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:

Depressive symptoms in caregivers immediately after stroke.
TL;DR: Characteristics of caregivers and stroke survivors associated with caregivers’ depressive symptoms in the early poststroke period may help identify caregivers at highest risk for early depressive symptoms and guide interventions aimed at their resolution.

Nanosensor-Based Real-Time Monitoring of Stress Biomarkers in Human Saliva Using a Portable Measurement System
Stephanie Klinghammer,Tetiana Voitsekhivska,Tetiana Voitsekhivska,Nadia Licciardello,Kihyun Kim,Chang-Ki Baek,Hyeonsu Cho,Klaus-Jurgen Wolter,Clemens Kirschbaum,Larysa Baraban,Gianaurelio Cuniberti +10 more
TL;DR: A portable multiplexed platform based on an array of nanowire sensors for label-free monitoring of daytime levels of the stress hormone cortisol in saliva samples, obtained from multiple donors, agreed well with the results obtained with a commercial high-sensitivity immunoassay.

Effect of increase in cortisol level due to stress in healthy young individuals on dynamic and static balance scores
TL;DR: This study showed that stress negatively affected dynamic and static balance, even for short periods of time, and STAI, which shows state anxiety, showed an increase supporting this increase.

Diurnal Cortisol Variation According to High-Risk Occupational Specialty Within Police: Comparisons Between Frontline, Tactical Officers, and the General Population.
Kyle Planche,Jennifer F. Chan,Paula M. Di Nota,Brett Beston,Evelyn C. Boychuk,Peter I. Collins,Judith P. Andersen +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that diurnal salivary diurnal cortisol response may be associated with level of risk exposure in hazardous occupational subspecialties within policing compared with the general population.

Psychoacoustic analysis of noise and the application of earplugs in an ICU: A randomised controlled clinical trial.
Michael Czaplik,Rolf Rossaint,Julia Kaliciak,Andreas Follmann,Sabine Kirfel,Roman Scharrer,Martin Guski,Michael Vorländer,Gernot Marx,Mark Coburn +9 more
TL;DR: Noise in the ICU is of high clinical relevance and diverse noise reduction methods, such as earplugs and active noise cancellation, are available and should be the primary focus.

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.

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.
