“…In this study we used a specially designed computerized system to monitor not only scrotal temperatures of young males but also skin surface temperatures from the thigh and supra‐pubic area as well. The regional differences reported here are in good general agreement with the skin temperature distribution map revealed by infra‐ red colour photography (7) and the pioneering studies of Talbot (8) conducted more than 70 years ago. We found that the warmest areas were in the scrotal area and then diminished as you moved towards the extremities.…”

In this study, we have clearly shown that scrotal temperatures are the same whether the child is wearing disposable or reusable cloth diapers with a protective cover. The only situation in which scrotal temperatures were found to be lower is when the cloth diaper is used alone without a protective cover but this is not representative of how these products are actually used. We also found that on average scrotal temperatures are significantly lower than core for each diaper type. Occasionally, we did see individuals in which the maximal scrotal temperatures approached core temperatures but in every case the thermal sensors were soiled by a bowel movement. We also found that skin surface temperatures increased not only when covered by a diaper but also due to the thermal insulation provided by outer garments and blankets.

“…Indeed, nursing observations of untreated subject 1 report cutaneous erythema and suspected heat intolerance during a very hot day. The present findings, therefore, reaffirm the value of early diagnosis and dietotherapy in phenylketonuria (9,23), as evidenced by the normal temperature-regulating ability (22,25) of the present treated, as compared with the untreated, subjects. This conclusion is further supported by the lack of history of heat or cold intolerance in these treated PKUs.…”

“…I). The values of the variables measured in the treated PKUs were within the normal range for their age group (22,25) in this thermoneutral environment. Between the two untreated PKUs, only the finger-pad blood flow of subject 1 was significantly smaller than that of the treated group.…”

“…Adae (1876) recorded a decrease in the temperature of the closed hand during walking. Benedict & Parmenter (1929) and Talbot (1931) found a reduction of skin temperature immediately after exercise particularly in the trunk. Most of these experiments involved fairly prolonged exercise and sweating may well have interfered with their results.…”
