Stress managementStress management consists of a wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies aimed at controlling a person's level of stress, especially chronic stress, usually for the purpose of improving everyday functioning. Stress produces numerous physical and mental symptoms which vary according to each individual's situational factors. These can include a decline in physical health, such as headaches, chest pain, fatigue, and sleep problems, as well as depression.
Regeneration in humansRegeneration in humans is the regrowth of lost tissues or organs in response to injury. This is in contrast to wound healing, or partial regeneration, which involves closing up the injury site with some gradation of scar tissue. Some tissues such as skin, the vas deferens, and large organs including the liver can regrow quite readily, while others have been thought to have little or no capacity for regeneration following an injury. Numerous tissues and organs have been induced to regenerate.
CardiomyopathieUne cardiomyopathie ou myocardiopathie (littéralement, maladie du muscle cardiaque) correspond à un groupe hétérogène de maladies touchant le myocarde, responsable d'un dysfonctionnement de ce muscle. Les cardiomyopathies peuvent avoir une origine extrinsèque (secondaire à une pathologie extérieure au muscle cardiaque) ou intrinsèque (par atteinte primitive du muscle cardiaque). À terme, les sujets atteints risquent une insuffisance cardiaque, des troubles du rythme ou une « mort subite ».
