Design of a System to Monitor Youth Workers' Heat Stress and Positioning using Non-invasive Techniques
… employing sensor based technologies. Using aural temperature measurement techniques involving a thermistor and thermopile, an accurate estimation of core body temperature can be made. The measurements performed by the devices are recorded and transmitted wirelessly over a ZigBee network using XBee …

Capsinoids, Non-Pungent TRPV1 Agonists, Induce a Mild Hypothermia That Provides Short- and Long-Term Neuroprotection After Ischemic Stroke
… (IP) to mice induced a TRPV1-dependent drop in core body temperature into the mild hypothermia range (32-34 °C). Core temperatures dropped without triggering observable cold defense mechanisms (e.g. shivering). The response to capsinoids was dose-dependent and effective in young and aged mice of …

Evaluation of core temperature measurement and treatment of capture-related hyperthermia in anesthetized brown bears (Ursus arctos)
… of the present study were to: 1) compare body temperature of anesthetized brown bears obtained by Vital Sense® capsules (VS) inserted gastrically to those obtained by deep rectal VS and handheld digital thermometer (HDT) and 2) to evaluate the decrease in core body temperature produced by …

Effects of heat stress and fescue toxicosis on the immune system and other physiological parameters
… toxins, resulting in reduced feed intake (FI), body weight (BW) and a compromised thermoregulatory system when consumed by animals . Our first study showed that sensitizing rats helped them adapt to the toxin by maintaining a lower core body temperature on subsequent exposure. The short-term …

Thermoregulation in exercising horses: Aspects of temperature monitoring during field exercise
… present, little is known about the influence of core body temperature evolvement on hyperthermia in real time during different types of exercise performed in field conditions such as racing and endurance events. Consequently, it is becoming increasingly important to establish appropriate policies …

Dairy cow management systems: handling, health, and well-being
… investigating associations between increases in body temperature and common production diseases of dairy cattle, which is presented in Chapter III. Body temperature monitoring is a common practice employed on dairy farms as a way of detecting disease in dairy cows. Common production disorders of …

Business Development and Commercialization of UroSense™.
… drainage bottle that automates urine output and core body temperature (CBT) data in catheterized patients. These two vital signs are currently being measured by manual, time-intensive and inaccurate methods and are important indicators to facilitate early treatment and diagnosis. UroSense™ is an …

Hypothermia as an adjunctive therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock
… show this effect, possibly because a therapeutic temperature was not reached before reperfusion in the majority of the patients allocated to hypothermia treatment. We aimed to evaluate if hypothermia initiated before reperfusion would reduce infarct size. Furthermore, a protocol utilising a …

Neuromuscular fatigue following a singles badminton match
… from video analysis. Heart rate (HR) and core body temperature were recorded during the matches, and blood lactate (BL) was measured before and immediately post match. Both femoral nerve and muscle electrical stimulations were used in the present study. Maximal voluntary isometric …

FROM CLOCKS TO EXERCISE, FROM METABOLISM TO PERFORMANCE: A CHRONOPHYSIOLOGICAL APPROACH
… aspects, investigating the influence of temperature regulation, metabolism, and clock genes in determining exercise physiology. The complex interaction between the central biological clock and peripheral clocks is described, with a focus on clock genes such as Cry1 and Cry2, which are …

Physiological and Perceived Psychological Responses of Collegiate Football Athletes to Ventilated Shoulder Pads During a Scrimmage
… effect of cold air ventilated shoulder pads on core temperature and perceived exertion in football athletes during a scrimmage. METHODS: Eight football athletes were randomly divided into two groups, one receiving cold air ventilation (v) and the other receiving no treatment (nv). Ratings of …

The acute and phase-shifting effects of artificial bright light on human physiology, performance and symptoms of jet-lag
… a lack of research on how manipulations of the body clock, via bright light, can enhance human performance and/or alleviate the effects of jet-lag after transmeridian travel. The doctoral programme communicated in the present thesis was designed to fill some of these gaps in knowledge. In the …

The role of brown adipose tissue on substrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity in humans
… was to explore the role of BAT in whole-body energy homeostasis, glucose and lipids kinetics, insulin sensitivity, and thermoregulation in humans. To this end, we studied men with (BAT+) or without (BAT-) detectable BAT under prolonged mild cold and thermoneutral conditions using infusion …

Thermal and Behavioral Ecology of the Mexican Beaded Lizard (Heloderma horridum)
… which commonly weighs more than 1kg. This large body size means that this species has significant thermal inertia, which, depending on the characteristics of the immediate thermal gradient, can cause its core-body temperature (Tb¬) to lag behind surrounding operative temperatures (Te) by as much …

Flexible, stretchable, biointegrated arrays of electronic thermal sensors and actuators for advancements in clinical medicine
… of thermal information related to the human body can provide significant insights into important physiological phenomena, such as blood flow changes, stress, infection and thermoregulation. However, technologies to-date have either been hindered by a high sensitivity to motion artifacts, or …

The Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein (TCTP) associates to and destabilizes the Circadian Factor Period 2 (Per2)
Period 2 (Per2) is a core circadian factor responsible for its own negative regulation. It operates in the circadian clock, which affects multiple biological functions such as metabolic rate, hormone release, and core body temperature. The Per2 protein functions directly with factors in other …

Effects of Simulated Cold and Warm Transport on Turkeys
… treatments. Significance was declared at p≤0.05. Core body temperature (CBT), live shrink (LS), and delta blood glucose (BG) were assessed; meat quality measures included thigh and breast pH and L*, a*, and b* colour values. Behaviour was measured using instantaneous scan sampling during the last …
