title: [Computerized dynamic endothermography of the gastrointestinal mucosa as an indirect index of the state of vascularization of the abdominal organs. A preliminary note].
abstract: Computerized Dynamic Endothermy (CDE) has been applied to the evaluation of the gastroenteric microcirculation. This new method enables mucosal temperature changes to be detected in a dynamic and functional way. With preventive induction of a temperature change (cold stimulus), the instrument measures the time required for the establishment of previous mucosal temperature. Computerized data are displayed in the form of a time/temperature curve. Results obtained on rabbits showed, during ischaemic conditions, a greater reduction of gastric layer temperature during cold stimulus than in basal conditions, followed by a slower return to basal temperature during the recovery time.
