With regard to chronic pain syndromes, DSB techniques being part of many physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines such as yoga, Qi-Gong, or Tai Chi are integrated into multimodal treatment approaches.

Our results suggest that the way of breathing decisively influences autonomic and pain processing, thereby identifying DSB in concert with relaxation as the essential feature in the modulation of sympathetic arousal and pain perception.īreathing, Mood, Pain, Relaxation, Respiration, Skin Conductance Level Introductionĭeep and slow breathing (DSB) techniques are widely used in a variety of diseases encompassing somatic disorders such as hypertension and pulmonary diseases as well as psychiatric disorders including anxious and depressive syndromes or stress-related disorders. Both breathing interventions showed similar reductions in negative feelings (tension, anger, and depression).Ĭonclusion.

The mean skin conductance levels indicating sympathetic activity decreased significantly during the relaxing DSB intervention but not during the attentive DSB. The mean detection and pain thresholds showed a significant increase resulting from the relaxing DSB, whereas no significant changes of these thresholds were found associated with the attentive DSB. Thermal detection and pain thresholds for cold and hot stimuli and profile of mood states were examined before and after the breathing sessions. The skin conductance levels, indicating sympathetic tone, were measured during the breathing maneuvers. In the relaxing DSB intervention, the subjects relaxed during the breathing training. In the attentive DSB intervention, subjects were asked to breathe guided by a respiratory feedback task requiring a high degree of concentration and constant attention. In order to disentangle the effects of relaxation and respiration, we investigated two different DSB techniques at the same respiration rates and depths on pain perception, autonomic activity, and mood in 16 healthy subjects. Deep and slow breathing (DSB) techniques, as a component of various relaxation techniques, have been reported as complementary approaches in the treatment of chronic pain syndromes, but the relevance of relaxation for alleviating pain during a breathing intervention was not evaluated so far. Our study demonstrates the efficacy of combining multiple biogeochemical tracers to improve HAB monitoring efforts and identify the main routes of DA transfer across habitats and trophic levels.Objective. Collectively, our results show that DA was produced a few kilometers from the coastline, and anchovies were the most powerful DA vector in coastal-pelagic zones (their DA loads exceeded the 20 ppm FDA regulatory limits for human consumption), while mussels did not contain detectable DA and only reflect in situ DA, δ 13C, and δ 15N values. Low in the liver of stranded sea lions and their generalist foraging tendencies limits our ability to use them as sentinels for DA outbreaks in a specific geographic area. In contrast, krill, market squid, and juvenile rockfish accumulated minimal DA and had comparatively broad isotopic niches, suggesting a lower capacity to serve as vectors because of potential differences in diet or feeding in isotopically distinct locations. The narrow overlapping isotopic niches between anchovies and sardines suggest similar diets and trophic positions, but striking differences in indicate a degree of specialization, thus, resource partitioning. Our results highlight an inshore-offshore variation in krill δ 13C values and DA concentrations ( ppm) in anchovies indicating differences in coastal productivity and DA accumulation.

Tissue samples were collected from 27 species across three habitats in the summer of 20 (time periods without prominent HABs). This study combines stable isotopes of carbon (δ 13C) and nitrogen (δ 15N) from bulk muscle tissue with DA measurements from viscera to identify the foraging strategies of important DA vectors and predators in Monterey Bay, CA. Given the effects of harmful algal blooms (HABs) on human and wildlife health, understanding how domoic acid (DA) is accumulated and transferred through food webs is critical for recognizing the most affected marine communities and predicting ecosystem effects.
