Objective: To assess the potential of measurements of pH, exudate composition and
temperature in wounds to predict healing outcomes and to identify the methods that are …

In this chapter, the nuance of body temperature is explored in the context of contemporary
clinical medicine and technology. It takes the reader through the concept of body and shell …

Objective: The aim of this study was to measure wound pH, wound temperature and wound
size together to gain further understanding of their impact as predictors of wound healing …

Abstract Introduction Hand‐held Doppler (HHD) sonography and computerized tomography
angiography (CTA) are the common assessment tools for deep inferior epigastric perforator …

Aim To elucidate the infrared thermal patterns and temperature readings of the surfaces of
surgical wounds for detecting delayed wound healing within four days after surgery …

Background Prophylactic antibiotics are commonly prescribed intra-operatively after
caesarean section birth, often at high doses. Even so, wound infections are not uncommon …

Introduction: Caesarean section (CS) is the most prevalent surgical procedure in women.

Objective: To assess the usefulness of skin surface infrared thermography (SSIT) as a
prognostic tool in the treatment of stages III and IV pressure ulcers (PU), with …

Objective: To develop and refine qualitative mapping and quantitative analysis techniques to
define 'thermal territories' of the post-partum abdomen, the caesarean section site and the …

Background. Available statistical data from 2015 show that 28% of pregnancies in
