Summary: This study investigated the effects of one-day fasting on the daily rhythm of cortisol and DHEA levels in obese individuals. The results showed that fasting could affect the daily rhythm of cortisol and DHEA, with changes in amplitude and acrophase. Additionally, age was found to influence the rhythm of DHEA.

Summary: The study found significant increases in salivary cortisol and DHEA-S levels during pregnancy, with high levels of salivary cortisol and DHEA-S showing a significant association with pregnancy. Therefore, the indicated time range for saliva sampling may best mirror the established profile of circulatory cortisol in pregnant women. Unlike cortisol, the study indicates that the profile of salivary DHEA-S is distinct from that of circulatory DHEA-S during pregnancy.

Summary: This study used machine learning models to investigate the relationship between physician stress and near misses. The results showed that machine learning models can predict the performance of emergency room physicians and identified the cortisol to DHEA-S ratio as the most important predictor. These findings are significant for reducing error risks and improving patient and physician outcomes through intervention measures.

Summary: Monitoring chronic stress in pigs is important for animal welfare and farmers. This study investigated the use of saliva as a non-invasive tool for monitoring chronic stress in pigs. The results showed that chronic stress alters the porcine salivary proteome, and the affected proteins could be potential biomarkers for optimizing rearing conditions and identifying welfare issues.

Summary: Tuberculosis (TB) is a health problem characterized by an immuno-endocrine imbalance. Glucocorticoids (GC) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play important roles in counteracting inflammation. This study investigates the contribution of PPAR gamma in immunoendocrine-metabolic interactions in TB patients.

Summary: This study assessed the stress response in emergency health workers and found that cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase levels fluctuated throughout the working day, while DHEA might have a positive effect on their professional actions.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate salivary melatonin levels in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and found significantly higher melatonin levels in the saliva of OSCC patients, along with significantly lower sleep quality. The results suggest salivary MLT as a potential biomarker for non-invasive detection of early stage OSCC.

Summary: This study provides further evidence for alterations in diurnal cortisol production in obese adolescents, suggesting that their HPA axis may be chronically stressed. However, there are significant differences in salivary cortisol parameters between participants with and without OSA.

Summary: Saliva composition has diurnal variations, which are not affected by citric acid stimulation. The variation characteristics of male and female under resting state and acid stimulation are basically the same, with the trend of salivary alpha-amylase activity being opposite to that of cortisol.

Summary: Psychological stress and its impact on mental health have become a significant global burden. Traditional diagnostic procedures rely on qualitative measures of stress, leading to misdiagnosis and poor understanding of the severity of mental illnesses. The measurement of cortisol and stress hormones offers a quantifiable approach for stress evaluation. Advancements in this field highlight the importance of measuring stress hormones in understanding stress manifestation and mental health decline. Multimodal approaches for stress monitoring show promising developments, emphasizing the need for further technological advancement to benefit global health.

Summary: This study investigated stress levels and coping strategies among working and nonworking women in the United Arab Emirates. The results showed that nonworking women exhibited higher levels of stress compared to working women, and a higher percentage of nonworking women had abnormal cortisol levels in the morning and evening. The study highlights the urgent need to support nonworking women in managing stress through appropriate awareness campaigns and public health policies.

Summary: This study identified three profiles of joint cortisol-DHEA responsivity in adolescents, finding that hyperresponsive adolescents experienced more emotional and behavioral problems over time. Distraction coping was found to be effective in reducing emotional and behavioral difficulties for the normative group, but had the opposite effect for the hyporesponsive group.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether salivary cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and pregnenolone can be used as biomarkers for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The results showed that the concentrations of DHEA and pregnenolone in saliva were significantly higher in the ASD group compared to the control group, but there was no significant difference in cortisol. Spearman's correlation analysis indicated that only pregnenolone was associated with ASD. Logistic regression analysis suggested that salivary pregnenolone could serve as an independent predictor of ASD. ROC analysis demonstrated good discrimination sensitivity of pregnenolone between ASD and normal controls.

Summary: This study developed a home evaluation kit to assess bio-psycho-social factors related to depression and suicide. The results suggest that insecure attachment and mentalization problems negatively affect resilience. In groups with ACE, mentalization problems were found to increase depressive symptoms. AUCg showed potential as a biomarker for resilience and vulnerability factors of depression.

Summary: This study found that HPA axis function after surgery may be involved in the development of postoperative hyperalgesia. Adrenocortical steroidogenic activity favoring the production of cortisol over DHEA may contribute to the development of hyperalgesia.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the efficacy and usability of a VR cognitive assessment program and salivary DHEA for screening MCI. The results showed that the VR cognitive test was as effective as the traditional MOCA test in the MCI classification and safe enough for older adults to perform, indicating its potential as a diagnostic tool. Additionally, salivary DHEA can serve as a biomarker for MCI.
