Successful mood repair in the laboratory predicts successful mood repair in daily life for typical but not for depression-prone young adults. Open
Successful mood repair (i.e., attenuating sad, dysphoric affect) is a critical form of emotion regulation that is necessary for healthy functioning. Laboratory-based studies have examined how well individuals can reduce sadness and how thi…

Short-Term Blood Pressure Variability among Young Adults at High or Low Risk for Depression Open
Background: Depression has been shown to have adverse effects on blood pressure (BP) and is associated with high blood pressure variability (BPV). In turn, high short-term BPV has been related to eventual cardiovascular risk. But it is not…

Long‐term stability of respiratory sinus arrhythmia among adults with and without a history of depression Open
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is an index of parasympathetic nervous system activity reflecting respiratory influences on heart rate. This influence is typically measured as high frequency heart rate variability (HF‐HRV) or root mean …

A commentary on “Don't mind the gap: Why we do not care about the gender gap in mental health?” by P. Patalay and O. Demkowicz Open
In their article, Drs. Patalay and Demkowicz raise important questions about research regarding the sex/gender gap in depression rates. However, their perspective on this topic is rather polarizing and yields statements of questionable acc…

A-287 Attention Shifting Individual Differences Moderate Attention Bias Modification Training Effects Among Formerly Depressed Persons Open
Objective: Biased information processing towards negative content is associated with depressive disorders and may be reduced by training attention away from dysphoric stimuli (attention bias modification training, ABM). Empirical findings …

A-288 Valenced Attention Shifting Deficits Evident via Eye-tracking and not Reaction Time Measures in a Psychiatric Sample Open
Objective: Inflexible attention shifting from dysphoric information is a key component of contemporary depression risk models. Yet, the literature is mixed concerning such deficits in depressed samples, perhaps partly due to construct-irre…

Assessment of Antibiotic Pharmacokinetics, Molecular Biomarkers and Clinical Status in Critically Ill Adults Diagnosed with Community-Acquired Pneumonia and Receiving Intravenous Piperacillin/Tazobactam and Hydrocortisone over the First Five Days of Intensive Care: An Observational Study (STROBE Compliant) Open
Severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a condition that frequently requires intensive care and, eventually, can cause to death. Piperacillin/tazobactam antibiotic therapy is employed as an empiric intravenous regimen, in many cases s…

Metabolic syndrome among young adults at high and low familial risk for depression Open
Background Our study examined whether the early-onset depression phenotype among young adults (probands) is associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components, and if MetS characterizes unaffected but high-risk siblings of pr…

Cardiac vagal control mediates the relation between past depression and blood pressure several years later among young adults Open
Depression has been associated with high blood pressure (BP). However, the mechanisms of the relation between depression and high BP are unclear. We therefore examined whether impaired cardiac vagal control, indexed as low levels of restin…

Emotion Regulation Among Adolescents With Pediatric Depression As a Function of Anxiety Comorbidity Open
Background: Both depression and anxiety (two of the most common internalizing psychopathologies among youths) are associated with difficulties in emotion regulation (ER). Little is known about whether anxiety as a comorbid condition…

The persistence of hedonically-based mood repair among young offspring at high- and low-risk for depression Open
The aim of the present study was to examine whether offspring at high and low familial risk for depression differ in the immediate and more lasting behavioural and physiological effects of hedonically-based mood repair. Participants (9- to…

Autonomic correlates of lifetime suicidal thoughts and behaviors among adolescents with a history of depression Open
Suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) have been associated with emotion dysregulation and atypical responses to affective and stressful stimuli. To investigate the psychophysiology involved, we measured changes in respiratory sinus arrhyt…

Dysregulated behavioral responses to hedonic probes among youth with depression histories and their high-risk siblings. Open
Affect dysregulation in response to rewarding stimuli has been proposed as a vulnerability factor for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, it remains unclear how affective behavioral dynamics may be altered among individuals who are a…
