Heat exposure, especially during extreme heat events, is a public and occupational health concern, as it can cause heat stroke, heat exhaustion, fainting, and other potentially fatal heat related illnesses14,15,16. For example, during June 26–28, 2021, high temperature records were broken in ...

Constraint of human body core temperature within a degree or two of 37 °C, which is the optimal temperature for normal cellu...
Most canine HRI research has applied a variation of the Classical Heat Stroke Criteria when selecting cases for analysis, and generally included only dogs presented to referral hospitals rather than primary-care practices11,17,18. This has tended to exclude dogs presenting with milder clinical signs ...
Above this threshold, heat conditions become dangerous or extremely dangerous for at-risk groups (https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat-index) and heat disorders such as heat stroke and heat exhaustion become likely (NOAA, 1985; Fischer and Schar, 2010). AT105F is the threshold at which the ...
stroke volume; Tb, body temperature; Tcore, core temperature measured at the rectum, intestine or esophagus; Tneck, neck temperature; Tsk, mean skin temperature; Ttorso, torso temperature; TC, thermal comfort; TS, thermal sensation; TT, time trial; VE, volitional exhaustion; VO2max, maximal...
(8.2 ± 2.2) as factors that potentially make them more likely to suffer from heat-related illness during wildland firefighting. It was observed that physical fitness (H = 12.94;p< 0.05) and hydration level (H = 11.25;p< 0.05) were judged as more relevant for HM versus WFF (9.3 ± ...
These results are consistent with previous research that demonstrated that the rate of heat storage was directly related to time to exhaustion [8] and that increases in heat storage reduced an individual’s ability to tolerate heat stress [33]. As predicted, firefighter’s level of fatigue ...
TheV·O2maxV·O2maxtest was conducted in a cool environment. The test began 1.0 kilopond (kp) and this was increased in 0.5 kp increments every 2 min to exhaustion (at 60 rpm). During the test, expired gases were collected and analyzed through an automatic gas analyzer (AE300S, Minato...
Saudi Arabia (SA) is one of the hottest countries in the world. This study was conducted to assess the impact of summer heat stress in Southeastern SA on short-term kidney injury (KI) among building construction workers and to identify relevant risk fact
