Physiotherapy is a critical area of healthcare that involves the assessment and treatment of physical disabilities and injuries. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in physiotherapy has gained significant attention due to its potential to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of clinical decision-making and treatment outcomes. Nevertheless, it is still a rather innovative field of application of these techniques and there is a need to find what aspects are highly developed and what possible job niches can be exploited...

This study aimed to explore the mechanism of cooking intensity on the tenderness of stir-fried pork slices from the perspective of the changes in temperature distribution. Infrared thermal imaging was used to monitor the distribution of temperature. Results showed that the high-level heat (HH) treatment could improve tenderness. When the center temperature increased to 100 °C, the shear force of samples from the low-level heat (LH) group increased by around 3-fold, and HH reduced this upward trend...

We developed a broadband two-layer anti-reflection (AR) coating for use on a sapphire half-wave plate (HWP) and an alumina infrared (IR) filter for the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimetry. Measuring the faint CMB B-mode signals requires maximizing the number of photons reaching the detectors and minimizing spurious polarization due to reflection with an off-axis incident angle. Sapphire and alumina have high refractive indices of 3.1 and are highly reflective without an AR coating. This paper presents the design, fabrication, quality control, and measured performance of an AR coating using thermally sprayed mullite and Duroid 5880LZ...

Temperature measurements in biological tissues play a crucial role in studying metabolic activities. In this study, we introduce a noninvasive thermometry technique based on two-color ultrasound-switchable fluorescence (USF). This innovative method allows for a local temperature mapping within a microtube filled with temperature-sensitive liposomes as nano imaging agents. By measuring the temperature-dependent fluorescence emission of the liposomes using a spectrometer, we identify four characteristic temperatures...

Herein, guided by the results of density functional theory prediction, the study rationally designs a hollow core-shell FeNi2 S4 @ZnIn2 S4 (FNS@ZIS) Step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction for photocatalytic H2 evolution with photothermal-assisted. The hollow FNS spheres offered substrate for coating the ZIS nanosheets, which can inhibit ZIS nanosheets from agglomerating into pellet, enrich the active site, increase specific surfaces, and raise the light absorption. Notably, due to its excellent photothermal properties, FNS core generated heat unceasingly inside under visible-light irradiation and effectively prevent the heat loss of the reaction system, which increased the local temperature of photocatalysts and thus accelerated the charge migration...

BACKGROUND: : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a unique thermogenic tissue in mammals mediated by uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). The energy generated by glucose and triglyceride metabolism is released and transmitted throughout the body as heat. Understanding the factors influencing BAT function is crucial to determine its metabolic significance and effects on overall health. Although studies have shown that electroacupuncture (EA) at specific acupoints (e.g., ST36) can stimulate BAT, its effects at other acupoints are not well understood...

The microstructure of the in situ TiC-reinforced composite surface layers developed during laser surface alloying of a ductile cast iron substrate with titanium was related to the solidification conditions in the molten pool. The solidification conditions were estimated using infrared thermography. It was found that the cooling rates of the melt up to about 700 °C/s enable the complete reaction between carbon and the entire amount of titanium introduced into the molten pool. In turn, the cooling rate of about 280 °C/s for the melt containing 8...

Heat stress is a condition that can affect the health, performance, and welfare of farm animals. The perception of thermal stress leads to the activation of the autonomic nervous system to start a series of physiological and behavioral mechanisms to restore thermostability. One of these mechanisms is vasodilation of peripheral blood vessels to increase heat loss through the skin. Due to this aspect, infrared thermography has been suggested as a method to assess the thermal state of animals and predict rectal temperature values noninvasively...

BACKGROUND:  The versatile musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap and the thoracodorsal artery (TDA) perforator flap have developed into indispensable approaches in reconstructive surgery. While the anatomy of the TDA is consistent, the skin perforators vary in location and course. Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) recently gained popularity for perforator identification; however, its use and accuracy in thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) mapping is yet to be determined...

This study aimed to determine whether heat stress affected the values and correlations of metabolic, endocrinological, and inflammatory parameters as well as the rectal and body surface temperature of cows in the early and middle stages of lactation. This experiment was conducted in May (thermoneutral period), June (mild heat stress), and July (moderate to severe heat stress). In each period we included 15 cows in early lactation and 15 in mid-lactation. The increase in rectal and body surface temperatures (°C) in moderate to severe heat stress compared to the thermoneutral period in different regions was significant ( p < 0...

Effects of Venturia inaequalis on water relations of apple leaves were studied under controlled conditions without limitation of water supply to elucidate its impact on the non-haustorial biotrophy of this pathogen. Leaf water relations - leaf water content, transpiration - were spatially resolved by hyperspectral imaging and thermography; non-imaging techniques - gravimetry, pressure chamber, porometer - were used for calibration and validation. Reduced stomatal transpiration 3 to 4 days after inoculation coincided with a transient increase of water potential...

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a highly prevalent multi pathogen infectious disease (70-80%) in newly received feedlot cattle, causing significant economic losses and reduced animal welfare. Current BRD diagnosis involves stressful and invasive methods that can increase the incidence and transmission of BRD. An alternative is the use of an automated infrared thermography (IR) platform that can monitor facial temperature and behaviour traits to diagnose BRD in a non-invasive manner. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of fidget and drinking behaviours in conjunction with facial temperature as method of BRD diagnosis in beef calves...

INTRODUCTION: There is a lack of data on the use of thermography for elbow joint inflammation assessment among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Hence, we aimed to compare thermography with ultrasonography (a more established imaging modality for joint inflammation assessment) in the assessment of inflammation in the elbows of patients with RA. METHODS: Standardised minimum (Tmin), maximum (Tmax) and average (Tavg) temperatures at each elbow (medial, lateral, posterior and anterior aspects) were summed to obtain the thermographic parameters MIN, MAX and AVG, respectively...

When an organism detects decreases in their core body temperature, the hypothalamus, the main thermoregulatory center, triggers compensatory responses. These responses include vasomotor changes to prevent heat loss and physiological mechanisms (e.g., shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis) for heat production. Both types of changes require the participation of peripheral thermoreceptors, afferent signaling to the spinal cord and hypothalamus, and efferent pathways to motor and/or sympathetic neurons. The present review aims to analyze the scientific evidence of the hypothalamic control of hypothermia and the central and peripheral changes that are triggered in domestic animals...
