Body Temperature Regulation

Elevation of body temperature Physiological elevation of body temperatureBefore menstruation, Strenuous exercise, Stress Conditions of body temperature elevation
-
Pathological elevation of body temperature Fever Hyperthermia (Regulatory/Active elevation of T) (Non-regulatory/Passive elevation of T Conditions of body temperature elevationElevation of body temperature Physiological elevation of body temperatureBefore menstruation, Strenuous exercise, Stress
-
DefinitionsFever: Regulated elevation of core body temperature 0.5 higher than normal, accommodated to the increased hypothalamic Set Point () in response to pyretic substances.
Hyperthermia: Pathological elevation of body temperature, characterized by overwhelmed thermoregulatory mechanisms (dysfunction of thermoregulatory center, impairment of heat-production or heat-loss), without changes of set point.
-
Examples for HyperthermiaLoss of regulation: central nervous system injury
Impairment of heat-loss: heliosisichthyosis
Excessive heat production: hyperthyroidism

IV. Pathophysiological basis of prevention and treatment1. Two-edge sword of fever
(1) Benefits of feverThe hypothalamus will not allow the temp to rise above 41.5C.WBCs work best and kill the most bacteria at 38-40C.Neutrophils make more superoxide anion, and there is more and increased activity of IFN.Coxsackie and polio virus replication is directly inhibited.
(2) Harmful aspectsCatabolismCell deathAbnormalityMicroenvironment imbalance

Case Study 1A girl of 2 years old was sent to hospital for fever and angina 3 days, and convulsion half an hour. In the morning of 3 days ago, the girl was feeling cold and shivering, the skin was pale and covered with goose flesh. She had fever at night and could not sleep, with dysphoria and headache. She was sleepy the next day, and sometimes with nausea and vomitting. Half hours before admission, she had convulsion suddenly.

Discussion 11. What stages of fever did the patient display? Whats the manifestations in each stage?
2. Would the body temperature continue to increase if the girl hadnt been to hospital? Why?
3. Was the therapy correct

Case Study 2 He was given antibiotic.
During transfusion, the patient suffer from chilly, shake, dysphoria and tempreture rose to 41.3, 120/min, R 24/min,
Dexamethasone intravenous injection

Discussion 21.What pathogenic mechanism account for this patients fever?
2.Why the patient shown chilly, shake, dysphoria and temperature rose more?
