Web of Science (WoS) was used to identify research articles on the effects extreme heat, humidity, Wet-bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), apparent temperature, wind, Heat Index, Humidex, Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), heat- wave, high temperature and hot climate on human health, human ...
People have always considered the exposure to non-ionising radiation with scepticism. The prospect that exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) can have a deleterious effect or any effect on cellular behaviour has been debated in scientific and journali
The researchers found that each additional cup of coffee (at up to six cups a day) reduces the risk of gallstones – by up to three percent. Compared to non-coffee drinkers, the subjects even had a 7 to 23 percent reduced risk of gallstones – depending on coffee consumption. Cranks up...
A heat wave and pollution episode struck the eastern portion of the United States and Canada in late June of 2005. Observations show the concurrence of high surface ozone, an abundance of fine particulate matter and scorching temperatures.Image credit: Jordan Schnell / Princeton University I...
The aim of this study was to investigate alertness and cognitive performance immediately after and until the end of the night shift after taking a 120-min monophasic nap (One-nap) or a split 90-min and 30-min nap (Two-nap) during a 16-h simulated night s
Household air pollution (HAP) is suggested to increases people's risk of disability, but mediating mechanisms between HAP and disability remains under-investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms between household air
At present, we mainly believe that global warming is caused by human activities, that is, humans burn a lot of coal, oil and other fossil fuels, thus emitting a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; on the other hand, humans destroy the green vegetation on the earth's surface, thus...
Many investigators have postulated that the poor heat dissipation capability from within the anterior segment of the eye of humans and other animals may lead to heat buildup and subsequent thermal damage [4]. For many, this has implied that the eye is sensitive to heating and especially ...
Since the publication of the review by Barger on “The Alkaloids of Ergot” (1938), the study of the effects of ergot alkaloids on the central nervous system has changed its focus from the mere prediction of undesirable side effects, such as emesis or...
DULERA is indicated for the twice-daily treatment of asthma in patients 5 years of age and older. DULERA should be used for patients not adequately controlled on a long-term asthma-control medication such as an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) or whose disease warrants initiation of treatment with ...
