Cholecystokinin: possible mediator of fever and hypothermia.
Thermoregulatory effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) peptides are reviewed with special emphasis on two types of responses, that is hyperthermia (fever) and hypothermia. Central microinjection of CCK in rats induces a thermogenic response that can be attenuated by CCK-B receptor antagonists, but some authors observed a hypothermia. By contrast to its central fever-inducing effect, in rodents expos...

متن کاملChronic hypothermia following tuberculous meningitis.
A patient who developed chronic hypothermia following tuberculous meningitis is described. A central defect of thermoregulation was discovered, probably due to a discrete vascular lesion in the anterior hypothalmus.
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia following perinatal asphyxia.
Well constructed and carefully analysed trials of hypothermic neural rescue therapy for infants with neonatal encephalopathy have recently been reported. The data suggest that either selective head cooling or total body cooling reduces the combined chance of death or disability after birth asphyxia. However, as there are still unanswered questions about these treatments, many may still feel tha...
متن کاملReducing hypothermia in preterm infants following delivery.
BACKGROUND Moderate hypothermia (temperature <36°C) at birth is common in premature infants and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. METHODS A multidisciplinary practice plan was implemented to determine in premature infants <35 weeks old whether a multifaceted approach would reduce the number of inborn infants with an admitting axillary temperature <36°C by 20% without incre...
