Body heat balance of a man with deficient sweat rate subjected to physical work in a hot environment.

چکیده
The dynamics of physiological stress and thermal balance were investigated in men subjected to endogenous and exogenous heat loads. The study was conducted using the thermometric method. Substantial differences in the dynamics of the tested parameters and their quantitative characteristics were observed in 1 out of 8 participants. In this article, the observed differences are rationalized in terms of the deficient sweat rate mechanism. It is pointed out that it is indispensable to address these cases in work safety regulations.

DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMUM HEAT STRESS INDEX AT A FOUNDRY
This paper presents a case study to determine the efficiency of the currently used heat stress indices in correlation with wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) as a permissible index at a foundry plant and to evaluate the extent of the physiological responses such as heart rate and body temperature in correlation with heat stress indices. The field consisted of a foundry plant where a shift w...
متن کاملEffectiveness of exercise-heat acclimation for preventing heat illness in the workplace.
The incidence of heat-related illness in the workplace is linked to whether or not workers have acclimated to a hot environment. Heat acclimation improves endurance work performance in the heat and thermal comfort at a given work rate. These improvements are achieved by increased sweating and skin blood flow responses, better fluid balance and cardiovascular stability. As a practical means of a...

In this issue, Gonzalez et al. (4) report new sweating rate equations that not only provide a more accurate estimation of water requirements within the boundary conditions of the widely used original Shapiro equation (OSE) (11) but also encompasses higher metabolic rates ( 800 W), lower air temperatures (15°C), extended exercise durations (2 to 8 h), and up-to-date clothing ensembles. Additiona...
متن کاملEffect of Lemon Juice on the Egg Shell Quality of Layers Subjected to Heat Stress
Heat stress is an effective factor on immune responses, body weight, egg production and egg quality of chickens. The major effect of heat stress is due to decreased food intake and alteration in acid-base balance. During the recent years, efforts to improve laying performance at high temperatures have been relatively successful. Supplementation of the diet or drinking water with special nutrien...
