Chronic l-menthol-induced browning of white adipose tissue hypothesis: A putative therapeutic regime for combating obesity and improving metabolic health
(2016)Introduction: Obesity constitutes a serious global health concern reaching pandemic prevalence rates. The existence of functional brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans has provoked intense research interest in the ... -
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 ... -
Do the threshold limit values for work in hot conditions adequately protect workers?
(2016)Purpose We evaluated core temperature responses and the change in body heat content (ΔH b) during work performed according to the ACGIH threshold limit values (TLV) for heat stress, which are designed to ensure a stable ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Indicators to assess physiological heat strain–Part 2: Delphi exercise
(2022)In a series of three companion papers published in this Journal, we identify and validate the available thermal stress indicators (TSIs). In this second paper of the series, we identified the criteria to consider when ... -
Indicators to assess physiological heat strain–Part 3: Multi-country field evaluation and consensus recommendations
(2022)In a series of three companion papers published in this Journal, we identify and validate the available thermal stress indicators (TSIs). In this third paper, we conducted field experiments across nine countries to evaluate ... -
Occupational heat stress: Multi-country observations and interventions
(2021)Background: Occupational heat exposure can provoke health problems that increase the risk of certain diseases and affect workers’ ability to maintain healthy and productive lives. This study investigates the effects of ... -
Preoperative factors affecting the intraoperative core body temperature in elective hysterectomy under general anesthesia
(2019)Background: Hypothermia is common in patients undergoing anesthesia surgery and it may increase the potential risk of post-operative complications. The purpose of this study was to investigate the intraoperative factors ... -
Separate and combined effects of cold dialysis and intradialytic exercise on the thermoregulatory responses of hemodialysis patients: a randomized-cross-over study
(2020)Background: The separate and combined effects of intradialytic exercise training (IET) and cold dialysis (CD) on patient thermoregulation remain unknown. This study assessed the thermoregulatory responses of hemodialysis ... -
Sustainable solutions to mitigate occupational heat strain - An umbrella review of physiological effects and global health perspectives
(2020)Background: Climate change is set to exacerbate occupational heat strain, the combined effect of environmental and internal heat stress on the body, threatening human health and wellbeing. Therefore, identifying effective, ... -
Workers' health and productivity under occupational heat strain: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2018)Background: Occupational heat strain (ie, the effect of environmental heat stress on the body) directly threatens workers' ability to live healthy and productive lives. We estimated the effects of occupational heat strain ...
