   Sammanfattning : Background The remarkably efficient mechanisms of the human body to maintain its core temperature of 37°C can be inadequate when harsh climatic conditions and excessive muscle movement lead to heat stress, dehydration and potential heat illness, ranging from minor symptoms such as fatigue to a potentially fatal heat stroke. Agricultural workers in the tropics are at high risk, which is expected to increase with climate change. LÄS MER

3. 2. Molecular And Cellular Networks in Critical Illness Associated Muscle Weakness : Skeletal Muscle Proteostasis in the Intensive Care Unit

   Författare :Varuna Chaminda Banduseela; Lars Larsson; Gustavo Nader; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chaperones; autophagy; intensive care unit; heat shock proteins; protein synthesis; proteostasis; ER stress; gene expression; sepsis; neuromuscular blockers; corticosteroids; immobilisation; mechanical ventilation; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Critical illness associated muscle weakness and muscle dysfunction in intensive care unit (ICU) patients lead to severe morbidity and mortality as well as significant adverse effect on quality of life. Immobilization, mechanical ventilation, neuromuscular blocking agents, corticosteroids, and sepsis have been implicated as important risk factors, but the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remain unclear.

4. 3. Critical illness myopathy : mechanisms and pharmacological interventions

   Författare :Hazem Akkad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The human body typically contains over 600 skeletal muscles that make up about 40% of total body weight. These muscles work together to perform functions such as locomotion, breathing, mastication, heat regulation and speech. LÄS MER

5. 4. Critical illness myopathy : understanding different effects on muscle fibre function

   Författare :Hannah Ogilvie; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Skeletal muscle is an essential component of the human body, being one of the most dynamic and plastic tissues. As such it can be altered by numerous confounding factors. LÄS MER

7. 5. Critical illness myopathy : effects of specific intervention strategies and molecular mechanisms

   Författare :Rebeca Corpeño Kalamgi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Skeletal muscles are a tissue with remarkable adaptability and are essential in the body in many aspects. The homeostasis of the muscles is vital for the maintenance of the body, thus muscle damage is associated with several diseases and leads to a poor quality of life. LÄS MER
