Temperature abuse is a major factor contributing to foodborne disease; monitoring temperature history during food processing, distribution, and storage is a simple, effective means to reduce the incidence of food poisoning.
From the perspective of climate change, the interplay of transmission intensity with the evolution of drug resistance is potentially most important for epidemic malaria in highland areas at the edge of the distribution of the disease, where temperature has limited transmission in the past.
GPs recorded co morbidities (diabetes, respiratory and cardiovascular disease), body temperature and respiratory rate.
There was no difference in age, sex, underlying disease, target temperature management, and prophylactic antibiotic use between two groups.
Patients' characteristics, underlying disease, target temperature management, prophylactic antibiotic use and incidence of bacteremia during admission were recorded and analyzed retrospectively.
We emphasize that correlating seasonal variations in invasive pneumococcal disease with temperature and photoperiod provides insufficient evidence to establish a causal link.
The strongest and most geographically consistent result from this study was the positive relationship between interannual variability in the rate of human WNV disease and temperature anomalies during the winter months, particularly December and January.
We included sex, age, disease history, temperature, relative humidity and smoking status in the mixed-effects models because our MLR models without air pollutants found that these covariates were associated with PEFR.
Correlations were highly significant (Pearson's correlation coefficients all < –0.5; p<0.0001) for pneumococcal disease and temperature, with time lags ranging from 0 to 8 weeks (highest r –0.82 with a 1-week lag).
The following informations were collected: i) at treatment initiation in the hospital: age, sex, alcohol consumption, severity of underlying disease, body temperature and Glasgow coma scale (GCS [ 13]); ii) during patient stay in the hospital: CSF cell counts prior to acyclovir initiation and time period between hospital admission, lumbar puncture and acyclovir initiation.
