Of approximately 300 cultures of Salmonella, representing 75 different serotypes, none was found to be as heat-resistant as S. senftenberg 775W. However, S. blockley 2004 was 5 times more heat-resistant and S. senftenberg 775W was 30 times more heat-resistant than S. typhimurium Tm-1, the reference strain in this study. All other strains of Salmonella tested, including 19 strains of S. senftenb...

BACKGROUND To assess the public health risk of heat waves and to set criteria for alerts for -excessive heat, various meteorologic metrics and models are used in different jurisdictions, generally without systematic comparisons of alternatives. We report such an analysis for New York City that compared maximum heat index with alternative metrics in models to predict daily variation in warm-seas...

BACKGROUND A number of myocardial Doppler-derived velocity, strain myocardial imaging parameters (DMI) and speckle tracking imaging (STI) have been proposed for the quantification of myocardial ischemia during stress echocardiography. The purpose of the study was to identify the best single ultrasound quantitative parameter for prediction of significant coronary stenosis and compare it with vis...

PURPOSE To examine the effect of hypohydration on physiological strain and intermittent sprint exercise performance in the heat (35.5 +/- 0.6 degrees C, 48.7 +/- 3.4% relative humidity). METHODS Eight unacclimatized males (age 23.4 +/- 6.2 y, height 1.78 +/- 0.04 m, mass 76.8 +/- 7.7 kg) undertook three trials, each over two days. On day 1, subjects performed 90 min of exercise/heat-induced d...

Purpose. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Possis rheolytic thrombectomy with or without indwelling catheter-directed pharmacolysis for the treatment of massive pulmonary embolus in patients presenting with right heart strain and/or a pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Materials and Methods. Retrospective review of patients undergoing pulmonary pharmacolysis was performed (07/2004-06...

The effect of greatly restricting heat treatment time and temperature, as well as the strain space between heat treatments was investigated for a high homogeneity Nb46.5wt% composite. The number of heat treatments was 3 or 6. It was found that the crucial heat treatment was the final one and that the initial ones could be considerably restricted. A strong linear relationship was found between J...

There is a concern to use masks during physical activities when exercising and working. Wearing activity will pose risk physiological changes in the body human heat strain by principle of mask can block respiratory tract. This study aims determine how much quantitatively qualitatively using different types medical masks, cloths N95. were 10 respondents as sample this study. The results obtained...

OBJECTIVES Limited evidence is available regarding the association between prenatal job strain and infant neurodevelopment. Most studies used stress indicators other than job strain to explain the relationship between prenatal maternal stress and child development. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between maternal job strain during pregnancy and neurodevelopment in...
