Temperature is the balance between the heat production and heat loss.
A brief outline of diffrent aspects regarding body temperature is discussed here under following headings
*Normal body temperature regulation
*Fever of unknown origin
*Hyperthermia
*Hypothermia
*Frost bite
Have you ever wondered why you sweat when you get too hot from running or shiver on a cold winter's day in this video we are going to explain why your body behaves like this.
Humans are endotherms and this means we are warm blooded we keep our body operating at thirty seven degrees Celsius regardless of the external conditions however this is a real challenge as our environment changes all the time depending on the weather, our clothes, if we are inside by the fire or outside having a snowball fight. So how does this work?
It's quite similar to the heating system in a house. in a house is a thermostat that measures the temperature if the house gets cold the thermostat will tell the radiators to turn on and heat it up if it's too hot they will be told to switch off simple.
Your body works in just the same way here in your brain as a special area called the hypothalamus and it measures the temperature of the blood flowing through it and also it collects information from temperatures senses around the body. it then decides if the temperature is too hot or too cold and we'll try and bring it back to thirty seven degrees Celsius. If you are too hot the hypothalamus can then send signals out to the body by the nervous system that can cause barriers to fact. It can send a signal to your skin and cool sweat glands to secrete the sweat on to the surface of the skin the sweat itself is not cold but it works because it takes the heat away from your body in order to evaporate it.
Another way of losing is vasodilation let kind of these blood vessels narrows this. That said the skin open white and allow blood to flow through them. They heat is radiated from the blood into the air and the blood cools down. If you get too cold you can do the opposite with these blood vessels and place them on keeping the blood away from the surface of the skin this is called vasoconstriction this is when your muscles contract in order to make. Another fact you may have noticed when you are cold against them. If you look more place the at least the Bulls what you realized is that each of the little bugger has a has to hit out at.
These has stood up on and struck a layer of air around the skin air is a fantastic insulate of heat and this will keep you nice and warm.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

the body.
3. Normal Body Temperature 96-100° F
Guyton & Hall:
• Oral: 98° – 98.6° F
• Rectal: 99° – 99.6° F
Harrisons Medicine:
• 97.7° – 99.5° F
• Rectal temperature is 0.7° F or 0.4° C
more than oral temperature.
• Mean core temperature in healthy
adults 36.8° ± 4° C Or 98.2° ± 0.7° F
Circadian Rhythm/Diurnal variation of temperature is 0.5° C or 0.9° F.
More in the evening ( 4.00 pm )
Less in the morning ( 6.00 am )
4. Normal Body Temperature is maintained by Thermoregulatory center of
Hypothalamus by controlling the balance between Heat Production & Heat
Loss.

• Radiation
• Conduction to air
• Conduction to
Object
• Evaporation
• Basal Metabolic Rate
• Extra metabolism Rate
• Muscle contraction by
shivering
• Effect of hormones. EG:
Thyroxine, Growth
hormone, testosterone
• Effect of epinephjrine,
noirepinephrine,
sympathetic
stimulation
• Increased chemical
activity inside cells
• Thermogenic effect of
food
5. How does Hypothalamus control
Body Temperature ?
Hypothalamus maintains the body temperature by controlling the balance between heat loss and heat
production.
Whenever body temperature goes beyond a critical core temperature of 37.1° C or 98.8° F , drastic
changes occur in the rate of heat loss and heat production.
When temperature falls below 98.8° F, Heat Production > Heat Loss
When temperature rises above 98.8° F, Heat Production < Heat Loss
6. When temperature falls below 98.8° F
Body takes measures to rise the temperature to the set point:
Skin Vasoconstriction
throughgout the body,
first in the limbs, causing
shunting of blood from
periphery to limb which
conserves more heat.
Increased Heat
Production by increasing
thermogenesis
Piloerection occurs due
to contraction of
arrector pili muscles
attatched to hair follicles
as a result of
sympathetic stimulation.
Temperature increased to 98.8° F (set point)
Behavioural adjustments eg: putting on more clothes facilitates heat conservation, thereby increasing
body temperature.
7. When temperature rises above 98.8° F
Body takes measures to lower the temperature back to the set point:
Skin Vasodilation
throughgout the body,
causing pulling of blood
to periphery which
increasess heat loss upto
eightfold.
