Exposure to excessive heat can have wide-ranging impacts on anyone, from the direct effects of heat on the body to the worsening of existing conditions. "Rapid rises in heat gain due to exposure to hotter than average conditions compromises the body's ability to regulate temperature and can re...
Extreme heat threatens human life, evidenced by >260,000 heat-related fatalities collectively in the deadliest events since 2000. In this Review, we link physical climate science with heat mortality risk, including crossings of uncompensable thresholds (beyond which human core body temperature rises ...
Heat Impacts on Vulnerable Populations. Everyone is at risk from the dangers of extreme heat, but these groups are more vulnerable than most: pregnant, newborns, children, elderly, chronic illness. Age and certain conditions make the body less able to regulate temperature. Never leave anyone alone...
Prenatal life and childhood represent periods that are vulnerable to environmental exposures. Both cold and heat may have negative impacts on children’s mental health and cognition, but the underlying neural mechanisms are unknown. Here, by a magnetic r
A preliminary scan of the articles identified after con- ducting the searches listed in Table 2 was undertaken to eliminate studies that examine non-human impacts, such as those on plants and animals. A manual check on the articles' titles, abstracts, and main text was undertaken for ...
Climate and environmental changes threaten human mental health, but the impacts of specific environmental conditions on neuropsychiatric disorders remain largely unclear. Here, we show the impact of a humid heat environment on the brain and the gut microbiota using a conditioned housing male mouse model...
The centerworks with front-line health clinicsto help their predominantly low-income patients respond to thehealth impacts of climate change. Federally backed clinics alone provide care to about 30 million Americans, including many children, he said. ...
Europe warming at twice rate of other continents as heat stress severely impacts public health – climate report 2023 weather and climate-related economic losses in Europe estimated at more than €13.4 billion Mon Apr 22 2024 - 03:06 The heat is mind-melting. Fires loom on the horizon. I ...
people will be at greater risk to adverse heat health impacts. Understanding the effect of heat on human health and who is most at risk is critical for preventing heat related illnesses, deaths, and other consequences like loss of economic activity. Knowledge on how to respond to heat illness...
4c). Strikingly, when bees were subjected to a low quality diet, the impacts of heat stress on syrup collection became more pronounced for both small (Fig. 4d) and large colonies (Fig. 4c), with declines already detected for this last group when stress was raised from low to medium (...
