An Integrated mHealth App for Smoking Cessation in Black Smokers With Anxiety: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial by Michael S Businelle, Lorra Garey, Matthew W Gallagher, Emily T Hébert, Anka Vujanovic, Adam Alexander, Krista Kezbers, Cameron Matoska, Jillian Robison, Audrey Montgomery, Michael J Zvolensky

“…ObjectiveThis study aimed to culturally adapt and initially test a novel mobile intervention (ie, Mobile Anxiety Sensitivity Program for Smoking [MASP]) that targets anxiety sensitivity (AS; a proxy for difficulty and responsivity to interoceptive stress) among Black smokers. The MASP intervention is culturally informed to address interoceptive stress management difficulties among Black smokers and is thus hypothesized to facilitate smoking cessation. …”

Brain signatures of chronic gut inflammation by Caitlin V. Hall, Caitlin V. Hall, Caitlin V. Hall, Graham Radford-Smith, Graham Radford-Smith, Graham Radford-Smith, Emma Savage, Conor Robinson, Luca Cocchi, Luca Cocchi, Rosalyn J. Moran

“…We investigated these dynamics at a finer sub-network resolution, showing a CD-specific and highly selective enhancement of connectivity between the insula and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), regions implicated in cognitive-interoceptive appraisal mechanisms. Alongside overall higher anxiety scores in CD, we also provide preliminary support to suggest that the strength of chronic interoceptive hyper-signalling in the brain co-occurs with disease duration. …”

Of Soldiers and Their Ghosts: Are We Ready for a Review of PTSD Evidence? by Adonis Sfera, Jonathan J. Anton, Hassan Imran, Zisis Kozlakidis, Carolina Klein, Carolina Osorio

“…We also examine the link between this pathology and faulty interoceptive awareness, surmising that hypertension and decreased heart rate variability are PTSD risk factors, while lipopolysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide binding protein, soluble CD14, microbial cell-free DNA, acyloxyacyl hydrolase, and IL22 comprise early detection markers of this disorder.…”
