Agrilus aurilaterus

description: Agrilus aurilaterus Waterhouse
Agrilus aurilatera Waterhouse 1889:120 Although Waterhouse (1889) obviously was aware that the genus Agrilus is masculine, the feminine species epithet he used for this species has been of concern. It is a pleural, the suffix being derived from the Latin noun latus. If this compound epithet were somehow construed to be a noun in apposition, then according to ICZN Article 11.9.1.2 it is incorrect, as such names must be singular. However, certainly it is an adjective. Therefore, according to ICZN Article 11.9.1.1 such a species-group name must be in the nominative singular. According to Don Cameron (University of Michigan), there are Late (Renaissance) Latin compound adjectives such as longilaterus, multilaterus, etc. which justify changing to aurilaterus to match the gender of the genus. Specimens of this uncommonly collected species were seen from JAL, Guadalajara, 1-VII-2003, MCZC, RLWE; Jocotepec, 15-VIII-87; 14 km W Magdalena, 1380 m, trop. decid. Forest, 7/ 8-VII- 81, CLBC. Hespenheide (1974) reported this species from DF, Temascaltepec; however that district is in MEX (see comments in the introduction about specimens collected by Hinton).

description: Introduction Because of the ongoing discussion of imageless navigation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), its advantages and disadvantages were evaluated in a large patient cohort. Methods This retrospective analysis included 2464 patients who had undergone TKA at a high-volume university arthroplasty center between 2012 and 2017. Navigated and conventional TKA were compared regarding postoperative mechanical axis, surgery duration, complication rates, one-year postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) (WOMAC and EQ-5D indices), and responder rates as defined by the criteria of the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology and Osteoarthritis Research Society International consensus (OMERACT-OARSI). Results Both navigated (1.8 +/- 1.6 degrees) and conventional TKA (2.1 +/- 1.6 degrees, p = 0.002) enabled the exact reconstruction of mechanical axis. Surgery duration was six minutes longer for navigated TKA than for conventional TKA (p < 0.001). Complication rates were low in both groups with comparable frequencies: neurological deficits (p = 0.39), joint infection (p = 0.42 and thromboembolic events (p = 0.03). Periprosthetic fractures occurred more frequently during conventional TKA (p = 0.001). One-year PROMs showed excellent improvement in both groups. The WOMAC index was statistically higher for navigated TKA than for conventional TKA (74.7 +/- 19.0 vs. 71.7 +/- 20.7, p = 0.014), but the increase was not clinically relevant. Both groups had a similarly high EQ-5D index (0.23 +/- 0.24 vs. 0.26 +/- 0.25, p = 0.11) and responder rate (86.5% [256/296] vs. 85.9% [981/1142], p = 0.92). Conclusion Both methods enable accurate postoperative leg alignment with low complication rates and equally successful PROMs and responder rates one year postoperatively.

description: Purpose To investigate the learning curve of vitreoretinal (VR) surgeons beginning training in retinal detachment (RD) surgery. Methods The files of all consecutive patients undergoing VR surgery for uncomplicated RD between Jan 2005 und Mar 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Successful outcome was defined as no retinal redetachment within 3 months after surgery. Results Ten surgeons started their VR career during this period. Together, these 10 surgeons performed 3786 RD operations (mean 379; median 251; range 71-1053). Primary success rate after one operation was 90% (3420 of 3786). When starting to operate retinal detachments, VR surgeons had a primary success rate of about 80%. Redetachment rates steadily decreased and stabilized at just under 10% after about 200 operations. Beginners needed more than twice the time for the procedure compared to experienced surgeons. The individual learning curves varied widely. In our series, female surgeons seem to have a faster learning curve. Conclusion RD surgery performed by VR surgeons in training had acceptable results. With increasing experience, success rates continuously improve reaching stable levels after approximately 200 operations. The training of VR surgeons requires considerable resources.

