Infrared thermography of swine body surface temperatures and associated rectal temperatures during an acute respiratory disease challenge

Infrared Thermography of Swine Body Surface Temperatures and Associatedrectal Temperatures during an Acute Respiratory Disease Challenge

An acute Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia challenge was used to study changes in rectal and radiant surface temperatures over 18 h. From 3.5 to 15 h after challenge, rectal temperatures were elevated in challenged pigs compared to nonchallenged controls. From 6 through 18 h after challenge, infrared surface temperature was higher for challenged pigs versus control nonchallenged pigs. Correlation ...

Diurnal changes in rectal and body surface temperatures of conscious, chair-restrained rhesus macaques.

A system has been established for continuous recording of rectal and body surface temperatures in conscious, chair-restrained rhesus macaques. Diurnal changes in rectal temperature and body surface temperatures of head, back, abdomen, and inner thigh were recorded for 24 hours under conditions of intermittent or constant light. When lights were on for 8 hours (0800 to 1600 hours) and off for 16...

Body Surface and Core Temperatures of Hibernating Black Bears

Tympanic and rectal temperatures in febrile children.

(a) Tympanic membrane was taken as the site of recording temperature because it is having same arterial supply as that of hypothalamus–the thermoregulatory center. The tympanic membrane is supplied by maxillary artery and stylomastoid branch of occipital or the postauricular artery which are the branches of external carotid artery(2), whereas hypothalamus is supplied by branches of internal car...

Complete Urban Surface Temperatures

An observation program using ground and airborne thermal infrared radiometers is used to estimate the surface temperature of urban areas, taking into account the total active surface area. The authors call this the complete urban surface temperature. This temperature is not restricted by the viewing biases inherent in remote sensors used to estimate surface temperature over rough surfaces such ...
