  • Infection Load as a Predisposing Factor for Somatoform Disorders

    Tamara E Lacourt, Jan H Houtveen et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2013

    OBJECTIVE: Somatoform disorders (SDs) are characterized by chronic multiple functional somatic (FS) symptoms. It has been suggested that infections may be triggers for FS symptoms to occur, pointing to the immune system as a pathogenic factor in their development. The current study aimed to compare the prevalence of infections (i.e., infection load) in the history of patients with SDs with that of matched controls. METHODS: Samples (n = 185) were…

  • Immune and Endocrine Function in Burnout Syndrome

    Paula Mc Mommersteeg, Paula M C Mommersteeg et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2006

    Objective: Burnout is a stress-induced work-related syndrome. It is associated with a higher incidence of infections possibly pointing to a compromised immune system. In the present study, endocrine and ex vivo immune function of severe cases of burnout were investigated. Methods: Endocrine and immune variables were compared in 56 persons with burnout and 38 healthy control subjects. Cortisol after awakening, after a low-dose dexamethasone, and d…

  • Overcommitment to Work Is Associated With Changes in Cardiac Sympathetic Regulation

    Tanja Vrijkotte, Tanja G M Vrijkotte et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2004

    Objective: Work stress is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Exaggerated cardiovascular reactivity to work-related stressors or incomplete recovery after work is a proposed mechanism underlying this increase in risk. This study examined the effects of work stress on 24-hour profiles of the pre-ejection period (PEP), a measure of cardiac sympathetic activity, obtained from ambulatory measurement of the impedance ca…

  • Work Stress and Metabolic and Hemostatic Risk Factors

    Tanja Vrijkotte, Tanja G M Vrijkotte et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1999

    OBJECTIVE: A high level of work stress has been associated with cardiovascular disease. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. This study examined the effect of work stress on a cluster of metabolic and hemostatic risk factors. METHODS: Blood was collected three times, on the first, third, and fifth day of a work week, from 124 middle-aged, white-collar workers. Metabolic measures were insulin, gluc…

  • Chronic Work Stress Is Associated With Incomplete Heart Rate Recovery at the End of the Work Week

  • Methodological Guidelines for Impedance Cardiography

    Open AccessAndrew Sherwood, Michael T Allen et al.ARTICLEPsychophysiology1990

    Impedance cardiography was introduced over 20 years ago as a noninvasive and unobtrusive technique for measuring systolic time intervals and cardiac output. Although our understanding of the physiological events reflected in the impedance cardiogram has become more refined, the technique's theoretical basis remains somewhat controversial and acceptance of its validity has relied heavily upon empirical validation. Largely as a consequence of this …
