The thermal ergonomics of firefighting reviewed.
TL;DR: The scientific literature is reviewed to highlight the investigative models used to contribute to the knowledge base about the ergonomics of firefighting, in particular to establish the multi-variate demands of the job and the attributes and capabilities of operators to cope with these demands.

A practical cooling strategy for reducing the physiological strain associated with firefighting activity in the heat.
TL;DR: It is concluded that this practical cooling strategy is effective at reducing the physiological strain associated with demanding firefighting activity under high ambient temperatures.

The impact of different cooling modalities on the physiological responses in firefighters during strenuous work performed in high environmental temperatures.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hand/forearm immersion is more effective than ice vests in reducing the physiological strain when firefighters re-enter structural fires after short rest periods.

Bright Light and Thermoregulatory Responses to Exercise

TL;DR: It was hypothesized that BT (low) attenuates core temperature during morning exercise via the phase-delaying properties of evening bright light and by avoiding bright light in the morning and there was evidence that the increase in perceived exertion was attenuated in BT ( low) (p = 0.056).

Is core temperature the trigger of a menopausal hot flush
TL;DR: New evidence is provided that menopausal hot flushes are unlikely triggered by an increase in core temperature, and this findings provide important information about the physiology of hot flushing that have implications for treatment and management options for menopausalhot flushes.
