Fluids and electrolytes (sodium) are consumed by athletes, or recommended to athletes, for a number of reasons, before, during, and after exercise. These reasons are generally to sustain total body water, as deficits (hypohydration) will increase cardiovascular and thermal strain and degrade aerobic performance. Vigorous exercise and warm/hot weather induce sweat production, which contains both...

Plasmon-induced hot carrier formation is attracting an increasing research interest due to its potential for applications in photocatalysis, photodetection and solar energy harvesting. However, despite very significant experimental effort, a comprehensive theoretical description of the hot carrier generation process is still missing. In this work we develop a theoretical model for the plasmon-i...

Objective: Our previous study reported that thermal stimulation on thigh muscle in vivo and skeletal muscle-derived cell (SMDC) vitro favorably changed plasma proteins several gene expression, respectively, to prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In our experiment using transcriptome, hot caused a slight decrease SMDC density, associated with higher expression of apoptosis-re...

INTRODUCTION Hot flashes have been postulated to be linked to the development of metabolic disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hot flashes, adipocyte-derived hormones, and insulin resistance in healthy, non-obese postmenopausal women. PARTICIPANTS AND DESIGN In this cross-sectional study, a total of 151 women aged 45-60 years were stratified into one of three grou...

The mechanisms behind hot flashes in menopausal women are not fully understood. The flashes in women are probably preceded by and actually initiated by a sudden downward shift in the set point for the core body temperature in the thermoregulatory center that is affected by sex steroids, β-endorphins, and other central neurotransmitters. Treatments that influence these factors may be expected to...

Following PET/CT, PET/MR is the newest diagnostic whole-body hybrid imaging modality. Simultaneous PET and MR data acquisition requires novel technical solutions and offers new diagnostic opportunities. Attenuation correction (AC) and motion correction (MC) of PET data are current hot topics in PET/MR hybrid imaging research. The added diagnostic value of PET/MR in whole-body imaging is current...

Phytochemicals of mushrooms are nutritionally functional and a source of physiologically beneficial medicines. In the present study, crude hot water; cold water extracts of Calocybe indica was qualitatively screened for the presence of phytochemicals. Hot water extracts showed the presence of many phytochemicals like polysaccharide, phenol, flavonoids, alkaloid, terpenoid and saponin when compa...
