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...

NF-kappaB independent activation of a series of proinflammatory genes by hydrogen sulfide.

30 Oct 2009 A stress response has the potential to induce greater resistance to subsequent stress damage. We tested whether hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), an important signaling molecule, also used therapeutically, and known for detrimental effects, might induce a ... 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...
