Progressive Decrease

The effects, on the body temperature of white mice, of repeated short exposures to cold were investigated using two methods of restraint. Animals held in a flattened posture became hypothermic at room temperature, cooled more than five times as fast at −10 °C as mice that could adopt a heat-conserving posture, and continued to cool for some time after they were removed from the cold. With repeated tests, cooling at room temperature decreased, and an improvement in re warming ability was observed. In addition, with lightly restrained mice, the fall in rectal temperature during cold exposure showed a progressive decrease, a phenomenon not observed with severely restrained animals.

We have studied the effects of normal aging on visual attention. Have participated a group of 38 healthy elderly people with an average age of 67.8 years and a group of 39 healthy young people with average age of 19.2 years. In a first experiment of visual detection, response times were recorded, with and without covert attention, to the presentation of stimuli (0.5º in diameter grey circles) appearing in three eccentricities (2.15, 3.83 and 5.53° of visual field) and with three levels of contrast (6, 16 and 78%). In a second experiment of visual form discrimination circles and squares with the same features as in the previous experiment were presented, but in this case subjects only should respond to the emergence of the circles. In both age groups, the covert attention reduced response times. Compared to young people, the older group achieved better results in some aspects of attention tests and response times were reduced more in the stimuli of greater eccentricity. The data suggest that there is a mechanism of adaptation in aging, in which visual attention especially favors the perception of those stimuli more difficult to detec

1. The bacterial content of the air of the Underground Railways, when the average of all results of the bacteriological investigations is taken, does not numerically compare unfavourably with the outside air of London.2. The ratio of the number of organisms growing at room temperature appears to be about 14 for railway air to 10 outside air. For those growing at body temperature the ratio is considerably higher, namely 2 to 1 respectively. The mean per litre, for room temperature organisms, is about 9 in railway air, 6·3 in the outside air; for body temperature organisms 4·6 for railway air, 2·2 for outside air.3. The bacterial content of platform air, except on the City and South London Railway, would appear to be higher than that of carriage air; the total mean for platform air being 52 and for carriage air 42·8 organisms per 5 litres, or a ratio of 16·4 and 13·5 respectively to 10 of the open air. The higher proportion in platform air is generally speaking to be accounted for by the greater amount of draught and dust disturbance.4. The ratios of the total bacterial content of railway carriage air and carriage and platform air on the six lines to open air are estimated in the following proportions:

On the issue of sudden death while swimming

Based on the experience gained with a single clinical observation, the author concludes that the sudden death of healthy young people during swimming is in some cases due to shock caused by the absorption of toxic amounts of H-substants (histamine), which are released in the overly sensitive skin due to cooling.

Ambient Hypoxia

Experiments were carried out on conscious cats to evaluate the general characteristics and modes of action of hypoxia on thermoregulation during cold stress. Intact and carotid-denervated (CD) conscious cats were exposed to ambient hypoxia (low inspired O2 fraction) or CO hypoxia in prevailing laboratory (23–25 degrees C) or cold (5–8 degrees C) environments. In the cold, both groups promptly decreased shivering and body temperature when exposed to either type of hypoxia. Small increases in CO2 concentration reinstituted shivering in both groups. At the same inspired concentration of O2, CD animals decreased shivering and body temperature more than intact cats. While this difference resulted, in part, from a lower alveolar PO2 in CD cats, a difference between intact and CD cats was apparent when the two groups were compared at the same alveolar PO2. During more prolonged hypoxia (45 min), shivering returned but did not reach normoxic levels, and body temperature tended to stabilize at a hypothermic value. Exposure to various levels of hypoxia produced graded suppression of shivering, with the result that the change in body temperature varied directly with inspired O2 concentration. Hypoxia appears to act on the central nervous system to suppress shivering and sinus nerve afferents appear to counteract this direct effect of hypoxia. In intact cats, this counteraction appears to be sufficient to maintain body temperature under hypoxic conditions at room temperature but not in the cold.