Reduced Heat Production by
decreasing thermogenesis.
Sweating occurs due to
sympathetic stimulation
in response to
stimulation of the
anterior preoptic
hypothalamic nucleus.
Temperature reduced to 98.8° F (set point)
Behavioural adjustments eg: remove clothings, facilitates heat loss and thereby reducing the body
temperature.
8. What happens if the Hypothalamic Set
Point is elevated ?
• Fever ?
• Hyperthermia ?
• Hyperpyrexia ?
9. • Fever is an elevation
of body temperature
that exceeds the
normal daily variation
and occurs in
conjunction with an
increase in the
hypothalamic set
point.
• Occurs in response to
Pyrogens.
• Hypothalamic
thermoregulatory set
point is raised.
• Antipyretics reduce
body temperature.
• Hyperpyrexia is a fever
of > 41.5° C or 106.7° F
• Occurs in response to
pyrogens.
• Hypothalamic
thermoregulatory set
point is raised
• Antipyretics reduce
body temperature.
• Hyperthermia is an
uncontrolled increase in
body temperature that
exceeds body’s ability to
lose heat.
• Occurs due to excessive
heat production or excess
exogenous heat. No role
of pyrogens.
• Hypothalamic
thermoregulatory set
point is unchanged.
• Antipyretics doesn’t work.
FEVER HYPERPYREXIA HYPERTHERMIA
Reference: Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine
10. PYROGENS
Substances that cause fever
when they are present in
blood in appropriate
concentrations.
Derived from outside the
patients body.
Eg: Microbial products,
microbial toxins, micro-
organisms.
Classic example is: Endotoxin
(LPL) derived from gram (-)ve
bacteria.
Cytokines that cause fever.
Cytokines are small proteins that regulate
immune, inflammatory, hematopoietic
process.
Endogenous pyrogens are conventionally
called Pyrogenic Cytokines.
Eg: IL-1, IL-6, TNF, Ciliary neurotropic factor
etc derived from myeloid and endothelial
cells.
Exogenous Endogenous
11. Fever can occur due to
presence of exgenous
pyrogens via microbial
infections.
Inflammatory process such as Pericarditis;
Trauma, Stroke, Routine immunization may
induce the production of Pyrogenic Cytokines
and therefore induce fever.
Either of these two can trigger the hypothalamus to raise the set
point of hypothalamic thermoregulation to a febrile level.
FEVER
12. Infection, Microbial
toxins, Inflammatory
mediators, Immune
reactions
Pyrogenic Cytokines ( IL-1,
IL-6, TNF, IFN ) released
from macrophages/
monocytes, endothelial
cells & other cells
Microbial toxins
(Exogenous Pyrogens )
Hypothalamic Endothelium Arachidonic Acid
PGE2
Cyclooxygenase
cAMP
Activation of neuronal
endings from hypothalamic
thermoreghulatory centre.
Elevated Set Point
Body will take
measures to raise
the temperature to
setpoint.
13.
14. Elevated Set Point
Setpoint is elevated
Body temperature
is still below the
setpoint.
Patient will feel cold
Chills Increased tone of skeletal
muscles throughout the body by
facilitating the activity of the
anterior motor neurons.
Shivering occurs when the tone
rises above a certain critical
level.
Activation of primary motor centre for
shivering which is located in the
dorsomedial portion of the posterior
hypothalamus near the wall of the third
ventricle.
Nonrhythmical signals via lateral
columns of spinal cord to the
anterior motor neurons
Rigor
Sympathetic stimulation
Contraction of
arrector pili
muscles attatched
to the hair follicles
to contract.
Upright projection of Hair
follicles
Piloerection
Entrapment of thick layer of
insulator air next to the skin,
allowing greater degree of heat
conservation.
15. • All these processes continue until the body reaches this temperature,
meaning Blood bathing the Hypothalamic region matches the new
set point temperature.
• When the hypothalamic thermoregulatory set point temperature is
achieved throughout the body, Congratulations ! Now you have
Fever.
• Now all these processes are going to stop. Chills, Rigor, Shivering,
Piloerection – everything. The body will now work to maintain this
elevated set point temperature.
