Temporal Changes in Skin Temperature Caused by Wet and Dry Heat in Healthy Volunteers

The Effects of Wet Heat and Dry Heat on the Gait and Feet of Healthy Adults

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of changes in gait and feet after wet heat and dry heat exposure for 20 minutes. [Subjects] The participants of this study were 17 young adult males. The subjects were divided into a wet heat group of 9 subjects and dry heat group of 8 subjects. [Methods] Dry heat was applied for 20 min. To facilitate temperature adjustment of an ele...

Spatial and Temporal Displacements in Wet and Dry Periods in the Southeast of the Caspian Sea: Golestan Province in Iran

The global warming phenomenon has had a great impact not only on the temperature patterns of the regions, but also on the spatial-temporal patterns of the occurrence of wet and dry days. As some areas have increased (decreased) the number of dry days, the result of these changes requires new approaches to water management in these areas. Golestan province in northern Iran is one of the province...

Changes in refraction caused by induction of acute hyperglycemia in healthy volunteers.

PURPOSE To determine whether the myopic changes and ocular hypotension after a glucose load are caused by hyperglycemia. METHODS Oral glucose tolerance tests were conducted on seven healthy young subjects with normal vision. The changes in the hematologic parameters and the refractive system were measured periodically for 150 minutes after the glucose load. RESULTS After the glucose load, t...

Evaluation of the effectiveness of wet ice, dry ice, and cryogenic packs in reducing skin temperature.

The purposes of this study were to evaluate and compare the ability of wet ice (WI), dry ice (DI), and cryogenic packs (CGPs) to reduce and maintain the reduction of skin temperature directly under the cooling agent and to determine whether the cooling effect on skin extended beyond the surface area in contact with the cooling agent. Ten female volunteers participated in the study, and each of ...
