In this cross-sectional, observational study, the association between lethargy and vagal tone was analyzed in thirteen low-risk preterm infants. Infants underwent behavioral assessment and vagal tone measurement indexed by high-frequency heart-rate variability (HF-HRV). A lower vagal tone cluster was associated with greater lethargy (p = .05), reduced handling (p = .003), excitability (p = .006), higher skin stress indicators (p = .13), and central nervous system stress indicators (p = .10) than cluster with a higher vagal tone cluster. A lower vagal tone could indicate autonomic nervous system dysregulation or immaturity, leading to neurobehavioral challenges, such as lethargy and further neurodevelopmental difficulties. ©The authors ©Informa UK Limited ©Developmental Neuropsychology.

Self-concept has been associated with health-related behaviors and emotional self-regulation, which can improve sleep. However, its involvement in sleep quality in a healthy adolescent population has been little studied. This study evaluated the association between self-concept and sleep quality in adolescents adjusting for sleep/wake habits. The cross-sectional study included 1,751 adolescents, 54% females, with an age of M = 16.76 ± 1.04 years. The information was collected through an electronic survey that contained the Patient Health Questionnaire, Sleep Habits Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Self-Concept Scale. A significant association between self-concept, adjustment for adolescents´ characteristics and sleep/wake habits was observed (R2 = .17, F = 26.61, p < .001). That is, in addition to the adolescent habits, self-concept also contributed to the explanation of sleep/wake habits. These results reinforce the idea that the self-concept can be an essential factor that contributes to better sleep quality, despite the habits of adolescents.

Indicators of vulnerability associated with less healthy circadian rhythms in undergraduate medical interns
(2019)

To evaluate the association between circadian health parameters and psychological and biological vulnerability, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 15 undergraduate medical interns using the Brief Resilience Scale, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, and an ambulatory circadian monitoring device. Circadian Health construct was confirmed by factor analysis. Vulnerability factors (history of depression and low resilience) were associated to lower circadian health of motor activity and temperature rhythms. The findings suggest that not only being depressed but also having had depressive episodes in the past, as well as having low resilience, are associated with chronodisruption, and may increase the risk for developing new episodes of depression.

The Interactive Effect of Positive Mental Health and Subjective Sleep Quality on Depressive Symptoms in High School Students
(2018)
Tafoya, Silvia A.
;
Aldrete Cortez, Vania Rocío
Objective/Background: The objective of this study was to observe the effect of positive mental health (PMH) and subjective sleep quality (SQ) on depressive symptoms in high school students. Participants: This cross-sectional study evaluated 2,186 students (55% female and 45% male) with a mean age of 16.8 years (SD ± 0.7) at 20 private high schools in Mexico City. Methods: An electronic survey was used, which included a questionnaire on sleep habits that is a Spanish-language adaptation of Rosenthal's Sleep-Wake Activity Inventory, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Morningness-Eveningness Scale for Children and Adolescents (MESC), the combined scales to evaluate positive aspects of mental health, and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9).

Skin to skin care and heart rate regulation
(2015)

Poblano, Adrián
Dear Editor Recently we read the papers by Neu et al. and Mörelius et al. [1], [2]. Their research documented cortisol co-regulation between mothers and infants during skin to skin care (SSC). Even though both studies' results exhibited lower cortisol levels, in one study with marginal differences [1] and in the other, with significant differences [2] between a group of premature infants SSC treated, as compared to the standard care (SC) group, only Mörelius et al. found cortisol co-regulation at four months of age, as an index of neuro-endrocrine effect of SSC [2]. ©Early Human Development

Reconceptualizing the newborn: from “feed-sleep-clean” to behavioral state, stress, and self-regulation surveillance as the foundation of neurodevelopment
(Publicidad Permanyer, SLU, 2026)
Aldrete Cortez, Vania Rocío
;
Rendón-Macías, Mario Enrique
Dear Editor: Clinical routines often portray a newborn as someone who “feeds, sleeps, and is cleaned”; the medical add-on is “and is not ill.” This minimalist lens has long guided discharge and follow-up; however, it misses the display of an organized behavioral repertoire in neonates-states, transitions, and stress/self-regulation signals-that support later cognitive and socio-emotional development. Synactive theory frames early life as a dynamic interplay of autonomic, motor, state, attentional/interactive, and self-regulatory subsystems; according to this view, autonomic and motor organization, together with the behavioral state system, are foundational, while self-regulation integrates across these and other domains to organize subsequent development. When we treat infants as behaviorally competent beings, we change what we do: bedside care naturally incorporates state surveillance, reading of stress and self-regulation signals, and caregiver-infant synchrony as early markers of neurodevelopmental health. Contemporary neurobiological work has supported this integrated view by showing how wakeful, autonomic, and affective arousal are intertwined dimensions of a common regulatory system. © The authors © Boletín Médico del Hospital Infantil de México © Publicidad Permanyer.

Aldrete Cortez, Vania Rocío
Señor editor: En diferentes países se recurre al cambio de horario (CH) para obtener más tiempo de luz solar en el trabajo y en la escuela, y para ahorrar electricidad, sin embargo, dos de sus consecuencias, el efecto de la privación del dormir en la calidad de sueño (CS) y la somnolencia excesiva diurna (SED), no han sido bien investigadas. Realizamos un estudio de la CS y la SED antes y después del CH en estudiantes voluntarios de dos universidades, una de ellas en la Ciudad de México y la otra en Cuernavaca, en el verano de 2019; se excluyeron sujetos con trastornos neurológicos, psiquiátricos y del sueño. ©Los autores ©Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública ©Salud Pública.

Introduction: Teenage pregnancy has a negative impact both on mother's health and on her offspring quality life and development. In spite of its important social relevance, behavioral factors that can favor its occurrence have not been extensively explored. Objective: To compare symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity between adolescents with and without a history of pregnancy. Method: A sociodemographic record and the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder questionnaire (ADD) of the Neuropsi instrument were applied to 60 adolescents: 30 cases and 30 controls. The ADD was answered by the adolescents themselves, as well as by a close relative (parent or spouse) or by one of their teachers. Results: From the perspective of others (parents and teachers), adolescents with a history of pregnancy showed more symptoms of attention deficit and higher attention deficit and hyperactivity overall score (both p ≤ 0.01). In addition, ADD overall score was found to be associated with adolescent pregnancy (OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.01-1.24, p = 0.036). Conclusions: Symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity can represent another factor associated with teenage pregnancy. Copyright: © 2018 Secretaría de Salud

Pregnant women have been considered a high-risk group for SARS-CoV-2 infection; the impact of the disease on the health of a mother and her child is still being studied. The emotional impact of the pandemic on pregnant women has been extensively studied. Emotional distress is proposed as a perspective to explain the emotional manifestations in women during this stage as something common rather than pathological. The objective of this study was to explore the emotional experience of women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 towards the end of their pregnancy, during the first and second waves of COVID-19 in Mexico. A qualitative study was carried out: 18 pregnant women with COVID-19 were interviewed. A thematic analysis of the data was performed, resulting in 3 main themes and 14 subthemes. The COVID-19-infected mothers-to-be experienced mild to moderate emotional distress. It was more intense for those with comorbidities. This distress was aggravated during obstetrical complications and comorbidities, as well as during COVID-19 and postpartum. The emotional distress was appeased by both the perception of medical care and social support. The emotional distress of pregnant women with COVID-19 requires emotional support to reduce its impact.
