Core temperature reflects the temperature of the internal organs. Proper temperature
measurement is essential to diagnose and treat temperature impairment in patients …

Cold-induced thermogenesis (CIT) is widely studied as a potential avenue to treat obesity,
but a thorough understanding of the metabolic changes driving CIT is lacking. Here, we …

The whole‐body (tachymetabolic) endothermy seen in modern birds and mammals is long
held to have evolved independently in each group, a reasonable assumption when it was …

This review is based on a multiple database survey on published literature to determine the
effects on health following voluntary exposure to cold-water immersion (CWI) in humans …
