Adrenosympathetic overactivity under conditions of work stress.

چکیده
Serial measurements of urinary adrenaline, noradrenaline, and 11-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion were performed on 32 healthy men under two conditions of work stress; piecework and work on assembly line. A statistically significant increase in adrenaline, noradrenaline, and 11-hydroxycorticosteroids was observed for piecework and assembly line workers compared with salaried and 'ordinary' workers. The results support the assumption that psychosocial factors of an everyday type have significant effects on the sympathoadrenomedullary and adrenocortical function.

Free adrenaline and noradrenaline excretion related to occupational stress.
Urinary levels of free adrenaline and noradrenaline were measured in two groups of healthy male industrial workers exposed to alternate four-day periods of working conditions with and without time stress, to test the hypothesis that the sympathetic nervous system is overactivated by occupational stress. Thirty confectionary workers alternated piece-work (payment by results) and work with a fixe...
متن کاملEvaluation of Thermo-mechanical stress in work rolls of ring rolling mill under thermal and mechanical loading
The defect in work rolls directly influence the forming cost and the final shape of the product. The researchers tend to investigate the thermo-mechanical stress in work roll of rolling machines. These stresses may reduce the roll life. Since the investigation of the thermo-mechanical stress in work roll with real-conditions is complex, comprehensive studies by means of numerical methods are av...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress is the most prevalent and limiting factor in the growth and productivity of crop plants. According to the challenge of deficiency in precipitation or consecutive droughts in recent years in Iran and as a result of a shortage of irrigation water in wheat production, knowledge of the relationship between grain quality and grain yield ...
متن کاملSilicon alleviates salt stress in pistachio plants
In this work, the effects of silicon (Si) supplementation were studied in pistachio (Pistacia veraL. cv Ahmadaghaii) plants exposed to high salinity stress. Plants were grown in pots undercontrol and salt (EC=15 dS m-1) conditions without or with Si treatment (0.35 g Na2SiO3 Kg-1soil) under field conditions. Salt stress reduced the plants’ growth significantly in both –Si and+Si plants; however...
متن کاملReinforced Soil Wall Analysis under Working Stress Conditions Using a Two Phase Model with the Introduction of a New Design Parameter
A previously introduced two phase model was used to assess its capability in predicting the behavior of reinforced soil walls under working stress conditions. The two phase model is a homogenization method based on the virtual work theorem. The reinforced soil medium is considered as the superposition of two continuous phases, the reinforcement and matrix phases that interact within the medium....
