Decreased Body Temperature01:29

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...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

4.9K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Frost Action on Concrete01:27

Frost Action on Concrete

518
Concrete structures in cold climates, such as those along roadsides, can retain moisture. This moisture makes them susceptible to frost-related damage when temperatures fall below freezing. Adding moisture worsens the damage during temperature fluctuations, leading to repeated freezing and thawing. De-icing salts, spread over these structures to melt ice, add to the freeze-thaw cycle, and draw even more moisture into the concrete.
This freeze-thaw cycle primarily causes surface scaling, where...

Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

7.6K
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...

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress02:45

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

15.6K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Neurology
    • Physical Therapy

    Background:

    • Cryotherapy is a common, affordable treatment for acute athletic injuries.
    • Prolonged or improper application of cold therapy poses a risk of peripheral nerve injury.
    • Athletes with less subcutaneous fat are more susceptible to cold-induced nerve damage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report cases of peripheral nerve injury resulting from cryotherapy in athletes.
    • To identify risk factors and preventative measures for cryotherapy-induced nerve damage.
    • To emphasize safe cryotherapy protocols in sports medicine.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series reporting six instances of peripheral nerve injury.
    • Clinical observation of injury presentation and resolution.
    • Review of cryotherapy application parameters and patient characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Six athletes developed peripheral nerve injury following cryotherapy.
    • All reported cases showed spontaneous resolution within six months.
    • Subcutaneous fat thickness, treatment duration, and insulation were identified as key factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Cryotherapy is a valuable tool but requires cautious application to prevent nerve injury.
    • Implementing protective measures like insulation and limiting treatment duration is crucial.
    • Awareness of patient-specific factors, such as body fat, can mitigate risks associated with cryotherapy.
