TLDR
A controlled clinical study compared the effectiveness of sponging with tepid water, ice water, and equal parts of 70 per cent isopropyl alcohol and water in addition to orally administered acetaminophen to reduce fever in children.About:

Severe falciparum malaria in children: current understanding of pathophysiology and supportive treatment.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review discusses potential adjunctive therapies for severe malaria that are under development following such detailed clinical and pathophysiological studies, which is one of the most lethal parasitic infections in the world and responsible for more than one million deaths in African children per year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of fever in the neurologic intensive care unit with a catheter-based heat exchange system.
TL;DR: The addition of this catheter-based cooling system to conventional management significantly improves fever reduction in neurologic intensive care unit patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Over-the-counter analgesics and antipyretics: a critical assessment.
TL;DR: Although all of the OTC analgesic/antipyretic agents seem to share a common mechanism of prostaglandin inhibition, there are important differences in their pharmacology, efficacy, and side-effect profiles.

The importance of brain temperature in patients after severe head injury: relationship to intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, cerebral blood flow, and outcome.

TL;DR: Simultaneous monitoring of brain and rectal temperature provides important diagnostic and prognostic information to guide the treatment of patients after severe head injury and the wide differentials that can develop between the brain and core temperature, especially during rapid cooling, strongly supports the use of brain temperature measurement if therapeutic hypothermia is considered for head injury care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyperthermia and fever control in brain injury
TL;DR: Data support that the impact of fever is sustained for longer durations after subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury, and prospective randomized trials are needed to determine whether the beneficial impact of secondary injury prevention is outweighed by the potential risks of prolonged fever control.

The probability integrals of the range and of the studentized range. probability integral and percentage points of the studentized range; critical values for duncan's new multiple range test
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report critical values (to four significant figures) which have been found by inverse interpolation in the new table of the probability integral of the studentized range.

Acute poisoning from use of isopropyl alcohol in tepid sponging.
TL;DR: This report illustrates the very real danger of such procedures as Rubbing alcohol is commonly used in hospitals for tepid sponging of febrile children, but little note has been made of the possible dangers inherent in the practice.
