	Hans Selye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hans Hugo Bruno Selye, CC (Selye János, 1907 - 1982), was a Canadian endocrinologist of Austrian-Hungarian origin.
		While he did not recognize all of the many aspects of glucocorticoids, Selye was aware of their role in this response.
		To grossly oversimplify to the point of circular argument, Selye discovered and documented that stress differs from other physical responses in that stress is stressful whether the one receives good or bad news, whether the impulse is positive or negative.

		Selye's genius, then, was in suspecting and, through research, identifying this complicated internal stress-processing mechanism, which came to be known as the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system.
		Selye served as professor and director at the Institute of Experimental Medicine and Surgery at the University of Montreal from 1945 until retiring in the mid-1970s.
		Selye moved easily into the role of well-being representative, and was just as likely to be asked to speak to a religious group as to a medical group.

	Hans Selye's Contributions to Neuroimmune Biology
		At some point it occurred to Selye that this, in fact, could be a nonspecific response to nocuous agents, and, indeed, when he performed the control experiments, that was the case.
		Selye faced many criticisms and by the time I came to his laboratory he had been highly regarded only by psychologists, whereas most scientists in other disciplines had ignored his ideas.

	The Father of Stress: Dr
		Hans Selye was born in Vienna, Austria in 1907, and received his education in Prague, Paris, and Rome.
		An example to illustrate Selye’s concept of stress is the business man who is under pressure to please his clients and employees, and the athlete who desperately wants to win a race.
		The military was interested because of their problem with battle stress, the psychosomatic physicians were interested in the relations of mind and body, industry looked at their capitalist and social relations, and the general public was looking for an explanation for the troubles of life.

		In 1936, Dr. Hans Selye while doing research at the McGill University in Canada, made extracts of the ovaries of the female rats in order to study the effect of its hormones.
		Hans Selye thought that tampering with the pituitary might provide a clue to the action of the ovarian extract and thus explain the mode of action of stress upon the body.
		Selye's researches showed that stress or tension, particularly if it is prolonged, is very harmful to the body.

		Selye would have been astounded by the diversity and quality of the presentations, and deeply appreciative of the accolades he received, and the reverential awe that was evident in every reference to him.
		Selye attended school at a Benedictine monastery, and since his family had produced four generations of physicians, entered the German Medical School in Prague at the age of 17, where he graduated first in his class, and later earned a doctorate in organic chemistry.
		Selye died in 1982 in Montreal, Canada; his influence on the scientific community is unabating and his work contributed to a better scientific and popular understanding of disease and its causes.

	BrainConnection.com - Hans Selye and the Discovery of Stress - Part 1
		As with so many wondrous discoveries of science and medicine, it was by chance that Hungarian-born Hans Selye (1907-1982) stumbled upon the idea of the General Adaptation Syndrome (G.A.S.), which he first wrote about in the British journal Nature in the summer of 1936.
		The rats developed a triad of symptoms from the extract injections, including enlargement of the adrenal cortex, atrophy of the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes, and deep bleeding ulcers in the lining of the stomach and duodenum -- all of which could be increased or decreased in severity by adjusting the amount of extract.
		It seemed obvious to the young Selye that he was on the verge of pinpointing a new hormone, as none then known produced these sort of symptoms.

	highlights of The Stress Myth
		Selye seemed to have developed the concept of ‘stressor’ as a means to eradicate the confusion that had existed with the various understandings of what constituted ‘stress’.
		Selye was partly to blame for the confusion by settling on the term ‘stress’ for his theory in the first place.
		Selye, despite his admission that we knew “very little about the possible relationship between stress and cancer”, speculated that stress and cancer were related essentially in three ways.

	Stress, dis‑stress, and vertebral subluxation by Dr. Christopher Kent
		Hans Selye pioneered investigations of the biological effects of stress in 1936 with the publication of his paper, "A syndrome produced by diverse noxious agents." Since then, more than 100,000 articles and books have been written on the subject.
		Selye wrote, "...the endocrine glands and the nervous system ‑‑ help us both to adjust to the constant changes which occur in and around us, and to navigate a steady course toward whatever we consider a worthwhile goal."
		Although it is unlikely that Selye was familiar with the writings of Palmer and Craven, the similarities are striking: Stress and concussion of forces; eu‑stress and ease; dis‑stress and disease.

		Endocrinologist Dr. Hans Selye became internationally known for conceptualizing and proving through research that stress, for better or for worse, is a constant influence in our day-to-day existence.
		As he developed his theories and ideas on stress, Selye came to the conclusion that what he originally had described as “theGeneral Adaptation Syndrome” (G.A.S.) should have been called the “strain syndrome.” He recognized that strain, or stress,plays a very significant role in the development of all types of disease.

	NIH CFS Workshop Report: David S. Goldstein, M.D., Ph.D., on Autonomic Nervous System & Orthostatic Intolerance
		In regard to stress, Hans Selye developed the concept of stress as a nonspecific response of the body to any demand placed upon it, of whatever sort.
		In rats exposed to several types of stressors, Selye observed the same response: adrenal enlargement, gastrointestinal bleeding, and shrinkage of organs associated with the immune system.
		In attempting to test Selye's concept, Dr. Goldstein and his coworkers found that if no assumptions are made about threshold behavior of stressors, the concept can be shown mathematically to be untestable experimentally, and hence would not qualify as a scientific hypothesis.