description: To evaluate inter- and intrarater reliability, of the Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS) for children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP) in Sweden. Four speech and language pathologists rated EDACS from videos of 30 individuals with CP, 3 to 62 years, (mean 21 y, 10 m, SD 18 y, 6 m), six at each level of the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Inter- and intrarater reliability were estimated using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) with 95% confidence interval. Interrater reliability was excellent, ICC 0.98 (95% CI 0.95–0.99) for EDACS levels I–V and ICC 1 for need for support, as was intrarater reliability, ICC 0.97 (95% CI 0.93–0.98) for EDACS levels I–V and ICC 0.99 (95% CI 0.99–1) for need for support. When rated by speech and language pathologists, EDACS shows excellent inter- and intrarater reliability for children and adults with CP. EDACS can identify eating and drinking ability and need for support in individuals at all GMFCS levels. When rated by speech and language pathologists, Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System shows excellent inter- and intrarater reliability for children and adults with cerebral palsy in Sweden.Eating and drinking ability and need for support differ between individuals at Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I to V. When rated by speech and language pathologists, Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System shows excellent inter- and intrarater reliability for children and adults with cerebral palsy in Sweden.

description: Compared to the in-person Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), virtual reality (VR) variants reduce resource-intensity and improve standardization but induce stress with smaller effect sizes. However, higher cortisol reactivity is given for more immersive TSST-VRs. Immersivity depends on the VR-system, but perceived immersion may be targeted by exposure to, or interaction with the VR. We investigated whether stress reactivity towards the openly accessible OpenTSST VR can be enhanced by prior exposure to a sensorimotor game completed in VR as mediated by increased immersion. Therefore, N = 58 healthy participants underwent the OpenTSST VR or its inbuilt control condition (placebo TSST-VR, pTSST-VR). Beforehand, participants completed a sensorimotor game either in VR or in real life. Stress was measured by means of self-reports, salivary cortisol concentrations, and salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) activity. Perceived immersion was assessed with the Igroup Presence Questionnaire (IPQ). The TSST-VR-group showed higher subjective stress than the pTSST-VR-group. Even though area under the curve measures indicated significant differences in cortisol levels between TSST-VR and pTSST-VR, this effect was not replicated in omnibus-analyses. Likewise, sAA was not responsive to stress. Our data suggests the OpenTSST VR does not reliably trigger physiological stress reactivity. Likewise, participants playing the VR-game before exposure to the TSST-VR did not show enhanced stress reactivity. Importantly, playing the VR-game did not lead to increased immersion (indicated by the IPQ), either. The key question resulting from our study is which manipulation may be fruitful to obtain a comparable stress response toward the TSST-VR compared to the in-person TSST.

description: Background: 
Lung cancer has emerged as a global public health problem and is the most common cause of cancer deaths by absolute cases globally. Besides tobacco, smoke infectious diseases such as human papillomavirus (HPV) might be involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. However, data are inconsistent due to differences in study design and HPV detection methods.

Aim: 
A systematic meta‐analysis was performed to examine the presence of HPV‐infection with lung cancer.

Methods and Results: 
All studies in all languages were considered for the search concepts “lung cancer” and “HPV” if data specific to HPV prevalence in lung cancer tissue were given. This included Journal articles as well as abstracts and conference reports. As detection method, only HPV PCR results from fresh frozen and paraffin‐embedded tissue were included. Five bibliographic databases and three registers of clinical trials including MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched through February 2020. A total 4298 publications were identified, and 78 publications were selected, resulting in 9385 included lung cancer patients. A meta‐analysis of 15 case‐control studies with n = 2504 patients showed a weighted overall prevalence difference of 22% (95% CI: 12%‐33%; P < .001) and a weighted overall 4.7‐fold (95% CI: 2.7‐8.4; P < .001) increase of HPV prevalence in lung cancer patients compared to controls. Overall, HPV prevalence amounted to 13.5% being highest in Asia (16.6%), followed by America (12.8%), and Europe (7.0%). A higher HPV prevalence was found in squamous cell carcinoma (17.9%) compared to adenocarcinoma (P < .01) with significant differences in geographic patterns. HPV genotypes 16 and 18 were the most prevalent high‐risk genotypes identified.

