Two major and mutually interconnected brain systems are recruited during stress reaction. One is the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVH) and the second is the extended amygdala. PVH governs the neuroendocrine stress response while CeA regulates most of the autonomic and behavioral stress reactions. The common neurohormonal mediator of these responses is the corticotropin-releasing hormon...

Aim We aimed to clarify how stress among psychiatric assistant nurses (PANs) differed from Registered Nurses (PRNs). Design Cross-sectional survey study was conducted with PRNs and PANs working in six psychiatric hospitals in Japan. Methods The Psychiatric Nurse Job Stressor Scale (PNJSS) and the job stressor and stress reaction subscales of the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire measured stres...

The liver constitutes the first barrier in the control of hematogenous dissemination for Candida albicans of intestinal origin. The ability of this organ to limit the growth of the yeast and to mount an efficient inflammatory reaction is crucial in determining the outcome of the fungal infection. When rats infected with C. albicans are exposed to chronic varied stress, the cell recruitment is i...

OBJECTIVE Patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia display cognitive impairments and abnormal sensitivity to stress. However, little is known about the relationship between these two endophenotypes. METHOD Neuropsychological tests were administered to 42 patients with schizophrenia or other psychosis to assess cognitive functioning, and the experience sampling method (a structured diary tec...

STUDY DESIGN Single-group repeated measures design. OBJECTIVE To quantify patellofemoral joint reaction forces and stress while squatting with and without an external load. BACKGROUND Although squatting exercises in the rehabilitation setting are often executed to a relatively shallow depth in order to avoid the higher joint forces associated with increased knee flexion, objective criteria ...

background: stress is a nonspecific reaction to everything the body needs. although occupational stress exists in every occupation, it is seen with more frequency and intensity amongst those occupations related to human health. in this study, we aimed to investigate the level of occupational stress in operating room staffs working in the hospitals affiliated to isfahan university of medical sci...

This study aims to compare the developments of mechanical properties and autogenous shrinkage related alkali-activated materials-based concrete (AC) ordinary Portland cement-based (OC) against curing age degree reaction. Temperature Stress Testing Machines are utilized monitor evolution internal tensile stress cracking occurrence in restrained concrete. It is found that AC shows lower strength-...

The sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) family members are plant unique serine/threonine kinases which play a key role in cellular signaling in response to abiotic stresses. The three SnRK2 members including SRK2D, SRK2I and SRK2E are known to phosphorylate major abscisic acid (ABA) responsive transcription factors, ABF2 and ABF4, involved in an ABA-dependent stress signal...

An curvature measurement technique was used to characterize the stress evolution during reaction of a Ni film and a silicon substrate to form nickel silicide. Stress changes were measured at each stage of the silicide growth. When the nickel films were subjected to longtime isothermal annealing, stresses that developed during silicide formation gradually relaxed. Fitting the experimental result...
