Physiological characteristics of women’s cold constitution and effects of exercise

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine
About half of young Japanese women have a cold constitution, which heightens susceptibility to cold syndrome. In recent years, new findings on the physiological features of a cold constitution have increased.

Investigating the probability of behavioural responses to cold thermal discomfort [PDF]

Energy and Buildings, 2016
Abstract In buildings, occupant behaviour is recognised as a major contributing factor to energy demand and in particular to heating consumption. To achieve thermal comfort within the heating season, people report to use heat in very different ways; for example behaviours include switching on the heating system, putting on warm clothes, drawing ...

Programmable Self‐Heating Microneedle Patch for on‐Demand Postprandial Glucose Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A programmable self‐heating microneedle patch enables on‐demand, timed‐sequence insulin delivery via user‐triggered quadrant activation. Each activation generates localized heat that melts a phase‐change barrier, accelerating drug release. In diabetic rats, sequential quadrant activation counteracts four meal‐mimicking glucose spikes over 24 h without ...

The health impacts of poor housing conditions and thermal discomfort

Procedia Environmental Sciences, 2011
AbstractOn summer and winter months, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rates vary throughout Europe. For example, areas with mild winters seem to be the ones with higher number of seasonal mortality. In fact, Portugal is one of the southern countries together with Ireland that have higher mortality in winter.

Developing Metal–Polyphenol Network‐Based Single‐Protein Particle Encapsulation System for Sustained Release of Whey Protein to Mitigate Sarcopenia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sarcopenia has emerged as a major health challenge in the aging population. Developing a sustained‐release system for whey protein may enhance its effectiveness in mitigating sarcopenia. Herein, a novel “single‐protein particle encapsulation” (SPPE) system is developed to protect whey protein and control its release.

Robust, Breathable and Stretchable Liquid Metal Composite Nanofibre for Physiological Electrical Signal Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conductive TPU/liquid‐metal nanofibrous film is fabricated via ultrasonic dispersion, electrospinning, and mold imprinting. The film is breathable, stretchable, deformation‐stable, and provides electromagnetic shielding. n‐Butanol encapsulation mitigates liquid‐metal surface tension and improves biocompatibility. Stable ECG, EOG, EEG, and EMG signals

A ROS‐Responsive and Mucoadhesive Thermosensitive Hydrogel Encapsulated with Mizoribine for Synergistic Dry Eye Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ROS‐responsive in situ thermosensitive MZR@SPPP hydrogel system enables dual‐stage drug loading and sustained ocular delivery. Upon administration, it gelates at ocular surface temperature, enhancing ocular adhesion. By scavenging free radicals, restoring NRF2‐mediated antioxidant defense and mitochondrial homeostasis, and suppressing inflammatory ...

Threat and Vulnerability of Thermal Discomfort in Yogyakarta City

Indonesian Journal of Environmental Management and Sustainability
The world’s attention to climate issues is increasing as the issue of global warming and climate change emerges. Several studies with the scope of cities and urban areas concluded that urban surface temperatures have an increasing trend. This phenomenon will have an impact on the thermal comfort of urban population.
