The joint function of electrocardiographic cycle duration and of the spatial magnitude of the repolarization maximum vector, recorded with the physically corrected orthogonal lead system McFee-Parungao was used for studies of the effect of mental arithmetics in man and of emotional stimulation in unrestrained macaques. This approach allowed to distinguish between heart rate changes with and without signs of direct sympathetic stimulation of the working myocardium, and to study the correlation between emotionally induced effects on the pacemaker and on ventricular myocardial fibers. The latter was found to be much more expressed in macaques than in man. Emotionally induced ECG changes may detect persons prone to hyperkinetic circulation.

An intractable conflict environment (ICE) is an extreme context in which deep, unsolvable conflict between groups is central to the actors within it. While non-ICEs are typically assumed in organizational research, ICEs are increasingly common contexts for organizations. Moreover, this context influences peoples' interpretation of potential organizational conflict incidents inside the organization and therefore the likelihood and emotional intensity of organizational conflict events.

β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) play a critical role in modulating learning, memory, emotionality, and long-term synaptic plasticity. Recent studies indicate that β-ARs are necessary for long-term potentiation (LTP) induction in the ventral hippocampus under moderate synaptic activation conditions that do not typically induce LTP. To explore potential dorsoventral differences in β-AR-mediated effects, we applied the β-AR agonist isoproterenol (10 μM, 30 min) to dorsal and ventral hippocampal slices, recording field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) and population spikes (PSs) from the CA1 region.

Acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) is a highly lethal haematological malignancy. It is rare in pregnancy and may be fatal if not managed promptly and appropriately. A woman in her 20s presented with high-grade fever at 16 weeks of her third pregnancy.

Binge eating (BE) is a highly pervasive maladaptive coping strategy in response to severe early life stress such as emotional and social neglect. BE is described as repeated episodes of uncontrolled eating and is tightly linked with comorbid mental health concerns. Despite social stressors occurring at a young age, the onset of BE typically does not occur until adulthood providing an interval for potential therapeutic intervention.

The treatment of stress-related disorders such as anxiety and depression is still challenging. One potential therapeutical option are neurosteroids. Their synthesis is promoted by ligands of the mitochondrial translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO).
