Methods of reducing fever

1.4K
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.

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...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Tropical Medicine

    Background:

    • Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic skin infection prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions.
    • Current treatments for cutaneous leishmaniasis can have limitations, including side effects and variable efficacy.
    • Novel therapeutic approaches are needed to improve patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of liquid nitrogen cryotherapy for treating acute cutaneous leishmaniasis.

    Main Methods:

    • A study was conducted involving fourteen patients diagnosed with acute cutaneous leishmaniasis.
    • Treatment involved the application of liquid nitrogen to all affected skin lesions.
    • Patients were monitored for clinical and protozoological cure, adverse effects, and relapse.

    Main Results:

    • Complete clinical and protozoological cure of all lesions was observed in patients within 3-8 weeks.
    • No noticeable scarring was reported following treatment.
    • No adverse side effects were experienced by patients, and no relapses occurred within a 4-month follow-up period.

    Conclusions:

    • Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy demonstrates significant potential as a safe and effective treatment for acute cutaneous leishmaniasis.
    • The treatment offers a promising alternative with good cosmetic outcomes and sustained efficacy.
    • Further research may support the integration of cryotherapy into standard leishmaniasis treatment protocols.
