Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

726
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...

Cold Weather Concreting01:27

Cold Weather Concreting

122
When freshly poured concrete is exposed to freezing temperatures before it has set, the water within the concrete can freeze. This expansion disrupts the setting process, delays chemical reactions necessary for hardening, and increases the volume of pores within the hardened concrete, which weakens its overall structure. If the concrete manages to reach an appreciable strength before it freezes, the damage can be somewhat mitigated.
To counteract the negative impacts of cold weather, ensuring...

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

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

785
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.

Thermosensation01:43

Thermosensation

31.9K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Paddlesport athletes often experience nonfreezing cold injury (NFCI) and chronic cold intolerance. Risk factors include being female, smoking, Raynaud's phenomenon, or nerve injury, not cumulative cold exposure.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Environmental Health
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Nonfreezing cold injury (NFCI) results from prolonged tissue cooling without freezing, leading to long-term issues like cold intolerance, pain, and numbness.
  • Paddlesport athletes engaging in cold-weather activities face a heightened risk of developing NFCI and its sequelae.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the risk factors associated with NFCI and chronic cold intolerance in hands among paddlesport athletes.
  • To determine the correlation between cumulative cold exposure and the severity of cold intolerance.
  • To identify specific demographic and health-related factors contributing to NFCI and cold intolerance in this population.

Main Methods:

  • An epidemiological study involving 609 paddlesport athletes who completed a survey.
  • The survey collected data on demographics, activity details, NFCI symptoms, and a Cold Intolerance Severity Score (CISS).
  • Statistical analysis, including regression, was used to identify risk factors and correlations.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-three percent of athletes reported symptoms indicative of acute NFCI.
  • Fifteen percent had a pathological CISS (>50), with higher scores in females, those with Raynaud's phenomenon, or migraines.
  • Female sex, smoking, Raynaud's phenomenon, and prior nerve injury were significant risk factors for pathological cold intolerance.

Conclusions:

  • A substantial number of paddlesport athletes experience NFCI symptoms or pathological cold intolerance.
  • Cumulative cold exposure did not correlate with a high CISS.
  • Key risk factors for developing pathological cold intolerance include female sex, smoking, Raynaud's phenomenon, and nerve injury.
