Summary: This study aimed to observe temperature variations in dogs undergoing MRI under general anesthesia. The results showed that dogs undergoing MRI usually experience a decrease in body temperature, but for larger dogs with more fur, an increase in body temperature is possible, although clinically insignificant in most cases.

Summary: This study calculates the heat generated by nanomagnets in an alternating magnetic field and analyzes its transfer to the hosting medium and environment. The heat generated by the nanomagnets is computed using the ac susceptibility, while the heat loss to the environment is modeled using a balance equation based on Newton's law of cooling. The effects of the alternating magnetic field frequency and amplitude on temperature elevation are investigated, and the behavior of Newton's heat transfer coefficient is discussed based on experimental data. The results could contribute to the development of more accurate models for heat generation and diffusion in ferrofluids used in magnetic hyperthermia.

Summary: Rectal temperature was found to be associated with mortality in client-owned guinea pigs presenting to a veterinary hospital. Hypothermic guinea pigs had a significantly higher risk of death within 7 days of presentation, with odds of death increasing with each decrease in rectal temperature. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of this finding, highlighting the importance of obtaining rectal temperature recordings for patient guinea pigs.

Summary: The study focused on highly uniform magnetic nanoparticles with a core-shell nanoarchitecture, exploring their water dispersion and heating efficiency in different magnetic field frequencies. It revealed complex variations in the heating efficiency of core-shell MNPs, indicating that the competition between the Brown and Neel mechanisms governs the heat release. Rational parameters such as the mean magnetic moment per MNP were identified as key factors influencing the heating ability.

Summary: This study developed a temperature-based re-optimization strategy and compared its predicted effectiveness with clinically applied protocol/experience-based steering. The results showed that the re-optimization strategy effectively suppressed hot spots without affecting tumor temperatures, similar to clinical steering. Implementing these strategies can significantly improve the overall treatment quality within hyperthermia centers.

Summary: The recommended treatment for exertional heat stroke is immediate, whole-body immersion in water of <10°C until the rectal temperature reaches ≤ 38.6°C. Real-time T-re assessment may not always be possible in field settings or emergency situations. This study defines and validates immersion durations for treating exertional heat stroke at water temperatures of 2-26°C.

Summary: The magneto-thermal effect, which converts magnetostatic energy to heat from magnetic materials, has potential therapeutic usage in hyperthermia treatments. However, the limited heating from magnetic nanoparticles has challenged its realization. This study explores a new concept of magneto-thermal modality with fast resonant spin-excitation for efficient heat generation and wireless controllability.

Summary: The study introduces a novel live cell cancer vaccine that induces immunogenic cell death through photothermal effect, releasing tumor-associated antigens to stimulate systemic anti-tumor immune response. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of the vaccine in breast cancer immunoprophylaxis and immunotherapy.

Summary: By using nonionic poly(acrylamide-co-acrylonitrile) with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) and inverse emulsification, self-localizing microcages were created. These microcages exhibited phase transition at approximately 40 degrees C and underwent expansion-fusion-fission cycles under mild temperature hyperthermia. With the ability for simultaneous release of drugs, these smart microcages can be utilized for tumor starving therapy, tumor chemotherapy, and imaging.

Summary: This paper presents control system design techniques for temperature control in Magnetic Fluid hyperthermia. The research aims to design a cost-effective and efficient temperature controller for this therapy, which is being studied as an alternative to radiation and chemotherapy for cancer treatment. The novelty of this research lies in applying the non-linear control technique of Sliding Mode Control (SMC) to accurately control the temperature. The results show that SMC has promising performance in terms of settling time and rise time, and can effectively reduce steady state error.

Summary: This study investigates the temperature distribution within a tumor after the injection of magnetic nanoparticles using a theoretical model and numerical simulations. The results show that the temperature distribution depends on particle size, injection concentration, and dose, and the optimal hyperthermia results can be achieved by considering intermediate radius nanoparticles, high injection dose, and concentrations.

Summary: This study demonstrates the feasibility and potential therapeutic effects of using 13.56 MHz modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) boost in neoadjuvant treatment for rectal cancer. It also suggests that mEHT could be a useful tool in combination treatment with radiotherapy due to its low thermotoxicity and improved treatment compliance.

Summary: The temperature-based Henssge method for death time estimation may not be reliable when there is a sudden change in ambient temperature. In the study, it was found that bodies tended to cool down slower in cooling storage than predicted by back-calculation, leading to significant discrepancies between calculated and actual body temperatures. The proposed method should be used with caution in addressing changes in ambient temperature.
