“…That coping strategies have differing effects in medical populations depending on their timing has been supported by previous research (Aldwin, 1994). Results of the present study support the importance of including both preoperative and postoperative functional status in examining the association of active coping with knee function outcomes.…”

“…In contrast, active coping behaviors typically attempt to directly change the nature of the stressor or how one responds to it. People who use active coping behaviors acknowledge the stressful situation and may use physical activity and problem solving to relieve their stress (Aldwin, 1994;Taylor, 1998). This may include engaging in activities that can be characterized as promoting positive health outcomes.…”

Few studies have examined whether certain coping behaviors are associated with physical outcomes following surgery. This prospective, longitudinal study investigated the effect of active and avoidant coping behaviors on two physical outcomes over time, pain and knee function, in a group of patients experiencing knee arthroscopic surgery (n ¼ 81). Structured interviews and physician clinical assessments were conducted preoperatively and at 3 and 24 weeks postoperatively. Coping behavior was assessed during the preoperative interview, and patients were divided into high and low avoidant and active coping groups. Using repeated measures MANCOVA/ANCOVA, avoidant coping was significantly associated with knee pain and active coping was associated with knee function. Serum cortisol levels were available for a patient subset (n ¼ 16); higher cortisol was related to both avoidant coping and poorer functioning during early recovery. Results suggest that these divergent coping behaviors are differentially associated with stress reactivity and physical outcomes in healthy patients undergoing minor knee surgery.

“…In reference to that research it should be noted that, as it is pointed out, stress can directly or indirectly cause various diseases (Aldwin, 1994;Dixson and Reid, 2000;Taylor, 1999). Consequently, attempts at reducing the degree of stress have become an important task nowadays.…”

“…Stress is psycho physiological response and adaptation by our bodies to the real or perceived changes and challenges in our lives [1] . Stress is also defined as a state of threatened homeostasis or disharmony and is counteracted by a complex repertoire of physiologic and behavioral response that re-establishes homeostasis [2] .…”

Sexual deprivation stress leads to mental or sexual disorder that can occur after exposure to relative long period of not having sexual relation. Objective: The present work was undertaken to evaluate the possible effects of sexual deprivation on bone remodeling. Materials and Methods: Forty mature adult rats (twenty males and twenty females), of local strains were chosen to be the model of this work , 120-140 gm and aged two months old . They were kept on special formulated diet and tap water was freely allowed. The rats were housed in a wire mesh cage with plastic floor. Each cage was 25 Χ 25 Χ 30 cm . All rats were housed in a laboratory room subjected to normal light dark cycle, All rats were kept for 21 days in the laboratory room at comfortable room temperature for adaption before any experimental interference and to allow a copulation between male and female before deprivation. The whole length of experiment was two months i.e. twelve estrous cycle. The rats were randomly divided into two equal groups, control group, experimental group. Experimental group were exposed to sexual deprivation for 40 days. Vaginal smear examination, was performed approximately at the same time each day over the course of study for detection of acopulatory plug or by observation of spermatozoa in the vaginal smear .Also determination of serum estrogen, progesterone, calcium, phosphorus, parathormone and alkaline phosphatase enzyme in all female rats was done at the end of experiment. Also, morphology of bone and ovary in all female rats were evaluated at the end of experiment. Results: Experimental group showed significant decreased in serum calcium, estrogen and progesterone hormones compared to control group and significant increased in serum parathormone hormone, blood phosphorous level and alkaline phosphatase enzyme compared to control group. As regard histological picture of bone, our results showed that abnormal structure of bone that consisted of discrete cortex and epiphyseal plate (cartilage). Conclusion: The female rats alleged to sexual deprivation may suffer from alteration in the metabolism of bones which may lead to pathological disease called osteoporosis.
