TL;DR: It will be shown that because of the vasculature, and the large rate of blood perfusion, living biological tissues are fundamentally different from inert materials, Consequently, the familiar thermal properties can no longer be assumed to be independent of the parameters of the temperature field.

TL;DR: The present communication presents a single microprobe technique for measuring tissue thermal properties based on the dissipation of a measured amount of energy and the observation of the resulting temperature rise a given time later, which results were independent of the probe shape, size and properties.

TL;DR: A theoretical analysis of the recently developed thermal pulse decay (TPD) method for a simultaneous measurement of local tissue conductivity and blood perfusion rate is presented.

TL;DR: Cross-bred, anesthetized female swine were given intravascularly a lethal or toxic-sublethal dose of microcystin-LR (MCLR), from Microcystis aeruginosa, or the vehicle, and all high-dose swine experienced hyperkalemia, and most had severe hypoglycemia.

TL;DR: Results from this research are expected to provide a better understanding of the thermoregulatory behaviour in the canine prostate, and thus lay an important foundation for predicting tissue temperature in the human prostate during transurethral microwave hyperthermia.
