SUMMARY:SBSM Disease A Year (DAY) Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Conveners: Thomas Ritz (Southern Methodist University) & Melissa Rosenkranz (University of Wisconsin-Madison) \n  \nBackground & Aims: \nAsthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects close to 350 million people worldwide. As one of Franz Alexander’s “Holy Seven” psychosomatic diseases\, it has confounded medical and psychological scientists for a long time. Biomedical research has made strides in recent decades\, highlighting roles of airway hyperreactivity\, T-helper cell-driven inflammation\, epithelial damage\, and remodeling of the airways as major factors in the course of the disease. At the same time\, research from a psychobiological angle has identified major roles of socioeconomic\, behavioral\, and experiential factors in the etiology\, pathophysiology\, and management of asthma\, with ongoing efforts to delineate mechanistic pathways that underlie such associations. \nThis symposium will bring together biomedical and psychosomatic expertise to review the state of current knowledge on asthma in these areas of inquiry\, with the goal to stimulate further cross-disciplinary dialogue and synthesis of ideas\, and thereby develop an agenda for both future collaborative research and clinical intervention. \nRegistration Fees: \nMember: $75.00\nNon-Member: $100.00\nMember Trainee: $25.00 \n*CME and CE will be offered for this meeting. \nTopics: \nAsthma pathophysiology: Nizar Jarjour (University of Wisconsin)\, Melissa Rosenkranz (University of Wisconsin)\, Thomas Ritz (Southern Methodist University) \nAsthma development\, hygiene hypothesis\, & genes and environment: Donata Vercelli (University of Arizona)\, Rosalind Wright (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai)\, Paul Forsythe (University of Alberta) \nAsthma diversity and disparities: Juan Celedon (University of Pittsburgh)\, Edith Chen (Northwestern University) \nAsthma interoception and dyspnea: Paul Davenport (University of Florida)\, Andreas von Leupoldt (KU Leuven)\, Jonathan Feldman (Yeshiva University) \nAsthma treatment: Ratko Djukanovic (University of Southampton)\, Thomas Ritz (Southern Methodist University)\, Melissa Rosenkranz (University of Wisconsin)

SUMMARY:SBSM Clinical Science Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:The SBSM is happy to announce the second session in our new webinar in our Clinical Science Webinar Series! \nIn this webinar series\, we will discuss cutting-edge research and its application to clinical care. In our next session\, we will discuss mediators of a mindfulness-based intervention’s impact on depression in breast cancer survivors. \nTitle: Mediators of a mindfulness-based intervention for younger breast cancer survivors. Effects on depressive symptoms.  \nPresenter: J. Richard Tyrus Korecki\, M.A. \nThursday\, January 16\, 2024\n12:30-1:00 pm EST \nAll are welcome! \nDescription: Despite growing evidence for the beneficial effects of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs)\, the pathways through which MBIs such as Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs) work are poorly understood. Thus\, the current paper examined five theory-based mechanisms through which MAPs might influence depressive symptoms in younger breast cancer survivors\, including two general emotion regulation strategies (rumination and self-kindness) as well as three stressor-specific cognitive and emotional processes relevant to depression (intrusive thoughts about cancer\, cancer-related worry\, and meaning and peace in life). Results identified both general and stressor-specific mediators of MAPs’ effects on depression\, which were evident at both post-intervention and at 6-month follow-up (FU)\, highlighting key pathways that could be leveraged to optimize intervention outcomes in breast cancer survivors and other groups. \nPresenter: Mr. Korecki is a fourth-year doctoral student in Health Psychology at the University of California\, Los Angeles. His research focuses on health and resilience among individuals in difficult life circumstances\, mindfulness-based interventions for stress management\, and psychological factors that impact inflammatory biology\, resilience\, and thriving in the face of difficulty. \nIf you are interested in learning about this topic beforehand\, please consider taking a look at the following:\n•    Korecki JRT\, Ganz PA\, Partridge AH\, Wolff AC\, Petersen L\, Crespi CM\, Bower JE.

