In Ayurveda, Jwara is not merely the concept of raised body temperature, but as is said in Charaka Samhita, 'Deha- Indriya- Manah- Santap' is the cardinal symptoms of Jwara. This can be defined as the state where the body, mind as well as sense oragans suffer due to the high temperature. Vishamajwara is a type of fever, which is described in all Ayurvedic texts. Charaka mentioned Vishamajwara and Chakrapani have commented on Vishamajwara as Bhutanubanda, Susruta affirmed that Aagantuchhanubhandohi praysho Vishamajware. Madhavakara has also recognised Vishamajwara as Bhutabhishangajanya (infected by microorganism). Vishamajwara is irregular (inconsistent) in it's Arambha (nature of onset commitment), Kriya (action production of symptoms) and Kala (time of appearance) and possesses Anushanga (persistence for long periods). The treatment of this disease depends upon Vegavastha and Avegavastha of Jwara. Various Shodhana and Shamana procedures are mentioned in classics to treat Visham Jwara.

The factor of the kata-thermometer as deduced from the relationF = 0·27θ × cooling time in secondsis not constant, but increases as θ decreases. The relation between F and θ is shown, and it is recommended that the factor should always be corrected to the value corresponding to a temperature of 60° F.The rate of heat-loss calculated from the factor determined by the still air method is not the true value, but under-estimates it. If the true value is required it can be obtained with reasonable accuracy by increasing the still air value of the factor by 20 per cent, in the case of the body-temperature kata, and 31 per cent, in the case of the high-temperature instrument. For ordinary use however, it is recommended that the still air factor should continue to be used.Observations were made in still air with standard kata-thermometers and also with silvered instruments. From these observations, and from determinations of the emissivity of the bulbs, the heat loss by radiation was estimated. The remainder after deducting the radiation loss from the total heat loss gave the loss by convection. Estimations of the convection loss from the silvered and plain katas corresponded closely. An equation is given for the convection loss in still air.The whirling arm method was used for investigating the effects of air velocities up to 1 m. per sec., corrections being made for swirl. The equation deduced from these observations on the standard body-temperature katas was practically identical with the equation of Hill, Vernon and Hargood-Ash. An equation of similar form was found for the silvered body-temperature kata-thermometers, and equations are also given for the high-temperature instruments. When the true rate of heat-loss is used it is found that one equation can be made to fit the observations with both high-temperature and body-temperature instruments, whether the bulb surfaces are of glass or silver.It is shown that in places where the temperature of the surrounding surfaces differs from the air temperature, a much more reliable estimate of the air velocity can be obtained if a silvered kata is used instead of the plain glass instrument.A method is given for measuring the emission of radiation from the surroundings by means of ordinary and silvered kata-thermometers, and it is shown that estimates so made correspond, to within 1 per cent., with the values obtained by direct thermopile measurements.

2019 Coronavirus Hypothesis Model, preliminary hypothesis model, no experiments have been conducted yet. For laboratory reference only, please do not apply this theory before experimental verification. This article discusses the origin of the 2019 Coronavirus, the principles of human infection, the principles of transmission, high binding, changes in human temperature, prevention and treatmen.2019 Coronavirus originates from bats or other animals. In bats, this virus is a cooling factor. Due to the high temperature of bats, this cooling factor lowers the temperature of bats and belongs to normal life activity, it will not produce immune activation, and thus will not produce infections and diseases in the bat body. When this cooling factor enters the human body, especially when the temperature is low, the virus starts the function of the cooling factor in the human body, that is, to lower the human body temperature, the chill happens. The human immune system starts the immune function and gives a fever to fight the cooling. The replication and binding of the 2019 Coronavirus depends on the temperature of the surrounding cells. The higher the temperature, the more replicated and the stronger the binding. Therefore, the fever of the human body promotes the aggravation of the disease. addition to those suspected of having a fever, people whose body temperature is lower than normal may also be infected with 2019 Coronavirus. The way for bats to inhibit the replication of 2019 Coronavirus is high temperature, to avoid body temperature too low. It can be experimented to put the human body in a higher temperature environment, the heat is transmitted to the body, and the low temperature factor of the 2019 Coronavirus can be overcome. The hypothetical prevention method is: everyone in the world isolates for a certain period of time, and raises the temperature around the human body, so that everyone in the world has no 2019 Coronavirus.

