Drought-compounded stress and immune function in Kenyan pastoralist boys and girls occupying contrasting climate zones by Bilinda Straight, Charles E. Hilton, Charles Owuor Olungah, Belinda L. Needham, Erica Tyler, Lora Iannotti, Theodore Zava, Melanie A. Martin, Eleanor Brindle

“…We aim to holistically capture socio-environmental relationships characterised by climate sensitive livelihoods and forms of precarity exacerbated by climate change.Subjects and methods Qualitative and quantitative methods were integrated to understand the embodied toll of hazards that Samburu pastoralists faced based on a sample of 161 young people. Quantitatively, we tested for associations of psychosocial stressors with both psychological distress and cell-mediated immune function (assessed through differences in IgG antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus).Results Qualitatively, young Samburu reported drought, food and water insecurity, wildlife encounters, and war exposure. …”

Functional resting state connectivity is differentially associated with IL-6 and TNF-α in depression and in healthy controls by Christian N. Schmitz, Gebhard Sammer, Elena Neumann, Carlo Blecker, Gerhard Gründer, Hana Adolphi, Eva Kathrin Lamadé, Bruno Pedraz-Petrozzi

“…However, there is scant documentation of how inflammatory processes are associated with neural activity in patients with depression. We therefore tested the hypothesis that the peripheral inflammation markers IL-6 and TNF-α correlate with neural resting state network functional connectivity in depression using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and compared it with healthy controls. …”
