Reminiscences of Hans Selye, and the birth of "stress".

The stress concept is one of the most commonly applied constructs in all of mental health. While the nature of stress is relatively well known, little is known of the man who pioneered the field. This paper provides the reader with a rare glimpse at the birth of the concept of stress and the man who was its father: Hans Selye.

James Paget Henry: a man for all seasons.

Jim Henry is best known for his seminal research on psychosocial stress and cardiovascular disease, and studies of the neuroendocrine correlates of animal behaviors during stress. However, he had a wide range of interests, made important contributions in many other areas, and served as a remarkable catalyst in advancing the work of other scientists. These numerous and less appreciated accomplishments could not possibly be covered in an article of this length. Hopefully, some personal observations, and a brief sketch of his extension of Carl Jung's research and his involvement in the U.S. space program, may help to illustrate the superb character and qualities of this modest and multifaceted individual, as well as a few of his lesser known, but equally meaningful achievements.

Cardiovascular responses of patients with cardiac disease to talking and exercise stress testing.

The blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and premature ventricular contraction responses of patients with cardiac disease during talking were compared with those during exercise stress testing (EST). BPs, HR, and heart rhythm were recorded in 52 patients with cardiac disease before and during talking about an intentionally neutral topic and compared with changes during EST. The systolic and diastolic BP and HR increased significantly during talking. Diastolic BP increased significantly more during talking than during EST stages 1 and 2. The increase in diastolic BP during EST stage 3 did not differ from the increase during talking. HR and systolic BP increased more during EST than during talking. Nine patients had premature ventricular contractions during both EST and talking, two during EST only, and one while talking only. The verbalization protocol provides information about changes in diastolic BP that are not seen with EST. It also may be of value for evaluating heart rhythm, HR, and systolic BP changes for patients whose disabilities preclude EST.
