Article Abstract
SARS-COV-2 is a highly pathogenic coronavirus that causes the disease known as COVID-19, which has infected more than 100 million people worldwide. The main form of containment of the pandemic is social isolation. However the isolation, the severity of the COVID-19 disease, the uncertainty of the future and the economic impact are the possible causes of anxiety as an adverse effect of the pandemic. The literature describes the possible association between anxiety with poor sleep quality, exacerbation of painful conditions, gastroesophageal reflux disease, increased consumption of drugs and the possibility of developing or enhancing sleep bruxism. Health professionals should keep in mind the possibility of overlapping with the different clinical conditions mentioned and the need for a multi-professional team to manage these patients.

Social buffering may reduce the persistent impacts of acute early life stress (aELS) and, thus, has important implications for anxiety- and trauma-related disorders. First, we assessed whether aELS would induce maladaptive fear incubation in adult mice, a PTSD-like phenotype. Overall, animals showed incubation of fear memory in adulthood, independent of aELS condition.

Background: Rates of loneliness have risen sharply since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, largely due to disruptions in social relationships and daily routines, with college students experiencing some of the greatest increases. While prevention programs targeting loneliness have been developed, their success has been limited. One promising approach may lie in enhancing the quality of existing relationships rather than simply increasing social interactions during periods of acute loneliness.

Background: During recovery from an acquired brain injury (ABI), social isolation is a common experience that can lead to adverse outcomes. Although social connection is known to play a critical role in alleviating these effects, the ways in which ABI survivors experience and prioritise connection and isolation are not well understood.
