Non-contact monitoring of agitation and use of a sheltering device in patients with dementia in emergency departments: a feasibility study.

Background: Agitation is common in geriatric patients with cognitive impairment, e.g. in persons with dementia (PWD), who are admitted to an emergency department (ED).

[Results of no-contact measurement of surface temperature in swine].

Reported in this paper are results obtained from four measurement series on 353 sows, differing by biological status, and from two measurement series on 21 store pigs. The measurements were made by means of an infrared camera or a manual pyrometer. The sows were measured on livestock farms in varying environment, while the store pigs were tested in conditioning compartments.
