The impact of stress on body function: A review.
TLDR
In this study, some of the major effects of stress on the primary physiological systems of humans are reviewed.Abstract:
Any intrinsic or extrinsic stimulus that evokes a biological response is known as stress. The compensatory responses to these stresses are known as stress responses. Based on the type, timing and severity of the applied stimulus, stress can exert various actions on the body ranging from alterations in homeostasis to life-threatening effects and death. In many cases, the pathophysiological complications of disease arise from stress and the subjects exposed to stress, e.g. those that work or live in stressful environments, have a higher likelihood of many disorders. Stress can be either a triggering or aggravating factor for many diseases and pathological conditions. In this study, we have reviewed some of the major effects of stress on the primary physiological systems of humans.read more

TL;DR: While some unhealthful behaviors appeared to have been exacerbated, other more healthful behaviors also emerged since COVID-19 and research is needed to determine the longer-term impact of the pandemic on behaviors and to identify effective strategies to support families in the post-CO VID-19 context.

The Promise of Adolescence: Realizing Opportunity for All Youth
TL;DR: The authors examined the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlined how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors related to mental health of inpatients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China.
TL;DR: Female sex, disease duration, levels of inflammatory markers and self-perceived illness severity are factors that could be used to predict the severity of patients’ mental symptoms.

The social readjustment rating scale
Thomas H. Holmes,Richard H. Rahe +1 more
TL;DR: This report defines a method which achieves etiologic significance as a necessary but not sufficient cause of illness and accounts in part for the time of onset of disease and provides a quantitative basis for new epidemiological studies of diseases.

Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions.
TL;DR: The results of these studies point to the importance of the hippocampal complex for normal memory function in patients who had undergone similar, but less radical, bilateral medial temporallobe resections, and as a warning to others of the risk to memory involved in bilateral surgical lesions of the hippocampusal region.

TL;DR: In this Review a model is developed to explain why different disorders emerge in individuals exposed to stress at different times in their lives.

Impact of psychological factors on the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and implications for therapy.
TL;DR: Suggestions to improve the assessment of behavioral interventions include more complete delineation of the physiological mechanisms by which such interventions might work; increased use of new, more convenient "alternative" end points for behavioral intervention trials; development of specifically targeted behavioral interventions (based on profiling of patient factors); and evaluation of previously developed models of predicting behavioral change.
