“…The impact of the earthquake affects many patients in various ways [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], with morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases increasing following an earthquake [5-9, 12, 23]. Diabetes mellitus is affected negatively after a lengthy duration in an unfavorable environment [5].…”

Abstract. To examine the short-and long-term influences of the Marmara earthquake, which occurred on August 17, 1999 in Turkey, on glycemic control and quality of life (QOL), HbA 1c, insulin requirement and QOL of 88 people with type 1 diabetes living in the quake zone were evaluated one year before (PreE), 3 months after (PostE) and one year after (FE) the earthquake. HbA 1c levels and daily insulin requirements increased significantly at PostE (HbA 1c from 7.4 ± 1.3% to 8.5 ± 1.8%, p<0.05; insulin from 0.58 ± 0.2 IU/kg/day to 0.77 ± 0.2 IU/kg/day, p<0.05). Mean total QOL scores at PostE were significantly lower than the scores obtained at PreE (62.7 ± 17.3 vs 74.2 ± 13.4, p<0.001). There were no significant differences between HbA 1c levels and total QOL scores at PreE and FE. People with type 1 diabetes living in the same house after the earthquake and not having enough food supply were reported to have lower QOL than people moving to another house and having enough food supply after the earthquake (p = 0.014, p<0.0001, respectively). The Marmara Earthquake had a negative impact on the glycemic control and QOL of the subjects with type 1 diabetes for the short term but prequake scores might be achieved after a long period.

“…This is similar to the results of a previous study [15] and suggests that national license examinations are valid as uniform psychological stressors. There are many reports on the relationships between psychological stress and physical symptoms, including that psychological stress increases the risk of acute myocardial infarction [19] and diabetes [20], and that psychological stress is related to dysmenorrhea [21]. At the same time, psychological stress is also reported to be difficult to assess objectively.…”

Objective: Urine 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (U8-OHdG) was a marker of oxidative stress-induced DNA damage; it was increased by psychological stress. Since the menstrual cycle may confound or modify the association between psychological stress and U8-OHdG. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of psychological stress from a national license examination on levels of U8-OHdG, which is a biomarker of oxidative stress. And the effects of women's menstrual cycles, which should be considered in mental and physical assessments, on U8-OHdG, were evaluated. Methods: The subjects were 18 female university students at a medical university in whom Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores, and U8-OHdG levels were measured in 3 phases of the menstrual cycle, the follicular phase, ovulatory phase, and luteal phase. The mean values were taken for the group during a time of classroom learning. The same measurements were also made one week before and the day after a national license examination and the measurements were compared among the three periods. Results and Conclusion: State anxiety and U8-OHdG levels were significantly higher in those with a week before the national license examination than in those with classroom lecture (State anxiety: p = 0.002, U8-OHdG levels: p = 0.007).The menstrual cycle did not show a significant correlation with U8-OHdG le- vels. This study demonstrated that levels of the oxidative stress biomarker U8-OHdG are not affected by changes in the menstrual cycle. It also showed that U8-OHdG levels increased with the psychological stress of a national license examination.

“…9 In the Taiwan Chi-Chi Earthquake of 1999, the sudden increase of heart attacks were limited to mostly male patients and was attributed mainly to formerly sedentary individuals becoming suddenly and intensely active throughout the rescue period. 10 It has also been suggested that the physiological 'fight or flight' response that is initiated during times of perceived personal danger such as an earthquake or other natural disaster, is itself contributory to the increase of post catastrophe AMIs.…”
