In recent decades, scientists with growing interest in spirituality have built a strong case for the beneficial relationship between religiosity/spirituality and physi...

Biopsychosocial Wellbeing and Its Relationship With Geomagnetic Field Fluctuations in Lithuania. Doctoral Dissertation, Medical and Health Sciences, Public Health (M 004), Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, 2020. …

Effectiveness of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback is dependent on the relationship between the measured respiratory-heart rate coherence (CHR) and the resonant frequency (RFB) breathing. CHR is driven by the central autonomic network which consists of the interplay between the components of...

The study presented in this dissertation underscores the existence of causal relation between emotional stress and cellular oxidative stress and posits the statement that improvement in quality of emotions reduces oxidative stress. …

The language of the "heart" is pervasive in contemporary culture as denoting the core of someone’s character or innermost feelings.

Chronic cancer-related symptoms (stress, fatigue, pain, depression, insomnia) may be linked with sympathetic nervous system over-activation and autonomic imbalance. Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) is an indicator of autonomic dysregulation that is commonly observed among cancer survivors...

Environmental effects on human physiopathology are revisited herein from a chronobiologic viewpoint, with a focus on the cardiovascular system. Physiological variables undergo recurring changes that are predictable in a statistical, albeit not deterministic way. Biological rhythms cover a broad rang...
