Wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a commonly used measure to predict heat strain in workers. Different combinations of environmental conditions can create equivalent WBGT, yet it remains unknown whether biophysical, physiological, and perceptual responses vary when working in different but equivalent hot conditions. The purpose of the study was to compare body heat storage and physiological and perceptual strain during walking in hot-dry and warm-wet conditions of the same WBGT.

- Cardiac tamponade (CT) has a unique presentation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and this study aimed to assess the outcomes of CT in patients with or without PH using a large inpatient database from 2016 to 2020.
- Out of 110,285 patients with CT, those with PH were generally older, more likely to be female, and had a higher incidence of coexisting conditions like hypertension and chronic heart failure.
- The study found that PH is linked to higher in-hospital mortality and complications, with patients with PH less likely to receive beneficial treatments like pericardiocentesis, despite it being associated with lower mortality rates.
The rising demand for vegetables has driven the adoption of greenhouse cultivation to guarantee high yields and quality of fresh produce year-round. Consequently, this elevates the demand for fertilizers, whose costs are progressively escalating. RGM 2450 and RGM 2529 are plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).
