1. Measurement and evaluation of body temperature : Implications for clinical practice
Sammanfattning : The general aim was to explore factors influencing the normal variation and measurement of body temperature. Additional aims were to study morbidity, mortality and the clinical presentation of pneumonia and predictors for survival in elderly nursing-home residents. LÄS MER
2. Human responses to cold and wind
Sammanfattning : Cold is stressful for the human being and has physical, subjective and physiological effects. Body cooling must be prevented to provide for the worker's comfort and safety in cold workplaces. LÄS MER
3. On neonatal asphyxia : clinical and animal studies including development of a simple, safe method for therapeutic hypothermia with global applicability
Sammanfattning : Recent randomized clinical trials show that hypothermia can decrease brain dysfunction in newborn infants at risk for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. One goal of the present study was to develop an alternative to current relatively complex and expensive cooling methods dependent on electricity and continuous water supply. LÄS MER
4. Thin-fibre signalling in humans: Cortical processing of sensory afference and autonomic efference
Sammanfattning : Thin nerve fibres innervate the entire human body and mediate sensations such as pain, temperature and visceral sensory input. Moreover, a special class of unmyelinated afferents responsive to light touch has recently been found in humans: C-tactile (CT) fibres. LÄS MER
5. Amino acid-induced thermogenesis during anaesthesia
Sammanfattning : General anaesthesia causes hypothermia due to decreased metabolic rate and impaired thermoregulation. Adverse effects of hypothermia are coagulation disorders, wound infection, ischemic cardiac events and postoperative shivering. LÄS MER
