cardiovascular adverse effects are interesting aspects of occupational noise exposure. one possible mechanism of these effects is an alternation in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. our aim was to measure salivary cortisol response to relatively high-intensity noise exposure in a controlled randomized trial study. we exposed 50 male volunteers to 90 dba noise for 20 minutes and compared thei...

Stress physiology is shaped by early experience, with enduring effects on health. The relation of chronic maternal physiological stress, as indexed by hair cortisol, to infants' stress systems and to mother-infant interaction quality has not been established. We examined maternal hair and salivary cortisol, six-month-old infants' salivary cortisol, and mother-infant interaction in 121 mother-in...

Background: Stress in preterm neonates is associated with morbidity and mortality. Preterm newborns who are in need of special care are at risk of experiencing stress because of separation from the mother, ambient noises, lighting intensity, and medical procedures.
