Stress response to trauma

Trauma - logistics and stress response

4 ABSTRACT Background: Trauma is a major cause of death and disability. Adverse events, such as prolonged prehospital time, hypoxia, hypotension and/or hyperventilation have been reported to correlate to poor outcome. Adequate cortisol levels are essential for survival after major trauma. In hypotensive critically ill patients, lack of sufficient amount of cortisol can be suspected, and a conce...

The Biochemical Response to Trauma

The changes that occur in the concentration of chemical constituents of plasma and damaged tissue following trauma have been investigated for many years. The biochemical changes following burns (1) and hemorrhage (2), the protein changes under similar types of injury (3), and those in the nitrogenous compounds (4) have been studied in some detail, and Engel (5) has recently reviewed several asp...

Response of two soybean cultivars to moisture stress

Response of Badami-Zarand Pistachio Rootstock to Salinity Stress

Salinity is one of the most important problems that restrict cultivation of crops in arid and semi-arid regions. Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) is one of the most important trees that grow in these restricts. In this greenhouse study, the effects of salinity on growth of pistachio rootstock Badami evaluated. Seedlings were grown in plastic bags containing perlite. Salinity was imposed, by adding ...

Response of Two Indica Rice Varieties to Salt Stress

  Salinity is one of the most challenging problems that adversely affects growth and development of plants. Therefore, understanding of the mechanisms that enable plants to adapt to salinity stress will ultimately help in the selection of stress tolerant cultivars for exploiting saline soils. The main objective of this study was to examine the effects of NaCl on some physiological and biochemic...
