Summary: The present study found an association between cardiovascular reactions to acute psychological stress and academic performance in final year high school students. Higher heart rate and cardiac output reactivity were associated with better A-level performance. These associations remained statistically significant after adjusting for potentially confounding variables.

Summary: Adolescence is a critical period for brain and behavioral health, with increased vulnerability to mood, psychotic, and anxiety disorders. Stress-related changes in hippocampal neurogenesis during adolescence may play a role in the onset of psychiatric symptoms. This systematic review identified studies showing reduced hippocampal cell proliferation, neuroplasticity, cognitive impairments, and depressive-like behaviors in adolescent rodents exposed to stress. Treating adolescent mice with antidepressants and other interventions prevented or reversed these changes, highlighting potential therapeutic strategies.

Summary: Exposure to psychological/mental stress can affect urinary function and lower urinary tract dysfunctions, with changes occurring at multiple levels including micturition and lower urinary tract tissues. The brain plays a crucial role in regulating responses to stress, but how stress-induced changes affect urinary function at different levels is still unclear, presenting potential insights into a stress-mediated modulation of micturition.

Summary: Gabapentin (GBP), a GABA analogue, is primarily used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of partial seizures and neuropathic pain. However, recent studies have shown that GBP can significantly increase the risk of heart diseases. In this study, using a rat model, researchers found that both acute and chronic GBP treatments suppressed cardiovascular function and resulted in abnormal calcium signaling in cardiomyocytes. These findings provide important evidence of the cardiovascular side effects of GBP.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the effects of acute and chronic cannabinoid exposure on stress responses in humans and animals, showing that acute exposure increases stress hormones while chronic exposure is associated with dampened stress reactivity. The review also highlights the need for future research to understand sex differences in the effects of cannabis on stress responses and mental health outcomes.

Summary: Prenatal experiences can have lasting effects on offspring physiology and behavior. Different forms of prenatal stress can impair learning and memory function in adults and increase the risk of anxiety and depression. This study focused on the effects of maternal stress induced by social isolation on cognitive functions in adult offspring, specifically spatial, stimulus-response, and emotional learning and memory.

Summary: Chronic psychological stress can affect urinary function and worsen lower urinary tract dysfunction, especially in patients with overactive bladder or interstitial cystitis-bladder pain syndrome. Although the exact mechanisms are unknown, studies have shown a close relationship between chronic stress and urinary dysfunction. Animal models of stress provide valuable tools to investigate the effects of chronic stress on urinary function.

Summary: This study investigated the negative effect of psychological stress on facial impressions. By comparing the facial images before and after a stress task through an online survey, it was found that the post-stress facial impressions were more tired, older, and irritated, while less clean-cut and healthy.

Summary: This study used data from the BACH Survey to estimate normative reference ranges for urination frequencies in healthy women and examine the effects of age, race/ethnicity, and fluid intake. The results showed a wide range of normal urination frequencies, with some differences based on these factors. The study highlights the need for further research on urination frequencies in minority women and the impact of fluid intake on lower urinary tract symptoms.

Summary: This study aims to understand the distribution of bladder health and the factors that promote bladder health and prevent LUTS in women. It is a population-based longitudinal cohort study conducted in the United States, involving community-dwelling women. Data collection includes self-administered surveys and objective measures. The findings will contribute to the development of interventions for bladder health promotion and LUTS prevention in women.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) across occupational groups in the Boston Area Community Health Survey and found that the workplace toileting environment may impact urination frequency. Women in Computing, Engineering, and Science were more likely to experience LUTS, while women in Education, Legal, Community Service, Arts, and Media, as well as Healthcare Practitioner and Technical Occupations, were less likely to experience frequent daytime urination.

Summary: This retrospective multi-institutional study reveals significant variations in antibiotic regimens and adherence to the 2008 AUA BPS among providers, with lower rates of concordant antibiotic use in the office setting. The incidence of UTI within 30 days following BTX-A injection did not significantly differ based on concordance with the BPS or procedure setting.
