Background: Brem industry workers can be at risk to get into heat strain in their workplace. The cases are caused by heat pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature. Purpose: To analyze the heat pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature that can influence the heat strain simultaneously to the workers of the Brem industry in the Kaliabu region, Madiun city, Indonesia. Method: The research is characteristic analytic observation quantitative with the cross-sectional approach in which a sample is 157 respondents with a total amount are 266 workers. The analysis test path use SPSS AMOS 23 accessories to analyze the data. Result: The results of the research are that heat stress does not influence the pulse rate (estimate 0, 02). Heat stress influences body temperature (estimate 0, 12). Heat stress does not influence the heat strain directly (estimate 0, 011). Pulse rate does not influence the heat strain (estimate 0, 08) and body temperature influences the heat strain (estimate 0, 04). Conclusion: Heat stress does not influence the heat strain directly but it influences the variety of body temperature so it needs to pay attention to the work duration time well. (7 hours working and 1 hour for taking rest). Also, it needed an arrangement of the room and adding the system of ventilation to get down the heat from the environment so heat strain can be restrained by checking the environment temperature and body temperature workers routine.

ABSTRACT Effects heat stress on physiological responses can be seen on increase body temperature, pulse rate and blood pressure (systole and diastole) and also weight loss. The aim of this study is to analyze the physiological responses of workers exposed to heat in confined space heater PT Nippon Shokubai Indonesia. This was an observational study with cross-sectional design. The sample was all of population (10 workers). Data was collected by measuring heat stress (WBGT), physiological responses before and after working and also questionnaire of individual factors. The result of heat stress measurement show that average of WBGT is above the Threeshold Limit Value (34,9OC) with the workload of the workers was in the heavy category (461,94 ccal) and work time category 0-25%. The result showed that the average body themperature before working was 36,73oC and after working was 38,13oC. The average pulse rate before working was 90,85 beats per minute and after working was 96,1 beats per minutes. The average systolic and diastolic blood pressure before working was 124,85 mmHg and 72,05 mmHg and the average after working was 126,05 mmHg and 72,45 mmHg. On the other hand, the average weight before working was 59,58 kg and after working was 58,3 kg. Hence, there were difference on the result of body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure and weight before and after working in CS heater.Keyword:   Heat stress, physiological response, confined spaceABSTRAKEfek dari iklim kerja panas pada respon fisiologis tenaga kerja dapat dilihat pada peningkatan suhu tubuh, denyut nadi, tekanan darah (sistolik dan diastolik) dan juga penurunan berat badan.

Prolonged or intense exposure to heat can lead to a range of health effects. This study investigated heat exposure and heat-related symptoms which sugarcane workers (90 sugarcane cutters and 93 factory workers) experienced during a harvesting season in Thailand. During the hottest month of harvesting season, wet bulb globe temperature was collected in the work environment, and workloads observed, to assess heat stress. Urine samples for dehydration test, blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature were measured pre- and post-shift to measure heat strain. Fluid intake and heat-related symptoms which subjects had experienced during the harvesting season were gathered via interviews at the end of the season. From the results, sugarcane cutters showed high risk for heat stress and strain, unlike factory workers who had low risk based on the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygiene (ACGIH) threshold limit values (TLVs) for heat stress. Dehydration was observed among sugarcane cutters and significant physiological changes including heart rate, body temperature, and systolic blood pressure occurred across the work shift. Significantly more sugarcane cutters reported experiencing heat-related symptoms including weakness/fatigue, heavy sweating, headache, rash, muscle cramp, dry mouth, dizziness, fever, dry/cracking skin, and swelling, compared to sugarcane factory workers. We conclude that the heat stress experienced by sugarcane cutters working in extremely hot environments, with high workloads, is associated with acute health effects. Preventive and control measures for heat stress are needed to reduce the risk of heat strain.

Tahajud is qiyammul lail or sunnah muakad in Islam, which is both spiritual and physical practice that integrating mind and body. Tahajud regularly has been showed the improvement of neuropsychoendocrinology sistem, relaxing muscle of breathing, and might be influencing cardiovasculae function. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of tahajud on blood pressure, pulse rate, and lung volume. Observational analytic study with cross-sectional design was conducted from June – October 2013, using direct measurement to compare calues of blood pressure, pulse rate, and lung volume (forced volume capacity – FVC and forced expiratory volume in 1 second) between tahajud and non-tahajud prayers. Fourty two male students at Bina Siswa SMA Plus Cisarua, Lembang included in this study as volunteer subjects after informed consent. The result are the mean difference for pulse rate (-2,29 ± 8,69 vs 5,38 ± 0,27; p=0,001), forced volume capacity (-0,04 ± 0,27 vs 0,37 ± 0,27; p=0,012), systolic blood pressure (-2(-22,30) vs 0(-20,30); p=0,64), diastolic blood pressure (0(-20,20) vs 0(-20,20); p=0,22), and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (2,64 ± 0,64 vs 2,23 ± 0,38; p=0,22). This study concluded that tahajud regularly provided improvement in value of cardiopulmonary system especially in pulse rate and FVC.

Pleural manometry enables the assessment of physiological abnormalities of lung mechanics associated with pleural effusion. Applying pleural manometry, we found small pleural pressure curve oscillations resembling the pulse tracing line. The aim of our study was to characterize the oscillations of pleural pressure curve (termed here as the pleural pressure pulse, PPP) and to establish their origin and potential significance. This was an observational cross-sectional study in adult patients with pleural effusion who underwent thoracentesis with pleural manometry. The pleural pressure curves recorded prior to and during fluid withdrawal were analyzed. The presence of PPP was assessed in relation to the withdrawn pleural fluid volume, lung expandability, vital and echocardiographic parameters, and pulmonary function testing. A dedicated device was developed to compare the PPP to the pulse rate. Fifty-four patients (32 women) median age 66.5 (IQR 58.5–78.7) years were included. Well visible and poorly visible pressure waves were detected in 48% and 35% of the patients, respectively. The frequency of PPP was fully concordant with the pulse rate and the peaks of the oscillations reflected the period of heart diastole. PPP was more visible in patients with a slower respiratory rate (p = 0.008), a larger amount of pleural effusion, and was associated with a better heart systolic function assessed by echocardiography (p < 0.05). This study describes a PPP, a new pleural phenomenon related to the cyclic changes in the heart chambers volume. Although the importance of PPP remains largely unknown, we hypothesize that it could be related to lung atelectasis or lower lung and visceral pleura compliance.
