High Impact: Infrared Imaging for Temperature Measurement

With coronavirus and COVID-19 dominating all media outlets, it is increasingly difficult to imagine what life was like prior to this burgeoning crisis.  What is not difficult to envision are the most common symptoms, with cough and fever being the most prevalent according to available data.  A cough can be seen and heard but what about increased body temperature? That is a different matter entirely.  In the quest to identify, treat, and eliminate the spread of the virus, fever detection and screening has been all the rage at airports, transportation hubs, and hospitals around the world.  As a result, many facilities have implemented thermal imaging technology assist in this endeavor.   It is fast, painless, and can reduce contact with the individual being tested, making it a very attractive option in these challenging times.

Dysautonomia

Dysautonomia broadly refers to a problem with the autonomic nervous system, or ANS. The ANS is a special portion of the nervous system which is integral in the body’s maintenance of homeostasis, or “steady state”.  The ANS controls functions of the body that occur automatically.  These functions are typically outside the domain of the peripheral and central nervous system.  For example, heart rate, respiratory rate, bowel motility, bladder contractility, pupil size, skin temperature and sweating are all modulated by the ANS.

Understanding Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD/CRPS) and its Treatment

Understanding Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD/CRPS) and its Treatment.

If you’ve ever injured your arm or leg, you’ll be familiar with the sharp, often agonizing pain of the initial damage, which then becomes more of a burning sensation. The two kinds of pain originate from separate parts of your nervous system; the sharp pain from the fast pain fibers, and then the burning pain from the sympathetic nerve fibers. As the initial pain starts to ease and healing begins, the injury will be tender and feel bruised, but the initial sharp and burning pain should subside. If the burning sensation carries on, however, it could be due to Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), which is also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
