Regulation of negative emotions through directed attention in high-trait-anxious women: Evidence from event-related potentials and eye-tracking.

Abnormal emotional responses in high-trait-anxious (HTA) individuals may be related to the use of emotion regulation strategies. Directed attention is a substrategy of attention deployment, which has been proven to be effective in regulating individual negative emotions. The present study investigated whether HTA women can effectively utilize directed attention to decrease negative emotions.

Insight Into the Effect of Hospital-Based Prehabilitation on Postoperative Outcomes in Patients With Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) has become one of the most prevalent joint diseases worldwide, leading to a growing burden of pain and disability as populations age. Although there is consistent evidence to support postoperative rehabilitation and high-intensity prehabilitation for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the clinical outcomes of hospital-based prehabilitation remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a hospital-based prehabilitation program on knee score (KS), function score (FS), and length of stay (LOS) among patients with knee OA after TKA.

Trait anxiety modulates the temporal dynamics of Stroop task switching: An ERP study.

The current study aimed to find neural evidence that trait anxiety interferes with one's shifting function processing efficiency. Twenty-five high trait-anxiety (HTA) and twenty-five low trait-anxiety (LTA) participants were instructed to complete a cue-based Stroop task-switching assessment of shifting function. No group difference in behavioral performance was shown, though event-related potential (ERP) results in the cue-locked period showed that only the LTA group had a general switch benefit in contingent negative variation (CNV) amplitude, indicating the LTA group exerted less task preparation effort.