Conclusion: 
In conclusion, our review provides convincing evidence that HPV infection increases the risk of developing lung cancer.

description: In this article, the periodic version of the classical Da Prato–Grisvard theorem on maximal Lp-regularity in real interpolation spaces is developed, as well as its extension to semilinear evolution equations. Applying this technique to the bidomain equations subject to ionic transport described by the models of FitzHugh–Nagumo, Aliev–Panfilov, or Rogers–McCulloch, it is proved that this set of equations admits a unique, strongT-periodic solution in a neighborhood of stable equilibrium points provided it is innervated by T-periodic forces.

description: Investigations of maternal psychosocial stress and child asthma have produced mixed findings, which may reflect inconsistent consideration of modifying factors. To examine associations between maternal lifetime stress and child asthma, and to assess effect modification by maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index and race/ethnicity in a prenatal cohort of mother-child dyads. Maternal lifetime stress was assessed using the Life Stressor Checklist-Revised, administered during pregnancy and child asthma was ascertained by parent-report in study follow-up visits. In the overall group and stratified by race/ethnicity, we used multivariable logistic regression and varying coefficient modeling to investigate the association between maternal stress and child asthma, assessing for effect modification by pre-pregnancy body mass index. Women were predominately Black (Black/Hispanic-Black 44.5%) or non-Black Hispanic (37.6%), with elevated pre-pregnancy body mass index (25.1% overweight, 29.8% obese); 17% of children had asthma. Higher maternal stress was associated with increased relative odds of child asthma only in dyads with women in the obese (≥30 kilograms/meters squared) category (odds ratio 1.84, 95% confidence interval 1.27-2.67). Varying coefficient models demonstrated stronger positive associations between increased maternal lifetime stress and child asthma in women with higher pre-pregnancy body mass index; the strongest association was observed in the Black group. Maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index modified the association between maternal lifetime stress and child asthma. These findings underscore the need to consider complex interactions to fully elucidate intergenerational stress effects on early childhood asthma.

description: A growing body of work has found that a mismatch between early and recent life stress, more than a cumulative influence of stress, contributes to detrimental stress-related health outcomes. To date, however, no work has examined how such a mismatch might relate to stress-related cognitive outcomes. We addressed this gap in the current study by assessing participants’ (N = 154, Mage = 18.7, 104 female) early and recent life stress using the same inventory, and subsequently assessing their inhibitory control in a hybrid stop-signal/flanker task. Surprisingly, we found that a greater degree of stressor mismatch was associated with better response inhibition (i.e. smaller stop-signal reaction time) across a number of analytic approaches. Cognitive inhibition (i.e. the flanker interference effect) was not associated with stressor mismatch. These results thus show that a greater degree of mismatch between early and recent life stress is related to response inhibition in the same way as acute stress affects response inhibition, suggesting that response inhibition may be an important cognitive process for navigating both acute stress and general environmental conditions that do not match the conditions in which expected stress occurrence was established.

description: It is well-established that disrupted autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity exacerbates risk for long-term maladjustment following childhood adversity (CA). However, few studies have integrated measures of both the sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PNS) branches of the ANS, resulting in a unidimensional understanding of ANS functioning as a mechanism of risk. Further, past work has primarily measured CA only at the aggregate level (e.g. “total CA”), necessitating further research to accurately characterize this risk pathway. The present study examines how CA, measured cumulatively and dimensionally (i.e. CA characterized by threat versus deprivation), moderates the association between the SNS and PNS at rest and in response to acute social and nonsocial stressors. Participants included 97 adolescents ages 10-15 (Mage = 12.22, SDage = 1.68) experiencing a range of CA and one accompanying caregiver. Participants completed questionnaires assessing prior CA exposure. SNS and PNS responses were then continuously measured during rest and two stress tasks. First, results indicate a blunting effect of cumulative CA and CA characterized by threat (e.g. physical abuse) on resting SNS activity. Second, in moderation analyses assessing ANS coordination, threat exposure emerged as a significant moderator of the association between SNS and PNS reactivity to social stress. Results suggest that CA characterized by threat may specifically impact physiologic regulation by disrupting the coordination of the two branches of the ANS. Disentangling the independent and concurrent engagement of biological stress response systems following CA remains an important target for research to identify the etiology of aberrant stress reactivity patterns.

