Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

6.1K
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...

Types of Fever

Fever can be triggered by several factors, including infections, nervous system disorders, certain cancers, blood diseases like leukemia, embolism, thrombosis, heatstroke, dehydration, surgical trauma, crushing injuries, and allergic reactions.
Here are the different types of fever:

Methods of reducing fever01:22

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.

Homeostatic Imbalances in Body Temperature01:19

Homeostatic Imbalances in Body Temperature

2.2K
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...

Muscle Recovery and Fatigue01:24

Muscle Recovery and Fatigue

3.5K
Muscle fatigue refers to the decline in a muscle's ability to maintain the force of contraction after prolonged activity. It primarily stems from changes within muscle fibers. Even before experiencing muscle fatigue, one may feel tired and have the urge to stop the activity. This response, known as central fatigue, occurs due to changes in the central nervous system, namely the brain and spinal cord. While there is no single mechanism that induces fatigue, it may serve as a protective...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Tick-Borne Illnesses
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is a significant tick-borne zoonosis caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum.
  • HGA typically presents as an acute, self-limited febrile illness.

Observation:

  • A healthy triathlete experienced recurrent fevers lasting six weeks due to HGA.
  • The study details the impact of this prolonged HGA infection on the athlete's metabolic fitness.

Findings:

  • The case highlights a prolonged clinical course of HGA, extending beyond the typical duration.
  • The athlete's metabolic fitness was monitored over a three-month period to assess the infection's effects.

Implications:

  • This case suggests HGA may have a more substantial impact on athletic performance and recovery than previously recognized.
  • Further research into prolonged HGA courses and their effects on metabolic health is warranted.
  • Clinicians should consider HGA in differential diagnoses for prolonged febrile illnesses, especially in active individuals.
