Thermistor Recording of Forehead Skin Temperature as an Index of Carotid Artery Disease By MARGARET
نویسنده
چکیده
Skin temperatures were recorded from the medial upper orbital area and above the nasal, mid and lateral portions of the brows in normal subjects and in patients with suspected cerebrovascular disease. Temperatures were reduced across the brow in patients with external carotid artery disease. Temperatures were lower than normal in the orbit in patients with internal carotid artery disease except when the internal carotid circulation was severely compromised. In such patients the supraorbital temperature

Thermistor recording of forehead skin temperature as an index of carotid artery disease.
Skin temperatures were recorded from the medial upper orbital area and above the nasal, mid and lateral portions of the brows in normal subjects and in patients with suspected cerebrovascular disease.

متن کاملAn evaluation of a zero-heat-flux cutaneous thermometer in cardiac surgical patients.
BACKGROUND Although core temperature can be measured invasively, there are currently no widely available, reliable, noninvasive thermometers for its measurement. We thus compared a prototype zero-heat-flux thermometer with simultaneous measurements from a pulmonary artery catheter. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that zero-heat-flux temperatures are sufficiently accurate for routine clin...
متن کاملSkin blood pressure in the forehead in patients with internal carotid lesions.
Skin Blood Pressure in the Forehead in Patients With Internal Carotid Lesions • The skin blood pressure was measured in the forehead using a photoelectric method in 12 subjects with occlusion and 16 subjects with arteriosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid artery and compared to 18 normal subjects. The skin blood pressure was in average 37 mm Hg (SD 15) in the patients with occlusion, 44 ...

Introduction: Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) is the most preferable method for screening of carotid artery disease in patients undergoing CABG. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of carotid artery disease and determine the relation between known risk factors of atherosclerosis and rate of carotid artery narrowing in order to identify high-risk groups among patients schedu...
متن کاملA Lumped Parameter Method to Calculate the Effect of Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion on Anterior Cerebral Artery Pressure Waveform
Background and Objective: Numerical modeling of biological structures would be very helpful tool to analyze hundreds of human body phenomena and also diseases diagnosis. One physiologic phenomenon is blood circulatory system and heart hemodynamic performance that can be simulated by utilizing lumped method. In this study, we can predict hemodynamic behavior of one artery of circulatory system (...
