Model of local temperature changes in brain upon functional activation.

Experimental results for changes in brain temperature during functional activation show large variations. It is, therefore, desirable to develop a careful numerical model for such changes. Here, a three-dimensional model of temperature in the human head using the bioheat equation, which includes effects of metabolism, perfusion, and thermal conduction, is employed to examine potential temperature changes due to functional activation in brain. It is found that, depending on location in brain and corresponding baseline temperature relative to blood temperature, temperature may increase or decrease on activation and concomitant increases in perfusion and rate of metabolism. Changes in perfusion are generally seen to have a greater effect on temperature than are changes in metabolism, and hence active brain is predicted to approach blood temperature from its initial temperature. All calculated changes in temperature for reasonable physiological parameters have magnitudes <0.12 degrees C and are well within the range reported in recent experimental studies involving human subjects.

[The hot summer of 2003: heat stroke in Maastricht].

Two male patients, 46 and 62 years of age, were brought to the emergency department on a hot summer's day. Both wore excessive clothing. The first patient had a temperature of 43 degrees C and was comatose. Heteroanamnesis indicated that he was suffering from schizophrenia. Although the prognosis seemed to be poor, his condition improved after treatment in intensive care, consisting of cooling and supportive treatment, but the patient had considerable permanent neurological impairment. The second patient had a temperature of 40.3 degrees C, was confused and had an atactic gait. He was cooled immediately and recovered swiftly without complications. Heat stroke is a life-threatening illness, which is defined as a body temperature above 40 degrees C and central nervous-system dysfunction. Heat stroke may be attended by many serious complications, including multi-organ failure and residual brain damage. Prompt recognition and rapid treatment, consisting of adequate cooling, are required.
