10 Factors Affecting the Human Body Temperature

Image
Examination of the body temperature will signal that the core temperature is strictly controlled because it can be affected by chemical reactions. Examination of body temperature can be done in several places, namely: Armpits (axila). Mouth. Anus. Standard values to determine normal human body temperature is divided into four, namely: Hypothermia, when the body temperature less than 36 ° C. To measure the temperature of hypothermia, thermometer required size is low (low reading thermometer), which can measure up to 25 degrees Celsius. Normally, when the body temperature ranges between 36.5 to 37.5 ° C. Febrile / pyrexia / summer, when the body temperature above 37.5 to 40 ° C. Hyperthermia, when the body temperature of over 40 ° C. Factors that affect the temperature of the human body can be described as follows: 1. Basal Metabolism Speed Basal metabolic rate of each individual is different. It affects the amount of heat produced by the body becomes different. As mentioned in the previ...

Physical Examination for patients with Hydatidiform Mole

Molar pregnancy is an abnormal form of pregnancy, wherein a non-viable, fertilized egg implants in the uterus, and thereby converts normal pregnancy processes into pathological ones. It is characterized by the presence of a hydatidiform mole (or hydatid mole, mola hydatidosa). Molar pregnancies are categorized into partial and complete moles. Physical Examination for patients with Hydatidiform Mole Inspection Inspection is a systematic process of observation is not limited to vision but also includes the sense of hearing and smell. Observe the skin of color, discoloration, lacerations, lesions of the drainage, the depth of our breathing patterns and symmetry, body language, movement and posture, use of the limb, the presence of physical limitations, and so on. Palpation Palpation is touching or pressing the outer surface of the body with fingers. The touch: felt a swelling, record temperature, humidity and degree of skin texture or to determine the strength of uterine contractions. ...
