//EVERYONE : Determine the Maximum (heat) temperature cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues can be exposed to as a function of time. Determine the Minimum ( Cold ) temperature cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues can be exposed to as a function of time. Different sources will claim different temperatures and times, please do not repeat values, please do not repeat sources - we can obtain more holistic understandings with varied results than we would with results that are always the same. We are looking for information like... ex. 1st degree frostbite occurs at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius @ 7 minutes... ex. subcutaneous tissue damage occurs when skin is heated to 40 degrees for 15 minutes. If possible try to explain how these bio-processes occur through information acquired from your research.//

//James Pellissier - Find heat maps of the body online, describe where these locations are and their average temperature. Find more research on the reaction patients under anesthesia have to therapeutic hypothermia.// //+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++// hypothermia.pdf This is a full paper on the reaction patients under anesthesia have to therapeutic hypothermia. It includes thermoregulation concepts and also thermoregulation during anesthesia. It also consists of a section dealing with the benefits and complications of hypothermia.The link following describes the relation of heat lost through the head dependent on the activity taking place. Might be something to look at, we could be partially wrong just assuming the fact that most body heat is lost through the head. I will find more dealing with where most heat is lost. http://www.healthline.com/blogs/exercise_fitness/2009/03/do-you-lose-most-of-your-heat-through.html jwv.pdf This is another paper concerning Bio-Heat Transfer. I still need to look through to see which specific equations are needed for out use, but it seems to be one the best we've got to help us for the moment.

//Holly Sanchez - Try and find research related to the effect of compression on heating and cooling, search education databases and Google for scholarly articles and look for equations or modeling that relates compression to the spread or perfusion of heat and cold through either tissue, water or some other medium of relatively similar density. Google is better, JSTOR is OK. My JSTOR username is wablib and the password is wablib. JSTOR takes patience as its search engine is a poor representation of the resources it has.//

//Roshel Vas - Venture into the wonderland of bio-heat transfer equations, search Google and databases for equations and modeling that endeavors to predict the spread or perfusion of cold as well as equations and modeling that endeavors to predict the spread or perfusion of heat. These easily become very complex modeling so develop two sets of mathematical models. I will aid you in the development of this. One model will be the complex model and another will be a simplistic modeling. What we want to do is develop at least a mild familiarity with the complex tool kit that will be set aside for next generation products. At the same time we will look for very simple methods of modeling the rate of temperature change and develop a full tool kit for temperature prediction. Once we have an idea of the capability of these models we will be able to perceive where or how they can be incorporated into the programming of the ATD. I have many PDFs that include basic and simple models, we will share and discuss these here. Holly will find them useful as well. Feel free to use my JSTOR account as well.// //++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++//

// **Normal human body temperature**, also known as //normothermia //or// euthermia//, is a concept that depends upon the place in the body at which the measurement is made, and the time of day and level of activity of the person. There is no single number that represents a normal or healthy temperature for all people under all circumstances using any place of measurement.// // Normal Body temperature : 98.6F or 37 C  //



**Fever ** A temperature setpoint is the level at which the body attempts to maintain its temperature. When the setpoint is raised, the result is a fever. Most fevers are caused by infectious disease and can be lowered, if desired, with antipyretic medications. An organism at optimum temperature is considered afebrile or apyrexic, meaning "without fever". If temperature is raised, but the setpoint is not raised, then the result is hyperthermia. **Hyperthermia ** Main article: Hyperthermia Hyperthermia occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. It is usually caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The heat-regulating mechanisms of the body eventually become overwhelmed and unable to deal effectively with the heat, causing the body temperature to climb uncontrollably. Hyperthermia at or above about 40 °C (104 °F) is a life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. Common symptoms include headache, confusion, and fatigue. If sweating has resulted in dehydration, then the affected person may have dry, red skin. In a medical setting, mild hyperthermia is commonly called heat exhaustion or heat prostration; severe hyperthermia is called heat stroke. Heat stroke may come on suddenly, but it usually follows the untreated milder stages. Treatment involves cooling and rehydrating the body; fever-reducing drugs are useless for this condition. This may be done through moving out of direct sunlight to a cooler and shaded environment, drinking water, removing clothing that might keep heat close to the body, or sitting in front of a fan. Bathing in tepid or cool water, or even just washing the face and other exposed areas of the skin, can be helpful. With fever, the body's core temperature rises to a higher temperature through the action of the part of the brain that controls the body temperature; with hyperthermia, the body temperature is raised without the consent of the heat control centers. **Hypothermia ** Main article: Hypothermia In hypothermia, body temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism and bodily functions. In humans, this is usually due to excessive exposure to cold air or water, but it can be deliberately induced as a medical treatment. Symptoms usually appear when the body's core temperature drops by 1-2 °C (1.8-3.6 °F) below normal temperature.

**Temperature Changes in Body **

**Basal body temperature ** Basal body temperature is the lowest temperature attained by the body during rest (usually during sleep). It is generally measured immediately after awakening and before any physical activity has been undertaken, although the temperature measured at that time is somewhat higher than the true basal body temperature. In women, temperature differs at various points in the menstrual cycle, and this can be used for family planning. **Core temperature ** **Core temperature **, also called **core body temperature **<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">, is the operating temperature of an organism, specifically in deep structures of the body such as the liver , in comparison to temperatures of peripheral tissues. Core temperature is normally maintained within a narrow range so that essential enzymatic reactions can occur. Significant core temperature elevation ( hyperthermia ) or depression ( hypothermia ) that is prolonged for more than a brief period of time is incompatible with human life. <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 18pt; margin: 4.8pt 0in 6pt; padding: 0px;">Temperature examination in the rectum is the traditional gold standard measurement used to estimate core temperature (oral temperature is affected by hot or cold drinks and mouth-breathing). Rectal temperature is expected to be approximately one Fahrenheit degree higher than an oral temperature taken on the same person at the same time. Ear thermometers measure eardrum temperature using infrared sensors. The blood supply to the tympanic membrane is shared with the brain. However, this method of measuring body temperature is not as accurate as rectal measurement and has a low sensitivity for fevers, missing three or four out of every ten fevers in children Ear temperature measurement may be acceptable for observing trends in body temperature but is less useful in consistently identifying fevers. Until recently, direct measurement of core body temperature required surgical insertion of a probe, so a variety of indirect methods have commonly been used. While the rectal or vaginal temperature is generally considered to give the most accurate assessment of core body temperature, particularly in hypothermia, its recording is disliked by patients and medical staff alike. In the early 2000s, ingestible thermistors in capsule form were produced, allowing the temperature inside the digestive tract to be transmitted to an external receiver; one study found that these were comparable in accuracy to rectal temperature measurement.