description: Prenatal adversity is associated with behavioral obesogenic features such as preference for palatable foods. Salt appetite may play a role in the development of adiposity and its consequences in individuals exposed to prenatal adversity, and sodium consumption involves individual differences in accumbal µ-opioid receptors function. We investigated the hedonic responses to salt and the levels of µ-opioid receptors and tyrosine hydroxylase in the nucleus accumbens (Nacc) of pups from an animal model of prenatal dietary restriction. In children, we evaluated the interaction between fetal growth and the genetic background associated with the accumbal µ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) expression on sodium consumption during a snack test. Sprague-Dawley dams were randomly allocated from pregnancy day 10 to receive an ad libitum (Adlib) or a 50% restricted (FR) diet. The pups’ hedonic responses to a salt solution (NaCl 2%) or water were evaluated on the first day of life. FR and Adlib pups differ in their hedonic responses to salt, and there were decreased levels of accumbal µ-opioid and p-µ-opioid receptors in FR pups. In humans, a test meal and genotyping from buccal epithelial cells were performed in 270 children (38 intrauterine growth restricted—IUGR) at 4 years old from a Canadian prospective cohort (MAVAN). The OPRM1 genetic score predicted the sodium intake in IUGR children, but not in controls. The identification of mechanisms involved in the brain response to prenatal adversity and its consequences in behavioral phenotypes and risk for chronic diseases later in life is important for preventive and therapeutic purposes.

description: Exposure to social adversity has been associated with cortisol dysregulation during pregnancy and in later childhood; less is known about how prenatal exposure to social stressors affects postnatal cortisol of infants. In a secondary analysis of data from a longitudinal study, we tested whether a pregnant woman’s reports of social adversity during the third trimester were associated with their infant’s resting cortisol at 1, 6, and 12 months postnatal. Our hypothesis was that prenatal exposure to social adversity would be associated with elevation of infants’ cortisol. Measures included prenatal survey reports of social stressors and economic hardship, and resting cortisol levels determined from infant saliva samples acquired at each postnatal timepoint. Data were analyzed using linear mixed effects models. The final sample included 189 women and their infants (46.56% assigned female sex at birth). Prenatal economic hardship was significantly associated with infant cortisol at 6 months postnatal; reports of social stressors were not significantly associated with cortisol at any time point. Factors associated with hardship, such as psychological distress or nutritional deficiencies, may alter fetal HPA axis development, resulting in elevated infant cortisol levels. Developmental changes unique to 6 months of age may explain effects at this timepoint. More work is needed to better comprehend the complex pre- and post-natal physiologic and behavioral factors that affect infant HPA axis development and function, and the modifying role of environmental exposures.

description: Studies show that prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) is related to risk for child autism, and to atypical amygdala functional connectivity in the autistic child. Yet, it remains unclear whether amygdala functional connectivity mediates the association between PNMS and autistic traits, particularly in young adult offspring. We recruited women who were pregnant during, or within 3 months of, the 1998 Quebec ice storm crisis, and assessed three aspects of PNMS: objective hardship (events experienced during the ice storm), subjective distress (post-traumatic stress symptoms experienced as a result of the ice storm) and cognitive appraisal. At age 19, 32 young adults (21 females) self-reported their autistic-like traits (i.e., aloof personality, pragmatic language impairment and rigid personality), and underwent structural MRI and resting-state functional MRI scans. Seed-to-voxel analyses were conducted to map the amygdala functional connectivity network. Mediation analyses were implemented with bootstrapping of 20,000 resamplings. We found that greater maternal objective hardship was associated with weaker functional connectivity between the left amygdala and the right postcentral gyrus, which was then associated with more pragmatic language impairment. Greater maternal subjective distress was associated with weaker functional connectivity between the right amygdala and the left precentral gyrus, which was then associated with more aloof personality. Our results demonstrate that the long-lasting effect of PNMS on offspring autistic-like traits may be mediated by decreased amygdala-sensorimotor circuits. The differences between amygdala-sensory and amygdala-motor pathways mediating different aspects of PNMS on different autism phenotypes need to be studied further.

