Antipyretic materials produced by fever attack and brain.

Clinical Report—Fever and Antipyretic Use in Children

Fever in a child is one of themost common clinical symptomsmanaged by pediatricians and other health care providers and a frequent cause of parental concern. Many parents administer antipyretics even when there is minimal or no fever, because they are concerned that the child must maintain a “normal” temperature. Fever, however, is not the primary illness but is a physiologic mechanism that has...

Novel Polyimide Materials Produced by Electrospinning

Due to one-dimentional nanostructures’ unique properties and their intriguing applications, there has being a great demanding on the technologies which are able to produce such structures. Among the applicable strategies, electrospinning seems to be the simplest approach to generate continues nanofibers with ultrathin and uniform diameters (Li & Xia, 2004). Electrospinning is a spin technology ...

MR imaging artifacts produced by dental materials.

This report evaluates a variety of dental materials with respect to MR imaging artifacts and their mechanisms of production. A 0.15-T superconducting system and an MR phantom were used in assessing imaging artifacts. Several in-vivo studies were also carried out. The dental materials were analyzed for composition and magnetic permeability and the results were compared with the artifacts produce...

Artificial Fever Produced by Physical Means: Its Development and Application

Antipyretic role of endogenous melanocortins mediated by central melanocortin receptors during endotoxin-induced fever.

Bacterial infection causes fever, an adaptive but potentially self-destructive response, in the host. Also activated are counterregulatory systems such as the pituitary-adrenal axis. Antipyretic roles have also been postulated for certain endogenous central neuropeptides, including the melanocortins (alpha-MSH-related peptides). To test the hypothesis that endogenous central melanocortins have ...
