Global warming threatens human thermoregulation and survival.
There is overwhelming evidence showing that human activities have contributed to global warming over the past century. Global warming has a severe impact on food and water supplies, housing and other infrastructure, health, and economic activities.

In silico evaluation of the thermal stress induced by MRI switched gradient fields in patients with metallic hip implant [PDF]
This work focuses on the in silico evaluation of the energy deposed by MRI switched gradient fields in bulk metallic implants and the consequent temperature increase in the surrounding tissues. An original computational strategy, based on the subdivision

Impairments to Thermoregulation in the Elderly During Heat Exposure Events
Heat waves represent a public health risk to elderly people, and typically result in an increased rate of hospital admissions and deaths. Studies of thermoregulation in this cohort have generally focused on single elements such as sweating capacity ...

Functional relationship between peripheral thermosensation and behavioral thermoregulation
Thermoregulation is a fundamental mechanism for maintaining homeostasis in living organisms because temperature affects essentially all biochemical and physiological processes. Effector responses to internal and external temperature cues are critical for

Challenges of measuring body temperatures of free-ranging birds and mammals [PDF]
The thermal physiology of most birds and mammals is characterised by considerable spatial and temporal variation in body temperature. Body temperature is, therefore, a key parameter in physiological, behavioural and ecological research.
