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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 Biofeedback and Migraine

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 1978
SYNOPSIS 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

The metabolic response to skin temperature

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 1988
Experiments were done to assess that fraction of the metabolic response to external cold exposure, which is attributable to skin temperature. In 5 conscious and closely clipped goats the metabolic rate was determined at various stable levels of skin temperature in the range from 13 to 41 degrees C, while core temperature was kept constant at 38.8 ...

Skin temperature

2017
Skin surface temperature can be measured using temperature sensors, typically in the form of thermocouples or thermistors. Thermocouples are temperature sensors containing two different metals that, when heated or cooled, produce a change in electrical potential (voltage) associated with the change in temperature. In the present study, skin temperature

Reflex control of skin blood flow by skin temperature: role of core temperature

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1979
Two protocols were used to discover whether the reflex response in skin blood flow (SkBF) to rising skin temperature (Tsk) was dependent on the level of internal temperature. Part I. In five subjects, Tsk (controlled with water-perfused suits) was raised to 37 degrees C prior to, between 2 and 5 min, or between 10 and 17 min of exercise.

Effect of skin temperature on skin endothelial function assessment

Microvascular Research, 2013
Microcirculatory dysfunction plays a key role in the development of sepsis during which core temperature is often disturbed. Skin microvascular assessment using laser techniques has been suggested to evaluate microvascular dysfunction during sepsis, but skin microcirculation is also a major effector of human thermoregulation.
