Enteritis ("enteron", small intestine) and -ιτις ("-itis", inflammation). Enteritis Enteritis is inflammation of the small intestine. It is most commonly caused by food or drink contaminated with pathogenic microbes, such as "serratia", but may have other causes such as NSAIDs, cocaine, radiation therapy as well as autoimmune conditions like Crohn's disease and coeliac disease. Symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhoea, dehydration, and fever. Related diseases of the gastrointestinal system include inflammation of the stomach and large intestine. Duodenitis, jejunitis and ileitis are subtypes of enteritis which are only localised to a specific part of the small intestine. Inflammation of both the
Thermoregulation in humans are impermeable to sweat and thus do not facilitate heat loss through evaporation can actually contribute to heat stress. Adjusting the human body temperature downward has been used therapeutically, in particular, as a method of stabilizing a body following trauma. It has been suggested that adjusting the A1 receptor of the hypothalamus may allow humans to enter a hibernation-like state of reduced body temperature, which could be useful for applications such as long-duration space flight. Humans output from 70 watts to 870 watts, depending on the amount of physical activity undertaken. Thermoregulation in humans As in other mammals, thermoregulation in
