Efficacy of two intermittent cooling strategies during prolonged work-rest intervals in the heat with personal protective gear compared with a control condition
IntroductionPersonal protective equipment (PPE) inhibits heat dissipation and elevates heat strain. Impaired cooling with PPE warrants investigation...

Comparison of low-concentration carbon dioxide-enriched and tap water immersion on body temperature after passive heating
BackgroundBecause carbon dioxide (CO 2 )-enriched water causes cutaneous vasodilation, immersion in CO 2 -enriched water facilitates heat transfer from...

Local cooling during hot water immersion improves perceptions without inhibiting the acute interleukin-6 response
PurposePassive elevation of body temperature can induce an acute inflammatory response that has been proposed to be beneficial; however, it can be...

Tau antibody isotype induces differential effects following passive immunisation of tau transgenic mice
One of the main pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the intraneuronal accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau. Passive...
