[The use of radiothermometry in patients with rheumatoid arthritis]
Abstract:
As a result of the work carried out, one could decide some problems: to develop standardized points of measuring temperatures of the deep structures of the joints using radiothermography, to establish for the first time the normal radiothermographic values of the temperatures for different joint groups, to recommend radiothermography as an adjuvant method for revealing early signs of the activity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associated with OA. Radiothermography is a convenient, cheap, available and an informative enough method, fit for the use in clinical practice to improve the diagnosis and treatment of RA.

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...
Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...
