anxiety/fever

OBJECTIVE It is widely accepted that chronic stress can induce anxiety; however, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of stress-induced anxiety are far from being elucidated. Hyperthermia has been shown to induce expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) to provide protection against a variety of

According to the fever model of Disclosure, the relationship of Disclosure (utterances that reveal subjective information) to psychological distress is analogous to the relationship of fever to physical infection: Both are indicators of some underlying disturbance and part of a restorative process.

BACKGROUND Findings suggest that obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders, referred to as obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders (OCSDs), are more common in patients with rheumatic fever (RF). OBJECTIVE To determine whether RF or Sydenham's chorea increases the probability of

Aim: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common hereditary autoinflammatory disease. The main goal of our study is to compare sleep habits, depression and anxiety of patients with FMF to healthy children and to determine the

Psychiatric symptoms have been reported in adult patients with dengue fever (DF); however, information on pediatric patients remains inadequate. We sought to identify the prevalence and predictors of depressive and anxiety symptoms and identify other psychiatric

In anxiety research, the search for models with sufficient clinical predictive validity to support the translation of animal studies on anxiolytic drugs to clinical research is often challenging. This review describes the stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH) paradigm, a model that studies the

BACKGROUND There is some uncertainty whether the acute hyperthermia caused by MDMA (ecstasy) plays a significant role in determining the long-term neurotoxic effects on brain 5-HT systems and associated changes in mood and behaviour. OBJECTIVE The present study assessed whether long-term behavioural

OBJECTIVE The aims of the study were to determine the following: 1) if a fever education program (interactive or written) reduces parent fever anxiety; 2) if an interactive fever program was more effective as a teaching style than standard written material alone; and 3) if a fever program increases

OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with dengue and to examine their correlation with symptom severity. METHODS In this cross sectional study, 531 consecutive patients who met the World Health Organization criteria for dengue fever admitted to Mayo

When mammals, including man, are confronted with a stressful event, their core body temperature rises, stress-induced hyperthermia. In mice, the stress-induced hyperthermia procedure has been developed to measure antistress or anxiolytic-like effects of psychoactive drugs. Group-housed and singly

This paper reviews the function, brain mechanisms and pharmacology of stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH) in a broad context. Hyperthermia itself is induced by all stressful stimuli and can be found across numerous species, including humans. As a model for anxiety, the process of insertion of a rectal

Described in this unit is the stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH) test in mice in a single-housed format. This protocol has proven reliable in detecting the anxiolytic properties of test compounds. In this test, SIH is quantified in singly housed mice using a rectal temperature measurement as the

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common autoinflammatory disease which requires a lifelong treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the depression and anxiety in pediatric FMF patients. The Children's Depression Inventory and the Screen for Child Anxiety-related Emotional

Aberrant activation of toll-like receptor (TLR)s results in persistent and prolonged neuroinflammation and has been implicated in the pathogenesis and exacerbation of psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. TLR3 coordinates the innate immune response to viral infection and recent data have

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression among patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) living in Germany or Turkey a prospective study was conducted. METHODS Forty FMF patients living in Turkey (T), 40 FMF patients living in Germany (G) and 40 healthy controls living
