Introduction: A growing body of literature showed that mental fatigue induced by an effortful task leads to an impairment in a subsequent physical performance. The principal aim of this experimental study was to reproduce the effect of mental fatigue on endurance performance while investigating the effort deployment in the fatiguing and control tasks that precede the physical task.
Methods: Participants performed the following task sequence in a between-subjects design ( = 16 in each group): a time-to-exhaustion handgrip task at 13% of maximal voluntary contraction, a 30-min mental task (Stroop task or documentary watching task) and the handgrip task again.

Background: Chronic immune-mediated diseases, such as Severe Allergic Asthma (SAA) and Hymenoptera Venom Anaphylaxis (HVA), significantly impact quality of life. Defense mechanisms, as implicit emotion-regulation strategies, shape an individual's adaptation to chronic stressors. This cross-sectional study explored the relationship among defensive functioning, psychological symptoms, and perceived physical and mental health in patients with SAA and HVA.

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) has been implicated in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and identified as a prominent neurohormonal system potentially linking PTSD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and potentially contributing to sex-differences in PTSD. Low estradiol has been implicated as a risk factor for PTSD among women and may down-regulate activity of the RAAS. We aimed to replicate previous work showing higher RAAS activity among those with PTSD.

Background: Hyper- or hypo-reactivity to sensory input is a diagnostic criterion for autism spectrum disorder; however, it is still not fully characterized, despite its relevance to patients' quality of life. When considering neurodevelopment, sensory reactivity in autism is often assessed through parental reports, with only a few pieces of evidence acquired using standardized protocols. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a standardized protocol used to quantify sensory function by assessing perceptive and pain thresholds with calibrated sensory stimuli.
