[External and intracavitary thermometry and the temperature sensitivity of the bladder in children]
Abstract:
The authors have determined specification indices of the intracavitary temperature of the urinary bladder in children of different age, which are compared with data of "reflected" temperature from the urinary bladder onto the abdominal wall which allows objective determination and control in dynamics of the course of the inflammatory process in the urinary bladder. The thermocontrast "cold" and "hyperthermic" cystotonometry are new methods of investigation allowing to objectively determine the state of the cold and warm receptors of the urinary bladder, to detect latent neurogenic disturbances of the urinary bladder and to prognose the effectiveness of treatment of hypermotor disturbances of functions of the urinary bladder.

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
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,...
The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating...
Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...
