Body Temperature01:07

Body Temperature

1.4K
Body temperature reflects the equilibrium between heat production and heat loss within the body. Most heat is generated by metabolically active tissues, particularly the liver, heart, brain, kidneys, and endocrine organs. At rest, skeletal muscles contribute 20–30% of total heat production, but during vigorous exercise, this can increase up to 30–40 times.
The average body temperature is approximately 37°C (98.6°F) and typically ranges from 36.1–37.2°C...

Body Temperature

4.1K
The body's temperature, measured in degrees, is determined by the balance between heat production and dissipation to the surrounding environment. For instance, if exercising vigorously, the body will produce more heat, causing sweat and dissipating that heat. Despite extreme environmental conditions and physical exertion, the human temperature-control system maintains a constant core body temperature (the temperature of deep tissues, which are the tissues located beneath the skin and other...

Factors Affecting Body Temperature

As a nurse, it is vital to understand the factors affecting body temperature to monitor variations and effectively evaluate deviations from regular.

Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

6.5K
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...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.0K
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...

Homeostatic Imbalances in Body Temperature01:19

Homeostatic Imbalances in Body Temperature

4.3K
Hyperthermia occurs when the body's temperature becomes unusually high, often due to heat exposure, intense physical activity, or certain illnesses. This condition can create a dangerous cycle where elevated body temperature increases the metabolic rate, generating more heat and potentially leading to organ failure and brain damage. A severe form of hyperthermia, called heat stroke, can raise body temperature to life-threatening levels. Fever, on the other hand, is a controlled form of...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Physiology
  • Thermal Imaging Technology

Background:

  • Infrared thermography (IRT) is utilized for canine health assessment via surface temperature measurement.
  • The impact of diverse canine hair coats on surface temperature readings remains under-explored.
  • Understanding these variations is key for accurate non-invasive health monitoring in dogs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of different canine hair coat types on body surface temperature (BST).
  • To establish baseline BST variations across various coat characteristics in healthy dogs.
  • To inform the application of IRT in canine health diagnostics.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an infrared thermal imaging camera (FLIR B400) to capture thermal images of 50 privately-owned dogs.
  • Standardized environmental conditions (23°C ± 2.0°C) and imaging distance (0.67m ± 0.24m).
  • Analyzed mean surface temperatures from defined regions of interest (ROIs) across different coat types (short, curly, long, double).

Main Results:

  • Short coat (SC) dogs exhibited the highest BST (31.77°C ± 0.19°C), significantly higher than other groups.
  • Long coat (LC) and double coat (DC) dogs showed lower BST (28.14°C ± 0.31°C and 28.25°C ± 0.23°C, respectively).
  • Curly coat (CC) dogs displayed intermediate BST (29.85°C ± 0.33°C). No significant difference was found based on laterality.

Conclusions:

  • Canine hair coat characteristics significantly affect body surface temperature readings obtained via IRT.
  • Short-haired dogs demonstrate a notable increase in BST compared to dogs with longer or double coats.
  • These findings necessitate consideration of coat type in clinical IRT applications for canines to ensure accurate health evaluations.
