Heat-related illness in athletes.
Heat stroke in athletes is entirely preventable. Exertional heat illness is generally the result of increased heat production and impaired dissipation of heat. It should be treated aggressively to avoid life-threatening complications. The continuum of heat illness includes mild disease (heat edema, heat rash, heat cramps, heat syncope), heat exhaustion, and the most severe form, potentially lif...
متن کاملExertional Heat Illness and Hyponatremia: An Epidemiological Prospective
CARTER, R. Exertional heat illness and hyponatremia: an epidemiological prospective. Curr. Sports Med. Rep., Vol. 7, No. 4, pp. S20YS27, 2008. In active populations, heat illness remains a cause of exercise-related injury and death. There is evidence that hyponatremia also occurs, but less often than heat illness. Incidence rates of these conditions are determined by the population at risk and ...
متن کاملThe engineering options for mitigating the climate impacts of aviation.
Aviation is a growing contributor to climate change, with unique impacts due to the altitude of emissions. If existing traffic growth rates continue, radical engineering solutions will be required to prevent aviation becoming one of the dominant contributors to climate change. This paper reviews the engineering options for mitigating the climate impacts of aviation using aircraft and airspace t...

متن کاملNon-heat related impacts of climate change on working populations
Environmental and social changes associated with climate change are likely to have impacts on the well-being, health, and productivity of many working populations across the globe. The ramifications of climate change for working populations are not restricted to increases in heat exposure. Other significant risks to worker health (including physical hazards from extreme weather events, infectio...
