1 brain embolism: If a blood clot travels to the brain, this causes an ischemic stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack).  retinal embolism: Small clots that wouldn't block a major artery can block the smaller blood vessels feeding the retina at the back of the eye. The result is usually sudden blindness in one eye.
At air temperatures between 14 and 30 degrees C, metabolic rate and body temperature decreased with air temperature, and metabolic rate showed an exponential relationship with body temperature (r2 = 0.74).The Q10 for metabolic rate was between 2 and 3 over the body temperature range of 16 to 32 degrees C.owever, the apparent conductance decreased with air temperature. At air temperatures below 14 degrees C, metabolic rate increased linearly with the decrease of air temperature (r2 = 0.58) and body temperature was maintained above 16 degrees C, largely independent of air temperature.
METHODS: Data on pulse, temperature, respiratory rate and age were collected from attendances to two children's ED in the UK between 2003 and 2006.Triage observations as documented at the time were collated and analysed. RESULTS: Data on a total of 63 857 attendances were examined, 31 851 with complete data.ONCLUSION: Body temperature is an independent determinant of heart rate, causing an increase of approximately 10 beats per minute per degree centigrade. Body temperature is also an independent determinant of respiratory rate.
