The scientific article presents the changes in cardiorespiratory parameters among the students of the Chechen Republic in the autumn and spring periods. During the examination of the students’ health, we found that as the air temperature decreases, the physiological state deteriorates (SBP, heart rate, Kerdoe's Vegetative Index increase). With an increase in ambient temperature, VC, respiration rate, Shtange and Genchi’s tests increase; according to adaptation indicators, the adaptive capacity of cardiovascular activity rises.

This report presents data on the effect of low fluctuating ambient air temperatures on the rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate in lactating Holstein-Friesian cows.Daily minimum ambient air temperature (DMAAT) inside the uninsulated University of Saskatchewan loose-housing shed ranged from −5° F. to 38° F. As ambient temperature decreased, rectal temperature and heart rate increased, while respiration rate decreased. Levels of significance were 10, 9, and 1 per cent for regressions of rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate, respectively, on DMAAT. Levels of significance were 7, 10, and 1 per cent for regressions of rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate, respectively, on degree hours per day (d-h/day). Degree hours per day is a measurement unit developed by the authors and is based on time and difference in degrees from 50° F.Change in rectal temperature and heart rate were not significantly (P = >.05) correlated with either change in d-h/day or change in DMAAT. Change in respiration rate was significantly (P = <.02) and negatively correlated with change in d-h/day and significantly (P = <.06) and positively correlated with change in DMAAT.Heart rate, rectal temperature, and respiration rate were not significantly correlated with each other. However, change in respiration rate was positively correlated with change in rectal temperature (P = <.03).While the influence of low temperatures resulted in small changes in these physiological characteristics compared to those experienced elsewhere in high temperature zones, it cannot be concluded that lactating cows were entirely free of thermal stress at temperatures as low as 0° F.

This research aimed to study the effect of microclimate modification of pensby misting and the goats breeds (Boer and Ettawa crossbreeds) on physiological responses to adapt to the hot  environments. The study was conducted from August-September 2018 at the UPTD Goat Breeding Center, Lampung Plantation and Livestock Service Office located in Negeri Sakti, Pesawaran Regency. The study used a split plot design in completely randomized design. Two treatments were applied in this study, namely modification of the pen consisting of pens without misting and pens with misting and the goat breed namely Boerawa and Ettawa crossbreed (PE). Twelve female goats were used in this study, each of six Boerawa and PE respectively. The parameters observed were microclimate conditions, namely air temperature,relative humidity, and Temperature Humidity Index (THI) and physiological responses consisted of respiration rate, heart rate, rectal temperature, and Heat Tolerance Coefficient (HTC). The results showed that there was no effect of the interaction between the treatment of misting and the breeds of goat on respiration rate, heart rate, rectal temperature, and HTC. Misting can improve air temperature, THI, respiration rate and HTC, on the other hand, does not affect the heart rate and rectal temperature. Goat breed has no effect on all physiological responses. Thus, modification of the microclimate by misting effectively maintains body temperature under normal conditions and increases the adaptability of goats to hot environments. Keywords: Physiological Responses, Microclimate Conditions, Microclimate Modification, Misting

The present study aimed to evaluate some physiological variables of thin tailed sheep and Garutsheep fed by concentrate and mung bean sprout waste diet. The physiological variables includedrectal temperature, respiration rate, and heart rate. Six Javanese thin tailed sheeps (16.27±0.86kg) and six Garut sheeps (10.68±1.82 kg) which aged less a year were selected for 4 treatments byfactorial design 2 x 2. The first factor was diet (concentrate and bean sprout waste) and the secondfactor was kind of sheep (Javanese thin tailed sheep and Garut sheep). The sheep were fedindividually for a maintenance requirement on body weight. Ambient temperature, relativehumidity, and physiological variables were measured every morning before feeding during 8weeks. The result showed that the physiological response of Javanese thin tailed sheep and Garutsheep fed by concentrate and mung bean sprout waste diet showed no interaction (P>0.05). Thephysiological response of sheep was not significantly different but the feed treatments had asignificant effect (P>0.05). Rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate were still classifiedas normal so the mung bean sprout waste diet can be used as an alternative source of protein tosubstitute concentrate.

Etawah grade does were kept in different environment. Current research was conducted to compare the thermoregulatory response of Etawah grade goat which were kept at 200, 400 and 600 m asl. Measured environmental factors were temperature (Ta), relative humidity (Rh), and air velocity (Va) were measured for 12 hours from 06.00 am to 06.00 pm. Thermoregulatory response included rectal temperature (Tr), respiration rate (Rr) and heart rate (Hr) were measured every day at 6 am, 12 am and 6 pm. Data obtained were analyzed statistically using independent two-sample T-Test and regression analysis. The results showed different altitude 200, 400 and 600 m asl significantly affected (P<0.05) ambient temperature, which were average 30,16±2,88; 27,73±2,45 and 26,63±2,91; respectively. Otherwise, different altitude did not affect humidity and air velocity. Altitude significantly affected (P<0.05) rectal temperature and heart rate, but did not affect respiration rate. Etawah grade goat were comfortable to kept in 400 m asl.

