Background: Psychoneuroendocrinology is a nascent and vibrant field of endocrinology, revealing the unexplored paths of the diversifying field relating to cognitive functions and blood indices which is an interesting learning arena. This work, establishes the relationship of cognitive status and blood indices across parturition among the same subjects.Methods: The experimental design aimed at administration of cognitive assessment function tests as per Wechsler’s memory scale to pregnant subjects and getting specific blood parameters analysed across parturition. The statistical analysis included regression analysis to eliminate the effect of age on the parameters considered and a paired T test to establish relationship across parturition among the same subjects.Results: Cognitive assessment of the subjects clearly revealed that the following aspects of cognitive functions during conception are significantly impaired post parturition general memory, mental control 1, 2, 3, immediate recall memory. (Mental control 4 and 5). Symbolic memory (observations). Whereas the following cognitive functions of the same subjects during conception, are NOT significantly impaired post parturition, orientation, digit cognition (mental control 6 and 7). In the case of blood indices, as per the results obtained, it is quite clearly evident that the following blood parameters of the same subjects showed statistically significant difference during conception compared to post parturition. Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Whereas the following blood parameters of the same subjects showed NO statistically significant difference during conception compared to post parturition, haemoglobin (Hb), total count (TC), platelet count (PC)Conclusions: The domain of cognition related to immediate and recent memory functions, Mean corpuscular blood indices have shown significant variation during pregnancy compared to post parturition. Therefore, the parameters considered in this study indirectly reflects upon the hormonal influence on cognition and blood indices, further studies will help venture more into this newer field of psycho endoneuroimmunology.

Full textAbstract:
Pre-pregnancy weight gain induces dysregulation in the metabolic profile of the offspring, thereby serving as a key factor for cognitive decline and anxiety status in the offspring. However, early probiotic supplementation during the gestational period is linked with improved metabolic health. At the same time, a natural plant known as Elateriospermum tapos (E. tapos) is proven to improve cognition and modulate the stress hormone due to its high concentration of flavonoids. However, the effects of medicinal plant integrated probiotics in F1 generations warrants further investigation. Thus, this study aimed to study the effect of E. tapos yoghurt on the maternal obesity induced cognitive dysfunction and anxiety in female offspring. In this study, female Sprague Dawley rats were fed with normal chow (n = 8) or high fat diet (n = 40) across pre-pregnancy, gestation, and weaning. The treatment with different concentrations of E. tapos yoghurt (5, 50, and 500 mg/kg/day) were initiated in the obese dams upon post coitum day 0 up to postnatal day 21 (PND 21). Female offspring were weaned on PND 21 and body mass index, waist circumference, lee index, behavior, metabolic parameter, and antioxidant status were analyzed. The result shows that the female offspring of the 500 mg/kg E. tapos yoghurt supplemented group shows a decreased level of insulin, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, low fat tissue mass with a high level of HDL, and an increased level of antioxidant status in the hypothalamus. The behavioral assessment proves that the female offspring of the 500 mg/kg E. tapos yoghurt supplemented group exhibits a high recognition index on novel object/place with low anxiety-like behavior in an open field test. In conclusion, our data signify the beneficial effect of early intervention in obese dams on the transgenerational impact on female offspring’s metabolic profile, cognitive performance, and anxiety-like behavior.

The accident at the 4th Power Unit of the Chernobyl NPP on April 26, 1986 is estimated worldwide as one of the most severe disasters in the history of nuclear energy, which resulted in the irradiation of various population categories. Pregnant women represent a special category of victims, since external and internal radiation affected not only the female body, but also the developing fetus. The study of such irradiation consequences is extremely important, since long-term monitoring of the state of health will make it possible to find out the main mechanisms of post-radiation effects on female and children. The aim of this work was to assess the psycho-emotional characteristics in 2 women groups. The first group is women who were irradiated due to the incorporation of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland in April-May 1986 and were at different pregnancy stages. The second group was analyzed as a control, identical in basic parameters to the first, except that at the time of radiation exposure to iodine-131 they have not been pregnant. The severity of post-traumatic stress disorder was analyzed using a self-reporting technique using the PCL-S questionnaire. The psychological distress degree was determined using the K-6 questionnaire. The analysis of the relationship of post-traumatic stress disorder and psychological distress was carried out, the factor structure with the assessment of the contribution of latent factors, as well as inter-factor relationships were studied. A relationship between most factors of posttraumatic stress disorder and psychological distress was revealed, which may indicate the possibility of a causal relationship between the psychological status of women and the risk of somatic pathology in them. It was revealed that radiation is the direct cause of psychological maladaptation in studied women.

