This study was conducted to determine the physiological response of acute heat stress in Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) and Walik chickens with four different HSP70 gene haplotypes (H1', H1, H2, and H3). Acute heat stress is carried out at 35°C for one hour. The data was analyzed based on rectal temperature measurements, distribution of body surface temperature (head, neck, body, and leg area), hormone levels (corticosterone and triiodothyronine), and time of panting. Body surface temperature is detected using infrared thermography. The results showed that haplotype H1 Walik chicken is more susceptible to heat stress based on the rectal temperature. In contrast, H1' haplotype Walik chicken released more heat through the body surface in the leg area. Keywords: heat stress, hormone, KUB chicken, infrared thermography, walik chicken

Objective: To study the changes of body surface temperature of Taekwondo athletes during overload training, and provide new ideas and means for athletes to evaluate their body response after overload training. Methods: The infrared thermography technique was used to monitor the body surface temperature of the chest and abdomen of the Taekwondo athletes, and the changes of body surface temperature were observed. The experiment used Beckman automatic biochemical analyzer to determine creatine kinase (CK) index. The experiment used the RPE scale to test the self-fatigue sensation. On the training day, the training starts at 9:00 am every day and the training is completed in 2 hours. The training starts at 14:00 in the afternoon and the training is completed in 2 hours. The morning training requires a minimum heart rate of 130 beats/min, and keeps it for more than 30 minutes. The training end time is 11:00; afternoon training requires a minimum heart rate of 170 beats/min, and maintained for more than 30 minutes, the training end time is 16:00. Results: The athletes’ sports injury parts increased significantly after exercise, which can indirectly reflect the athlete’s physical fatigue reaction state after overload training. Body surface temperature has a good consistency with creatine kinase (CK), heart rate, and body function response, indicating that body surface temperature values can replace creatine kinase (CK), heart rate, and self-physiological response, indicating that infrared thermography can be accurate. The physiological response status after overload training was assessed. Conclusion: The thermal imaging camera can accurately identify and analyze the injury and physiological response status of athletes. Infrared thermography studies show that the body surface temperature of athletes has a certain correlation with (CK); the body surface temperature and physiological fatigue response of athletes have certain Correlation law; the body surface temperature of the athlete has a correlation with the heart rate; the body surface temperature of the athlete’s sports injury site after the sports injury is significantly increased, which indirectly reflects the physical fatigue response of the athlete after overload training.

ABSTRACTUnderstanding the physiological processes that underpin primate performance is key if we are to assess how a primate might respond when navigating new and changing environments. Given the connection between an animal’s ability to thermoregulate and the changing demands of its thermal environment, increasing attention is being devoted to the study of thermoregulatory processes as a means to assess primate performance. Infrared thermography can be used to record the body surface temperatures of free-ranging animals. However, some uncertainty remains as to how these measurements can be used to approximate core body temperature. Here, we use data collected from wild vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) to examine the relationship between infrared body surface, core body, and local climate, to determine to what extent surface temperatures reflect core body temperature. While we report a positive association between surface and core body temperature – a finding that has previously been used to justify the use of surface temperature measurements as a proxy for core temperature regulation – when we controlled for the effect of the local climate in our analyses, this relationship was no longer observed. That is, body surface temperatures were solely predicted by local climate, and not core body temperatures, suggesting that surface temperatures tell us more about the environment a primate is in, and less about the thermal status of its body core in that environment. Despite the advantages of a non-invasive means to detect and record animal temperatures, infrared thermography alone cannot be used to approximate core body temperature in wild primates.

AbstractThis paper introduces some levels at which the computer has been incorporated in the research into the basis of electrocardiography. The emphasis lies on the modeling of the heart as an electrical current generator and of the properties of the body as a volume conductor, both playing a major role in the shaping of the electrocardiographic waveforms recorded at the body surface. It is claimed that the Forward-Problem of electrocardiography is no longer a problem. Several source models of cardiac electrical activity are considered, one of which can be directly interpreted in terms of the underlying electrophysiology (the depolarization sequence of the ventricles). The importance of using tailored rather than textbook geometry in inverse procedures is stressed.

The relationship between body height and body weight has been described by using various terms. Notable among them is the body mass index, body surface area, body shape index and body surface index. In clinical setting the first descriptive parameter is the BMI scale, which provides information about whether an individual body weight is proportionate to the body height. Since the development of BMI, two other body parameters have been developed in an attempt to determine the relationship between body height and weight. These are the body surface area (BSA) and body surface index (BSI). Generally, these body parameters are described as clinical health indicators that described how healthy an individual body response to the other internal organs. The aim of the study is to discuss the use of BSI as a better clinical health indicator for preclinical assessment of body-organ/tissue relationship. Hence organ health condition as against other body composition. In addition the study is `also to determine the best body parameter the best predict other parameters for clinical application. The model parameters are presented as; modeled height and weight; modelled BSI and BSA, BSI and BMI and modeled BSA and BMI. The models are presented as clinical application software for comfortable working process and designed as GUI and CAD for use in clinical application.
