Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

898
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

14.5K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Methods of reducing fever

1.1K
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Requirements for Human Life

12.3K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Factors Influencing Microbial Growth: Temperature01:27

Factors Influencing Microbial Growth: Temperature

942
Microorganisms display remarkable adaptations, enabling them to thrive in diverse ecological niches across a wide range of temperatures. Temperature profoundly influences microbial growth by affecting enzymatic activity, membrane fluidity, and other cellular processes.Each microorganism operates within a specific temperature range defined by three cardinal points: minimum, optimum, and maximum. Below the minimum temperature, membranes lose fluidity, halting transport processes. Above the...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Climate Change Impact

Background:

  • Extreme weather's impact on mortality is well-documented.
  • The relationship between moderate temperatures and mortality remains underexplored.
  • Ambient air temperature is a critical determinant of human health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively investigate the temperature-dependent mortality burden in China.
  • To assess the health impacts of both cold and heat exposures.
  • To identify specific temperature ranges contributing most to mortality.

Main Methods:

  • Collected daily average temperature and mortality data from 15 Chinese cities (2010-2016).
  • Employed quasi-Poisson regression with distributed lag nonlinear models (lag 0-21 days).
  • Conducted multivariate meta-analysis for pooled estimates and calculated mortality fractions.

Main Results:

  • Non-optimum temperatures accounted for 12.65% of non-accidental mortality (cold: 11.38%, heat: 1.27%).
  • Moderately cold temperatures, not extreme cold or heat, showed the highest contribution to temperature-related mortality.
  • The minimum mortality temperature (MMT) varied across cities, centering around the 78th percentile.

Conclusions:

  • Moderate cold temperatures represent a significant public health burden in China.
  • Findings underscore the need to focus on moderate cold effects, not just extreme events.
  • Results can inform climate change adaptation strategies and health impact predictions.
