Stressful life events and their relationship to psychological and medical functioning in children and adolescents with HIV infection.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: To assess the relationship between number and type of stressful life events (SLEs) and psychological and medical functioning in HIV-infected children. METHODS: For this cross-sectional study, caregivers of 55 vertically infected children ... Read more...

The stressed CNS: when glucocorticoids aggravate inflammation.

13 Oct 2009 Glucocorticoids (GCs) are hormones released during the stress response that are well known for their immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties; however, recent advances have uncovered situations wherein they have effects in the opposite ... Read more...

Cold pressor stress impairs performance on working memory tasks requiring executive functions in healthy young men.

29 Sep 2009 The current study investigated the effects of cold pressor stress (CPS) on 2 working memory (WM) tasks differing in the demand they put on maintenance and executive processing. For this purpose 72 healthy young men were exposed either to a stress ... Read more...
