Skin temperature and phototest evaluation

Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 1996
The degree of erythema following UV irradiation is known to depend upon skin temperature at the time of UV exposure. We investigated whether changes in skin temperature at the time of erythema assessment influenced the level of erythema. Twenty‐two healthy people (mean age 26 years) were irradiated with solar simulated radiation on previously UV un ...

Tactile discrimination and skin temperature

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1960
Ten subjects immersed an index finger in water at 0.75°C for 40 minutes. Two-edge threshold discrimination was tested during cooling of the finger and subsequent spontaneous rewarming due to cold vasodilatation. There was a marked deterioration of tactile discrimination at finger skin temperatures below about 8°C, although the curve showing the mean ...

Freezing temperature of finger skin

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1976
In 45 subjects, 154 frostnips of the finger were induced by cooling in air at -15 degrees C with various wind speeds. The mean supercooled skin temperature at which frostnip appeared was -9.4 degrees C. The mean skin temperature rise due to heat of fusion at ice crystallization was 5.3 degrees C.The skin temperature rose to what was termed the ...

SUBCUTANEOUS FAT AND SKIN TEMPERATURE

Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology, 1954
The subcutaneous fat explains to a large extent the individual differences, as well as the regional variations in the skin temperature, observed on the body. The insulation of the fat layer is 0.41 Clo per inch after one hour's exposure at 70° F., 1.18 at 60° F., and 1.96 at 50° F.

Measurement of facial skin temperature

Journal of Dentistry, 1990
It is essential to know the pattern of facial skin temperatures in normal subjects to be able to objectively assess differences in cases of nerve injury. Thirty healthy adults were selected at random to investigate the pattern of facial temperature using liquid crystal thermography and an electronic thermocouple system.

Skin temperature during sunbathing—relevance for skin cancer [PDF]

Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2014
It has been found that exposure to heat and infrared radiation (IR) can be carcinogenic, and that a combination of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and IR possibly amplifies carcinogenesis. To investigate how the skin temperature is affected by sunbathing, we measured the skin temperature on 20 healthy volunteers over 6 days' sun holiday in Egypt ...

Skin Temperature Biofeedback and Migraine

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 1978
SYNOPSISSkin temperature biofeedback was used in treating two groups of patients with migraine. The experimental group received true auditory feedback controlled by increases in skin temperature of their fingers, while the control group received a similar “positive” signal independent of skin temperature changes and controlled by the investigator.

Temperature-dependent skin disorders

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1988
The skin is important in preserving homeostasis between man and his environment. One main role of the skin is in thermoregulation, where cutaneous blood flow, and hence skin temperature, vary widely in order to help preserve core body temperature. Under extreme conditions, frostbite or burns may occur.

THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SKIN SURFACE

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1936
The temperature of the surface of the skin varies with the environmental temperature, with the temperature of the body and with conditions in the skin and in the structures lying beneath it. VARIATIONS IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE SKIN In a comfortable environment, the temperature of the skin surface varies in different regions of the body.

Skin temperature response to cryotherapy

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2002
To compare the localized skin-cooling effects of 2 cryotherapy modalities and to review the clinical relevance of the results.Randomized controlled trial with repeated measures.Laboratory experiment.Convenience sample of 20 volunteers (13 women, 7 men), ages 21.3 to 44 years (mean, 31.3 +/- 6.8 y).A flexible frozen gel pack, a 454 g packet of frozen ...
