“…Stressful life events can induce physiological adjustment, such as an increase in blood pressure and stress hormones or a decrease in immune function. Stress might as well lead to behavioral changes, such as more use of tobacco or alcohol and less sleep or physical exercise [1, 2, 9]. Thus, stressful life events may increase the risk for many diseases.…”

Background: There is a general notion that stressful life events may cause mental and physical health problems. Objectives: We aimed to describe stressful life events reported by patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to assess their impact on health outcomes and behaviors. Methods: Two hundred and sixty-six primary care patients who participated in the ICE COLD ERIC cohort study were asked to document any stressful life events in the past 3 years. We assessed the before-after (the event) changes for symptoms of depression and anxiety, health status, dyspnea-related quality of life, exacerbations, cigarette use, and physical activity. We used linear regression analysis to estimate the crude and adjusted magnitude of the before-after changes. Results: About 41% (110/266) of patients reported the experience of any stressful life events and “death of relatives/important persons” was most common (31%). After accounting for age, sex, living status, lung function, and anxiety/depression status at baseline, experiencing any stressful life events was associated with a 0.9-point increase on the depression scale (95% CI 0.3 to 1.4), a 0.8-point increase on the anxiety scale (95% CI 0.3 to 1.3), and a 0.8-point decrease in the physical activity score (95% CI –1.6 to 0). Conclusions: Experiencing stressful life events was associated with a small to moderate increase in symptoms of depression and anxiety in COPD, but no discernable effect was found for other physical outcomes. However, confirmation of these results in other COPD cohorts and identification of patients particularly vulnerable to stressful life events are needed.

“…Language about failing continues in the postpartum: Lactation failure includes (a) failure of the breasts to produce adequate milk, (b) failure to thrive in the infant, and (c) failure of the mother to achieve her preset goal for duration of lactation (Lawrence & Lawrence, 2015; Lee & Kelleher, 2016; Osborn, 2016; Sriraman, 2017). This sense of failure can be compounded if a new mother finds that breastfeeding, which she believed would be easy, natural, and enjoyable, instead is difficult, painful, or unpleasant (Borra et al, 2015; Flaherman & Von Kohorn, 2016; Gregory, Butz, Ghazarian, Gross, & Johnson, 2015; Niela-Vilén, Axelin, Melender, & Salanterä, 2015; Porter, 2015).…”

Psychosocial stress alters several physiological parameters resulting in multiple disorders, particularly compromising the immune system thereby provoking various diseases including liver disorders. However, the plausible underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Recent literature provides mechanistic evidences of detrimental effects of psychosocial stress on physiology of different body organs including liver. The data of stress-induced pathophysiological changes in liver functions and obesity were systematically collected from PubMed, ScienceDirect and the Web of Science Databases published in English. Stress and glucocorticoids (GCs) control food intake and energy expenditure through appetite stimulators neuropeptide Y (NYP) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) in hypothalamus. Principle effectors of the activated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in response to psychosocial stress are proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and GCs. Stress-induced GCs hyper-secretion triggers glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-dependent transcriptional factor, nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB), which interferes TNFα-IL6 and keap1-Nrf2 pathways in liver regeneration and obesity through fine-tuning of TNFα, IL6 and Nrf2 signaling. In this review, it is contrived upon existing evidence to put forward a model whereby exposure to life-stress has a prominent impact over weight gain and can alter the regenerative mode of a damaged liver through Keap1-Nrf2 and TNFa-IL6 pathways.
