Superficial thermal gradients during mild body cooling and its relationship to forearm blood flow.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Forearm and fingertip temperature gradients were related to simultaneously measured forearm blood flow in eleven adult subjects at rest and during a mild cold stimulus. The change in temperature gradients were converted into a percentage change of the potential capacity for heat exchange and this was found to correlate well (r = 0.73: P < 0.001) with the absolute reduction in forearm blood flow.

Methodological assessment of skin and limb blood flows in the human forearm during thermal and baroreceptor provocations.
Skin blood flow responses in the human forearm, assessed by three commonly used technologies-single-point laser-Doppler flowmetry, integrated laser-Doppler flowmetry, and laser-Doppler imaging-were compared in eight subjects during normothermic baseline, acute skin-surface cooling, and whole body heat stress (Δ internal temperature=1.0±0.2 degrees C; P<0.001). In addition, while normothermic an...
متن کاملInfluence of gravity on the skin thermal behavior: experimental study using infrared thermography
In order to better understand the thermomechanical behavior of the skin and its direct environment, we present an experimental study using infrared thermography. This experimental study aims to highlight quantitatively some effects of blood flow on the heat diffusion. The originality of this research is to change the blood flow by using effects of gravity and to quantify the temperature changes...
متن کاملVariation in median nerve nutritional artery at the distal end of forearm: case report
Background: The median nerve is one of the most important branches of the brachial plexus. Due to the role of the median nerve in sensory and motor innervation of the forearm and hand in the upper limbs, its blood supply is very important. Awareness of variations in the blood supply pattern to this nerve reduces the incidence of necrosis and ischemia of the nerve during surgical and diagnostic ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Mild Narcosis Induced by Nitrous Oxide on Thermal Balance in Humans
Clinical studies have reported that body core temperature decreases during prolonged anesthesia. Though this finding has been attributed primarily to increased heat loss resulting from exposure of body cavities and infusion of cold solutions, it is generally recognized that anesthesia possibly interferes with the thermoregulatory system. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether m...
متن کاملSkin blood flow and local temperature independently modify sweat rate during passive heat stress in humans.
Sweat rate (SR) is reduced in locally cooled skin, which may result from decreased temperature and/or parallel reductions in skin blood flow. The purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that decreased skin blood flow and decreased local temperature each independently attenuate sweating. In protocols I and II, eight subjects rested supine while wearing a water-perfused suit for the cont...
