Band cells are the immature form of neutrophils and are produced rapidly during an infection. A large percentage of band cells in a venous blood sample indicate an infectious process occurring in the body.
Sensitivity to temperature is a skin sense that is related to the human need to maintain internal temperature balance or thermal homeostasis. Temperature sensitivity is important in protecting one's self from intense temperature that may cause damage to the body.
Therapeutic hyperthermia is an induced local or general body increase in temperature. It is a treatment sometimes used on tumors and infections. Hypothermia If heat loss exceeds the ability of the body to produce the heat, body temperature decreases below normal levels. Hypothermia is a decrease in body temperature to 35 degrees C (95 Degree F) or below. Hypothermia usually results from prolonged exposure to cold environments.
