AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study investigates how negative emotions (negative affect) affect people's perception of time, particularly looking at the roles of rumination and borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms.
  • - Through an online pilot study with 760 participants, researchers found that higher levels of negative affect and BPD symptoms were linked to a greater sense of time passing slowly (time dilation).
  • - The research suggests that individuals with BPD and high rumination notice greater time distortion, while those with low BPD symptoms and high rumination may experience less time dilation, pointing to important implications for therapy and understanding emotional experiences.

Article Abstract

Objective: Accurate time perception is crucial to daily life but vulnerable to interference, particularly through negative affect, which dilates individuals' sense of time passing. Regulation strategies like rumination, and disorders like borderline personality disorder (BPD), are linked to time distortion, yet their interrelationships remain untested. We investigated whether rumination and BPD symptoms increase time dilation in negative affective states to understand the clinical implications of time distortion.

Methods: In an online pilot study, we tested whether negative affect (NA) predicts subjective time perception and explored how rumination, BPD symptoms, and their interaction predicted time perception using a between-subjects online experimental mood induction. Adult participants (N = 760) were recruited from Prolific Academic and a large, Midwestern U.S. university.

Results: State NA and increased BPD features predicted increased time dilation. The role of trait-level rumination was nuanced, with individuals low in BPD symptoms and elevated trait rumination exhibiting reduced time dilation in response to NA. Conversely, those with elevated rumination and BPD symptoms reported increased time dilation in the neutral condition.

Conclusion: Findings offer foundational evidence of NA and rumination's roles in time dilation for individuals across levels of BPD symptom endorsement. Subsequent replication and extension could flesh out these relationships and inform psychotherapeutic treatment targets.

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) carries a significant risk of atherosclerosis as the main driver for cardiovascular events. Atherosclerosis is initiated by the activation of the endothelium by various risk factors through the inflammation process. The anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-β1 may inhibit the development of atherosclerosis.

The pupillary light reflex could serve as a valuable method for measuring dynamic responses in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). However, it remains unclear whether physiological conditions such as fasting and dehydration affect pupillary reflexes. In this study, we investigated the effects of fasting and dehydration on pupillary responses using pupillometry.

Horizontal well hydraulic fracturing technology has significantly enhanced the productivity of shale reservoirs. However, our understanding of the expansion patterns within the complex fracture network and fluid seepage mechanisms under field conditions remains inadequate. Here, this work develops a dynamic geomechanical (DG) model to simulate the complete sequence of operations in hydraulic fracturing.

Cardiac remodeling encompasses structural alterations such as hypertrophy, fibrosis, and dilatation, alongside numerous cellular and molecular functional aberrations, constituting a pivotal process in the advancement of heart failure (HF). 4-Hydroxychalcone (4-HCH) is a class of naturally occurring compounds with variable phenolic structures, and has demonstrated the preventive efficacy in hyperaldosteronism, inflammation and renal injury. However, the role of 4-HCH in the regulation of cardiac remodeling remains uncertain.

Aortic growth rates in a Swedish cohort of women with Turner syndrome.

Int J Cardiol Congenit Heart Dis

Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition, Institution of Medicine, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Background: Aortic dilation, cardiac malformations and hypertension are known risk factors for aortic dissection in Turner syndrome (TS). In the current guidelines, rapid growth of the aorta has been added as a risk marker. This study aimed to estimate the growth of the ascending aorta over time, to identify risk factors of aortic growth, and to describe aortic complications in TS.
