Source: Hamna J. Qureshi and Craig J. Goergen, Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana Here we will highlight the key similarities and differences of noninvasive blood pressure measurement techniques between humans and rodents and examine the engineering principles that govern blood pressure. The principles that govern current cuff technology to acquire systolic and diastolic pressures will also be discussed. Commercially available cuffs that connect...

A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder. Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Glass-bulb Thermometer: Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

FAQs
Infrared thermography relies on sensors that detect infrared radiation emitted from the skin. The measured radiation intensity is converted into a temperature estimate rather than a direct reading from internal tissue. This makes the output useful for tracking changes over time, while reminding investigators that the result represents a surface-based estimate.
These factors can change how accurately emitted infrared radiation corresponds to the estimated temperature. Surface emissivity describes how the measured surface emits radiation, while distance and surrounding conditions affect the recorded signal. Controlling or accounting for these variables helps investigators distinguish physiological temperature changes from variation introduced by the measurement environment.
Temperature measurements can help identify fever or localized inflammation, both of which may accompany physiological responses to pathogens. Repeated readings can show whether thermal changes persist, shift, or change during an intervention. These observations provide a physiological layer of evidence that can be considered alongside microbiological, cellular, and molecular analyses.
Researchers can collect temperature measurements repeatedly while monitoring a pathogen-related condition or a treatment response. The resulting time-dependent thermal data can be compared with other study findings to assess physiological change without disrupting the skin. This approach is particularly useful when the experimental design benefits from monitoring the same subject or tissue over time.
The approach is useful when investigators need rapid, repeated monitoring of body or tissue temperature. In clinical settings, it can contribute to observation of fever or inflammatory changes, while laboratory studies can use it to follow thermal responses associated with pathogens or treatment. Its value increases when combined with complementary biological measurements.
Thermal measurements should be treated as complementary physiological evidence rather than as a replacement for microbiological, cellular, or molecular analyses. A change in measured temperature may indicate fever, localized inflammation, or a treatment-associated response, but interpretation also depends on measurement accuracy and conditions such as emissivity, distance, and ambient environment.
