Synchrony in mother-infant interactions is crucial for infant development. However, mother-infant physiological synchrony in the context of maternal childbirth-related posttraumatic stress symptoms (CB-PTSS) remains unknown. This pilot study aimed to investigate physiological synchrony within the context of CB-PTSS.

Background: Childbirth may lead to perinatal mental health issues, such as childbirth-related posttraumatic stress symptoms (CB-PTSS), depression, and anxiety. Despite well explored mother-infant interactions in the context of maternal depression and anxiety, only limited studies investigated mother-infant interactions in the context of CB-PTSS, which is the aim of the present study.

Background: Recognizing sport-related concussion (SRC) is challenging and relies heavily on subjective symptom reports. An objective, biological marker could improve recognition and understanding of SRC. There is emerging evidence that salivary micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) may serve as biomarkers of concussion; however, it remains unclear whether concussion-related miRNAs are impacted by exercise.