Full textAbstract:
Maternal undernutrition is a complex condition that arises from various factors, including social, cultural, psycho-social, biological, and ecological factors. The intergenerational consequences of chronic malnutrition, starting with mothers and their children, account for a significant proportion of infant deaths, cognitive disability, and reduced productivity in adulthood. Therefore, having nutritional knowledge throughout pregnancy is crucial for better risk assessment of undernutrition and healthy pregnancy outcomes. The study examined whether trimester-specific nutrition education and awareness could significantly impact the relationship between maternal nutrition and birth outcomes and found that this association was stronger in women with higher levels of nutrition knowledge. As a result, a food-based approach that is both low-cost and high-nutrition can help meet the specific nutritional requirements of pregnancy, alter certain nutrients that target fetal metabolic vulnerabilities, or enhance fetal growth and development in the migrant population. The review explores recent research and discusses how nutrition literacy and knowledge influence pregnancy and birth outcomes, providing an overview of the current understanding of maternal nutritional trimester-specific needs and highlighting areas that still require further study. The findings emphasize the importance of considering diet diversity and peer support during pregnancy, considering the impact that nutrition knowledge has on pregnancy outcomes.

"Cognitive Function Decline in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy Is Associated with Sleep Fragmentation."

Full textAbstract:
During late pregnancy, sleep deterioration is regularly observed. In concert with these observations, in previous studies by other researchers, a slight objective cognitive decline in pregnant women has been found. Sleep is essential for memory consolidation. The hypothesis of the study was that cognitive impairment could be related to sleep deterioration during pregnancy. The study included 19 pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy (28–40 weeks, median 33 weeks (IQR 32–37)) recruited at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Medical University of Warsaw, and 20 non-pregnant women as controls. The assessment was performed using the vocabulary subtest from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), D2 Test of Attention, OSPAN task (Operational Span Task) to assess cognitive performance, actigraphy to examine sleep parameters, and a set of self-report instruments: Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Ford Insomnia Response to Stress (FIRST), Regenstein Hyperarousal Scale (HS), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Although there were no differences between the groups in WAIS (p = 0.18), pregnant women had worse scores in working memory capacity (overall number of remembered letters: p = 0.012, WM span index: p = 0.004) and a significantly lower score in attention (p = 0.03). Pregnant women also had lower sleep efficiency (p = 0.001), more awakenings from sleep (p = 0.001), longer average awakenings (p < 0.0001), longer wake after sleep onset (WASO, p < 0.0001), and longer total time in bed (p < 0.0001). In psychological assessment, pregnant women had only a higher FIRST score (p = 0.02). Using mediation analysis, we found that frequent awakening might be the major factor contributing to deterioration in working memory performance, explaining almost 40% of the total effect. In conclusion, sleep fragmentation in the third trimester of pregnancy may impair working memory consolidation. Pregnant women often complain about poor daily performance as well as non-restorative sleep. In this study, we showed that there is a relationship between lower sleep quality in pregnancy and worse cognitive functioning. We can expect a cognitive decline in women with sleep disturbances in pregnancy. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the treatment of sleep disorders in pregnancy.

Full textAbstract:
Only a small number of studies draw attention to the relationship between body image after pregnancy and during lactation with the decision to undertake and continue breastfeeding. Body image is a complex mental construct, which consists of: cognitive, emotional and behavioural components, and which is subject to change during the life of the woman. Pregnancy, childbirth and lactation affect the physicality of women, which is also reflected in the way of defining their body image. Dissatisfaction with own body can affect the decision to breastfeed or cause discomfort during breastfeeding. At the same time, undertaking breastfeeding can, through the hormones secreted at the time, positively influence the assessment of the woman’s body before and during pregnancy. The discovery of this relationship, and in the future indicating the precise correlation phenomena, could have a practical use in working with patients whether to breastfeed. By noticing and identifying an early onset of irregularities in the forming body image of a pregnant women, healthcare professionals can support those in need to build a real body image and positive attitude towards occurring changes and thus increase their comfort. Recognising and understanding the obstacles women experience on the road to breastfeeding, educators and professionals can create programs which consider a more complex, psycho-physical dimension of breastfeeding.

