The skin and esophageal temperature was investigated in 60 pregnant women on whom Cesarian section (cs) was performed. The patients were divided into four groups randomly in accordance with the type of anaesthesia. It was found that general, epidural and spinal anaesthesia during elective Cesarian section did not disturb thermal balance of the pregnant woman and parturient. The indicated types ...

Thermoregulation is one of the most vital functions of the brain, but how temperature information is converted into homeostatic responses remains unknown. Here, we use an unbiased approach for activity-dependent RNA sequencing to identify warm-sensitive neurons (WSNs) within the preoptic hypothalamus that orchestrate the homeostatic response to heat. We show that these WSNs are molecularly defi...

The recognition of fulmin ant hyperthermia and accidental hypothermia during anesthesia and surgery has given a new impetus to clinical thermometry in the operating room. It is sugges ted that in order to recognize and avoid these conditions in the anesthetized patient, a routine of continuous monitoring of body temperature be added to our armamentarium fo r patient care. One of the problems th...

HELLER, H. C., AND G. W. COLLIVER. CA’S regulation of body tembera t we during hiberna t ion. Am. J. Physiol. 227(3): 583-589. 1974.-The body temperature (Tb) of hibernating golden-mantled ground squirrels, Citellus lateralis, passively follows ambient temperature (Tft) down to some critical temperature below which metabolic heat production increases and the differential between 1‘1, and T:, in...

Global warming induces a dramatic elevation of heat-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Individual variation of heat stress vulnerability depends on various factors such as age, gender, living area and conditions, health status, and individual innate characteristics. Sasang typology is a unique form of Korean traditional medicine, which is based on the hypothesis that constitution-specif...

The increased temperature associated with climate change may have important effects on body size and predator-prey interactions. The consequences of these effects for food web structure are unclear because the relationships between temperature and aspects of food web structure such as predator-prey body-size relationships are unknown. Here, we use the largest reported dataset for marine predato...

Night time rectal temperature recordings were made from 103 infants sleeping in their own home in different sleeping positions. In most cases sleeping position was verified by video monitoring throughout the night. In the period before an adult-like night time body temperature pattern appeared there was no significant effect of sleeping position upon night time body temperature, in line with pr...

INTRODUCTION 'Ice Mile' swimming is a new discipline in open-water swimming introduced in 2009. This case study investigated changes in body core temperature during preparation for and completion of two official 'Ice Miles', defined as swimming 1.609 km in water of 5°C or colder, in one swimmer. CASE DESCRIPTION One experienced ice swimmer (56 years old, 110.2 kg body mass, 1.76 m body height...
