Passive Acoustic Thermometry of the Chest of a Person with COVID-19.

Passive acoustic thermometry (PAT) was used to study the dynamics of changes in the chest temperature of a person with COVID-19 over the course of about two and a half weeks after quarantine. PAT, which can measure deep body temperature, showed that the integral temperature of tissues surrounding the lungs increased from 32.2 ± 0.

Palliative Sedation via Intraosseous Vascular Access: A Safe and Feasible Way to Obtain a Vascular Access End of Life.

Intraosseous (IO) access is normally reserved for emergencies and critical care conditions when venous cannulation is not possible. Nonetheless, we present a case of IO insertion to a 56-year-old man, tetraplegic for many years due to progressive spinal muscular atrophy and with refractory suffering. The IO access was used for palliative sedation with propofol in a home care setting.

Physical and computer-based modeling in internal temperature reconstruction by the method of passive acoustic thermometry.

The purpose of this work was to investigate experimentally the capacity of passive acoustic thermometry (PAT) for the reconstruction of 1D, time-variable distributions of the internal temperature. Because in the PAT a noise signal is measured, a considerable integration time (about one minute) is required to attain an acceptable error level (0.5-1K).

Passive estimation of internal temperatures making use of broadband ultrasound radiated by the body.

The internal temperatures of plasticine models and the human forearm in vivo were determined, based on remote measurements of their intrinsic ultrasonic radiation. For passive detection of the thermal ultrasonic radiation an acoustic radiometer was developed, based on a broadband 0.8-3.

[Acoustic thermometry of the patient brain with traumatic brain injury].

Non-invasive deep brain acoustic thermometry is carried out for two patients at Burdenko Neurosurgery Institute. This method is based on the measurements of the own thermal acoustic radiation of the investigated object. These two patients have got the brain injury.
