SperScientific Dangers of not having a heat stress program
This document discusses the dangers of heat stress and the importance of having a heat management program. It notes that heat can kill and injure workers, and that hundreds die each year from heat-related illness in the US and other countries. The most common heat-related illnesses like heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are described. Those most at risk are outdoor workers and athletes. Not having an effective heat monitoring and work/rest program can result in lawsuits, job loss, and even death, as heat illness is preventable. The document outlines how to use a WBGT meter to effectively monitor heat stress conditions and establish work/rest guidelines to protect workers.
Heat grade 7
Heat is a form of energy that is transferred between objects or systems with different temperatures, flowing from hotter to colder. Temperature is a measure of hotness or coldness on an arbitrary scale, indicating the direction heat will spontaneously flow. Normal body temperature averages 98.6°F (37°C), though it can range from 97-99°F (36.1-37.2°C). Body temperature can be measured in different places using clinical or laboratory thermometers.
Mrs Abrey Lesson 19 thermoregulation
The document discusses how different groups of people control their body temperature in extreme climates. The Inuit people live in the Arctic where winter temperatures are as low as -30°C, while the Tuareg people live in parts of Africa where summer temperatures can reach 35°C. The body maintains a constant temperature of 37°C through temperature receptors that detect changes in blood temperature and signal the brain to increase or decrease heat loss through mechanisms like sweating, shivering, and changing blood flow.

Ella's Temperature Project
Ella completed a temperature project comparing Wellington, New Zealand and Helsinki, Finland. She recorded the daily temperatures over five days for each city and calculated the mean temperature by adding up the values and dividing by five. The mean temperature was 59 degrees for Wellington and 26 degrees for Helsinki. Ella listed what clothing items she would pack for each city based on the differences in climate.
Infrared thermometer
An infrared thermometer uses a lens to focus infrared light from an object onto a thermopile detector. The thermopile absorbs the infrared radiation and converts it to heat and electricity. The electricity is used to determine the temperature of the object being measured. Infrared thermometers are being used to measure forehead temperatures either by pressing the probe to the temple or using non-contact models that require holding it a few inches from the forehead. Key infrared thermometer manufacturers include Extech Instruments, Fluke Corporation, General Tools & Instruments, Hioki E.E. Corporation, OMEGA Engineering, PCE Deutschland, and SKF Group.

It emphasizes the importance of hydration, acclimation to heat, monitoring forecasts, and taking precautions such as scheduling work to avoid peak heat times and providing shade and breaks. Communications to workers should include the heat index and risk level and reminders about drinking water, illness prevention, work schedules, and buddy systems.
Viral inspection (1)
The infrared camera automatically detects the hottest temperature within an area set by the operator. A color alarm makes it easy to decide whether a person needs further examination or not. Infrared thermography helps detect and contain the spread of viral diseases like bird flu by screening for elevated body temperatures, one of the main symptoms. Public health authorities around the world have been looking for fast, contactless, and reliable temperature screening methods and infrared cameras have proven effective for this purpose.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Osteoporosis - Definition , Evaluation and Management .pdf

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Why should you measure heat stress
- 1. Why should you measure heat stress? If you or your employees work in hot environments you may be susceptible to heat stress. Heat stress us caused when the temperature of a surround area or the core body temperature is raised resulting in dangerous high levels. High core body temperature can result in internal heat damage to vital organs. How can you tell? If you do work in hot environments there are symptoms that tell you that you are suffering from heat stress. Symptoms can include cramps, nausea, palpitations, stroke and in some cases death! How can you measure and reduce the risks? To reduce and eliminate the effects of heat stress you must either monitor the area or core body temperature. Heat stress levels on the body can be measured using the Quest Temp II which will measure via the ear canal and alerts the user either visually or verbally. To record and measure heat in an area you can use the Quest temp Area Heat Stress And WBGT monitors, which will measure and calculate dry bulb, wet bulb and globe temperature. These 3 reading are used to calculate WBGT indoor and outdoor, relative humidity and Heat Index. What to do with the results The results given by the instruments will not only give you instant readings but will allow you to data-log using the Quest Suite Professional Software, enabling you to manage your data and make effect decisions based on them. Who uses these instruments? Many people in a wide range of areas use these heat stress monitors for safeguarding their employees. These can include power stations, steel works, glass manufacturing and military processes.
