Comparability of tympanic and oral mercury thermometers at high ambient temperatures

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Body temperature can be measured in seconds with tympanic thermometers as opposed to minutes with mercury ones. The aim of this study was to compare tympanic and oral mercury thermometer measurements under high ambient field temperatures ...

A comparison of tympanic and rectal temperatures in term NIGERIAN neonates

BMC Pediatrics, 2012
Background Tympanic thermometry has come as a suitable alternative to traditional thermometry because of its safety and ease of use. However, it is still yet to gain wide acceptance in African settings due to conflicting results on its accuracy, thus ...

Pharmacokinetics and Safety of 1 mg Oral Minoxidil Tablets in Healthy Female Volunteers: A Phase I Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Topical minoxidil is a first‐line treatment for female androgenetic alopecia (FAGA); however, its twice‐daily application, potential for scalp irritation and impact on hair texture can compromise adherence. Although low‐dose oral minoxidil has emerged as a promising alternative, standardized formulations with well‐characterized ...

Protection of the brain against heat damage

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014
In homeothermic animals, metabolic heat production in the brain is higher than in other tissues. However, cerebral tissue is susceptible to heat. Several animals have mechanisms that selectively cool the brain during hyperthermia (i.e., selective brain ...

Re-visiting the tympanic membrane vicinity as core body temperature measurement site. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Core body temperature (CBT) is an important and commonly used indicator of human health and endurance performance. A rise in baseline CBT can be attributed to an onset of flu, infection or even thermoregulatory failure when it becomes excessive.

Home and away: allometry and climate drive morphology of European rabbits in their native and introduced range

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations
