  • Negative Affect and Chemical Intolerance as Risk Factors for Building-Related Symptoms

    Nancy Fiedler, Kathie Kelly-McNeil et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2008

    Objective: To assess whether differences in negative affect (NA) and chemical intolerance (CI) affect responses to chemical mixtures and stress in a controlled experimental model. Methods: Participants were 130 nonsmoking, healthy women, recruited from a university community. Participants completed the Positive and Negative Affect Scale and the Chemical Odor Intolerance Index. In separate sessions 1 week apart, they were exposed to volatile organ…

  • Responses to Controlled Diesel Vapor Exposure Among Chemically Sensitive Gulf War Veterans

    Nancy Fiedler, Nicholas D Giardino et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2004

    OBJECTIVE: A significant proportion of Gulf War veterans (GWVs) report chemical sensitivity, fatigue, and unexplained symptoms resulting in ongoing disability. GWVs frequently recall an association between diesel and petrochemical fume exposure and symptoms during service. The purpose of the present study among GWVs was to evaluate the immediate health effects of acute exposure to chemicals (diesel vapors with acetaldehyde) with and without stres…

  • Cardiovascular Stress Responses and Their Relation to Symptoms in Gulf War Veterans With Fatiguing Illness

    Arnold Peckerman, John J LaManca et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2000

    OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine whether inappropriate cardiovascular responses to stressors may underlie symptoms in Gulf War veterans with chronic fatigue. METHODS: Psychophysiological stress testing was performed on 51 Gulf War veterans with chronic fatigue (using the 1994 case definition of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and 42 healthy veterans. Hemodynamic responses to cold pressor, speech, and arithmeti…

  • The Role of Stressor Intensity and Underlying Vasculopathy in Altering Coronary Reactivity in Cardiomyopathic Hamsters

    Qiang Chang, Benjamin H Natelson et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1997

    OBJECTIVE: Our previous work showed that stress sensitized the vessels of cardiomyopathic hamsters (CMHs), but only hamsters in the lesion-forming period of their life. We hypothesized that we would find an interaction between stressor intensity and microvascular vulnerability. METHOD: Male CMHs at ages of 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 months were stressed with supine immobilization for five consecutive days. Stressor intensity was manipulated by immobilizin…

  • Hamsters with coronary vasospasm are at increased risk from stress

    Benjamin H Natelson, Walter N Tapp et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1991

    Results of earlier experiments suggested that hamsters with inherited heart disease were at a higher risk of succumbing to stress during the vasospastic, lesion-forming period of their lives rather than later when the process of congestive heart failure had begun. To test this hypothesis, we stressed cardiomyopathic hamsters (CMH) whose ages differed by about 3 months; the younger of the two groups of stressed hamsters was in the vasospastic phas…
