Summer Thermal Comfort in Urban Squares: The Case of Human Tower Exhibitions in Catalonia

Atmosphere
Global warming and the increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves are resulting in more frequent unfavourable weather conditions for outdoor activities, especially during the summer.

50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Rescheduling Summer Human Tower Exhibitions? Thermal Comfort Increases in the Evening

Geographies
Outdoor activities are significantly influenced by meteorological conditions. Human tower exhibitions are performed in urban squares. Human towers were recognised as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2010.

Blood flow restriction: The acute effects of body tilting and reduced gravity analogues on limb occlusion pressure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.

Interaction of SecB with soluble SecA.

FEBS letters, 1997
The preprotein binding molecular chaperone SecB functions by preventing the premature folding of the preprotein in the cytosol, and targeting it to the peripheral subunit SecA of the translocase at the cytoplasmic membrane. The nature of the interaction of SecB with soluble SecA was studied by fluorescence anisotropy spectroscopy of Ru(bpy)2(dcbpy ...

Influence of menstrual cycle phase on inflammatory and vascular responses to acute passive heating in healthy young women

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory and vascular responses to passive heating differ between the early follicular phase (EFP) and the mid‐luteal phase (MLP) of the menstrual cycle. Ten healthy, naturally menstruating females (26 ± 3 years of age; body mass index 21.4 ± 1.9 kg/m2) were assessed during EFP and MLP ...

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