description: Objectives This validation study investigated a flow cytometric apoptosis assay according to good manufacturing practice (GMP). Background Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a treatment for various immunological diseases and cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. It is based on the induction of apoptosis by 8-methoxypsoralene and ultraviolet A light. The quantification of apoptosis is therefore essential for ECP improvements. However, despite numerous publications on apoptosis, validated technical details are lacking. Methods and materials Mononuclear cells were collected by apheresis and treated by ECP or camptothecin. Samples taken before and after ECP were cultured for 24, 48 and 72 h and analysed for apoptosis and viability of T cells and monocytes by flow cytometry with Annexin V and 7-AAD staining. Accuracy of the assay, intra- and inter-assay precision and the pre-analytical and analytical stability of the analytes were the investigated parameters. Results Our data indicate that the median intra- and inter-assay precision coefficient of variation for T cells was 3.86% and 4.80%, respectively. Pre-analytical stability of T cells and monocytes was ensured during short-term storage for up to 2 h on ice. After staining, analytical stability was limited to 30 min, likely because of ongoing apoptosis and loss of monocytes due to plastic adhesion. Conclusion The results of this validation study show that the assay is GMP-compliant and that its reliability, accuracy and precision are acceptable. While pre-analytical stability of the cells was compatible with on-site procedures, our analytical stability data indicate that this assay is not suited for batch mode analysis of ECP products.

description: Early life adversity and chronic inflammation have both been associated with cognitive impairment and neural compromise. In this study, we investigated the interactions between a history of chronic adolescent stress (CAS) and repeated endotoxin exposure on behavior, synaptic mitochondria, and microglia in adult male and female Wistar rats. Adult rats from chronic stress and control conditions were exposed to either repeated endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS) or saline injections every 3 days for 9 weeks. In both sexes, repeated LPS, regardless of stress history, impaired working memory in the Y maze. Regarding spatial memory, LPS impaired function for females; whereas, CAS altered function in males. Although males had an increase in anxiety-like behavior shortly after CAS, there were no long-term effects on anxiety-like behavior or social interaction observed in males or females. Stress did not alter synaptic mitochondrial function in either sex. Repeated LPS altered synaptic mitochondrial function such that ATP production was increased in females only. There were no observed increases in IBA-1 positive cells within the hippocampus for either sex. However, LPS and CAS altered microglia morphology in females. Impact of repeated LPS was evident at the terminal endpoint with increased spleen weight in both sexes and decreased adrenal weight in males only. Circulating cytokines were not impacted by repeated LPS at the terminal endpoint, but evidence of CAS effects on cytokines in females were evident. These data suggest a long-term impact of chronic stress and an impact of repeated endotoxin challenge in adulthood; however, not all physiological and behavioral metrics examined were impacted by the paradigm employed in this study and the two environmental challenges rarely interacted.

description: Hintergrund
Anfang 2020 wurde deutschlandweit das Gesundheitswesen bedingt durch die coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-Pandemie auf einen Notbetrieb umgestellt. In Bayern wurde durch das zuständige Innen- und Gesundheitsministerium zu Beginn der ersten Welle eine Allgemeinverfügung erlassen, in der unter anderem die Organisation der Krankenhausbelegung, Neukonzeption der Informationstechnologie(IT)-Steuerung und Meldepflichten angeordnet wurden. Ziel dieser Auswertung war es, die Bedeutung der universitären Medizin für die stationäre Behandlung von COVID-19-Patienten in Bayern zu untersuchen.

Methoden
Es erfolgte eine retrospektive Auswertung aller stationär behandelten COVID-19-Patienten, die über das Modul IVENA Sonderlage (IVENA eHealth, [IVENA, interdisziplinärer Versorgungsnachweis, mainis IT-Service GmbH, Offenbach am Main, Deutschland]) gemeldet wurden. Hierbei wurden die gemeldeten Behandlungstage aller bayerischen Kliniken, die an der Versorgung von COVID-19-Patienten teilgenommen haben, ausgewertet.