SUMMARY:Clinical Science Webinar - Beyond the Operating Room: Brain Vulnerability and Delirium in Cardiac Surgery
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Monika Sadlonova\, MD\, MBA \n  \nDescription: Postoperative delirium (POD) is one of the most frequent and clinically relevant neuropsychiatric complications after cardiac surgery and is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes. In this webinar\, Dr. Sadlonova will present findings from the prospective interdisciplinary FINd DElirium RIsk factors (FINDERI) study\, which investigated clinical\, cognitive\, surgical\, inflammatory\, and neurodegenerative factors associated with POD and postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The session will discuss how findings on perioperative risk factors and emerging blood-based biomarkers can advance our understanding of the vulnerable brain and inform multimodal preoperative risk stratification. Finally\, the presentation will address how these findings can be translated from risk prediction toward targeted delirium prevention and individualized perioperative care. \n  \nPresenter: Dr. Monika Sadlonova is a Attending Physician and Associate Professor in psychosomatic medicine with a clinical and research focus on psychocardiology\, perioperative brain health\, postoperative delirium\, and cardiovascular prevention. Her research focuses on the heart–brain–mind interface\, particularly the identification of patients at increased risk for adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes following cardiac surgery and the development of multimodal approaches for risk prediction and prevention. Her work integrates psychosomatic medicine\, cardiac surgery\, geriatrics\, psychiatry\, and cardiovascular medicine\, with the goal of translating interdisciplinary research into personalized perioperative care. \n  \nIf you are interested in learning about this topic beforehand\, please consider taking a look at the following: \n  \n· von Arnim CAF\, Sadlonova M\, Derad C\, Hohberg M\, Celano CM\, Günther I\, Titsch T\, Krasiuk I\, Packroß K\, Becker MM\, Rediske AI\, Süttmann NP\, Knopp CM\, Heinemann S\, Itting PT\, Kutschka I\, Morgado B\, Esselmann H\, Baraki H\, Asendorf T\, Hansen N\, Wiltfang J; FIND Delirium Risk Factors (FINDERI) investigators.

SUMMARY:Webinar - The National Couples’ Health and Time Stress Biology Study (NCHAT-BIO): Opportunity to Use Newly Publicly Available Data
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Lisa M. Christian\, PhD and Claire Kamp Dush\, PhD \n  \nBackground: Sexual minority populations are growing\, experience elevated physical and mental health risks\, and have unique stressor exposures. However\, biopsychosocial research on sexual minority individuals at the population level remains limited. Addressing this gap\, we launched the National Couples’ Health and Time Stress Biology Study (NCHAT-BIO)\, the first US-based study focused on stress biology within a large\, diverse sample of married/cohabiting sexual minority and heterosexual adults. NCHAT-BIO capitalized on the unique opportunity of NCHAT\, a population-representative US sample which intentionally oversampled sexual minority respondents. \n  \nMethods. A total of 950 participants completed at-home dried blood spot (DBS) collection with return by mail. After exclusions\, 787 respondent samples were assayed: 44.5% sexual minority\, 56.9% assigned female at birth\, 55.3% who identified as women\, 25% with non-White racial identity\, and mean age=42.69 (SD=10.19). Samples were analyzed for interleukin-6 (IL-6)\, C-reactive protein (CRP)\, and Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) antibodies. Final analytic samples were: IL-6 (n=452)\, CRP (n=663)\, EBV (n=647\, including n=84 EBV negative). These biomarker data can be merged with rich NCHAT survey responses\, time diaries with an embedded Experience Sampling Method (ESM) component\, and contextual state- and county-level indicators. \n  \nDissemination. Wave 1 NCHAT-BIO data have been deposited at ICPSR for public release. Wave 1 NCHAT survey data are also at ICPSR\, and the two archives will be linked to facilitate integrated use. \n  \nFuture Directions. Whole blood data collection from Wave 3 NCHAT participants began in 2026. Planned assays\, which will also become publicly available\, include IL-6\, CRP\, and epigenetic aging (per DNA methylation).
