COVID-19 and thermoregulation-related problems: Practical recommendations
(2021)The COVID-19 pandemic started in the cold months of the year 2020 in the Northern hemisphere. Concerns were raised that the hot season may lead to additional problems as some typical interventions to prevent heat-related ... -
Early embryo losses, progesterone and pregnancy associated glycoproteins levels during summer heat stress in dairy cows
(2021)Objectives of this study were to characterize the effects of heat stress on pregnancy associated glycoproteins (PAG) and progesterone and its involvement in embryo survival. In trial 1, blood samples collected from days ... -
Effect of a simulated heat wave on physiological strain and labour productivity
(2021)Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of a simulated heat-wave on the labour productivity and physiological strain experienced by workers. Methods: Seven males were confined for ten days in controlled ... -
The effect of plasma osmolality and baroreceptor loading status on postexercise heat loss responses
(2016)We examined the separate and combined effects of plasma osmolality and baroreceptor loading status on postexercise heat loss responses. Nine young males completed a 45-min treadmill exercise protocol at 58 ± 2% V O2 peak, ... -
Effectiveness of cold water immersion for treating exertional heat stress when immediate response is not possible
(2015)Immediate treatment with cold water immersion (CWI) is the gold standard for exertional heatstroke. In the field, however, treatment is often delayed due to delayed paramedic response and/or inaccurate diagnosis. We examined ... -
Effects of exercise-heat stress on circulating stress hormones and interleukin-6 in young and older men
(2020)Aging is associated with impairments in thermoregulatory function, which may augment the neuroendocrine and immune response in older relative to young adults during physical activity in the heat. This study was therefore ... -
The effects of heat shock protein 70 addition in the culture medium on the development and quality of in vitro produced heat shocked bovine embryos
(2021)The aims of the present study were to examine the effects of HSP70 addition in the in vitro culture medium of day 3 embryos on their developmental competence and quality. Bovine oocytes (n = 1442) were in vitro matured, ... -
Environmental and Psychophysical Heat Stress in Adolescent Tennis Athletes
(2021)Purpose: We investigated the environmental conditions in which all outdoor International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior tournaments (athlete ages: <18 y) were held during 2010–2019. Thereafter, we performed a crossover ... -
An Evaluation of the Physiological Strain Experienced by Electrical Utility Workers in North America
(2015)The purpose of this study was to assess the physiological strain experienced by North American electrical utility workers during the performance of their normal work duties in heat stressed conditions. Three common job ... -

Health vs. wealth: Employer, employee and policy-maker perspectives on occupational heat stress across multiple European industries
(2021)Successful implementation of cooling strategies obviously depends on identifying effective interventions, but in industrial settings, it is equally important to consider feasibility and economic viability. Many cooling ... -
Heart rate variability during high heat stress: A comparison between young and older adults with and without type 2 diabetes
(2016)We examined whether older individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) experience differences in heart rate variability (HRV) during a 3-hour exposure to high heat stress compared to young adults. Young (YOUNG; n=22; ... -
Heart rate variability dynamics during treatment for exertional heat strain when immediate response is not possible
(2019)New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Does a delay in cold water immersion treatment affect the cardiac autonomic control of exertionally heat-strained individuals? What is the main finding and its ... -
Heat remains unaccounted for in thermal physiology and climate change research
(2017)In the aftermath of the Paris Agreement, there is a crucial need for scientists in both thermal physiology and climate change research to develop the integrated approaches necessary to evaluate the health, economic, ... -
Heat shock protein 70 improves in vitro embryo yield and quality from heat stressed bovine oocytes
(2021)Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a chaperon that stabilizes unfolded or partially folded proteins, preventing inappropriate inter-and intramolecular interactions. Here, we examined the developmental competence of in vitro ... -
Heat waves occurrence and outdoor workers’ self-assessment of heat stress in slovenia and greece
(2019)Changing patterns of heat waves are part of the global warming effect and the importance of changes is reinforced by their negative impact on society. Firstly, heat waves were analyzed in Brnik (Slovenia) and Larisa (Greece) ... -
The HEAT-SHIELD project — Perspectives from an inter-sectoral approach to occupational heat stress
(2021)Objectives: To provide perspectives from the HEAT-SHIELD project (www.heat-shield.eu): a multi-national, inter-sectoral, and cross-disciplinary initiative, incorporating twenty European research institutions, as well as ... -
High prevalence of hypohydration in occupations with heat stress - Perspectives for performance in combined cognitive and motor tasks
(2018)Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of dehydration in occupational settings and contextualize findings to effects on performance in cognitively dominated tasks, simple and complex motor tasks during moderate and high heat ... -
The impacts of sun exposure on worker physiology and cognition: Multi-country evidence and interventions
(2021)Background: A set of four case-control (n = 109), randomized-controlled (n = 7), cross-sectional (n = 78), and intervention (n = 47) studies was conducted across three countries to investigate the effects of sun exposure ... -
