Model Predictions

A probe which is capable of applying known, controlled pressures to the skin, and measuring the subsequent tissue deflections and skin surface temperatures has been designed and tested. This paper describes the design of the probe, with emphasis on the thermal aspects. The fin effect of the probe superstructure is compensated for by providing an appropriately sized reflective area on that portion of the probe which contacts the skin. Experimental calibration results and numerical model predictions are presented.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of providing shade to Girolando cows on milk yield and composition, physiological parameters, hemogram and blood pH. Two treatments were used: paddocks with and without shade. Animals were alternately kept in each treatment for a period of 15 days for three times. Milk production was recorded and measurements were taken for rectal temperature, skin surface and udder surface temperatures. A total of 24 blood samples were collected form each cow during the experimental procedure. This was done to compare the mean milk yield and chemical composition as well as physiological and blood parameters. The t-test was applied at 5% significance level. Milk urea was higher when the animals were kept in a shaded area. The morning recording for blood erythrocyte counts hematocrit, milk urea, rectal temperature, skin surface and udder surface temperatures showed interaction with respect to temperature ranges whereas the udder temperature in the afternoon showed a similar response. Girolando cows with 3/4 Holland + 1/4 Gyr and 7/8 Holland + 1/8 Gyr blood levels present an ability to adapt to the environment, and there was no effect of shading on milk yield and composition, physiological and blood parameters evaluated.

Abstract Understanding how β adrenergic agonists influence the physiology of heat stress could lead to mitigation options. We sought to investigate body surface temperatures in feedlot wethers supplemented with ractopamine or zilpaterol and exposed to heat stress for 18 d. Corneal and skin temperatures were assessed via infrared thermography at 1 and 2-m distances. Rectal temperatures and circulating leukocytes, metabolites, and electrolytes were also measured. Heat stress increased (P < 0.05) rectal temperatures in unsupplemented and zilpaterol-supplemented lambs but not in ractopamine-supplemented lambs. Heat stress also increased (P < 0.05) surface temperatures of the cornea, nose, ear, and back, regardless of supplement. Observations were comparable between thermography performed at 1 and 2 m, and higher emissivity settings generally produced less variation. Heat stress tended to increase (P = 0.08) blood monocytes in unsupplemented but not ractopamine or zilpaterol-supplemented lambs. Granulocytes were increased (P < 0.05) by heat stress in ractopamine-supplemented lambs but decreased (P < 0.05) in zilpaterol-supplemented lambs. Blood glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol did not differ among groups, and blood lactate was reduced (P < 0.05) by heat stress in zilpaterol-supplemented lambs only. Blood Na + was reduced (P < 0.05) and Ca 2+ increased (P < 0.05) by heat stress, regardless of supplement. These findings indicate that β1 and β2 adrenergic agonists differentially relieve some but not all heat stress-induced changes in stress indicators. Moreover, corneal and skin surface temperatures measured by infrared thermography reasonably identified body temperature changes at a distance of 2 m.

Superficial Hyperthermia

Background: Accurate monitoring of skin surface temperatures is necessary to ensure treatment quality during superficial hyperthermia. A high-resolution thermal monitoring sheet (TMS) was developed to monitor the skin surface temperature distribution. The influence of the TMS on applicator performance was investigated, feasibility and ability to reliably monitor the temperature distribution were evaluated in a clinical study. Methods: Phantom experiments were performed to determine the influence of the TMS on power deposition patterns, applicator efficiency, and heat transfer of the water bolus for 434 and 915 MHz applicators. Clinical feasibility was evaluated in 10 women with locoregional recurrent breast cancer. Skin surface temperatures during consecutive treatments were monitored alternatingly with either standard Amsterdam UMC thermometry or TMS. Treatments were compared using (generalized) linear mixed models. Results: The TMS did not significantly affect power deposition patterns and applicator efficiency (1–2%), the reduced heat transfer of the water boluses (51–56%) could be compensated by adjusting the water bolus flow. Skin surface temperatures were monitored reliably, and no alteration of thermal toxicity was observed compared to standard Amsterdam UMC thermometry. Conclusion: Clinical application of the TMS is feasible. Power deposition patterns and applicator efficiency were not affected. Surface temperatures were monitored reliably.
