“…The average reduction found was 0.6ºC of muscle temperature, when comparing GI with GII, during the second consultation. It is important to emphasize that in both groups the clinical data were obtained from the validated questionnaire, RDC/TMD (Research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders), in this study, they corroborate the clinical results favorable to the reduction of pain and contracture in the face of heat reduction therapies place 1,7,8 Since thermotherapy is contraindicated in cases of acute inflammatory and hemorrhagic processes 8,20,21 , and cold contains the evolution of the inflammatory process, a systemic drug with anti-inflammatory properties, of muscular action, and especially in cases of contractures and muscular excessive effort, represents a viable therapeutic possibility in the treatment and prevention of these conditions 13,14,15,16,17,18,19 .…”

The Arnica montana 6CH is a medicine for general muscular alterations and by isometric and thermography is a resource for the diagnosis of these alterations. Goal: The objective of this double-blind randomized clinical study was to verify the role of Arnica montana 6CH in the thermographic muscle changes of patients submitted to isometric stress in prolonged sessions of endodontics. Materials and methods: 70 patients were selected after a positive response to the RDC questionnaire (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorder) for confirmation of TMD (Temporomandibular Muscular Dysfunction). Masseter and temporalis muscle temperatures on both sides were taken and recorded before and after the first endodontic consultation. Arnica montana 6CH was randomly prescribed to 35 patients, constituting group I, and placebo to 35 patients of group II. In the second endodontic consultation, a new measurement of muscle temperatures was performed and clinical evaluation was performed with the crossing of data from the RDC/TMD questionnaire. Data were tabulated and analyzed. Statistical analysis: Student's t test was used for paired samples, significant at the level of ≥ 0.05%. Results: The average decrease in comparative temperature between G I and G II was 0.6ºC, and in the GI group (Arnica montana 6CH), the lower thermal results were statistically significant compared to GII (p=0.0022). Regarding the anamnetic data from the RDC questionnaire, 86% of the individuals in the GI had lower pain rates at the second consultation, compared with 22% in the GII. Conclusion:The medicine Arnica montana 6CH was shown to be effective in preventing muscle changes and clinical symptoms resulting from isometric efforts with a statistically significant difference (p=0.0022).

“…Literature Review projects. Commonly-seen applications include non-destructive testing [9], laser welding [10], bio-information collection and analysis in physiology [11][12][13], sport science [14,15], medication [16][17][18][19], ecology [20,21], geomorphic changes monitoring in geology [22], heat transfer analysis [23,24], thermal analysis of semiconductor lasers [25], etc. This method utilizes the fact that the energy radiated from a surface is dependent on its temperature.…”

Metallic engineering components exposed to high temperature for an extensive time are vulnerable to deterioration of mechanical properties due to the formation of micro-structural defects such as creep, embrittlement, graphitization. These defects starts to initiate when the temperature of engineering components is greater than a threshold. As a useful tool, thermography can assist in providing relevant information for the determination of locations where these defects can potentially form.Conventional thermography methods in non-destructive testing, for example, the infrared thermography, are applicable only to map the surface temperature which could not estimate the positions of the subsurface defects caused by high temperature. There has been some development of internal thermal imaging techniques in the medical field based on magnetic-resonance (MR) and X-ray. However, these methods are not applicable to high-temperature metallic materials in NDT considering their limited measuring range of less than 100 • C, the low penetration depth, and potential disturbance to the original temperature field.The work presented in this thesis extends the scope of temperature imaging for hightemperature metals from surface to subsurface. The challenge of the subsurface thermography comes from satisfying simultaneously the four requirements: 1) to avoid damages of measuring instruments caused by the high temperature of the heated sample, 2) compatible with metal materials, 3) little disturbance to the target temperature field, 4) reliable data collection with high SNR. To overcome the challenge, the non-contact subsurface thermography using laser-ultrasonic waveform ix ABSTRACT inversion is proposed.The subsurface thermography based on the traveltimes of Rayleigh wave is presented. The feasibility of the proposed thermography is validated experimentally.A relative error of 10% within 1 wavelength is observed. The performance of the proposed subsurface thermography, including the average error, the reconstruction depth and the resistance to noise, is investigated numerically. The effective range of temperature reconstruction is defined, within which the average reconstruction error is around 5%. The depth of effective reconstruction is around 1.3 wavelength.The inverted results with noise added at different levels indicate that the proposed method has a strong resistance to noise.Apart from traveltime, other information such as frequency and amplitude, contained in the laser-ultrasound waveforms can also provide useful information for subsurface thermography. The subsurface thermography based on the full-waveform inversion method is therefore proposed. The experimental results show a relative error of 10% within a depth of 1 wavelength. Compared with the experimental results using traveltime, the overall accuracy of the experimental results is lower as full-waveform inversion requires a higher accuracy in the collected signals and the consistency between the numerical configuration and the experimental setup.
