In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many journals swiftly changed their editorial policies and peer-review processes to accelerate the provision of knowledge about COVID-related issues to a wide audience. These changes may have favoured speed at the cost of accuracy and methodological rigour. In this study, we compare 100 COVID-related articles published in four major psychological journals between 2020 and 2022 with 100 non-COVID articles from the same journal issues and 100 pre-COVID articles published between 2017 and 2019.

- - Hypoxia induces various breathing behaviors, notably gasping, which helps improve blood flow and coordination between heart and lungs by altering breathing patterns and pressures in the body.
- - The study tested if gasps during hypoxia are amplified by a specific circuit in the brain responsible for breathing and if this signal spreads to other areas involved in respiratory control.
- - Results showed that changes in neuron activity and connectivity in brainstem circuits support the idea that these areas work together to enhance breathing efforts during hypoxia, leading to gasping as a lifesaving reflex.
Background: Heart rate variability (HRV), an important marker of autonomic nervous system activity, is usually determined from electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings corrected for extrasystoles and artifacts. Especially in large population-based studies, computer-based algorithms are used to determine RR intervals. The Modular ECG Analysis System MEANS is a widely used tool, especially in large studies.

Although there have been multiple investigations into a multitude of organ dysfunctions, little is known about the role of liver dysfunction. In addition, clinical and laboratory findings of liver dysfunction may occur with a significant delay.
