A Comparative Study on Nasopharyngeal and Peripheral Skin Temperature in Critically Ill Patients
Abstract: Skin temperature measurement is an easy and convenient method of temperature measurement, but there is no consensus about its agreement with core temperature. Objective of this study was to compare the skin temperature measurement with the nasopharyngeal temperature (NP) measurement in critically ill patients. It was a prospective comparative study. A total of 280 (140 skin temperature and 140 NP) temperature measurements were obtained from 35 adult ICU patients. The …

Cross-layer Solutions in WSN Routing: A Review
Abstract: WSN is a less infrastructure wireless network which is embedded with large number of Sensor Nodes (SN). Its ad-hoc manner of device distribution allows it to monitor conditions under physical and environmental scenarios. Typically, SNs in WSN are installed in a specified geographical location to monitor required information. Due to SNs’ self-configuring ability, the exploitation of target is simpler. Though, its functioning is limited with factors such as energy efficiency, …
