An investigation was carried out to study the effect of mechanized agricultural work on the excretion of some corticosteroids and catecholamines in tractor-drivers during a seasonal field work. Group 1 (15 subjects) was examined three times: in the morning hours before starting work and at two intervals during the first and second half of the working day. In group two (11 subjects) the characteristics of the circadian rhythm for 24h were investigated in urine collected at six intervals. The results from both studies disclose a considerable increase of the total 17-ketosteroids, total 17-oxycorticosteroids, free 11-oxycorticosteroids, nor-adrenaline and adrenaline excretion levels which indicates overactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal and sympathetic nervous systems. The circadian rhythms of the examined parameters are characterized by an increasing of the mesors and a lowering of the amplitudes of the rhythmic variations. No significant changes of corticosteroids and catecholamines are established. Considerable interindividual differences in the course of excretion of the studies indices as well as the lack of marked circadian rhythm in about 50% of the subjects are found.

Concomitant pheochromocytoma and hyperaldosteronism in a 47-year-old man: a case report.

Background: The coexistence of pheochromocytoma and hyperaldosteronism is a rare and clinically significant finding with diagnostic challenges that need to be considered in the workup of patients with hypertension.
Case Presentation: This case report describes a 47-year-old Iranian man who initially presented with cold symptoms, chills, and headaches. Despite being diagnosed with panic disorder, his symptoms worsened, leading to a systolic blood pressure crisis.
Effects of time-of-day on the noradrenaline, adrenaline, cortisol and blood lipidome response to an ice bath.

While the effect of time-of-day (morning versus evening) on hormones, lipids and lipolysis has been studied in relation to meals and exercise, there are no studies that have investigated the effects of time-of-day on ice bath induced hormone and lipidome responses. In this crossover-designed study, a group of six women and six men, 26 ± 5 years old, 176 ± 7 cm tall, weighing 75 ± 10 kg, and a BMI of 23 ± 2 kg/mhad an ice bath (8-12 °C for 5 min) both in the morning and evening on separate days. Absence from intense physical exercise, nutrient intake and meal order was standardized in the 24 h prior the ice baths to account for confounders such as diet or exercise.

Background: Subclinical depressive symptoms increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). The neurobiological mechanisms underlying this link may involve stress system dysfunction, notably related to the hippocampus which is particularly sensitive to AD. We aimed to investigate the links between blood stress markers and changes in brain regions involved in the stress response in older adults with or without subclinical depressive symptoms.

Across all animal species, exposure to stressful conditions induces stress responses. One method to study the effects of stress using rodent models is the restraint stress procedure. Restraint stress has been used for decades to investigate changes in physiology, genetics, neurobiology, immunology, and other systems impacted by stress.

Background: Neuraxial anesthesia is the gold standard for cesarean sections, but general anesthesia is sometimes necessary, especially in emergency cases. Anaphylactic shock due to succinylcholine, a commonly used neuromuscular blocking agent, is rare but life-threatening.
Case Presentation: A 42-year-old woman with severe preeclampsia and a history of intracranial vascular malformations underwent an emergency cesarean section.
