Clothing and Regulation of Body Temperature

The regulation of body temperature.

Insulated skin temperature as a measure of core body temperature for individuals wearing CBRN protective clothing.

This study assessed the validity of insulated skin temperature (Tis) to predict rectal temperature (Tre) for use as a non-invasive measurement of thermal strain to reduce the risk of heat illness for emergency service personnel. Volunteers from the Police, Fire and Rescue, and Ambulance Services performed role-related tasks in hot (30 °C) and neutral (18 °C) conditions, wearing service specific...

Body 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...

Physiol. 227(3): 583-589. 1974.-The body temperature (Tb) of hibernating golden-mantled ground squirrels, Citellus lateralis, passively follows ambient temperature (Tft) down to some critical temperature below which metabolic heat production increases and the differential between 1‘1, and T:, in...

Body temperature regulation: Sasang typology-based perspective

Global warming induces a dramatic elevation of heat-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Individual variation of heat stress vulnerability depends on various factors such as age, gender, living area and conditions, health status, and individual innate characteristics. Sasang typology is a unique form of Korean traditional medicine, which is based on the hypothesis that constitution-specif...