The state of torpidity (hibernation), the food consumption, and the weight of a number of C. lateralis were recorded daily, weekly, and weekly, respectively, for periods up to 2 years. At ambient temperatures of 32° F, 70° F, and 95–100° F and under constant lighting conditions, all animals displayed an approximately 1-year cyclic variation in weight which roughly paralleled the consumption of food. Under these constant conditions of light and temperature the animals subjected to 32° F and 70° F hibernated, i.e., their body temperature dropped nearly to the ambient and they became torpid. The body temperature of animals kept at 95–100° F could not drop and these animals did not become torpid.Hibernation could not be induced by removal of food but was greatly prolonged if food was not present in the cages at the time the whole hibernation period was ending. The onset of hibernation could be changed only slightly by changing the day lengths. Hibernation was possible only at a specific stage of the weight cycle. The length of the weight cycle was shortened by exposure to an ambient temperature of 95–100° F. By manipulation of the length of the exposure to the high temperature it was possible to have animals hibernating in summer and active in winter. It was not possible to produce a similar shift in the phase of the weight cycle, and hence of hibernation, by changing the lighting conditions.

Abstract Infrared thermography thermometer is a non-contact temperature measuring equipment, which is widely used in the stage of large-scale epidemic of the covid-19 pandemic. It is used for rapid screening of human body temperature in crowded places at the entrance and exit of airports, docks, shopping malls, stations and schools. But when the outdoor temperature approaches or exceeds the body temperature in summer, can this method of measuring body surface temperature by infrared thermal imager be used as a standard for screening fever? Under the condition of high temperature in summer, the field experiment of measuring body temperature by infrared thermal imager is carried out, the experimental results are analyzed. We recommend the use of relative temperature difference for screening patients with fever.

The object of the present investigation is to throw further light upon the differences between the disturbances in the chemical processes in the body in fever caused, on the one hand, by the mere rise of body temperature, and on the other by the action of the micro-organismal poisons on the tissues of the body.The influence of such micro-organismal poisons has been already studied by several investigators-among others, by Noël Paton, Dunlop, and Macadam in the case of diphtheria (Journ. of Phys., vol. xxiv. p. 331,1899; see also chapter “Fever and Infection,” by Kraus, Von Noorden's Metabolism and Practical Medicine, vol. ii. p. 90); but so far few detailed studies of the metabolism in high temperature due to non-infectious processes have been recorded.

The silvicultural principles of a forest management plan for Canton Neuchâtel reveals itself as steeped in a systemic approach that allows us to consider the forest as a truly living system. In this context, it seems judicious to the author to conceive of the body forest personnel as a group of responsible people who share certain common ethics and who, in their work, promote the emergence of collective services recognised as beneficial to the state and which would be supported by public funding for the good of the entire community.

Background: Fever, is known as pyrexia, may occur due to infection, inflammation, or any tissue damage and disease states. Normally, the infected or damaged tissue initiates the enhanced formation of pro-inflammatory mediators like cytokines which further increases the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PgE2) near the hypothalamic area and thereby trigger the hypothalamus to elevate the body temperature. Objective: Antipyretics are the agents which reduce the elevated body temperature. The most commonly used antipyretic agent, paracetamol, may be fatal due to its side effects. Methods: In this review paper, Chemical Abstracts, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct were the sources for the published article to collect information regarding antipyretic activity. Results: This review compiles the antipyretic plants that may be useful to treat fever due to various diseases. Conclusion: These medicinal plants could be good alternatives for traditional allopathic antipyretics.
