Variations of core-temperature rhythms occurring during a "normal" day (24-hour period without extraordinary challenges for organism) were studied in 5 male sheep. To record the influence of the metabolic processes in different organic systems, core temperatures were measured at various locations at the same time. To minimise any influences due to measurement or behavior (e.g., effects of isolation), a telemetric system was used for registration and animals were kept without restraint in their habitual herd. Particularly biphasic circadian rhythms were found, and feeding schedule as zeitgeber is discussed. Beyond that, independent from point of measurement short-time rhythms with wavelengths of 140 and 90 min were found. Therefore, an origin in the central nervous system can be supposed. Rhythms with wavelengths of 3 hours, 75 min and 1 hour were not stable throughout a whole 24-hour period and did not occur at all measurement points in the same intensity. A comparison of anatomical placements of the various measurement points leads to the realization of distinct organic functions as sources for these rhythms.

Problem And Motivation: The human body dissipates 60 % of its heat by emitting infrared radiation, it can be studied using Infrared Thermography (IRT). IRT images serve as thermal maps of the body, useful in medical applications to investigate the physiopathological of diseases that present symptoms such as swelling, pain, infection, rash, and increased local skin temperature.
Aim: To design a protocol to capture IRT images before and after physical activity.

Traditional climate classification and weather typing systems are not designed to understand and prevent heat illness, or to design effective cooling strategies during extreme heat. Thus, we developed the Heat Stress Compensability Classification (HSCC) combining open-source historical weather data (2005-2020) with biophysical modeling of a standard human, in the sun or shade, during peak city-specific hot hours on the top 10th percentile hottest days in 96 U.S.

Thermoregulation is argued to be an important factor influencing body breadth in hominins based on the relationship of surface area to body mass first proposed by Bergmann. Selection for a narrow thorax, and thus a narrow pelvis, increases body surface area relative to body mass, which could be beneficial in hot climates if it leads to a decrease in core body temperature. However, the relationship between pelvic breadth and thermoregulation in humans has not been established.

The purpose of this study was to compare a wearable system for body core temperature measurement versus bladder and tympanic thermometers in an intensive care setting. The question was, if continuous non-invasive sensors in the intensive care unit represent an alternative to current standard methods of invasive continuous bladder temperature measurement methods?Between May and September 2023, a comparative investigation involving 112 patients was conducted in a 20-bed surgical intensive care unit to assess various temperature probes, including those placed in the tympanic tube, bladder, and skin. To achieve this, a wireless non-invasive sensor system provided by greenTEG AG, Switzerland, was affixed to different body locations (clavicular and lateral chest) of each catheterized patient (equipped with a temperature probe) admitted to the intensive care unit.
