    consisted of 48 full-term infants. The key findings showed most infants reached and maintained temperatures between 36.5 and 37.6 degrees Celsius‚ the thermo neutral range‚ with only rare exceptions. Problem Statement The research problem is thermoregulation in newborn infants. The purpose of the research study is to find out if Kangaroo‚ or skin-to-skin contact‚ facilitates safe temperatures in newborn infants during the first few minutes and hours after birth‚ specifically during breastfeeding

    The American physiologist Walter Cannon used the term Homeostasis to describe the body’s ability to maintain a constant stable internal environment despite the changes to the external surrounding1‚2. The body has a range of receptors these are used to constantly monitor the body’s internal conditions to keep them in physiological limits. To achieve this‚ every organ works together and thus the body works together as a whole. This requires body to communicate with the organs‚ this is established through

    leaves are critical to plant growth and survival‚ it is assumed that the variation in leaf shape represents an adaptive consequence caused by natural selection. Although previous research shows leaf shape variation is possibly related to plant thermoregulation (Parkhurst & Loucks‚ 1972; Taylor et al.‚ 1975; Givnish et al.‚ 1984; Schuepp‚ 1993)‚ herbivore preference (Brown & Lawton‚ 1991)‚ water balance (Schuepp‚ 1993; Jones‚ 1995)‚ and resistance to cold (Campitelli & Stinchcombe‚ 2013)‚ the current

    It has long been believed that humankind owes its survival to bipedalism‚ which is the ability to walk on two legs. This is the first human characteristic to distinguish human from other primates. It is habitual‚ meaning that it is their primary form of transportation. This characteristic thrived in a time where forests were shrinking and the environment consisted wide grasslands and sparse woodland. The feature of bipedal locomotion lead hominids to manipulate their surroundings‚ bypassing their

Pre optic area is important for its role in reproductive neuroendocrinology so the neurons‚ which are going to control the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis are to a large extent located here.

    1. PHOTOPLETHYSMOGRAPHY Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a simple and low-cost optical technique that can be used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue (1). Pulse Photoplethysmography was introduced to the world by Hertzman in the year 1938. It is a noninvasive technique that makes use of light source and a detector. The change in blood volume is synchronous to heart beat and hence this method can indirectly measure heart rate. PPG has been used to assess skin

    kangaroo care improves the mothers feelings towards the baby‚ makes the mother more sensitive and attached to the baby and promotes positive loving behaviors to her infant. In the newborn baby‚ kangaroo care decreases the incidence of having thermoregulation problems‚ problems with breastfeeding and an unstable heart rate‚ there is a decreased risk of apnea‚ and bradycardia and it promotes a faster/healthier growth rate in the infant. In both the mother and the infant‚ the benefits include a shorter

    The primary diagnosis of my patient is prematurity‚ she was born at 36 weeks and is considered a late preterm infant. Late preterm infants are at an increased risk for early death and long- term health problems when compared with infants who are born full term (Alden‚ 2012‚ p. 780). Late preterm are also at greater risk for complications such as respiratory distress and are more likely to be hospitalized longer and require intensive care. In addition‚ preterm infants are at risk because their

    control its heat loss. The regulation of body temperature is the role of the hypothalamus. It sends nerve impulses to muscles‚ sweat glands and skin blood vessels to cause changes that counteract the external changes - the skin is the main organ of thermoregulation. Our body also responds to temperature change (heat loss/gain). This is shown when we are cooling down as the metabolism speeds up‚ we shiver to produce heat and we experience vasoconstrictions which is the blood diverting through the lower
