In this study, infrared thermography (IRT) was assessed as a means of detecting the changes in body temperature in rabbit coccidiosis, as well as determining IRT used in imaging and measuring the regional changes in skin temperature that occur in the rabbits during this infection. Rabbits were inoculated with 5 x 10(4) or 1 x 10(5) oocysts of Eimeria intestinalis, respectively. The group of con...

Both epidural and general anesthesia can impair thermoregulatory mechanisms during surgery. However, there is lack of information about the effects of different methods of anesthesia on newborn temperature. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are differences in newborn rectal temperature related to type of anesthesia. Sixty-three pregnant women were randomly assigned to rec...

The rectal temperature of 8 marmosets was taken regularly throughout a 76 hour period. A pronounced circadian rhythm was detected: body temperature reached a maximum during the light phase and a minimum during the dark phase.

A study of core temperature monitoring during general anesthesia indicates that this can be introduced as a routine procedure in order to reduce mortality from malignant hyperpyrexia. The temperature profiles of 2410 patients are presented. Both mean rectal and mean oesophageal temperatures decreased during general anaesthesia. The mean oesophageal temperatures were on average 0.6 degrees C les...

background: in order to improve the evaluation of possible rectal toxicity based on the rectal normal tissue complication probability (ntcp), we consider the fractional dependence of the ntcp on the wall thickness (tw) and rectal displacement (rm). materials and methods: the two-dimensional ntcp model (ntcp2d) was developed using radiotherapy plans of ten randomly selected patients with prostat...

The rectal temperature obtained using a standard electronic thermometer was compared with ear, back skin, tail skin, and sole skin temperatures obtained using an infrared thermometer in B6C3F1 mice. Using both methods, we investigated baseline temperatures, diurnal and 2-week variations in temperatures, and ethanol-induced hypothermia in these body locations. Ear and back temperatures were show...

BACKGROUND Maintaining normothermia during off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery is difficult. The purpose of the present study is to determine the effect of the Inditherm Patient Warming System (IPWS) with standard institutional care during OPCAB surgery. METHODS A control cohort of 10 patients undergoing OPCAB surgery received standard conventional therapy. A study cohort of anoth...

OBJECTIVE We retrospectively performed a comparative analysis of temperature measurement sites during surgical repair of the thoracic aorta. METHODS Between January 2004 and May 2006, 22 patients (mean age: 63 ± 12 years) underwent operations on the thoracic aorta with arterial cannulation of the aortic arch concavity and selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) during deep hypothermic ci...
