Investigations ON CLINICAL THERMOMETRY : CONTINUOUS AND QUASI-CONTINUOUS TEMPERATURE RECORDS IN MAN AND ANIMALS IN HEALTH AND DISEASE.

Abstract

VALUE OF QUASI-CONTINUOUS TEMPERATURE RECORD METHOD IN STUDY OF TUBERCULOSIS. As illustrating the character of the temperature curves obtained from tuberculous patients we may take those obtained from patients treated at Addenbrooke's Hospital, at the Cambridge County Tuberculosis Dispensary, in sanatoria, or at one or other of the open-air colonies founded near Cambridge. We select these as here the patients could be kept under careful observation and any special treatment, reaction, and results noted at once; this allowed of their importance being properly appreciated. In Fig. 21 we have an exact reproduction, on a

“…Recent researches are reviewed by Deighton (28). Studies by Heiser and Cohen (58), Gessler (45), and Woodhead and Varrier-Jones (135) substantiate to a great extent the results of early investigators from Jiirgensen (67) to Benedict and Slack (10) in the determination of a diurnal curve with an early morning minimum and a late afternoon maximum.…”
