متن کاملBody temperature regulation in diabetes
The effects of type 1 and type 2 diabetes on the body's physiological response to thermal stress is a relatively new topic in research. Diabetes tends to place individuals at greater risk for heat-related illness during heat waves and physical activity due to an impaired capacity to dissipate heat. Specifically, individuals with diabetes have been reported to have lower skin blood flow and swea...
متن کاملTemperature Regulation in Turkey Vultures
Temperature regulation by six Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura) was studied at ambient temperatures (T,) from 11 to 40°C in a metabolic chamber. Within this range body temperature varied little, averaging 39.7”C, and the ratio of CO, production to 0, consumption averaged 0.76. The thermal-neutral zone (TNZ) extended from 26 to 40°C. Below 26°C evaporative water loss and the heat-transfer coeffic...
متن کاملBody Composition in Paraplegia
Paraplegia leads to immobilisation associated with profound changes in body composition. The potential risks involved with these changes i.e. loss of lean tissue mass (LM) and bone mineral density (BMD) vs. gain in fat mass (FM) in body composition have implications for the health of the disabled individuals [1]. Body fat has been identified as a significant predictor of mortality in humans mak...
متن کاملHeterotopic Ossification in Paraplegia
This paper is based on study over twelve and a half years of 170 patients suffering from traumatic paraplegia or tetraplegia, ofwhom 162 survived for more than a month after injury, and of 103 patients with other lesions of the spinal cord. The patients in the second group were less suitable for analysis because in many the lesions were disseminated or incomplete: few could be compared with the...
