The aim of the study was to assess the impact of cryotherapy on changes of surface body temperate and efficiency of thermoregulatory processes in relation to the intensity of cryogenic stimuli. The study included 30 football players and 30 students. Intervention: both groups were divided into three subgroups treated with cryostimulation at -100, -120 and -140°C. Body surface temperature was measured at baseline (before cryostimulation), 5 and 30 min after the treatment. Regions of trunk, lower limbs and upper limbs were examined. The difference of baseline raw curves and raw curves performed directly and 30 min after cryotherapy at the three levels of temperature in both studied groups. Baseline surface body temperature was lower in athletes than in student. Decrease in surface temperature observed after cryotherapy was significant and greater in football players than in students. The drop in surface temperature in athletes by 4.87°in the regions of upper limbs, trunk by 5.9°C and lower limbs by 7.81°C was reported. After 30-min restitution, the surface temperature restored to baseline in all subjects in all examined regions with greater dynamics in athletes. The study results indicate better effectiveness of thermoregulatory processes in football players. In this group, the greatest changes in temperature occurred after cryostimulation at temperature -120°C.Further research is required to assess recommended values of thermal stimuli.

“…The camera records the infrared radiation emitted by the skin, which is directly proportional to the skin temperature. Skin temperature depends on two groups of factors, namely internal and ambient factors (10,11,15,17,24). The environmental settings of our measurement being virtually constant, the changes of temperature recorded were therefore due only to internal factors.…”

Changes of skin temperature (T degree) of the nose area during nasal provocation tests with histamine and allergen were followed by means of an infrared thermography camera. By a colimator system in which temperatures measured on a given surface can be integrated and averaged, thermography allows the continuous and quantitative recording of the temperature during the whole procedure in a completely noninvasive way. In 10 normal subjects, increasing doses of histamine induced a dose-dependent rise of the nose external temperature. No significant change was observed with the vehicle solution. In six subjects allergic to grass pollen, the nebulization of increasing concentrations of a pollen extract induced a dose-dependent rise in T degree. The T degree rise observed after histamine or allergen corresponded to a marked nasal obstruction. The nebulization of the highest dose of the pollen extract did not induce any T degree rise in six nonallergic subjects. The continuous recording of the skin temperature by a noninvasive method might yield additional information on the vascular changes rapidly occurring during nasal challenges.

“…Thermal energy from the objects near room temperature is mostly emitted in the infrared spectrum (1-100 µm). 41 With an increase of the temperature of an object, the emission of infrared radiation also increases. In medical thermography heat emission from the human body usually ranges within 6-14 µm.…”

Venous thromboembolism is a serious medical, social, and economic problem. A number of treatment options exist to decrease mortality and morbidity in patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). An accurate and timely diagnosis of this condition is important to improve immediate and long-term prognosis. The standard diagnostic algorithm implying assessment of the clinical probability of the disease, d-dimer test, and venous duplex ultrasound is not optimal. Infrared thermography is a relatively new diagnostic modality under clinical investigation for various medical conditions. This study aims to review the published evidence on infrared thermography as a possible alternative tool in DVT diagnosis. The authors conclude that infrared thermography is still an experimental diagnostic tool for patients with DVT, and requires more clinical research evidence to support theoretical advantages and suggest a possible clinical application.
