Increased Body Temperature

6.3K
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Methods of reducing fever

The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

7.5K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Oncology
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Hyperthermia and thermoablation are promising cancer treatments.
  • Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) offers uniform heating for deep tumors.
  • Current MFH techniques suffer from unwanted heating of healthy tissues due to magnetic fluid diffusion or mislocalization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a focused hyperthermia system to precisely control heat localization in MFH.
  • To mitigate the risk of damaging healthy tissues adjacent to tumors during MFH treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a focused hyperthermia system using superimposed static (dc) magnetic field gradients and alternating (ac) magnetic fields.
  • Utilized dc and ac coils to generate and control the magnetic fields for focused particle heating.
  • Conducted in vitro experiments measuring specific absorption rate (SAR) and in vivo experiments on rats to assess burned volume.

Main Results:

  • In vitro experiments demonstrated precise heat focusing; increasing dc current reduced SAR in surrounding areas while maintaining central SAR.
  • In vivo experiments showed a significant decrease in burned tissue volume (from 1.6 to 0.2 cm3) with increased dc solenoid current, confirming heat localization.
  • The system allows for adjustable heat focus by altering dc solenoid currents.

Conclusions:

  • The developed focused hyperthermia system effectively localizes heat, significantly reducing off-target tissue damage.
  • This advancement makes MFH a more precise and effective cancer treatment modality.
  • The ability to focus heat precisely enhances the safety and efficacy of MFH.
