Bilateral skin temperature, handedness, and the biofeedback control of skin temperature
Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 1996There are differences in physiological variables when they are recorded from the left and right side of the body simultaneously. In some cases, handedness has been found to have a significant relationship to bilateral differences. The present study examined the relationship between handedness and baseline heart rate and skin temperature, as well as ...

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1979
A probe which is capable of applying known, controlled pressures to the skin, and measuring the subsequent tissue deflections and skin surface temperatures has been designed and tested. This paper describes the design of the probe, with emphasis on the thermal aspects.

Skin Temperature and Energy Expenditure
Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, 1990The value of mean skin temperature as an estimate of energy expenditure was verified in a sample of 10 normal-weight adult male subjects. Measurements were carried out with thermometric probes under conditions of rest and environmental thermoneutrality. Total heat losses were then calculated through a computerized complex mathematical formula.

Skin temperature during sunbathing—relevance for skin cancer
Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2014It 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 ...

Freezing temperature of finger skin
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1976In 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 ...

Tactile discrimination and skin temperature
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1960Ten 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 ...

Skin temperature and phototest evaluation
Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 1996The 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 ...

Skin Temperature Biofeedback and Migraine
Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 1978SYNOPSIS Skin 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

Measurement of facial skin temperature
Journal of Dentistry, 1990It 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.

Digital Skin Temperature and Biofeedback
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1994The present study simultaneously compared the skin temperature of the index and the little fingers during hand warming using biofeedback. There was a 5-min. baseline recording followed by a 10-min. session during which subjects attempted to increase skin temperature using the index finger with biofeedback in the form of lights and sound.