Ergebnisse
Im Rahmen der ersten Welle der COVID-19-Pandemie wurden 90,9 % der Behandlungstage von kommunalen und öffentlichen sowie privaten Krankenhäusern in Bayern bereitgestellt. Neben der medizinischen Versorgung von COVID-19-Patienten mit komplexen Verläufen (20 % der Intensivstations[ICU]- und Intermediate-care-Stations [IMC]-Behandlungstage) leistete die Universitätsmedizin in Bayern mit ihren Kliniken einen relevanten wissenschaftlichen Beitrag und war wesentlich an der Beratung von Ärzten, Krankenhäusern und Politik zur Pandemie beteiligt.

description: The differentiation of human blood monocytes (MO), the post-mitotic precursors of macrophages (MAC) and dendritic cells (moDC), is accompanied by the active turnover of DNA methylation, but the extent, consequences and mechanisms of DNA methylation changes remain unclear. Here, we profile and compare epigenetic landscapes during IL-4/GM-CSF-driven MO differentiation across the genome and detect several thousand regions that are actively demethylated during culture, both with or without accompanying changes in chromatin accessibility or transcription factor (TF) binding. We further identify TF that are globally associated with DNA demethylation processes. While interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is found to control hallmark dendritic cell functions with less impact on DNA methylation, early growth response 2 (EGR2) proves essential for MO differentiation as well as DNA methylation turnover at its binding sites. We also show that ERG2 interacts with the 5mC hydroxylase TET2, and its consensus binding sequences show a characteristic DNA methylation footprint at demethylated sites with or without detectable protein binding. Our findings reveal an essential role for EGR2 as epigenetic pioneer in human MO and suggest that active DNA demethylation can be initiated by the TET2-recruiting TF both at stable and transient binding sites. DNA methylation turnover is an essential epigenetic process during development. Here, the authors look at the changes in DNA methylation during the differentiation of post-mitotic human monocytes (MO), and find that EGR2 interacts with TET2 and is required for DNA demethylation at its binding sites; revealing EGR2 as an epigenetic pioneer factor in human MO.

description: Background and purpose To determine whether neurofilament light chain (NfL), a promising serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker of neuroaxonal damage, predicts functional outcome in preterm infants with neonatal brain injury. Methods Our prospective observational study used a sensitive single-molecule array assay to measure serum and CSF NfL concentrations in preterm infants with moderate to severe peri/intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH). We determined temporal serum and CSF NfL profiles from the initial diagnosis of PIVH until term-equivalent age and their association with clinical and neurodevelopmental outcome until 2 years of age assessed by Bayley Scales of Infant Development (3rd edition). We fitted univariate and multivariate logistic regression models to determine risk factors for poor motor and cognitive development. Results The study included 48 infants born at < 32 weeks of gestation. Median serum NfL (sNfL) at PIVH diagnosis was 251 pg/mL [interquartile range (IQR) 139-379], decreasing markedly until term-equivalent age to 15.7 pg/mL (IQR 11.1-33.5). CSF NfL was on average 113-fold higher (IQR 40-211) than corresponding sNfL values. Additional cerebral infarction (n = 25)-but not post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus requiring external ventricular drainage (n = 29) nor any other impairment-was independently associated with sNfL. Multivariate logistic regression models identified sNfL as an independent predictor of poor motor outcome or death at 1 and 2 years. Conclusions Serum neurofilament light chain dynamics in the first weeks of life predict motor outcome in preterm infants with PIVH.

description: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and cortisol release appear to have contrasting effects on stress perception during stressful tasks. This study aimed to investigate anticipatory examination stress in college students by considering DHEA, cortisol, psycho-emotional aspects and examination performance. Seventy-six students (66 females, 10 males; age range 18–25 years) provided saliva samples and completed questionnaires in two sessions 48 hours apart. During the second session, the students performed the examination. The questionnaires used were the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and the Brief-Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory. DHEA, cortisol, anxiety and negative affect showed an anticipatory rise before the examination (all ps < 0.001). This rise of DHEA and cortisol was associated with lower positive affect (p = 0.001 and p = 0.043, respectively). However, only the DHEA anticipatory levels were linked to poorer examination marks (p = 0.020). Higher levels of the DHEA/cortisol ratio in anticipation of the examination were related to lower scores on the support-seeking strategy (p = 0.022). There was no association between DHEA and cortisol levels and anxiety, negative affect, active and avoidant coping strategies, or academic record. These results suggest that how DHEA and cortisol respond in anticipation of examination stress significantly impacts students’ emotional well-being during examination periods and how they cope with stress. They also suggest that levels of DHEA in anticipation of an academic stressor have detrimental effects on stress management.
