Continuous recordings of rectal temperature were made from 40 normal infants, aged 3-4 months, at home during two days of normal activities. We found that the rectal temperature of a normal, healthy baby may vary from 36.0 degrees C at night to 37.8 degrees C during active periods of the day. During daytime sleep rectal temperature fell, but to a lesser extent, and for less time than during nig...

Figure 1. Host responses to intravenous injection in 5 healthy subjects of 0.4 ng/kg body weight (Ⅺ) or 0.8 ng/kg body weight (Ⅵ) S. abortus equi endotoxin. For all variables, mean differences between endotoxin and placebo conditions at every time point are depicted. of mean. For description of results and for statistics, see Bars ϭ SE text. To the Editor—We read with interest the recent paper ...

A study of intracardiac and intravascular temperatures was undertaken with the thought that such measurements might provide further information concerning the mechanisms which normally maintain body temperature within its narrow limits and also that they might help to explain the deviations from normal temperature in certain disease states. Whereas the temperature of the peripheral tissues may ...

In the continuous gas lift operation, compressed gas is injected into the lower section of tubing through annulus. The produced liquid flow rate is a function of gas injection rate and injection depth. All the equations to determine depth of injection assumes constant density for gas based on an average temperature of surface and bottomhole that decreases the accuracy of gas lift design. Also g...

BACKGROUND Fever is the most common complaint in pediatric medicine and its treatment is recommended in some situations. Paracetamol is the most common antipyretic drug, which has serious side effects such as toxicity along with its positive effects. Diclofenac is one of the strongest non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs, which has received little attention as an antipyretic drug. OB...

BACKGROUND Tympanic thermometry has come as a suitable alternative to traditional thermometry because of its safety and ease of use. However, it is still yet to gain wide acceptance in African settings due to conflicting results on its accuracy, thus rectal thermometry remains the gold standard in the newborn. The aim of this study was to compare tympanic and rectal temperatures in term Nigeria...

introduction nowadays, due to higher environmental pollution and decreasing fossil fuels many countries make decisions to use renewable fuels and restrict using of fossil fuels. renewable fuels generally produce from biological sources. biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel derived from the transesterification of vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste frying oils. considering the differences be...

This study compares the use of traditional rectal thermometry with an implantable microchip temperature transponder in cats. The microchip transponder was implanted over the shoulder blades and was programmed with cat identification information. Concurrently, the cats were involved in a study in which they were infected experimentally with feline herpesvirus 1; this situation enabled temperatur...
