body temperature was higher in two prewarmed groups (between 15-min—control difference 0.3 °C, 95% CI 0.1–0.4, p = 0.004; between 30-min—control difference 0.2 °C, 95% CI 0.0–0.3, p = 0.041). Between 45-min—control difference was...
Here’s the BMI breakdown for adults: Below 18.5: Underweight 18.5-24.9: Optimum range 25.0-29.9: Overweight 30.0 and above: Obesity BMI for children and teens is expressed in terms of percentages, not raw BMI numbers. These percentages reflect a child’s BMI relative to other kids or teens...
Age.Age influences body temperature regulation, as infants andelderlyindividuals have less efficientthermoregulation. Newborns have a higher risk ofhypothermiabecause their body surface area is greater than their body mass, making them lose heat quickly. Older adults may have a lower body temperature du...
body surface area per kg body mass than lean body shapes. To this extent, lean body shapes give considerably more energy in the form of heat to the environment than compact ones, provided that the conditions of the heat exchange (ambient temperature, insulation by clothing, etc.) are ...
The normal rectal temperature in sheep and goats ranges between 102° and 103.5° F and 100.5° and 104.0° F, respectively (see Tables 1-2 and 1-3). Hyperthermia may result from elevated environmental temperature and humidity, stress and excitement, or inflammatory disease. Hypot...
where z = c, a, am, T is the deposition temperature and the E s represent the energy barrier to the event and Φs indicate a functional dependence accounting for the atomic configuration. The probability for each growing unit is normalized by setting Ptot = Pam + Pa + Pc = 1. A look...
Blood samples collected into the serum separator and K3EDTA blood tubes were centrifuged at 1700 × g (3000 rpm) for 15 min at room temperature and 4 °C, respectively before aliquoting into Eppendorf tubes and stored at − 20 °C. Fasting serum lipids (non-esterified fatty acids (...
