A gellan-based fluid gel carrier to enhance topical spray delivery
2019, Acta BiomaterialiaCitation Excerpt :Spreading as a result of the thermo-reversible nature of the gellan gels was also probed, in respect to temperatures associated with burns wounds. Average peripheral skin temperatures lie around 34 °C [50], but can vary greatly in critically ill patients, especially following burn injuries p < 0.001 when room and body temperatures are deliberately increased [50,51]. Upon heating, the gels showed weakening of the interactions between the particles as demonstrated by a reduction in G’ at a critical temperature, Tc (Fig. 4b).
Skin temperature and core-peripheral temperature gradient as markers of hemodynamic status in critically ill patients: A Review
2010, Heart and Lung: Journal of Acute and Critical CareCitation Excerpt :Sympathetic nervous system stimulation in response to pain or anxiety may also increase systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and thus cool extremities and increase temperature gradients.28 Alternatively, hypoperfusion may coexist with warm skin temperature, eg, excessive vasodilation subsequent to the hyperdynamic phase of sepsis, anaphylaxis, and neurogenic shock.28,34,35 Peripheral temperature may then be more appropriately viewed as a reflection of vascular status than of cardiac function.36
