The "sunshine deficit" and cardiovascular disease.

Base deficit in the immediate postoperative period of open-heart surgery and patient outcome

 Abstarct Background: Base deficit is a non-respiratory indicator of acid base status that evaluates the severity of shock at the cellular level. Base deficit results from cellular metabolism of pyruvate under anaerobic conditions. In this situation, base deficit is a sensitive marker of the magnitude of anaerobic metabolism and tissue oxygen deficit [1]. Several studies have shown a strong pos...

Sunshine and the cardiovascular benefits – a dose of sunshine!

The signal of aerosol-induced changes in sunshine duration records: A review of the evidence

Aerosols play a significant yet complex and central role in the Earth’s radiation budget, and knowledge of long-term changes in the atmospheric turbidity induced by aerosols is therefore fundamental for a better understanding of climate change. However, there is little available information on changes in aerosol concentration in the atmosphere, especially prior to the 1980s. The present paper r...

بررسی نقش عوامل زیست اقلیمی بر شیوع بیماری سالک در شهرستان سبزوار: مطالعه موردی

  Background & Objectives : Leishmaniasis is a disease of the skin caused by a variety of protozoa. Leishmaniasis can be seen in any geographic region. This study investigated the role of climate on the prevalence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the city of Sabzevar between 2003 and 2009.   Methods : Daily meteorological data (minimum, maximum and mean temperature, sunshine hours, precipitation, ...

Sunlight effect on Ca and P serum concentration and factors influencing on regulation of two lons

The sunlight has an important role in metabolism of calcium ( Ca) and phosphorus ( P). The sunlight has different effects in different places. Therefore  the pattern of metabolic disease depends upon geographical place. In this investigation two groups of workers( one group working in shadow and the other under the sunshine) were chosen as control and experimental groups respectively.these two ...
