Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery01:19

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.  
Step 3: Assess the patient's forehead...
Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature01:13

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
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,...

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Reduced temporal processing speed is a significant indicator of neural age-related loss and disease.
    • Accurate and practical measurement of temporal processing abilities is crucial for assessing visual function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a practical tabletop device for measuring the full range of an individual's temporal processing abilities, specifically the temporal contrast sensitivity function (TCSF).
    • To assess the relationship between age and TCSF across a wide age range.

    Main Methods:

    • A tabletop device using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was developed to measure TCSF.
    • Seventy subjects aged 15-84 years were tested using the device.
    • The device presented a 1-degree test stimulus centered within a surround, with adjustable modulation depth.

    Main Results:

    • The TCSF measurements showed a shape consistent with previous studies, peaking around 8 Hz.
    • The largest age-related decline in TCSF was observed at higher frequencies and in the central fovea.
    • A significant correlation was found between age and decline at higher frequencies (r = 0.47, p<0.0001), indicating approximately 2 Hz decline per decade.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychophysical assessment of temporal vision using this device provides an easy and dynamic measure of central visual function.
    • The developed device is a practical tool for evaluating age-related changes in visual processing.
    • This method can aid in the early detection of neural age-related loss and disease.
