Thermal sensitivity was studied in 280 type I diabetic patients and in 75 control subjects. Warm and cool thresholds, temperature sensitivity limen (difference between warm and cold thresholds, TSL), and hot and cold pain thresholds were quantitated on the skin of the index finger, hand, foot and medial calf. The diabetic group had mean values that were significantly different from controls in ...

Thermosensitive chitosan (CH)-based hydrogels prepared with a mix of sodium bicarbonate and ?-glycerophosphate as gelling agents rapidly pass from liquid at room temperature to mechanically strong solid body without any crosslinker. They show excellent potential for tissue engineering applications could be interesting candidates bioprinting. Unfortunately, since gelation is not instantaneous, f...

The simultaneous application of interlaced innocuous warm and cool stimuli (a thermal grill stimulus, TGS) can elicit sensations of burning heat (the Thermal Grill Illusion, TGI). The TGS is thought to alter the central interactions between somatosensory sub-modalities (i.e. coldinhibition of pain). Previous psychophysical findings point to body site differences in perceptual thermal thresholds...

A 10% random sample of all bathers at a public swimming bath were examined for tinea pedis and verruca.The overall incidence of tinea pedis was 8.5% and of verruca 4.8%. The incidence of tinea pedis in 205 male adults was 21.5%, in 288 boys 6.3%, in 60 adult females 3.3%, and in 220 girls 0.9%. The incidence of verruca in juveniles ranged from 4.2% in boys to 10.5% in girls.It was clear that bo...

public bathes have much importance in islamic cities, after the most significant structures like mosques and schools. there are a number of factors affecting the construction of bathes among which temperature regulation, humidity, access path, location in the urban texture, watercourses, and construction of exit paths are the most important. this study tries to make a comparative analysis of t...

People use their smartphones for everything from web browsing to tracking fitness metrics. However, it is unclear whether smartphone-based apps that use photoplethysmography to measure heart rate are an accurate or valid measure of exercise intensity. Purpose was to determine the accuracy and validity of two iOS-based heart rate monitors, Runtastic Heart Rate Monitor and Pulse Tracker PRO by Ru...
