Effect of various stressor agents on the adrenergic system in brain had been studied extensively. However, reports on the effect of stress on various parameters of central cholinergic system are scanty. And very little is known about the effect of noise stress on the cholinergic system in brain. Hence, it was decided to elucidate the effect of acute noise stress on the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in discrete areas of brain in albino rats. Male albino rats of Wistar strain were subjected to acute noise stress for 30 minutes. The noise of pure sine wave tone was produced by using a function generator and was amplified. The frequency of noise generated was 1 kHz and the intensity was set at 100 dB. The total acetylcholinesterase activity was determined in the tissues of cerebral cortex, corpus striatum, hypothalamus and hippocampus of brain in these rats. The enzyme activity was estimated by colorimetric method using acetylthiocholine iodide as the substrate. The values were compared with the enzyme activity in the control rats. The activity of the enzyme increased significantly in all the four regions of the brain in rats after exposure to noise stress for 30 minutes. The results of the study indicate that the exposure to acute noise stress could modulate the cholinergic system in these areas of brain in rat.

Background: Despite syntheses of evidence showing efficacy of music intervention for improving psychological and physiological outcomes in critically ill patients, interventions that include nonmusic sounds have not been addressed in reviews of evidence. It is unclear if nonmusic sounds in the intensive care unit (ICU) can confer benefits similar to those of music.
Objective: The aim of this study was to summarise and contrast available evidence on the effect of music and nonmusic sound interventions for the physiological and psychological outcomes of ICU patients based on the results of randomised controlled trials.

: This study examines the potential associations between salivary cortisol concentrations and subjective stress test scores in healthy individuals subjected to sound-related, psychological, and physical stressors. : This study employed a single-center observational cross-sectional design, with a sample size of 36 subjects recruited from a tertiary referral audiology center. Between 2023 and 2024, the study recruited subjects with normal hearing, baseline salivary cortisol levels, and subjective stress levels.

Objective: Aim: To investigate the periodontal protective properties of the developed therapeutic and prophylactic complex in terms of pro- and antiradical protection system on an experimental toxic calcium-deficiency model of periodontitis under noise and cold stress.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Calcium-deficiency toxicity was modelled in animals with the addition of noise and cold stress. The effect of the developed therapeutic and prophylactic complex consisting of the oral gel and the food supplement on the indicators of pro- and antioxidant protection in the blood and periodontal tissues of rats was studied.

Noise pollution is defined as any disturbing or unwanted sound that disrupts or harms human health or wildlife. Noise pollution can have profound effects on both human health and the environment. For humans, exposure to excessive noise levels has been linked to a range of health issues, including hearing damage, stress, and sleep disturbances.

Article Synopsis
- Lightweight polyester shelters are commonly used in mountain rescue, but little is known about the stress experienced by rescuers while using them.
- A study with 48 seasoned rescuers assessed both objective (temperature, humidity, gas concentrations) and subjective stress factors (comfort, noise, air quality) during CPR training in these shelters.
- The findings indicate that the shelters significantly improved physical comfort and most rescuers reported positive working conditions despite rising temperatures and carbon dioxide levels during the process.
