What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.2K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

What is the Endocrine System?00:46

What is the Endocrine System?

413.5K
The endocrine system sends hormones—chemical signals—through the bloodstream to target cells—the cells the hormones selectively affect. These signals are produced in endocrine cells, secreted into the extracellular fluid, and then diffuse into the blood. Eventually, they diffuse out of the blood and bind to target cells which have specialized receptors to recognize the hormones.

Global Climate Change

24.1K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

An Overview of the Endocrine System

7.8K
The endocrine system, a complex network of glands, orchestrates physiological balance within the body through the production and secretion of hormones. These hormones are chemical messengers in intercellular communication, acting as conduits between the secretory cells and distant target sites. They traverse the circulatory system by being released into the extracellular fluid, and their impact is specific to cells possessing receptors for a particular hormone.

Endocrine Signaling01:45

Endocrine Signaling

63.9K
Endocrine cells produce hormones to communicate with remote target cells found in other organs. The hormone reaches these distant areas using the circulatory system. This exposes the whole organism to the hormone but only those cells expressing hormone receptors or target cells are affected. Thus, endocrine signaling induces slow responses from its target cells but these effects also last longer.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Environmental Health
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Climate change poses increasing risks to the endocrine system.
  • Endocrine clinicians' perspectives on climate change are crucial for addressing health impacts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess endocrine clinicians' awareness, knowledge, and concerns regarding climate change.
  • To evaluate their motivation for action and perceived need for climate health education.
  • To identify preferred resources for climate and health information.

Main Methods:

  • An online questionnaire was distributed to endocrine clinicians via social media and email.
  • Data were collected from September to November 2022.
  • Descriptive analyses were performed on 164 physician responses.

Main Results:

  • 95% of respondents believe climate change is occurring, with 52% expressing significant worry.
  • Knowledge levels about climate change and health effects were variable.
  • Top concerns included reduced exercise, malnutrition, and weather disruptions; 72.8% agreed on integrating climate health into medical education.

Conclusions:

  • Endocrine clinicians acknowledge and are concerned about climate change, but possess varied knowledge.
  • There is a clear demand for endocrine-specific climate and health curricula.
  • Continuing medical education, patient resources, and policy statements are valued resources.
