stress is the way that our body responds to something that is out of the normal. when we are under stress, our body makes chemical and physical changes to try to maintain it. everyone responds to stressful status in their own way. researches show anxiety and stress during pregnancy can have both immediate and long-term effects on her offspring. in addition, the emotional state of the pregnant m...

Learning Problem Solving Methods in order to Reduce Stress and Anxiety, and Increase Achievement Motivation T. Aboutalebi Ahmadi Learning to solve problems can help reduce anxiety and stress on the one hand, and increase chances of success, on the other. A sample of 78 freshmen at a teacher training college was randomly selected from among 156, and then divided into two groups of ...

background: the purpose of this study was to perform the creating opportunities for parent empowerment (cope) program for iranian mothers and evaluate its effectiveness on stress,  anxiety, and participation of mothers who have premature infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (nicus). materials and methods: a randomized clinical trial was conducted with 90 mothers of premature in...

Introduction: Understanding the Moon's thermal and magmatic evolution entails understanding the origin of the earliest crust, in particular whether it formed from a magma ocean [1]. The energy of late stage planet-building impacts would be at least sufficient to form magma oceans and possibly enough to melt whole planets [2]. The solidification history of the magma ocean will place constraints ...

Recent estimates of the magnitude and orientation of lithospheric stresses are reviewed. Data come from a variety of sources including earthquake focal mechanisms, fault slip data, young volcanic dikes and feeders, in-situ stress measurements at depth, lithospheric flexure models, microstructure paleopiezometry, and consideration of constraints on maximum stress differences from laboratory-dete...

We have read with interest the work by Lesgards et al. (1) on the effect of different lifestyle factors on their test system, which measures the resistance of red blood cells to an oxidative challenge. Their study showed that psychologic stress is a major factor influencing antioxidant status. This finding encouraged us to share our experiences of a earlier study that resulted in similar conclu...

Exposure of homeothermic animals to low environmental temperature is associated with oxidative stress in several body tissues. Because cold exposure induces a condition of functional hyperthyroidism, the observation that tissue oxidative stress also happens in experimental hyperthyroidism, induced by 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T(3)) treatment, suggests that this hormone is responsible for the oxi...

This manuscript summarizes the proceedings of the symposium entitled, "Stress, Palatable Food and Reward", that was chaired by Drs. Linda Rinaman and Yvonne Ulrich-Lai at the 2014 Neurobiology of Stress Workshop held in Cincinnati, OH. This symposium comprised research presentations by four neuroscientists whose work focuses on the biological bases for complex interactions among stress, food in...
