Changes in oral temperature can influence taste perception, indicating overlap among mechanisms for taste and oral somesthesis. Medullary gustatory neurons can show cosensitivity to temperature, albeit how these cells process combined taste and thermal input is poorly understood. Here, we electrophysiologically recorded orosensory responses (spikes) from 39 taste-sensitive neurons in the nucleu...

The purpose of this study was to devise and propose appropriate conditions for the photographing of thermal images in the oral cavity and to evaluate which thermography techniques can be applied to dentistry by evaluating the differences in temperature among oral tissues. Thermal images of oral cavities of 20 volunteers in normal oral condition were taken according to the guidelines of the Japa...

Ž . The low-field magneto-transport property of polycrystalline La Sr MnO LSMO thin films deposited on quartz 0.5 0.5 3 wafers by pulsed laser ablation at various temperatures is investigated. The film is of mixed amorphous and polycrystalline microstructure, depending on the depositing temperature. The low-field magneto-transport property of the thin films can be explained in terms of the two-...

BACKGROUND The mouth is the most common site for measuring temperature. Oral mucositis may affect up to 40% of patients who receive chemotherapy. Thus far, mucositis has not been studied with regard to accurate thermometry. METHODS One hundred consecutive patients (25 per group) were self-referred on the basis of perception of mucositis, temperature measurement at home, or malaise or were ref...

An experiment was conducted to determine effects of oral administration of DiakurTM (an additive of glucose and electrolytes for young calves) on growth performance and some physiological responses in male broilers reared in a high temperature. A 2 by 3 factorial arrangement test of 2 temperatures (24 and 36°C) and 3 levels of oral administration of the glucose and electrolytes additive, Diakur...

In a screening survey for hypothermia carried out amongst the elderly population of an island in the Orkneys, in which a 96 per cent response rate was obtained, oral temperatures were recorded using standard and low-reading thermometers. Out of 77 patients who entered the survey, only three had an oral temperature of 37 degrees C or higher. Six patients (eight per cent) had a temperature of 35 ...

PURPOSE The long-term stability of levetiracetam solution in oral syringes was investigated in order to define a suitable beyond-use date and demonstrate the feasibility of storing prepared syringes for extended periods as an alternative to commercial levetiracetam unit dose cups. METHODS Levetiracetam oral solution (100 mg/mL) was drawn into 1- and 10-mL amber polypropylene oral syringes. Tr...

Taste stimuli have a temperature that can stimulate thermosensitive neural machinery in the mouth during gustatory experience. Although taste and oral temperature are sometimes discussed as different oral sensory modalities, there is a body of literature that demonstrates temperature is an important component and modulator of the intensity of gustatory neural and perceptual responses. Available...

in order to investigate the combined effects of shift work and heat stress on the physiological parameters, such as heart rate (hr) and body temperature (bt), a hot-dry working environment was investigated for 53 workers in foundry workshops. in this study wet bulb globe temperature index (wbgt) was measured and along with that simultaneously heart rate and oral temperature were checked in 3 sh...
