Surkov. Temperature and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encefalopathy 1 Key points Therapeutic hypothermia or targeted temperature management has been shown to improve outcome after perinatal asphyxia in large clinical trials. Controlled cooling has become the standard of care for newborns with hypoxicischemic encephalopathy but preference of its method still remains controversial. The efficacy and s...

PURPOSE This systematic review was conducted to identify the impact of upper body warm-up on performance and injury prevention outcomes. METHODS Web of Science, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO and Cochrane databases were searched using terms related to upper extremity warm-up. Inclusion criteria were English language randomised controlled trials from peer-reviewed journals in which investigati...

This paper will discuss the results obtained with a first prototype of a completely passive and wireless low pressure sensor. The device is a heat conductivity gauge, based on a wireless and passive SAW temperature sensor. The required heating energy is applied to the sensor using inductive coupling. The prototype was successfully tested in a vacuum chamber. Its equilibrium temperature changed ...

This study examined changes in muscle temperature, electrically evoked muscle contractile properties, and voluntary power before and after a soccer specific active warm-up and subsequent rest period. Ten amateur soccer players performed two experimental sessions that involved performance of a modified FIFA 11+ soccer specific warm-up, followed by a 12.5-min rest period where participants were r...

The purpose of this study was to identify the pattern of change in the density of activated sweat glands (ASG) and sweat output per gland (SGO) during dynamic constant-workload exercise and passive heat stress. Eight male subjects (22.8 +/- 0.9 yr) exercised at a constant workload (117.5 +/- 4.8 W) and were also passively heated by lower-leg immersion into hot water of 42 degrees C under an amb...

Thermal effects impact the flow around and within structures. This computational study assesses features that affect the heating and buoyancy, and thus, the resulting flow both internal and external to a building. Considerations include the importance of time of day, building materials, sky cover, etc. on the local thermal heating of a passive solar building. Such impacts are assessed using ful...

Previously we have shown in dogs that tibial bone marrow and s.c. tissue temperatures are lower than rectal temperature during the plateau phase of whole body hyperthermia with the use of a radiant heating device. In an attempt to increase thermal dose to these sites during whole body hyperthermia, we applied insulation to an extremity prior to the plateau phase of heating. We found that extrem...
