The aim of this study was to see if a short-term period of exposure to cold in young healthy
subjects causes changes in hematological factors known to be associated with the …

Throughout Europe, including Norway, increased winter mortality from cardiovascular
diseases (CVD) is well described. However, while there are associations between high CVD …

To clarify the mechanism for cold-related thrombosis, we evaluated responses of blood
pressure, platelet function, and sympathetic nervous activity after cold exposure in t en …

Background. In this study we have investigated the effect of cold exposure on young healthy
subjects, with particular emphasis on the hematological system. Study design. The lightly …

Background and Objective Air temperature changes are associated with increased
cardiovascular and respiratory risk, but the roles of inflammatory and coagulation markers …

Epidemiological studies have shown an increase in acute myocardial infarctions or deaths
due to myocardial infarction in colder weather; the mechanisms most likely involve …

1. Six elderly (66-71 years) and six young (20-23 years) subjects (half of each group
women) were cooled for 2 h in moving air at 18° C to investigate possible causes of …

To evaluate the effect of cold-induced stress on renal and hepatic blood flow and
coagulation parameters, rabbits' soles were exposed to ice pad (0° C). Renal and hepatic …

Objectives Changes in air temperature are associated with an increase in cardiovascular
events, but the role of procoagulant and proinflammatory blood markers is still poorly …

Epidemiologic studies have shown increased rates of myocardial infarction after upper
respiratory tract infections. We hypothesized that changes in platelet activation and reactivity …
