative correlation was observed after hand massage with lavender oil. The results of the present study indicate that in women, aromatherapy with lavender oil attenuated anxiety with increase in oxytocin level in women, whereas in men, there was no clear relationship of aromatherapy with anxiety or oxytocin levels but, there was a change in correlation between anxiety and oxytocin. The results of the present study suggest that the effect of aromatherapy can vary depending on sex.

Efficiency of a Sensory-Adapted Dental Environment Versus Regular Dental Environment in Neurotypically Healthy Children: A Parallel-Arm Interventional Study.

Introduction The basic principle of a sensory adaptive dental environment is that an individual's sensory experiences have a significant impact on their emotional and psychological well-being. Taste, smell, touch, hearing, and sight are the five basic senses that affect our perception and responses to the environment. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a Sensory-Adaptive Dental Environment (SADE) compared with a Regular Dental Environment (RDE) in reducing anxiety, improving behavior, and providinga smooth experience for children undergoing dental treatment. Materials and methods This parallel-arm pilot study was conducted at the outpatient Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai,from January 2024 to March 2024. A total of 148 children who met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups:Group I (intervention group) received SADE or MSE (Multi-Sensory Environment) intervention, while Group 2 (control group)underwent dental treatments in a Regular Dental Environment (RDE). Patient behavior was assessed using Frankl's behavior rating scale, and anxiety levels were measured using Ayesha's Oddbodd anxiety scale. Additionally, heart rate and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were evaluated using a pulse oximeter. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY), with significance set at a p-value less than 0.05. Results Before the procedure, there were no notable differences in behavior or anxiety levels. However, after the procedure, children undergoing treatment under SADE resulted in markedly improved behavior and notably lower anxiety levels. Also, this correlated with reduced anxiety levels, indicated by lower heart rates and higher oxygen saturation levels. Conclusion The study concluded that there were notable differences in patient experiences between SADE and RDE.After their dental procedures, participants in the SADE group were found to behave better and feel less nervous. Still, in the conventional setting, only improved behavior was noted, with no significant difference in anxiety levels. Overall, our study suggests that dental offices can significantly enhance patient experiences by providing a sensory-friendly setting that helps children feel more at ease, improves patient outcomes, and less nervous during their visits.

Background and Aim: The university stage is a crucial period for promoting the healthy development of adolescents, and it also plays a pivotal role in cultivating exercise habits among undergraduate students. However, in the realm of exercise, we have observed a declining trend in proactive engagement, with students lacking access to a systematic exercise program to guide them. To address these issues and enhance the health and well-being of undergraduate students in Xi'an while simultaneously reducing anxiety, our goal was to develop an exercise program that can help students enhance their physical fitness and alleviate anxiety. Our ultimate aim is to foster the healthy growth of undergraduates by improving their physical fitness and reducing anxiety through a well-designed exercise regimen. Materials and Methods: First review physical fitness of low physical fitness and high anxiety of 1000 students at Xi'an Physical Education University. Survey anxiety of 45 students from university who had high anxiety levels by special sampling method.Result of a physical fitness test and anxiety test.Second semi-structured questionnaire and daft exercise program by experts’ deep interview. Next, we conduct an experimental exercise program. Finally, we can confirm the exercise program by survey. Result: Through the exercise programs we designed, we successfully increased students' fitness levels and reduced anxiety levels. After the students continued to exercise through this exercise program for eight weeks, the results of all physical fitness test items reached the passing level, and 31 students no longer felt anxious, while the number of students who felt mild anxiety dropped to 14. The findings strongly suggest that through targeted exercise programs, students' physical fitness levels can be significantly improved and help reduce anxiety on a psychological level. Conclusion: There are many students whose physical fitness scores are unsatisfactory, unqualified, and anxious. After eight weeks of physical exercise, the anxiety scores of 31 students were within the normal range, and the anxiety scores of 14 students had been reduced to low anxiety.
