OBJECTIVE To evaluate critically Carl Wunderlich's axioms on clinical thermometry. DESIGN Descriptive analysis of baseline oral temperature data from volunteers participating in Shigella vaccine trials conducted at the University of Maryland Center for Vaccine Development, Baltimore. SETTING Inpatient clinical research unit. PARTICIPANTS One hundred forty-eight healthy men and women aged ...

Intra-uterine and oral temperatures were recorded in 23 patients with fetal tachycardia during labour, as well as in 22 patients without fetal tachycardia. In the tachycardia group, the mean intra-uterine temperature was 38,83 degrees C, against 37,44 degrees C in the control group. The oral temperatures were 38,05 degrees C and 33,98 degrees C respectively. Furthermore, a high incidence of neo...

1. Nailfold capillary pressure, digital blood flow and skin temperature have been measured on days 7, 14, 21 and 28 of the menstrual cycle in 10 women on a combined oral contraceptive pill and 10 control subjects with normal menstrual cycles. 2. Capillary pressure and digital blood flow were statistically significantly higher in the group taking an oral contraceptive pill compared with control ...

Dental implants provide a continuous interface between the oral environment and the deep core structures of the jaws. Implants and trans-mucosal superstructures are primarily metal and heat conduction occurs readily. A hypothetical heat conduction model is investigated to determine the ranges of temperature gradients that might occur in implants. This model showed that a 60 degrees C heat sourc...

statement of problem: physiologic pigmentation of oral mucosa is considered as a prevalent entity among black people and those having relatively dark skin. gingival physiologic pigmentation may cause problems for some patients specially ladies as far as esthetics is concerned. to overcome the issue, the surgery might be suggested which can cause some problems due to its side effects. cryotherap...

The primary hypothesis of the upcoming NIH-sponsored phase III infant hydroxyurea (BABY HUG) trial is that hydroxyurea can prevent chronic organ damage in infants with sickle cell anemia. Since hydroxyurea is currently commercially available only in capsules, a liquid formulation of hydroxyurea is needed for young patients. Hydroxyurea oral solutions were prepared by dissolving the contents of ...

OBJECTIVE To compare a dose of oral and rectal acetaminophen and to evaluate acceptability of rectal acetaminophen, since oral and rectal acetaminophen is widely used as an antipyretic agent in febrile children and the comparative effectiveness of these two preparations is not well established. METHODS In this prospective parallel group designed study, 60 children who presented to the emergen...

The purpose of this article is to examine the applicability of Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) index as an innovative index for evaluating of occupational heat stress in outdoor environments. 175 workers of 12 open-pit mines in Tehran, Iran were selected for this research study. First, the environmental variables such as air temperature, wet-bulb temperature, globe temperature, relative ...
