The cultural psychology of obesity: diffusion of pathological norms from Western to East Asian societies [PDF]

, 2007
We examine the accelerating worldwide obesity epidemic using a mathematical model relating a cognitive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis tuned by embedding cultural context to a signal of chronic, structured, psychosocial threat.

Exploring the Role of Dysregulated Arousal in the Relationship Between Trauma and Addictive Behaviors Among College Students

Journal of Counseling &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between trauma and addictive behaviors is well‐established, yet factors mediating this relationship remain understudied. Given the prevalence of addictive behaviors among collegiate populations, we used path analysis to explore the mediating role of arousal dysregulation in the relationship between childhood trauma and a ...

Interventions for pre‐school children in foster care: A systematic review of the foster carer and system level outcomes from randomised controlled trials

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Children in foster care are at increased risk of experiencing cognitive, emotional and behavioural difficulties. There is a window of opportunity for early intervention associated with developmental sensitivity in the early years. Foster carers and the systems supporting them play a central role in intervention and support for the ...

Steroidopathies and hormonal imbalance in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with a multifactorial etiology, many aspects of which remain unclear. Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between ASD and clinical manifestations resulting from hormonal imbalances, henceforth named “steroidopathies.” The present study aims to ...

Food Insecurity was Associated With Poorer Sleep Quality and Increased Stress Among Dental Students at a HBCU and a Predominantly White School

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The prevalence of food insecurity (FI) and its associated outcomes among undergraduate students have been widely researched, however studies focusing on FI among professional students are limited. This study investigated the associations between FI, sleep‐related variables, and stress among dental students from predominantly Black and ...

Dry–Hot Compound Events Driving the 2024 Pantanal Wildfires

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Extreme wildfires in the Pantanal in 2024 were driven by a cascade of heatwaves, rainfall deficits and the absence of the annual flood pulse. These conditions dried soils and rivers, enhanced fuel accumulation and enabled early and intense fire outbreaks.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in critical illness [PDF]

, 1993
Plasma ACTH and cortisol concentrations are frequently elevated in patients in intensive care units (ICU). To examine the functional integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis during critical illness, we evaluated prospectively 53 ICU patients ...

Seasonal Characteristics of Mesoscale Convective Systems Over the Philippines

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study examines how mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) over the Philippines are most frequent during boreal summer, while those in winter are longer‐lived and more intense due to cold surges and enhanced easterly moisture transport. Intraseasonal oscillations, such as the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal ...

On the Temporal Variability of Precipitation in Iraq: Arid‐Wet Years and Extreme Events

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Daily and monthly precipitation data in Iraq display high seasonal to interdecadal variability, with arid and wet years that have very distinct seasonal cycles. Monthly rainfall is significantly correlated with the Indian Ocean Dipole. Extreme events are identified and classified as belonging to four different weather patterns, allowing to obtain daily

How Well Do CMIP6 Models Simulate the Influence of the West African Westerly Jet on Sahel Precipitation?

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Climate models generally reproduce the WAWJ and August peak but simulate its onset prematurely and too strongly relative to ERA5. CMIP6 simulations struggle to reproduce the jet–precipitation relationship in the Sahel and underrepresent associated moisture transports.
