The Occurrence of Anxiety, Depression, and Distress among Professionals Working in Emergency Care.

Maintaining mental health is essential for professions with higher stress levels and challenging environments, including emergency specializations. In this study, the occurrence of distress, anxiety, and depression among a group of ambulance and hospital emergency care professionals was assessed ( = 202). A cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive online survey was conducted, including the internationally validated Beck depression inventory (BDI), the perceived stress scale (PSS-14), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).

Stress and Anxiety among High School Adolescents: Correlations between Physiological and Psychological Indicators in a Longitudinal Follow-Up Study.

Unlabelled: Mental and psychological disorders are serious health problems worldwide. Anxiety among high school students can affect school performance, relationships, and family life.

Objective: Our aim is to understand the anxiety levels and associated factors among high school students and compare the results of psychological tests measuring anxiety with the cortisol levels obtained from biological sampling.

Adrenal, Gonadal and Peripherally Steroid Changes in Response to Extreme Physical Stress for Characterizing Load Capacity in Athletes.

Athletes are often exposed to extreme physical stress during training or competitions. The consequent activation of the hypothalamus-hypophysis-adrenal (HPA) axis results in intensified steroid hormone production in the adrenal cortex. We determined the impact of an acute extreme physical stress on adrenal and gonadal steroidogenesis in healthy male professional athletes ( = 40).

Regulation of unbalanced redox homeostasis induced by the expression of wild-type HIV-1 viral protein R (NL4-3Vpr) in fission yeast.

The wild-type viral protein R (Vpr) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 exerts multiple effects on cellular activities during infection, including the induction of cell cycle G2 arrest and the death of human cells and cells of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In this study, wild-type Vpr (NL4-3Vpr) integrated as a single copy gene in S. pombe chromosome was used to investigate the molecular impact of Vpr on cellular oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress induced by HIV-1 F34IVpr in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is one of its multiple functions.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral protein R (Vpr) exerts multiple effects on viral and host cellular activities during infection, including induction of cell cycle G(2) arrest and cell death in both human and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells. In this study, a mutant derivative of Vpr (F34IVpr), which causes transient G2 arrest with little or no effect of cell killing, was used to study the molecular impact of Vpr on cellular oxidative stress responses in S. pombe.
