Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) is a prototypic autoimmune disease affecting various organ systems. Hypothermia is a rare manifestation of SLE. We experienced a case of SLE combined with hypothermia. A 36-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed as SLE 3 days before admission, admitted complaining of mental confusion. After admission, her body temperature, initially 36.1 degrees C, became 32.6 ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Epidural anesthesia decreases the core temperatures triggering vasoconstriction and shivering, presumably by increasing apparent (as opposed to actual) lower-body temperature. We therefore tested the hypothesis that epidural anesthesia also increases the overall perception of warmth. METHODS We studied 8 volunteers in a randomized, cross-over protocol separated by at...

Increasing body core temperature reflexly decreases mesenteric blood flow (MBF), and the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) plays an essential role in this response. Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in temperature regulation and is concentrated within the PVN. The present study investigated whether NO in the PVN contributes to the cardiovascular responses elicited by hyperthermia. Anesthet...

Animals sense changes in ambient temperature irrespective of whether core body temperature is internally maintained (homeotherms) or subject to environmental variation (poikilotherms). Here we show that a cold-sensitive ion channel, TRPM8, displays dramatically different thermal activation ranges in frogs versus mammals or birds, consistent with variations in these species' cutaneous and core b...

conclusion a higher magnetic field strength and a decrease in the hr resulted in an increase in body temperature during the mri procedure. results our investigation of the physiological response to rf heating indicated a link between increasing age and body temperature. a higher increase in body temperature was observed in older patients after a 3.0-t mri (r = 0.07, p = 0.29 for 1.5-t mri; r = ...

this study compared the effects of anesthesia with isoflurane and tiva (total intravenous anesthesia) on the intensity of body temperature reduction during anesthesia and incidence of chills after lumbar disc surgery. the study was done as a single blinded randomized clinical trial. from 60 patients who underwent lumbar disc surgery, 30 subjects were placed in isoflurane group and 30 in the tiv...

BACKGROUND Perioperative hypothermia can develop easily during shoulder arthroscopy, because cold irrigation can directly influence core body temperature. The authors investigated whether active warming and humidification of inspired gases reduces falls in core body temperature and allows redistribution of body heat in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia. ...