Full textAbstract:
Aim. Comparative assessment of cognitive functions (memory, attention, cognition and neurodynamics) in patients with atrial fibrillation before and at different stages after implantation of permanent pacemaker depending on the received anticoagulant therapy. Methods. We examined 44 patients (average age 65.5 ± 2.5 years) with ischemic heart disease (IHD) complicated by persistent or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, which required implantation of a permanent pacemaker (PM). The patients were divided into 2 groups: receiving warfarin (28 patients - 63.6 %, average age 65.5 ± 1.6 years) and those who received oral anticoagulants (OAC) (16 patients - 36.4 %, average age 66.3 ± 1.4 years, p = 0.614). To assess the cognitive functions, psycho-physiological complex «Status PF» was used. Results. Before PM implantation, the patients of both groups had decreased indices of visual memory. On days 5-7 after PM implantation, each group showed its increase (p = 0.001 and p = 0.013, respectively). On days 30-40, patients receiving warfarin developed a dramatic decrease of visual memory compared to the previous data and they became reliably lower than in the control group (p = 0.001). In the group receiving OAC, visual memory stayed unchanged (p = 0.076). Similar changes in warfarin group occurred at the assessment of auditory memory and attention volume (p = 0.001). Cognition indices (difficult analogues) were worse at baseline in warfarin group than in the group of OAC (7.0 ± 0.5 и 9.6 ± 0.6, р1 = 0.003) and this interrelation persisted on two following examinations (9.5 ± 0.4 and 10.8 ± 0.4, р1 = 0.041; 8.5 ± 0.4 and 9.8 ± 0.4, р1 = 0.048). Before PM implantation, the patients of both groups required more time of average exposure for neurodynamics test than in the control group (р = 0.001 and р = 0.002 respectively). On days 5-7 after PM implantation, the average exposure time decreased in both groups and they had no differences between each other and with the control (р1 = 0.132, р = 0.934 and р = 0.058). At the second testing only warfarin group had increased the mentioned time, and it exceeded the same parameter in the OAC group (p = 0.007). Conclusion. A comparative assessment of cognitive functions in patients with IHD and atrial fibrillation demonstrated that in the warfarin group and the group receiving OAC patients had cognitive deficit more profound in the patients receiving warfarin. Those differences persisted at different stages after permanent PM implantation.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionOne of the factors influencing the symptoms of schizophrenia, which may indicate changes in the cognitive functioning of patients, is the fluctuating level of inflammatory cytokines.ObjectivesThe aim of the review was to analyze the available literature on the importance of selected inflammatory factors [interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-10 (IL-10), of tumor necrosis α (TNF-α)] in schizophrenia and the assessment of the impact of changes in cytokine levels on the occurrence of schizophrenia symptoms.MethodsFor this purpose, available scientific publications from following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar were used to prove that the levels of selected inflammatory parameters changed in people suffering from schizophrenia. Moreover, fluctuations in cytokine concentrations influenced the occurrence of negative symptoms of schizophrenia, including cognitive disorders, as well as psychotic symptoms.ResultsAn increase in the concentration of IL-1β in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with the first episode of schizophrenia has been described, which may indicate the involvement of the cytokine in the inflammatory process involving the CNS. The increased level of IL-6 is associated with the occurrence of psychotic disorders, it is also noted in stressful conditions. IL-6 is qualified as an indicator of exacerbation of schizophrenia, which normalizes after antipsychotic treatment. In the blood of patients with paranoid schizophrenia, elevated levels of IL-8 and IL-6 were detected compared to healthy individuals, which indicates the development of an inflammatory process in schizophrenia. The relationship between the level of IL-8 in women in the second trimester of pregnancy and the risk of developing schizophrenia spectrum disorder in children has been proven. Untreated patients with acute psychotic symptoms showed an increase in the level of TNF-α in the blood serum (compared to healthy subjects). An increase in the level of TNF-α in the blood serum of patients with an acute relapse of schizophrenia or the first episode of psychosis was also demonstrated. In conclusion, the relationship of IL-6 and TNF-α with the occurrence of psychotic disorders, the relationship of IL-1β with the appearance of changes in mood, behavior, including cognitive dysfunction, the relationship of IL-8 with the risk of developing schizophrenia spectrum disorder in children, the relationship of reduced concentrations of IL-10 with the intensification of negative symptoms, including cognitive deficits.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the analysis showed that patients with schizophrenia fluctuate in the concentration of inflammatory cytokines, which affects the occurrence of clinical symptoms.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Relevance. The article investigates the choice of anesthesia technique during a caesarean section, which would minimally affect such components of cognitive functions as memory and alertness.The aim of the study is to increase the safety of anesthetic care in women of reproductive age by choosing the method of anesthesia.Material and methods. Two groups of maternity patients were examined: with a normal pregnancy and preeclampsia. They were tested according to a specially designed examination, which included: MoCA test, Benton’s test, Wechsler’s test, self-assessment questionnaire, hospital scale of anxiety and depression before and after surgical delivery.Results. According to the test results, it was found that memory and alertness in pregnant women were initially reduced (compared to the norm), especially with concomitant preeclampsia. When comparing the test results before and after abdominal delivery, it was found that the deterioration of memory and alertness parameters occurs less after the use of neuraxial methods (spinal and epidural anesthesia) compared to patients who underwent general combined anesthesia.

