Climate Change, Skin Health, and Dermatologic Disease: A Guide for the Dermatologist
AbstractClimate change has a pervasive impact on health and is of clinical relevance to every organ system. Climate change-related factors impact the skin ’s capacity to maintain homeostasis, leading to a variety of cutaneous diseases. Stratospheric ozone depletion has led to increased risk of melanoma and keratinocyte carcinomas due to ultraviolet radiation exposure. Atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, pemphigus, acne vulgaris, melasma, and photoaging ar e all associated with rising levels of air pollution. Elevated temperatures due to global warming induce disruption of the skin microbiome, thereby impacting atopic dermatiti...

Proteomics analyses of acute kidney injury biomarkers in a rat exertional heat stroke model
In this study, a rat model of AKI caused by EHS was established, and the reliability of the model was evaluated by HE staining and biochemical assays. The expression of kidney tissue proteins in the EHS rats was analyzed using label-free liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 3,129 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were obtained, and 10 key proteins were finally identified, which included three upregulated proteins (Ahsg, Bpgm, and Litaf) and seven downregulated proteins (medium-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 2 (Acsm2), Hadha, Keg1, Sh3glb1, Eif3d, Ambp, and Ddah2). The qPCR technique was used to va...

Prediction of climate change impacts on heatstroke cases in Japan's 47 prefectures with the effect of long-term heat adaptation

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne of the negative consequences of increased air temperatures due to global warming is the associated increase in heat-related mortality and morbidity. Studies that focused on future predictions of heat-related morbidity do not consider the effect of long-term heat adaptation measures, nor do they use evidence-based methods. Therefore, this study aimed to predict the future heatstroke cases for all 47 prefectures of Japan, by considering long-term heat adaptation by translating current geographical differences in heat adaptati...

Management of a Special Warfare Trainee With Repeat Exertional Heat Stroke: A Case Study
CONCLUSIONS: In individuals with repeat EHS, a prolonged recovery period followed by heat tolerance testing can be used to demonstrate appropriate thermotolerance and safely clear an individual to begin stepwise reacclimatization. Overall, patient care and military readiness may be improved by unified Department of Defense guidelines for return to duty after EHS.PMID:37290772 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2022-0324 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Effects of Cooling Interventions with Different Target Temperatures on Heat Stroke Rats
CONCLUSION: The mechanisms of cooling intervention in alleviating heat stroke-induced damage were associated with the expression changes of p-Akt, Caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2. The better effect of Tc+1°C might be associated with low expression of Bax.PMID:37284704 | PMC:PMC10239648 | DOI:10.2147/JIR.S408316 (Source: Cell Research)

Endothelial glycocalyx injury is involved in heatstroke-associated coagulopathy and protected by N-acetylcysteine
DiscussionOur results indicate that the poor prognosis of HS patients correlates with severe coagulation disorders, coagulation abnormalities in HS rats are associated with the damage of EGCX, and NAC improves HS-induced coagulopathy, probably through its protection against EGCX injury by preventing ROS generation.
