Publisher's Synopsis
This volume constitutes a comprehensive survey of current research into disorders of thermoregulation. The 35 reports provide access to worldwide investigations on thermoregulation and its disorders consequent to disease, adverse environments, ageing and drug administration (including drug abuse). Major topics addressed include problems related to general anaesthesia, thermoregulatory complaints in the menopause, mechanisms and management of fever and dangers associated with cold exposure.;The book is designed as a source for physiologists, pharmacologists and neuroscientists who must increasingly recognize thermoregulatory changes as confounding factors in many aspects of experimental investigation. It also offers clinicians concerned with the management and prevention of disorders of temperature regulation much practical information.
