This work aimed to elucidate the primary factors which affect skin temperature. A simple thermophysical model of skin, accounts for radiative, convective, and evaporative heat losses, has been developed address it. The is based on skin’s morphology consists passive (nonviable tissue) active (viable layers. bioheat equation was solved these layers using realistic assumptions. It found that other...

PURPOSE We performed two experiments to determine whether cutaneous microvascular adaptations in response to repeated core temperature (Tc) elevation are mediated by increases in skin blood flow (SkBF) and/or skin temperature. METHODS Healthy subjects participated for 8 wk in thrice-weekly bouts of 30-min lower limb heating (40°C). In study 1, both forearms were "clamped" at basal skin temper...

Introduction: Thermography records the skin temperature, which can be influenced by: muscle mass and subcutaneous fat layer. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of subcutaneous fat layer in the skin temperature variation rate, during exercise. Methods: This is a short-longitudinal study that involved 17 healthy male trained volunteers. Volunteers were divided in two gro...

According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) and American Medical Association (AMA), the diagnostic criteria for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) require the presence of skin temperature asymmetry. In CRPS, it is generally accepted that the temperature of skin of affected limbs changes from warm to cold; however, in our clinical practice, we have experienced many...

Transdermal absorption of flurbiprofen (FP) from a cataplasm (CFP) and its antiinflammatory effect were investigated in the rat under various skin temperature conditions. As the skin temperature was raised, the plasma concentration of FP after application of the cataplasm increased significantly. It was demonstrated by a release and in vitro penetration experiment that skin penetration is the r...

Skin to skin care has been practised in primitive and high technology cultures for body temperature preservation in neonates. Regional skin temperature and heat flow was measured in moderately hypothermic term neonates to quantitate the heat transfer occurring during one hour of skin to skin care. Nine healthy newborns with a mean rectal temperature of 36.3 degrees C were placed skin to skin on...

Skin and feather characteristics, which play a critical role in body temperature maintenance, can be affected by incubation circumstances, such as incubation temperature. However, no study to date has assessed the influence of incubation temperature during the fetal stage on morphometric characteristics and vascular development of the skin, feather characteristics, and their relationship to hor...

In a series of animals being studied for motor performance after parietal area ablations (earlier communications2 with Dr. M. A. Kennard) skin temperature readings were taken from the extremities with the intention of studying these preparations further. Significant, sometimes wide, differences in skin temperature were obtained in these parietal preparations. It was decided, therefore, to explo...
