概括
像普世热气候指数 (UTCImax) 这样的生物气象指数提供了比单独的最高温度 (Tmax) 更全面的评估与热有关的死亡风险. 这项研究强调了UTCImax.
科学领域:
- 环境健康 环境健康
- 生物气象学生物气象学
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 传统的热健康风险评估仅依赖于温度,忽视了其他关键的环境因素.
- 生物气象学指数提供了更全面的方法,但在发展中国家的利用不足.
- 发展中国家在适应气候变化引起的热压方面面临着独特的挑战.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较最大通用热气候指数 (UTCImax) 与最高温度 (Tmax) 的有效性,以评估印度阿曼达巴德的与热有关的死亡风险.
- 通过使用这两种指数,评估该市热量行动计划 (HAP) 的有效性.
- 为发展中国家提供更准确的热健康预警系统信息.
主要方法:
- 利用分布式滞后非线性模型 (DLNM) 来分析2002年至2018年的全因死亡数据.
- 估计的相对风险 (RR) 与95%的置信区间 (CI) 在14天的滞后期.
- 比较UTCImax和Tmax暴露-反应曲线,并评估热量行动计划的有效性.
主要成果:
- UTCImax和Tmax都显示了与热量相关的死亡风险相似,但UTCImax提供了一个更好的模型,包括风速,太阳辐射和服装.
- 根据这两种指数,女性对热的敏感性更高.
- 热量行动计划表明Tmax的立即死亡风险降低,但这种效应不那么明显,并且仅限于UTCImax的极端热量,没有观察到对更长的滞后或中等热量的好处.
结论:
- 为了更全面的热健康风险评估,建议与Tmax一起使用UTCImax.
- 仅仅依赖Tmax可能会低估风险并高估热行动计划的有效性.
- 增强的生物气象指数对于在脆弱地区制定有效的热健康战略至关重要.

01:14Temperature Measurement Sites
2.2K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

6.5K
Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most precise method for assessing core body temperature and typically registers higher than oral temperature. For adults, the rectal thermometer should be inserted 1 to 1.5 inches into the rectum to obtain the most accurate reading.
Follow these steps for rectal temperature assessment:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don clean gloves to prevent cross-infection.
Step 2: Position the patient in a side-lying position to better visualize the rectal...
