Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) in humans. [ 2 ] Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia, there is shivering and mental confusion. In moderate hypothermia, shivering stops and confusion increases. [ 3 ] In severe hypothermia, there may be hallucinations and paradoxical undressing, in ...
t. e. Wilson's (temperature) syndrome, also called Wilson's thyroid syndrome or WTS, is a term used in alternative medicine to improperly attribute various common and non-specific symptoms to abnormally low body temperature and impaired conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3), despite normal thyroid function tests. [1] E.
Wernicke encephalopathy (WE), also Wernicke's encephalopathy, [ 1 ] or wet brain is the presence of neurological symptoms caused by biochemical lesions of the central nervous system after exhaustion of B-vitamin reserves, in particular thiamine (vitamin B 1). [ 2 ] The condition is part of a larger group of thiamine deficiency disorders that ...
Although fever is a common symptom of Covid-19, some people infected with the virus report chills without a fever. So, if you have chills along with other common Covid symptoms, such as a sore ...
Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) is a surgical technique in which the temperature of the body falls significantly (between 20 °C (68 °F) to 25 °C (77 °F)) and blood circulation is stopped for up to one hour. It is used when blood circulation to the brain must be stopped because of delicate ...
In humans, hyperthermia is defined as a temperature greater than 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F), depending on the reference used, that occurs without a change in the body's temperature set point. [3][10] The normal human body temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) in the late afternoon. [2] Hyperthermia requires an elevation from ...
Euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS) is a state of adaptation or dysregulation of thyrotropic feedback control [1] wherein the levels of T3 and/or T4 are abnormal, but the thyroid gland does not appear to be dysfunctional. This condition may result from allostatic responses of hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid feedback control, dyshomeostatic disorders ...
Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level. [ 1 ] Hypoxia may be classified as either generalized, affecting the whole body, or local, affecting a region of the body. [ 2 ] Although hypoxia is often a pathological condition, variations in arterial oxygen ...
