This study aims to assess the accuracy and reliability of two different types of thermometers: contact thermometers (CT) and non-contact thermometers (NCIRT) at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. The comparison method was carried out in a hospital laboratory setting and followed a specific calibration procedure. The mean readings, errors, and meas...

Background In modern society, achieving high-quality sleep is increasingly challenging. We conducted a study to explore the potential benefits of daytime physical activity and balneotherapy, including mud application and thermal-water bathing, on sleep quality. Methods To assess daytime physical activity and sleep parameters, we actigraphically mon...

Therapeutic hypothermia and temperature management
Targeted temperature management (TTM) has been proposed to reduce mortality and improve neurological outcomes in postcardiac arrest and other critically ill patients. TTM implementation may vary considerably among hospitals, and "high-quality TTM" definitions are inconsistent. This systematic literature review in relevant critical care conditions e...

Currently, the using of tannins as secondary metabolites and active compounds is rising in animal production. The functions of tannins especially extracted from chestnut wood, namely Saviotan Feed (SF) in poultry, especially in Ulu chickens, have not yet been fully determined. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of orally administered...

Heterothermy is considered to be the most effective energy-saving strategy improving survival under natural conditions. Interspecific studies suggest that this strategy is also associated with reduced reproductive output. Yet little is known about the reproductive consequences of heterothermy use at the intraspecific level and thus its repercussion...

Risk of exertional heat stroke (EHS) is an ongoing challenge for United States military personnel, for athletes and for individuals with occupational stressors that involve prolonged activity in hot environments. Higher body mass index (BMI) is significantly associated with increased risk for EHS in activity duty U.S. Soldiers. During exercise, hea...

Therapeutic hypothermia and temperature management
Although most commonly associated with infection, elevated temperature and fever also occur in a variety of critically ill populations. Prior studies have suggested that fever and elevated temperature may be detrimental to critically ill patients and can lead to poor outcomes, but the evidence surrounding the association of fever with outcomes is r...

Background: The importance of thyroid hormones (THs) for peripheral body temperature regulation has been long recognized, as medical conditions such as hyper- and hypothyroidism lead to alterations in body temperature and energy metabolism. In the past decade, the brain actions of THs and their respective nuclear receptors, thyroid hormone receptor...

Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is an irritant contact dermatitis from prolonged contact with urine or faeces, which can significantly impact patient comfort and quality of life. The identification of prognostic factors for the development of IAD has the potential to enhance management, support preventive measures and guide future research...
