  1. Medical Physics Chapter (3) Hot &cold in medicine

  2. Heat Therapy Two primary therapeutic effects take place in a heated area: • 1- There is an increase in metabolismالأيض) )مجموع • العمليات المتصلة ببناء البروتوبلازماresulting in a relaxation • of the capillary systemالشعيرات الدموية • 2- There is an increase in blood flow as blood moves in to cool the heated area.

  3. The relaxation and increased blood flow are beneficial • to damaged tissue, although the details of the • therapeutic action are not well understood. • In this section we briefly consider the physical methods • of producing heat in the body, these methods are • (A)Conductive heating, • (B)Infrared (IR) radiant heating, • (C)Radiowaveheating (diathermy)and العلاج بالانفاذالحراري • 1- Short wave 2- Microwave • (D)Ultrasonic wave heating (ultrasonic diathermy).

  4. [A] The ConductiveMethod • The conductive method is based on the physical • fact that if two objects at different temperatures • are placed in contact, heat will transfer by • conduction from the warmer object to the cooler one. • The total heat transferred will depend upon • (1)the area of contact (2) the temperature difference, • (3) the time of contact (4) the thermal conductivity of • the materials (k).

  5. Hot baths, hot packs, electric heating pads بطانية, and • occasionally hot paraffin applied to the skin , heat the • body by conduction. • Conductive heat transfer leads to local surface • heating since the circulating blood effectively • removes heat that penetratesdeep into the tissue. • Conductive heating is used in treating conditions • such as arthritisإلتهاب المفاصل , neuritis إلتهاب العصب , • sprains إلتواء المفصل بعنف and strains توتر, • contusionsرضة , sinusitis التهاب الجيبand back pain.

  16. Use of Cold in Medicine • Cryogenics is the science and technology of producing • and using very low temperatures. • cryobiology : is the study of low temperature effects • in biology and medicine. • It is an active research area. Liquid air (-196 °C) was • produced in 1877; liquid helium (-269 °C) was produced • in 1908 • Dewar Container for Cryogenic Fluids • The storage of cryogenic fluids has always been a • problem. • Most ordinary liquid-storage containers are • unsatisfactory because they absorb a large amount • of heat by conduction, convection and radiation.

  17. A significant improvement is the insulated container • developed by James Dewar in 1962 and named after • him. • This container is made of; glass or thin stainless • steel to minimize conductive losses. • It has a vacuum space to essentially eliminate • convective losses, and the sides are silvered or • polished so that radiation striking the surface is • reflected rather than absorbed. • The container resembles the familiar Thermos bottle • used to store hot and cold drinks. • Dewar vessels with capacities of over 100,000 liters • have been made.
