Protection of the brain against heat damage

open access: yesJournal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014
In homeothermic animals, metabolic heat production in the brain is higher than in other tissues. However, cerebral tissue is susceptible to heat. Several animals have mechanisms that selectively cool the brain during hyperthermia (i.e., selective brain ...

Studying the Accuracy and Function of Different Thermometry Techniques for Measuring Body Temperature

open access: yesBiology, 2021
The purpose of this study was to determine which thermometry technique is the most accurate for regular measurement of body temperature. We compared seven different commercially available thermometers with a gold standard medical-grade thermometer (Welch-

Assessment of brain mechanisms involved in the processes of thermal sensation, pleasantness/unpleasantness, and evaluation

open access: yesIBRO Reports, 2019
The conscious perception of thermal stimuli is divided into two categories: thermal sensation (i.e., discriminative component) and pleasantness/unpleasantness (i.e., hedonic component).

How do ectotherms perform in cold environments? Physiological and life-history traits in an Andean viviparous lizard

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Both the mean and the variation in environmental temperature are increasing globally. Indeed, the predicted increases in temperature range from 2 to 4°C in the next 50 years.

Estrogenic modulation of female thermoregulatory behavior in a cold environment

open access: yesJournal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2016
Thermoregulation is categorized as either autonomic (i.e., sweating, shivering) or behavioral (i.e., wearing clothes, usage of air conditioner) thermoregulation. Compared to autonomic thermoregulation, the neural pathway of behavioral thermoregulation in

Research and Development of a COVID-19 Tracking System in Order to Implement Analytical Tools to Reduce the Infection Risk

open access: yesSensors, 2022
The whole world is currently focused on COVID-19, which causes considerable economic and social damage. The disease is spreading rapidly through the population, and the effort to stop the spread is entirely still failing.

Changes in body temperature [PDF]

open access: yesNursing Older People, 2010
People over the age of 60 have, on average, a lower temperature than the accepted 'normal' value of 37°C. There is also less variability in temperature, which means that older people may have little fever response to severe infection. People with cognitive impairment may have either higher or lower temperature; this may be due to loss of appropriate ...

Cold-Blooded Attention: Finger Temperature Predicts Attentional Performance

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Thermal stress has been shown to increase the chances of unsafe behavior during industrial and driving performances due to reductions in mental and attentional resources.

Meta-Analysis: Effect of Transport Distance on Physiological Conditions, Pre-Slaughter, and Broiler Meat Quality

open access: yesJurnal Sain Peternakan Indonesia, 2022
Meta-analysis study of the effect of transportation distance on physiological conditions, pre-slaughter and broiler meat quality was carried out to examine the magnitude of the effect and calculate the publication bias of the effect of transportation ...
