Applied Physiology and Biochemistry
Published in Elizabeth Combeer, The Final FRCA Short Answer Questions, 2019
The relevance of this question to everyday practice makes the fact that it was well answered all the more pleasing. Candidates who lost marks generally did so because they did not know the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the difficulties caused by smoking. Remember that applied physiology is also part of the syllabus.
Examinations
Published in Sabina Dosani, Peter Cross, Making it in British Medicine, 2018
My advice to candidates is to be as experienced as you can. Go back to day one of medical training and read a clinical methods book. Appreciate the applied physiology. Understand what physical signs mean. A lot of junior doctors are poor at analysing them. Be observed in your clinical method by a senior doctor who is prepared to compliment or criticise. Courses can’t provide that but the consultant on your post take ward round can.’

The journal Temperature is in the top 10 journals in both Physiology and Medical Physiology, as determined by the 2022 Source-Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP)
Published in Temperature, 2023
In my last editorial about the performance of the journal Temperature [1], I wrote that the most important function of a journal is to ensure that the articles it publishes are widely used by researchers. If an article is widely used by researchers in their work, it becomes well-cited. From this point of view, the number of citations received by articles published in a certain journal can be viewed as a quality measure of the services provided by this journal to its authors and readers. I then used data from Scopus and SCImago to compare how articles published by Temperature are rewarded with citations, as compared to articles published by Temperature’s peers. Based on several criteria [1], the following group of peer journals was selected: Acta Physiologica; American Journal of Physiology – Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology; Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism; European Journal of Applied Physiology; Journal of Applied Physiology; Journal of Physiology; Pflüger’s Archiv – European Journal of Physiology; Physiological Reports; Experimental Physiology; and PLoS One.
The effect of time of day and chronotype on the relationships between mood state and performance in a Wingate test
Published in Chronobiology International, 2020
This study was approved by the University’s Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research, and it was carried out according to the Declaration of Helsinki (WHO 2013) and guidelines for this journal (Portaluppi et al. 2010). The study design is presented in Figure 1. A quasi-experimental between-groups design was used to test the hypothesis that there would be an effect of time-of-day on mood state and physical performance, that mood state and physical performance would be interrelated, and that the relationships would be influenced by participants’ morning vs. evening chronotype. During their first visit to the Applied Physiology Laboratory, potential participants were screened (see following paragraph). During their second visit, participants were weighed to the nearest 0.1 kg and familiarized with the testing equipment and procedures. On three other days, they reported to the laboratory for exercise testing. One session was scheduled at 08h00, one at 14h00, and one at 20h00, with the order determined using randomization. The time for the morning session was selected to be as early in the morning as possible, without interfering with normal sleep routines; the times were the same as those used by Facer-Childs et al. (2018). Upon arrival, body temperature and resting heart rate (HR) were measured. Then, participants completed the mood state questionnaire (described below). After this, they performed a Wingate exercise test (described below).
Papers published by the journal Temperature are cited more often than those published by more prestigious journals
Published in Temperature, 2022
I would like to add to this group four more journals, those that are shown by SCImago (an openly accessible portal of Elsevier that ranks journals using the Scopus database) as the most similar to Temperature but are not included in the group of five journals listed above. These four additional journals are: Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism (58% of publications referenced in Temperature are also referenced in this journal), European Journal of Applied Physiology (54%), Physiological Reports (52%), and Experimental Physiology (51%) (data retrieved from SCImago on December 9, 2021). I would also like to add to this group of peers PLoS One, the most prolific academic journal of all time, which publishes on all topics.
