Resilience of the Hellenic navy seals assessed by heart rate variability during cognitive tasks.

Objectives: The interaction between high physical performance under extreme conditions in military and the simultaneous control of the cognitive executive functioning has been a subject of research in literature for the past few decades. Stroop test and Heart-rate variability (HRV), have been verified valuable clinical tools for the assessment of cerebral and autonomic/ cardiovascular stress responses respectively.

Methods: Thirty-four subjects were enrolled in this study.

Assessment of Resilience of the Hellenic Navy Seals by Electrodermal Activity during Cognitive Tasks.

Stress resilience plays a key role in task performance during emergencies, especially in occupations like military special forces, with a routine consisting of unexpected events. Nevertheless, reliable and applicable measurements of resilience in predicting task performance in stressful conditions are still researched. This study aimed to explore the stress response in the Hellenic Navy SEALs (HN-SEALs), using a cognitive-physiological approach.

Exploring factors influencing dietary intake during hospitalization: Results from analyzing nutritionDay's database (2006-2013).

Background & Aims: Hospital food consumption can affect patients' outcome leading to prolonged hospital stay or even increased mortality. In the present study, the nutritionDay database was analyzed (period 2006-2013) to explore the reasons for reduced food intake and associated factors during hospitalization as reported by the patients per se.

Methods: Data from 113,930 adult patients (male 49.
