Exploring the Association Between Complaints of Sensory Hypersensitivity and Sleep Disturbances After Acquired Brain Injury: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep disturbances are prevalent after acquired brain injury and negatively affect quality of life. Sensory hypersensitivity may cause or exacerbate sleep disturbances, yet evidence on this relationship after acquired brain injury is lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesised positive relationship between the severity ...

Heat thermotherapy to improve cardiovascular function and cardiometabolic health: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Heat thermotherapy (HT) is reported to promote cardiovascular (CV) and cardiometabolic health benefits. This systematic review and meta‐analysis (CRD42020193669) empirically investigated the efficacy of HT in improving CV and cardiometabolic parameters by assessing responses to single versus multiple HT bouts.

Projection of weather potential for winter haze episodes in Beijing by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global warming

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2020
Haze episodes become very frequent in Beijing over the past decade, and such trend is related to favorable weather conditions. Here, we project the changes of weather conditions conducive to winter haze episodes in Beijing by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global ...

Seven days of mixed‐method heat acclimation improved markers of cardiovascular and fluid‐regulatory strain during exercise‐heat stress

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A mixed‐method heat acclimation (HA) protocol may optimise performance by supporting the training taper while promoting thermal adaptation; however, the impact on cardiovascular and fluid‐regulatory adjustments to protect health is unknown. Therefore, we examined the effects of a mixed‐method heat protocol on physiological responses, including

Applying thermal therapy: Comparison of different commercially available heating devices to increase muscle temperature

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although various medical devices are available for the purpose of heat therapy, their effect on muscle temperature remains unclear. This study compared the effects of a water‐perfused suit (WPS), short‐wave diathermy (SWD) and hot‐water immersion (HWI) on muscle, core and skin temperatures, along with perceived thermal discomfort.

Whole‐body hot water immersion effect on cerebral haemodynamics and subsequent cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract To test the hypothesis that hot water immersion (HWI) improves cerebrovascular function via shear‐mediated mechanisms, this study determined cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide (CVRCO2${\mathrm{CV}}{{\mathrm{R}}_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$) before and after 60 min of 39°C HWI and a 21°C air control (CON) in 15 healthy ...

Heat treatment combined with hybrid exercises retraining mitigates cellular markers of protein turnover after hindlimb suspension in male mice: A pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent evidence suggests that heat treatment (HT) and resistance training can limit skeletal muscle mass loss during immobilization. However, the effects of repeated HT sessions combined with hybrid exercises (EX), which promote both endurance and resistance responses, on muscle protein turnover following hindlimb unloading (HU) remain ...

The effect of repeated hot water immersion on microvascular function, glycaemic control and inflammation in White European and South Asian males

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Individuals of South Asian (SA) descent display a higher risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus than their White European (WE) counterparts. Heat therapy, such as hot water immersion (HWI), can improve microvascular function and glycaemic control, although effects across racial groups are unknown.

Passive heat intervention research in women: Systematic review and audit of female representation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive heat interventions (PHIs) are non‐exercise heat‐acclimation strategies that improve physiological markers associated with heat tolerance and reduce vulnerability to heat‐related illness, when exercise is not feasible. However, representation of female participants within this literature remains unclear.

Assessing and evaluating human-wildlife interactions for coexistence in shared landscapes

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Land sharing strategies for conciliating biodiversity conservation and human development usually do not consider the need to deal with human-wildlife conflicts, a type of human-wildlife interaction (HWI).
