Skin surface cooling improves orthostatic tolerance in normothermic individuals.
Previous studies suggest that skin surface cooling (SSC) preserves orthostatic tolerance; however, this hypothesis has not been experimentally tested. Thus the purpose of this project was to identify whether SSC improves orthostatic tolerance in otherwise normothermic individuals. Eight subjects underwent two presyncope limited graded lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) tolerance tests. On diff...
متن کاملSkin surface cooling improves orthostatic tolerance following prolonged head-down bed rest.
Prolonged exposure to microgravity, as well as its ground-based analog, head-down bed rest (HDBR), reduces orthostatic tolerance in humans. While skin surface cooling improves orthostatic tolerance, it remains unknown whether this could be an effective countermeasure to preserve orthostatic tolerance following HDBR. We therefore tested the hypothesis that skin surface cooling improves orthostat...
متن کاملSkin cooling maintains cerebral blood flow velocity and orthostatic tolerance during tilting in heated humans.
Orthostatic tolerance is reduced in the heat-stressed human. The purpose of this project was to identify whether skin-surface cooling improves orthostatic tolerance. Nine subjects were exposed to 10 min of 60 degrees head-up tilting in each of four conditions: normothermia (NT-tilt), heat stress (HT-tilt), normothermia plus skin-surface cooling 1 min before and throughout tilting (NT-tilt(cool)...
متن کاملReview of passive solar heating and cooling technologies
Heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) are parts of the major energy consumption in a building. Conventional heating and cooling systems are having an impact on carbon dioxide emissions, as well as on security of energy supply. In this regard, one of the attempts taken by researchers is the development of solar heating and cooling technologies. The objective of this paper is to revie...
متن کاملWater drinking acutely improves orthostatic tolerance in healthy subjects.
BACKGROUND Orthostatic symptoms and syncope are common, even in apparently healthy subjects. In patients with severe autonomic dysfunction, water drinking elicits an acute pressor response and improves orthostatic hypotension. We tested the hypothesis that water drinking also improves orthostatic tolerance in healthy subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS In a randomized, controlled, crossover fashion...