Six adult white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus borealis) were exposed to 165 periods of 12 consecutive hours of controlled constant ambient temperature in an indirect respiration calorimeter. Temperatures among periods varied from 38 to 0 (summer) or to −20C (fall, winter, spring). Traits measured were energy expenditure (metabolic rate), proportion of time spent standing, heart rate, and body temperature, the latter two using telemetry. The deer used body posture extensively as a means of maintaining body energy equilibrium. Energy expenditure was increased at low ambient temperature to combat cold and to maintain relatively constant body temperature. Changes in heart rate paralleled changes in energy expenditure. In a limited number of comparisons, slight wind chill was combatted through behavioral means with no effect on energy expenditure. The reaction of deer to varying ambient temperatures was not the same in all seasons of the year.

During satellite tagging of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), heart rate, respiration rate and cortisol value were measured to evaluate stress effects during handling and tagging. Respiration rates were obtained using video recordings, heart rates were recorded and serum cortisol levels were analysed from blood samples. Differences in heart rates, respiration rates and cortisol levels before and during the tagging events were investigated. An overall significant decrease of 31.5% in respiration rate was found during the tagging event period, while mature porpoises respired significantly more often than immature individuals. Though significant differences in heart rates were found for some individuals, no general significant change for all animals was detected. We found no correlation between cortisol concentration and either heart rate or respiration rate, nor did we find any relationships between cortisol and month of year, sex and body length. As high individual variations occurred in response to tagging of harbour porpoises, it is not possible to give general advice based on the factors investigated, on how to reduce stress during handling. However, pouring water over the animal and lowering it into the water seem to stabilize a stressed animal. Therefore, general precaution and individual judgement based on experience is essential when handling wild harbour porpoises.

The physiological rates of a normally omnivorous marine rotifer, Encentrum linnhei, were measured under the steady-state chemostat conditions in which the physiological state of the food-algae was kept constant whilst the rotifer growth rate was changed to preset levels. The specific clearance rate ranged between 50 and 100 μl/μg rotifer C/day (1.5–3.0 μ/rot/day) and varied hyperbolically with growth rate, a similar curve was obtained with the specific ingestion rate which varied between 1–2 μg C/μg rot C/day. A mean respiration rate of 0.45 μg C/μg rot C/day was obtained from oxygen consumption measurements. About 60‰ of ingested energy was found to be egested as paniculate matter and 9–4 °0 dissipated as heat, the latter comparing with a theoretical figure of 4–5‰.From rates, transfer efficiencies were obtained giving a mean net growth efficiency (K2) of 38‰ and a mean overall growth efficiency (K1 of 15‰. A curvilinear increase of Kl with growth rate contrasts with linear and hyperbolic responses found with brachionid rotifers.

AbstractThe surface temperature of eight Royal Marine recruits was monitored in the field during Autumn training on Dartmoor (minimum air temperature 4.5°C). The lowest skin temperature recorded was 6.1°C. One subject experienced a toe temperature below 10° for 5.5 hours and below 15°C for 12.6 hours during a 24 hour recording period. Ambient temperature and inactivity during exposure to cold were the main factors associated with low toe temperatures but individual responses varied widely.

BACKGROUND: Treatment therapy with antibiotics is one of the factors supporting success in the treatment of sepsis. AIM: This study aims to evaluate the use of antibiotics in patients with sepsis using parameters of the day of decline in body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, changes in consciousness status, and comorbid factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The design of this study is pilot study with a retrospective approach on sample of 14 sepsis patients who met the inclusion criteria. Descriptive analysis using the univariate method for see changes in levels of body temperature, length of stay, respiration rate, heart rate, comorbid factors, and changes in the consciousness status. RESULTS: The results showed an average value for decline of body temperature after using antibiotics with a baseline of 38.47°C–37.87°C, heart rate shows the average value from baseline heart rate after using antibiotics from baseline of 110.8 bpm to 88.4 bpm, the respiration rate shows the average value for the respiration rate after using antibiotics from baseline of 30.8 x/min to 22.1 x/min, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score showed an average value after using antibiotics from baseline 9 to 7, on comorbid factors showing six patients with one comorbid and eight patients with more than 1 comorbid factor. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that body temperature is still in the category of fever, heart rate, and respiration rate which are the normal category, patient consciousness is still at the level of somnolence even though patient’s GCS score has decreased, and patients with one factor of comorbidities are faster in death because they have a fatal type of comorbid such as acute of hepatitis, coma hepaticum, and acute kidney injury.