Full textAbstract:
Background The 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25) is widely used in daily clinical practice in evaluating locomotive syndrome (LS). The questionnaire contains 25 questions aiming to describe 6 aspects, including body pain, movement-related difficulty, usual care, social activities, cognitive status, and daily activities. However, its potential underlying latent factor structure of the questionnaire has not been fully examined so far. Methods Five hundred participants who were 60 years or older and were able to walk independently with or without a cane but had complaints of musculoskeletal disorders were recruited face to face at the out-patient ward of Aichi Medical University Hospital between April 2018 and June 2019. All participants completed the GLFS-25. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models (single-factor model, 6-factor model as designed by the developers of the GLFS-25) were fitted and compared using Mplus 8.3 with a maximum likelihood minimization function. Modification indices, standardized expected parameter change were used, a standard strategy for scale development was followed in the search for an alternative and simpler model that could well fit the collected data. Cronbach’s α and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were also calculated. Results Mean (standard deviation) participants age was 72.6 (7.4) years old; 63.6% of them were women. Under the current criteria, 132 (26.4%) and 262 (52.4%) of the study subjects would be classified as LS stage 1 and stage 2, respectively. Overall, the Cronbach’s α (95% CI) for GLFS-25 evaluated using these data was 0.959 (0.953, 0.964). The single- and 6-factor models were rejected due to poor fit. The alternative models with either full 25 questions or a shortened GLFS-16 were found to fit the data better. These alternative models included three latent factors (body pain, movement-related difficulty, and psycho-social complication) and allowed for cross-loading and residual correlations. Discussion The findings of the CFA models provided evidence that the factor structure of the GLFS-25 might be simpler than the 6-factor model as suggested by the designers. The complex relationships between the latent factors and the observed items may also indicate that individual sub-scale use or simply combining the raw scores for evaluation is likely to be inadequate or unsatisfactory. Thus, future revisions of the scoring algorithm or questions of the GLFS-25 may be required.

Full textAbstract:
The article substantiates the place and role of psychological wellbeing, the state of happiness in the optimal functioning of man in various life-spheres. In the context of theories of humanistic, positive and gestalt psychology, an understanding of the psychological phenomenon of personal happiness and its substantive equivalent – the subjective well-being of the individual as a cognitive-affective life-assessment. Emphasis is placed on the cognitive component of subjective well-being, which includes: a holistic and harmonious worldview, perception of the environment as a comfortable and safe place, experiencing absolute psychological freedom, discovering one's authenticity, true vitality, fullness, ability to enjoy life here, and «now and so on». The resource possibilities of the perceptual sphere of personality development in the formation of one's own image «I am happy» and the state of happiness at different levels (physical, emotional, rational, social, spiritual) are determined. It is noted that psychological well-being as an integral personal formation is a necessary condition, a motivational parameter for the formation of the «I am happy»-image and its selfrealization. This determines the importance of basing any psycho-correctional and psychotherapeutic program on the complex interaction of the formative means of a positive worldview: ethical, environmental, personal, social, cognitive, affective, cognitive, sensory-perceptual. Key words: happiness, psychological well-being, worldview, positive «I-image», image "I'm happy!", perceptual component, psychological resources
