 | This study supported the Joint Protective Aircrew Ensemble (JPACE) Program, a joint service program including U.S Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Special Forces Command participation. JPACE addresses the below-the-neck chemical and biological (CB) protective garment needs for all fixed wing and rotary wing aviation personnel and combat vehicle crew (CVC) personnel. We evaluated heat strain in volunteers during exercise-heat stress experiments conducted while they ... |

|
 | The purpose of this study was to determine the topical dose of methyl nicotinate (Mnic) that optimized skin blood flow for a 30-minute period. Methyl nicotinate is a topical vasodilator used to evaluate the integrity of skin protection compounds. Specifically, this test dose of Mnic was used to evaluate the ability of SERPACWA (Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents), a recently FDA approved topical skin protectant, to provide ... |

| FLUID REPLACEMENT is essential for enabling thermoregulation in individuals working for sustained periods in warm environments. During some military or industrial situations when individuals are encapsulated in chemical protective clothing in temperate as well as warm environments, relatively high sweating rates are elicited, often resulting in large losses of body fluids and electrolytes. For these individuals fluid intake is sometimes the only means of sustenance available. There are several physiological ... |

|
| The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of moderate hypohydration (HY) on skeletal muscle glycogen resynthesis after exhaustive exercise. On two occasions, eight males completed 2 h of intermittent cycle ergometer exercise (4 bouts of 17 min at 60% and 3 min at 80% of maximal O2 consumption/10 min rest) to reduce muscle glycogen concentrations (control values 711 + 41 micromol/g dry wt). During one trial, cycle ... |
