Forehead or ear temperature measurement cannot replace rectal measurements, except for screening purposes
BACKGROUND Measuring rectal temperature in children is the gold standard, but ear or forehead measures are less traumatic and faster. The quality of non-invasive devices has improved but concerns remain whether they are reliable enough to substitute rectal thermometers. The aim was to evaluate in a real-life children population whether the forehead or ear temperature measurements could be used ...
متن کاملAxillary and rectal temperature measurements in infants.
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...
متن کاملHome blood pressure measurements will or will not replace 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement.
Letters to the Editor will be published, if suitable, as space permits. They should not exceed 1000 words (typed double-spaced) in length and may be subject to editing or abridgment. To the Editor: I am pleased that the protagonists in this controversy largely negate the question posed in the title by agreeing that the techniques are complementary rather than one being an alternative for the ot...
متن کاملClassical Interaction Cannot Replace Quantum Nonlocality
We present a two-player communication task that can be solved by a protocol of polylogarithmic cost in the simultaneous message passing model with classical communication and shared entanglement, but requires exponentially more communication in the classical interactive model. Our second result is a two-player nonlocality game with input length n and output of polylogarithmic length, that can b...
متن کاملOrganic agriculture cannot replace conventional agriculture
In this paper, we consider the effect of increasing the area of agricultural land under organic practises. We assumed that organic agriculture does not have effective means of pathogen control. We model pathogen dispersal with a diffusive logistic equation in which the growth/death rate is spatially heterogeneous. We find that if the ratio of the organic plots to conventional plots is below a c...
