Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an important role in thermoregulation in rodents. Its role in temperature homeostasis in people is less studied. To this end, we recruited 18 men [8 subjects with no/minimal BAT activity (BAT-) and 10 with pronounced BAT activity (BAT+)]. Each volunteer participated in a 6 h, individualized, non-shivering cold exposure protocol. BAT was quantified using positron...

OBJECTIVES: Our purpose was to determine the incidence and etiology of hypothermia during laparoscopic surgery and to evaluate the role of irrigation fluid temperature. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective randomized study was performed of 35 women undergoing operative laparoscopy under general anesthesia who received surgical irrigation fluid either at ambient temperature or warmed to 39 ° (3. The core...

The induction of psychological stress in rats is accompanied by an elevation of core temperature. Our experiments were carried out to determine whether the latency, duration, magnitude, or effector mechanisms of the core temperature response to psychological stress would be altered when rats were allowed to use behavioral as well as autonomic thermoregulation. Core temperature, oxygen consumpti...

The structure of solvent-free oligomer-grafted nanoparticles has been investigated using molecular dynamics simulations and density-functional theory. At low temperatures and moderate to high oligomer lengths, the qualitative features of the core particle pair probability, structure factor, and the oligomer brush configuration obtained from the simulations can be explained by a density-function...

Real-time detection of basic physiological parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate is an important target in wearable smart devices for healthcare. Among these, the core body temperature is one of the most important basic medical indicators of fever, insomnia, fatigue, metabolic functionality, and depression. However, traditional wearable temperature sensors are based upon the measurem...

Prolonged severe exercise stresses the cardiovascular system with the need to address the competing demands of blood flow to both the exercising muscles and the skin, while maintaining arterial blood pressure for adequate blood flow to the brain. With the imposition of an environmental heat load in addition to a high metabolic heat load, core temperature steadily increases along with a number o...

Task scheduling for multicore processors typically has aimed at higher throughput and lower power consumption, but the lifetime reliability may be harmed if negative bias temperature instability is not considered together. In this letter, a task scheduling which extends lifetime is proposed. Cores are given the chance to recover as long as performance is not degraded. The degradation simulator ...

In non-febrile mouse models, high dose acetaminophen administration causes profound hypothermia. However, this potentially hazardous side-effect has not been confirmed in non-febrile humans. Thus, we sought to ascertain whether an acute therapeutic dose (20 mg⋅kg lean body mass) of acetaminophen would reduce non-febrile human core temperature in a sub-neutral environment. Ten apparently healthy...
