Purpose. The aim of this study was to assess the temperature changes of selected body surfaces (the arm and forearm) as a response to 90-minute physical exercise as well as to analyze the impact of physiological and morphological factors on the dynamics of temperature change. Methods. A study group that consisted of 12 professional volleyball players was subjected to endurance training which lasted 90 minutes. Numerous physiological and morphological factors were measured, with mean temperatures registered from the body surface of the upper extremities before, immediately after, and ten min after physical effort by a thermal camera (SC500 ThermaCAM camera) at room temperature. Results. After physical exercise, a fall in skin temperature resulting from prolonged sweating during the dynamic exercise tests was observed. The temperature changes in volleyball players, recorded in a series of tests, were found to be larger on the front surfaces of their upper extremities when compared to the rear. In addition, statistically significant positive correlation between maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and %HRmax, calculated with the decrease in skin temperatures, was found. Conclusions. The strong and statistically significant influence of maximum oxygen uptake on the drop in surface temperature of the upper extremities (arm and forearm) immediately after the exercise indicates that thermography can be used as an additional, non-invasive method that provides information on a player's fitness level in comparison to other athletes.

Electric devices enabling the maintenance of haemostasis during surgery have found application in modern thyroidectomy procedures. The haemostatic effect is associated with generation of heat, which apart from the intended result may bring about thermal tissue injury.The aim of the study was to determine the thermal spread around the active tip of electric devices in the operating field during total thyroidectomy, and the safe temperature range during the operation of studied devices.Materials and methods. Over 14 months from December 2009 until January 2011, 76 total thyroidectomy procedures were analysed. The surgeries employed mono- and bipolar diathermy as well as the ThermoStapler™ bipolar vessel sealing system. During the procedures, the thermal spread around the active tips of used electric devices was recorded with the use of high-definition camera. Comparable 5-second periods of electric device use at two power ranges (30 W and 50 W) were selected from the recorded material. The highest temperature of the active tip of electric devices was determined, and the 42°C isotherm was found with the use of computer image analysis, thus determining the safe distance of important anatomic structures from the active tip of the electric device.Results. The temperature spread around the active tips of electric devices was recorded and the 42°C isotherm was determined. The diameter of this isotherm at the end of operation differed statistically significantly depending on the type of electric devices and power settings. The highest temperature, at both power ranges, was recorded for the bipolar vessel sealing system, while the lowest - for bipolar diathermy; at the same time a significantly lower 42°C isotherm diameter was found for ThermoStapler™ as compared with other devices. In all studied cases, the largest heat spread was found for monopolar diathermy.Conclusions. The mean safe distance of the active tip of an electric device from important anatomic structures is 5 mm and depends on the device type and its power settings. Monopolar diathermy causes the strongest heating of surrounding tissues, and the ThermoStapler™ bipolar vessel sealing system, despite producing the highest temperature during operation, causes relatively small thermal injury to the surrounding tissues.

Background: The aim of this research was an attempt at qualifying the influence of various kinds of warm-up on physical effort ability, as well as examining whether there exists any dependence between the surface temperature of the quadricipital muscle of the thigh and the power expressed with the height of counter movement jump (CMJ). Material/Methods: In the research thermographic imaging and dynamometric platform were used. The subjects performed the CMJ test in 3 separate sessions - without any warm-up and then after preparation (1st session - jogtrot; 2nd session - jogtrot and stretching exercises; 3 session - dynamic warm up exercises). Results: In the examined group there was no lineal dependence between the surface temperature of the quadriceps and the power expressed with the height of a jump. Regardless of the kind of the applied warm-up, subjects improved their own results in the CMJ test; however, no such regularity concerning the temperature rise on the surface of a muscle was observed. In a dynamic warm-up lower surface temperature of the quadriceps meant a higher value of CMJ (r=0.64; p<0.05). This warm-up proved to be most efficient in the preparation for effort. Conclusions: The fact that highest values of a jump and surface temperature were attained after various kinds of warm-up permits supposing that finding individual forms of preparation for effort by an athlete, in order to increase the competition efficiency, is possible.

The aim of this study was to assess changes in selected morphological parameters and body composition, as well as in the mean body surface temperature determined by thermal imaging, in women after abdominal liposuction. As abdominal tissue edema and inflammation often persist after liposuction, body composition and surface temperatures were analyzed 3 months after surgery, during a control visit to the clinic. The 12-week delay allowed to eliminate the confounding effects of post-surgical inflammation on our results. We found a statistically significant decrease in all the analyzed morphological parameters and a change in body composition. A reduction in the subcutaneous fat tissue in the abdomen resulted in upward trends in the surface temperature of most of the analyzed areas, with a highly significant increase in the abdominal area. These studies can be considered pioneering and significant in confirming the role of subcutaneous fat as a factor regulating the body surface temperature.

Termografia ma zastosowanie w ocenie rozległości oraz nasilenia lokalnego przekrwienia i metabolizmu tkankowego, wykorzystując zjawisko wysokiej termoemisji. W okulistyce używana jest w diagnostyce stanów zapalnych gałki ocznej. Wzrost temperatury gałki ocznej obserwuje się w guzach nowotworowych takich jak czerniak oraz naczyniak błony naczyniowej. Obniżenie temperatury jako efekt zaburzeń ukrwienia stwierdza się w zatorach naczyniowych, jaskrze, retinopatii cukrzycowej czy AMD. Zaobserwowano niższą emisję promieniowania podczerwonego na powierzchni gałki ocznej w zespole suchego oka, na skutek zaburzonego filmu łzowego i szybszego parowania. Termografia jest metodą nieinwazyjną, szybką oraz obiektywną, która może w przyszłości stanowić uzupełnienie w diagnostyce wielu schorzeń okulistycznych.

Thermography is used to assess the extent and intensity of local hyperaemia and tissue metabolism based on the emitted radiation in the infrared range. In ophthalmology, it is used for the diagnosis of ocular inflammatory conditions. Increased ocular surface temperature is observed in tumours such as melanoma and uveal naevus. Reduced temperature as a result of blood flow disorders is detected in patients with vascular occlusion, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or AMD. Lower emission of infrared radiation on the ocular surface was observed in dry eye syndrome due to tear film instability and faster tear evaporation. Thermography is a non-invasive, fast and objective technique, and in the future it may complement the diagnostic process of many ophthalmic diseases.
