The variation in climatic variables like temperature, humidity and radiations were recognized as the potential hazards in the growth and production of all domestic livestock species. Thermal environment is a major factor that can negatively affect both production and reproduction in dairy animals, especially in animals of high genetic merit. Among the stressors, heat stress has been of major co...

objective: stress and other emotional distress are prevalent among cardiovascular patients. this study is performed to investigate the effect of medical counseling on stress and physiological factors of patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (cabg) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (ptca).   methods: this study is of experimental type with pre-test, post-test and c...

heat stress effects on physical and mental health of workers and decreases human function. asphalt workers are both exposed to the heat of their working process and to the sun heat. this study aimed at evaluating thermal stress and its following function fall and the effect of asphalt work on the degree of heat stress and asphalt workers’ physiological parameters. the present study was done at ...

AIMS Abnormal physiological stress reactivity is increasingly investigated as a vulnerability marker for various physical and psychological health problems. However, studies are inconsistent in taking into account potential covariates that may influence the developing stress system. We systematically tested determinants (individual, developmental, environmental and substance use-related) of phy...

Physiological stress can be defined as any external or internal condition that challenges the homeostasis of a cell or an organism. It can be divided into three different aspects: environmental stress, intrinsic developmental stress, and aging. Throughout life all living organisms are challenged by changes in the environment. Fluctuations in oxygen levels, temperature, and redox state for examp...

objective(s): exposing to stress may be associated with increased production of reactive oxygen species (ros). therefore, high level of oxidative stress may eventually give rise to accumulation of oxidative damage and development of numerous neurodegenerative diseases. it has been presented that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) supports neurons against various neurodegenerative conditio...
