Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Body temperature can be measured easily and precisely at home, yet is seldomused as a tool to diagnose or follow-up patients except to measure fever.Body temperature changes depending on the time and space where it is measured.Both deep body temperature and skin temperature have marked circadian rhythms,the phases of which are almost 180 degree out of phase.The former is driven by the biological clock entrained to the light-dark cycle and the latter synchronized with the sleep-wake cycle.Dissociation often causes insomnia.Deep body temperature measurement also applied for the diagnosis and follow-up of the peripheral vasucular diseases by comparing temperature of af-fected and unaffected sites.In this study,body temperature measured by thermistor,deep body thermometer and radiation thermometer in normal subjects and patients were analysed,and problems in long- term home monitoring were discussed.
