Article Abstract
Discrepancies regarding the link between autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and psychopathology may be due in part to inconsistent measurement of non-psychological factors, including eating, drinking, activity, posture, and interacting with others. Rather than sources of noise, behaviors like being active and being with others may be the behavioral pathways that connect psychopathology symptoms to autonomic activity. The present study examined whether behaviors mediate the association of depression, anxiety, and hypomanic traits with ANS by using experience sampling methodology and ambulatory impedance cardiography. Participants (n = 49) completed measures of affect and one day of experience sampling and ambulatory impedance cardiography. The association of hypomanic traits with heart rate variability and heart rate was mediated by physical activity, and social activity mediated the association of depressive symptoms and respiration. These results highlight the importance of considering the pathways between psychopathology and ANS and the mediating role that everyday behaviors play.

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University of Kansas School of Medicine, and Kansas City VA Medical Center, Kansas City, Missouri, USA.
Background: Many patients diagnosed with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have persistent symptoms despite proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy.
Aims: The aim of this consensus is to provide evidence-based statements to guide clinicians caring for patients with refractory reflux-like symptoms (rRLS) or refractory GERD.
Methods: This consensus was developed by the International Working Group for the Classification of Oesophagitis.
Ambulatory autonomic nervous system activity in relation to hearing impairment.
Psychophysiology
December 2024
Department of Biological Psychology, Faculty of Behavioral and Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Previous research has demonstrated that hearing impairment is associated with heightened subjective experiences of listening effort, fatigue, and stress, impacting daily functioning. This study aimed to evaluate whether hearing impairment alters physiological stress systems and whether different aspects of hearing impairment could vary in predicting dysregulation in these systems. Hallmark measures of parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system activity were derived from electrocardiography, impedance cardiography, and electrodermal activity recordings taken from 133 individuals, aged 37 to 73, over two 24-hr periods, including sleep.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess whether a structured exercise program could improve physical, functional, and psychological health outcomes for individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) compared to standard care.
- It involved a randomized controlled trial with 57 participants who were divided into an exercise group, which completed a 20-session program over 8 weeks, and a usual care group, which maintained their regular activities.
- Results showed the exercise group significantly improved on several physical measures, specifically the 6-Minute Walk Test, balance, and strength tests, but there were no significant psychological benefits noted.
Phase angle and body composition in long-term type 1 diabetes in adults: a comparative study in a Brazilian public reference outpatient clinic.

Introduction: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) affects a small percentage of the population. Nevertheless, its prevalence is currently growing with alarming data on uncontrolled cases. The importance of body composition and Phase Angle (PA), assessed by Bioelectrical Impedance (BIA), in long- term DM1 patients lies in the fact that alterations in cellular integrity and body compartments may affect risk profiles and metabolic control.

Article Synopsis
- Two patients received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), and Holter analysis revealed regular pacing spikes occurring after heartbeats, indicating system activity.
- The study utilized dynamic electrocardiogram analysis and literature review to identify these spikes as a feature measuring thoracic impedance rather than a malfunction.
- The findings suggest that these spikes are a normal function of the ICD designed to monitor heart failure, not an interference signal.
