the effect of intracerebroventricular injections of prostaglandins e2 and f2a was studied on the rectal temperature of sheep. pge2 but not pgf2a at the same dose of 50mg elevated the 1h post-injection of rectal temperature. pge2 but not pgf2a at the same dose of 100mg increased 3.5 and 2h post-injection of rectal temperature, respectively. elavation of rectal temperature following pge2 and pgf2...

conclusions in the first one hour, diclofenac suppository is able to control the fever more efficient than paracetamol suppositories. results the average rectal temperature in the paracetamol group was 39.6 ± 1.13°c, and 39.82 ± 1.07°c in the diclofenac group (p = 0.37). the average rectal temperature, one hour after the intervention, in the paracetamol and the diclofenac group was 38.39 ± 0.89...

background: the superiority of antipyretic efficacy of high dose rectal acetaminophen is not well established yet. objectives: the present study aimed to compare the antipyretic effectiveness of high loading dose (30 mg/kg) and standard dose (15mg/kg) of rectal acetaminophen in febrile children. patients and methods: this triple blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 76 patients aged ...

Temperature was measured in the left ventricle, aorta, liver, brain, lung, bone marrow, kidney, and spontaneous solid tumors in dogs undergoing whole body hyperthermia in a radiant heat device. Rectal temperature was found to be a satisfactory indicator of systemic arterial temperature during plateau temperature conditions but rectal temperature underestimated arterial temperature during heatin...

Rectal and axillary temperatures were measured during the daytime in 281 infants seen randomly at home and 656 at hospital under 6 months old, using mercury-in-glass thermometers. The normal temperature range derived from the babies at home was 36.7-37.9 degrees C for rectal temperature and 35.6-37.2 degrees C for axillary temperature. Rectal temperature was higher than axillary in 98% of the m...

In this experiment six healthy adult dairy Jersey cattles and eight calves (aged 4-6 months) were selected to measure temperature of different body skin sites, rectal temperature, respiration and heart rates during summer and winter. Body sites maximum and minimum temperature in calves during summer belonged to the ear, forehead, right flank, abdomen (38.4-38.9 ˚C) and carpus (32 ˚C). This was ...
