Abstract Introduction Disruptive physician behaviour can affect patients’ safety. If surgical trainees throughout higher education experience disruptive behaviour, impaired work-life may follow. Therefore, we studied if surgeons were prone to in form of narcissism (N), hostility, perceived stress and the presence meaning life. Methods General UK National Health Service from 2 hospitals particip...

In the course of training and in their work, military personnel are often required to spend considerable time under intense conditions with other people. Due to the performance demands and the intensity of the situations, the interactions between individuals may become charged with negative feelings of frustration, anger, as well as a sense of being without support. When these feelings are expe...

Stress is common for all organisms either in the form of eustress (beneficial) or as distress (harmful). Stress is highly diverse in present world and its effects in organisms are well studied. This study is a comparative effect of stress in the generation of reactive oxygen species in albino Wistar rats, which are seldom reported. Here animals were grouped into four and the test animals of eac...

In the diagnosis of stressful conditions in humans and other animals, ionic indicators remain practically unused. this work, we studied changes concentrations sodium ions blood plasma freshwater fish under stress caused by stressors different quality quantity. Most experiments were carried out on adult bream (Abramis brama L) from Rybinsk Reservoir. Separate duplicated individuals roach (Rutilu...

Abstract Monitoring the concentration of glucocorticoid metabolites (GCMs) in faecal samples is a non-invasive tool for physiological stress evaluation, particularly useful when studying wild species. However, both negative and positive stimuli (distress eustress, respectively) can lead to rise glucocorticoids. Thus, besides validating whether GCM faeces reflects endogenous adrenal activity, we...

OBJECTIVES Patients' beliefs and expectations about their pain have been identified as important disabling factors in chronic musculoskeletal pain. Besides fear-avoidance beliefs and pain-related fear, cognitions such as thought suppression as well as pain/task persistence behavior have been shown to be associated with pain and disability. The aim of this report is to present a critical evaluat...

Abstract Plasma medicine refers to the application of nonequilibrium plasmas at approximately body temperature, for therapeutic purposes. Nonequilibrium are weakly ionized gases which contain charged and neutral species electric fields, emit radiation, particularly in visible ultraviolet range. Medically-relevant cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) sources devices usually dielectric barrier ...
