Telemetry measured body temperature of domestic fowl at various ambient temperatures.

Adult, male Single Comb White Leghorn chickens (SCWL) were housed unrestrained in individual cages in a controlled environment room with a photoperiod of 12L:12D. By means of surgically implanted radio transmitter, body temperatures were recorded hourly for five consecutive days at each of six experimental temperatures: 23, 26, 29, 32, 35, and 38 C. The data were evaluated statistically by correlogram, periodogram, and harmonic analysis. Period length of each cycle was about 24 hr at all ambient temperatures. No significant differences in deep body temperature were observed until the ambient temperature reached 32 C; but highly significant increases were detected between 32, 35, and 38 C. Diurnal differences in body temperature ranged from .6 to 1.1 C. It has been suggested that the body temperature of male chicken may be under the control of a biological clock that synchronizes with the solar day.

A strategy for responding to the training needs of nursing staff in a new cardiac/neurosurgical ICU and telemetry unit.

The decision of the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) to expand its capacity to care for acute cardiac surgical and neurosurgical patients resulted in the need for an education and training program for a large group of nursing staff. In such situations, where an existing service is being expanded or a new service initiated, nursing education departments must quickly devise simple and cost-effective mechanisms to promote the competency of nursing staff. Nurse educators, staff nurses, nurse managers, and clinical nurse specialists all play a role in planning and implementing the relevant education and evaluation program. BWH chose to recruit temporary special projects staff nurses to address these increased educational needs.
