SKIN AND SUBCUTANEOUS TEMPERATURE CHANGES DURING EXPOSURE TO INTENSE THERMAL RADIATION

J.A.J. Stolwijk, J.D. Hardy · 1964

Researchers exposed human subjects to intense thermal radiation from quartz lamps at 0.15 gm cal/sec/cm² and measured skin temperature changes with a radiometer. For longer exposures, vasodilation and sweating slowed the skin temperature rise. Subcutaneous temperatures could be calculated from surface data, with most radiation absorbed in the first 0.05-0.15 mm of skin, though some near 1μ penetrated to 5 mm or more.

UTILIZATION OF ENZYMES FOR THE DETECTION OF BIOLOGICALLY HARMFUL AGENTS

A. A. Pokrovsky · 1964

The study tested cholinesterase as an indicator for phosphorus-containing insecticides including mercaptophos, thiophos, octamethyl pyrophosphoramide, and triethylisophosphate. Mercaptophos showed the strongest anticholinesterase effect, followed by thiophos, and the degree of enzyme suppression matched the compounds' toxicity. The colorimetric method using horse serum cholinesterase and bromthymol blue could detect mercaptophos and thiophos at quantities exceeding 1 mg per test sample. Aqueous solutions of mercaptophos stored at 277 degrees showed increasing anticholinesterase activity over the first 24 hours followed by a gradual decline, indicating transformation into a more active form.

TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTIONS AS PRODUCED BY MICROWAVES IN SPECIMENS UNDER THERAPEUTIC CONDITIONS

George D. Brunner et al. · 1963

Researchers aimed to determine heating patterns and temperature distributions from 2,450 and 900 mc microwave diathermy using pig thigh specimens composed of skin, fat, and muscle. The 900 mc frequency penetrated tissue more deeply and produced relatively more heat in muscle, while 2,450 mc deposited more heat in subcutaneous fat. For patients with up to 2 cm of subcutaneous fat, 900 mc yielded the highest temperature in muscle whereas 2,450 mc still peaked in fat.
