    Discussed in this review are endogenous mechanisms of formation of reactive halogen-containing compounds (AH) in human body. Primary AH (HOCl and HOBr) are produced through oxidation of Cl- and Br- respectively by hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by myeloperoxidase or oesinophilic peroxidase. Interaction of HOCl and HOBr with functional groups of biologically important molecules give rise to secondary AH. A non-specific reaction of the organism to AH when their synthesis exceeds neutralization or elimination is referred to as halogenizing stress. Reactions of primary and secondary AH with biologically significant molecules (amino acids, proteins, lipids, nucleotides, carbohydrates, vitamins, etc.) are considered and relation of halogenizing stress to oxidative, carbonyl and nitrifying stresses is discussed. Special attention is given to methods for regulation and alleviation of halogenizing stress, detection of its biomarkers, role of AH in the development of certain socially significant diseases (cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, oncological, respiratory, etc.).

    Physiological Foundation of Stress

    Stress triggers a coordinated physiological response involving the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This dual activation ensures that the body is prepared for both immediate and prolonged stress management. The process begins with the perception of a stressor. This initial phase activates the SNS, leading to the rapid release of adrenaline (epinephrine) from the adrenal glands.

    Stress Concentrations

    Stress concentration is when stress intensifies near discontinuities such as holes or abrupt cross-sectional changes in a structural member. This localized stress can often surpass the average stress within the member. The stress distribution in flat bars, either with a circular hole or varying widths connected by fillets, can be determined experimentally using a photoelastic method. The results are based on ratios of geometric parameters like the ratio of the hole's radius to the smaller width...

    Stress Concentrations

    The concept of stress concentration is crucial for understanding how materials respond under bending stresses, particularly when there are irregularities or discontinuities in the material's geometry. Normally, stress in a symmetric member subjected to pure bending is assumed to be uniformly distributed across the entire cross-section. However, this assumption does not hold when there are variations in the cross-sectional geometry or the presence of notches and holes.

    Introduction to Stress and Lifestyle

    Stress is a multifaceted response to events perceived as challenging or threatening, highlighting physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions. Physically, stress can lead to fatigue, sleep disruptions, and various health issues such as frequent colds, chest pains, and nausea. Emotionally, it can manifest as anxiety, depression, irritability, and anger triggered by both minor and major life events. Cognitively, it may result in difficulty in concentration, memory, and...

    Components of Stress

    Stress analysis under multiple loading conditions is intricate, necessitating a comprehensive grasp of normal and shearing stresses. Consider a small cube at point O, subjected to stress on all six faces, visible or not. Normal stress components σx, σy, σz act perpendicularly to the x, y, and z axes. Shearing stress components τxy and τxz are exerted on faces perpendicular to these axes.
    Interestingly, the hidden cube faces also experience these stresses, equal and opposite to those on the...

    Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System II: CRP, Hcy, and Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers

    Cardiac biomarkers are critical in diagnosing, prognosing, and managing cardiovascular diseases. Routine measurement of specific biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) is common practice in clinical settings to evaluate heart function and predict cardiovascular events.
    These markers indicate stress or strain on the heart muscle:
