Body temperature is important for diagnosing illnesses. However, its assessment is often a difficult task, considering the large individual differences. Although 37 °C has been the gold standard of body temperature for over a century, the temperature of modern people is reportedly decreasing year by year. However, a mean axillary temperature of 36.89 ± 0.34 °C reported in 1957 is still cited in Japan. To assess the measured axillary temperature appropriately, understanding its distribution in modern people is important. This study retrospectively analyzed 2454 axillary temperature measurement data of healthy Japanese adults in 2019 (age range, 20–79 years; 2258 males). Their mean temperature was 36.47 ± 0.28 °C (36.48 ± 0.27 °C in males and 36.35 ± 0.31 °C in females). Approximately 5% of the 20–39-year-old males had body temperature ≥37 °C, whereas 8% had a temperature ≥ 37 °C in the afternoon. However, none of the subjects aged ≥50 years reported body temperature ≥37 °C. In multivariable regression analysis, age, blood pressure, pulse rate, and measurement time of the day were associated with axillary temperature. Our data showed that the body temperature of modern Japanese adults was lower than that reported previously. When assessing body temperature, the age, blood pressure, pulse rate, and measurement time of the day should be considered.

Purpose.The goal is to determine the real possibili es of assessing the fetal condi on in the ante- and intranatal periods according to the data of cardiotocography.Paents and methods.73 pa ents with physiological pregnancy at 24-40 weeks were prospec vely examined. The prac cal signifi cance of the g6b plus General MEDITECH automated fetal monitor, which allows to determine the condi on of the mother and fetus at the same  me, was evaluated.Results.The average blood pressure in the examined women was 127.2 ± 3.6 by 73.7 ± 2.3 mm. gt; pillars, pulse – 76 ± 1,5 beats/min. As for the contrac le capacity of the uterus, 47 (64,4%) pregnant women in 24–30 weeks. associated with diagnosis, and 19 (26%) – are harbingers of the forthcoming birth. The average SpO2was 99.12 ± 0.11%. Regardless of the gesta onal age, in 7 (9.6%) pregnant women – 97%, 40 (54.8%) – 99% and 21 (28.8%) – 100%. In order to assess the fetal condi on by the nature of his heartbeat, we performed an automated CTG analysis according to W. Fisher, D. Redman, FIGO: according to W. Fisher, depending on the gesta onal age of 6–7 points, 12 (16.4%) pregnant women in 25–26 weeks and 9 (12.3%) – 40 weeks, which according to the ball scale corresponds to a suspicious type. The Doze–Redman criteria were met in 47 (64.4%) pregnant women and were not met – in 26 (35.6%). Interpreta on according to FIGO guidelines as normal was detected in 64 (87.7%) pregnant women and in 9 (12.3%) – doub ul. Depending on the period of pregnancy, this group consisted of the same 9 (12.3%) pregnant women in a period of 40 weeks.Conclusion.Automated analysis allows for the correla on between the main indicators of the well-being of the maternal organism (SpO2, blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, ECG) and fetal CTG parameters (Fisher scale, Dowz Redman criteria and FIGO guidelines) to develop obstetric tac cs for each specifi c pa ent during pregnancy and childbirth.

Abstract Research examining biological risk is critical given that both the Mexican and U.S. populations are aging. Biomarkers can help us understand underlying disease patterns among Mexican-origin individuals in Mexico and the U.S. to help inform disease-prevention efforts for these populations. Using data from the 2012 Mexican Health and Aging Study and the 2010/2012 Health and Retirement Study, we examine seven biomarkers known to predict health risk: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, and C-reactive protein. Logistic regression models, controlling for age and sex, are used to predict high-risk for each biomarker among Mexico-born Mexicans, Mexico-born Mexican-Americans, and U.S.-born Mexican-Americans. Results show that Mexico-born Mexicans exhibit higher biological risk for systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, low HDL cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, and inflammation than Mexico-born and U.S.-born Mexican-Americans. Additionally accounting for socioeconomic status and health behaviors did not explain differences in high-risk among Mexican-born Mexicans.

To compare the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture, massage, and Tachibana-Ryojutsu (one of Japanese traditional body balance therapy techniques (SEITAI)), on stiff shoulders, the subjects’ muscle firmness, blood pressure, pulse, VAS, and body temperature were measured before and after the treatment. Forty-seven volunteer subjects gave written informed consent to participate in this study. The subjects were randomly divided into three groups to receive acupuncture, massage, or Tachibana-Ryojutsu. Each therapy lasted for 90 seconds. The acupuncture treatment was applied by a retaining-needle at GB-21, massage was conducted softly on the shoulders, and Tachibana-Ryojutsu treated only the muscles and joints from the legs to buttocks without touching the shoulders or backs. The study indicated that the muscle firmness and VAS of the Tachibana-Ryojutsu group decreased significantly in comparison with the acupuncture and massage groups after treatment.
