Decreased Body Temperature

1.1K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment

3.2K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cooling garments improved multiple sclerosis symptoms like fatigue and muscle weakness. Active cooling reduced nitric oxide production, potentially aiding nerve signal conduction in demyelinated axons.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease affecting nerve signal conduction.
  • Heat sensitivity exacerbates MS symptoms, impacting fatigue, balance, and strength.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of active cooling on heat-sensitive patients with MS.
  • To explore the physiological mechanisms, including nitric oxide (NO) production, underlying cooling's impact.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized cross-over study involving ten heat-sensitive MS patients.
  • Comparison of active cooling (7°C) versus sham cooling (26°C) for 60 minutes.
  • Assessment of fatigue, postural stability, muscle strength, tympanic temperature, and leukocyte nitric oxide (NO) production.

Main Results:

  • Active cooling significantly improved fatigue, postural stability (eyes closed), and muscle strength compared to sham cooling.
  • No significant change in tympanic temperature was observed.
  • Active cooling led to a 41% decrease in mean leukocyte nitric oxide (NO) production (p = 0.004).

Conclusions:

  • Cooling garments offer a potential therapeutic benefit for managing heat-sensitive MS symptoms.
  • The reduction in nitric oxide (NO) production by active cooling may be a key mechanism for improving nerve conduction in demyelinated axons.
  • Further research into NO's role in MS pathophysiology and cooling interventions is warranted.
