Chronic mild social stress increases neurogenesis in adolescent male rats
… into adulthood. It is wellestablished that stress during adulthood decreases the rate of neurogenesis, but during adolescence, the effects of stress are much less understood. I investigated the effect of short-term or chronic stress during adolescence (daily lhr isolation and change of cage …

Congruence of Parent-Report, Self-Report, and Performance-Based Neuropsychological Functioning in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survivors
… and susceptibility to parental factors such as stress. This study was the first to investigate the moderating effect of parental stress on the congruence between reported child functioning and neuropsychological performance in pediatric ALL. Based on prior literature, performance-based, …

Yield and water-relation responses of soybeans to single and multiple periods of soil-moisture stress
… physiological and yield responses to water stress were studied in a movable weather (rainout) shelter facility at Ames, Iowa, during the summer of 1978. Soil-moisture deficits were induced in six combinations of three stress periods during reproductive growth to investigate the possibility …

The role of surgery in inflammatory bowel disease: six case histories
… at the age of 41 superimposed on a history of mild stress related colitis confirms this general lack of understanding of these diseases. The many cases of unexplained hepatobiliary disease, arthritis and perianal problems, along with the chronic misery of uncomplicated forms should fuel an …

The Relationship Between Caring For Individuals Diagnosed With Prader-Willi Syndrome And Caregiver Stress
<p>Background/Purpose: Chronic stress is related to numerous health risks such as causing an individual to age more rapidly than an individual with less stress (Oliveira, et al., 2010; Bauer, 2009; McEwen, 2002). Other aging problems related to chronic stress are Alzheimer’s disease (Peterson et …

THE SHORT- AND LONG- TERM EFFECT OF ZINC AND COPPER CONTAMINATION ON SOIL MICROBIAL FUNCTIONS
… This study tested whether adaptation to a severe stress (trace metals) affects resistance or resilience to a subsequent mild stress. The resistance, resilience, and relative soil stability index (RSSI) of soils were determined for heat (60°C for 24h) and moisture stress, applied as short- term …
