Current studies of ukrainian researchers of stress impact on chest organs: literature review

Abstract

Introduction: Stress reactions allow the body to adapt to the various environmental factors using the universal complex of neurohumoral reactions. Excessive stress reduces adaptability of the body and can initiate the onset and development of various pathologies. In recent years, Ukrainian scientists have completed a series of studies on the analysis of various aspects of the stress effect on the body. Aim: The paper was aimed at the analysis of the national medical publications, devoted to the study of the impact of stress on the chest organs. Material and Methods: The bibliosemantic method has been used during the study. Findings of the contemporary scientific studies devoted to the effect of stress on the chest organs have been analyzed. Results: The analysis shows that despite a long history of stress-related investigations, the study of the problem of stress remains relevant to date. Scientific researches elicit the new aspects of the impact of stress on the body, particularly on the chest organs. Conclusion: Recent investigations of Ukrainian scientists assist In better understanding of the essence of the stress-related morphofunctional changes that occur in the lungs, heart and esophagus. The findings will be helpful in the search for ways to prevent and treat stress-induced pathological processes, since the problem of stress remains to be solved to date.
