Salivary cortisol as a biomarker in stress research.
TLDR
The present paper addresses several psychological and biological variables, which may account for such dissociations, and aims to help researchers to rate the validity and psychobiological significance of salivary cortisol as an HPAA biomarker of stress in their experiments.About:

Treating Anxiety Disorders in Older Adults: Current Treatments and Future Directions.
TL;DR: The epidemiology, disease presentation, and current treatment of anxiety disorders in older adults, as well as limitations in the current understanding of such disorders in this population, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Educational Intervention on State Anxiety and Pain in People Undergoing Spinal Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
TL;DR: Preoperative educational intervention is effective in informing patients undergoing spinal surgery that can lead to a reduction in pain, anxiety, and fear postoperatively and should be adopted before rather than after the surgery.

TL;DR: The Hope-Focused Approach to couple enrichment was presented as two 9-hr interventions--(a) Handling The authors' Problems Effectively (HOPE), which emphasized communication and conflict resolution, and (b) Forgiveness and Reconciliation through Experiencing Empathy (FREE).

TL;DR: Intranasal oxytocin may moderate the automated information processing biases in AN and reduce neurobiological stress.

Objective stress monitoring based on wearable sensors in everyday settings
TL;DR: A stress monitoring system that provides objective daily stress measurements in everyday settings based on three physiological signals: electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), and galvanic skin response (GSR) using Shimmer 3 ECG, Shimmer3 GSR+, and Empatica E4 wearable sensors is presented.

Impact of gender, menstrual cycle phase, and oral contraceptives on the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.
TL;DR: Although men seem to have a stronger hypothalamic drive in response to stressful stimulation than women, differences in salivary-free cortisol levels, at least in part, may be explained by estradiol-induced changes in corticosteroid-binding protein levels.

Free Cortisol Levels after Awakening: A Reliable Biological Marker for the Assessment of Adrenocortical Activity
Jens C. Pruessner,Oliver T. Wolf,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Angelika Buske-Kirschbaum,K. von Auer,Silke Jobst,F. Kaspers,Clemens Kirschbaum +7 more
TL;DR: Early morning cortisol levels can be a reliable biological marker for the individual's adrenocortical activity when measured repeatedly with strict reference to the time of awakening, in contrast to single assessments at fixed times.

Maternal care during infancy regulates the development of neural systems mediating the expression of fearfulness in the rat
Christian Caldji,Beth Tannenbaum,Shakti Sharma,Darlene D. Francis,Paul M. Plotsky,Michael J. Meaney +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal care during infancy serves to "program" behavioral responses to stress in the offspring by altering the development of the neural systems that mediate fearfulness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limbic system mechanisms of stress regulation: hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis.
TL;DR: The influence of the limbic system on the HPA axis is likely the end result of the overall patterning of responses to given stimuli and glucocorticoids, with the magnitude of the secretory response determined with respect to the relative contributions of the various structures.

The cortisol awakening response (CAR): Facts and future directions
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the anticipation of the upcoming day is of major relevance for the magnitude of the cortisol awakening response, and considerations are addressed concerning the exact function of the CAR.
