3rd Cell Stress Society International Congress on Stress Responses in Biology and Medicine and 2nd World Conference of Stress HANS SELYE (1907-1982) Hans Selye was born in Komarno, Slovakia in 1907 (at that time Komárom, Hungary). 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. As early as his second year of medical school (1926), he began developing his now-famous theory of the influence of stress on people's ability to cope with and adapt to the pressures of injury and disease. He discovered that patients with a variety of ailments manifested many similar symptoms, which he ultimately attributed to their bodies' ef<strong>for</strong>ts to respond to the stresses of being ill. He called this collection of symptoms – this separate stress disease – stress syndrome, or the general adaptation syndrome (GAS). The Syndrome details how stress induces hormonal autonomic responses and, over time, these hormonal changes can lead to ulcers, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, kidney disease, and allergic reactions. His seminal work "A Syndrome Produced by Diverse Nocuous Agents" was published in 1936 in Nature. Selye's multi-faceted work and concepts have been utilized in medicine and in almost all biological disciplines from endocrinology to animal breeding and social-psychology. A physician and endocrinologist with many honorary degrees <strong>for</strong> his pioneering contributions to science (including 43 honorary doctorates), Selye also served as a professor and director of the Institute of Experimental Medicine and Surgery at the University of Montreal. He was an elected member of several dozen of the world's most recognized medical and scientific associations. More than anyone else, Selye has demonstrated the role of emotional responses in causing or combating much of the wear and tear experienced by human beings throughout their lives. Selye probably received more awards than any other physician (including the highest order of Canada), but not the Nobel Prize, although he was nominated <strong>for</strong> it several times. Many of his 40 books and over 1700 publications, including Stress without Distress (1974) and The Stress of Life (1956), became bestsellers all over the world. At the time of his death in 1982, his work had been cited in several hundred thousand scientific papers, and in countless popular magazine stories, in most major languages and in all countries worldwide. He is still by far the world's most frequently cited author on stress topics. So impressive have his findings and theories been that some authorities refer to him as "the Einstein of medicine." Selye spent a significant time of his life in Hungary, in Czechoslovakia, in the USA and in Canada. He 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. HANS SELYE STAMP AND POST OFFICE The Hungarian Postal Service will issue an official stamp to commemorate the Congress and the 100th birth anniversary of Hans Selye. We will have a special post office on 23rd and 24th of August in Building A next to In<strong>for</strong>mation Desk A with special envelopes and stamps <strong>for</strong> the first day issue of the stamp. 7
