Sauna use as a lifestyle practice to extend healthspan
2021, Experimental GerontologyCitation Excerpt :Emerging evidence suggests that whole-body hyperthermia is beneficial in treating depression (Janssen et al., 2016). Whole-body hyperthermia employs radiation, convection, or conduction and is typically administered in the clinical setting using a variety of methods, such as the use of direct contact with a heated liquid (such as water or wax), hot blankets or suits, heating coils, or specialized lamps that emit infrared-A radiation in a confined area or chamber (Jia and Liu, 2010; Milligan, 1984; Robins et al., 1994). Exposure to high temperature stresses the body, eliciting a rapid, robust response that affects primarily the skin and cardiovascular systems (Fig. 1).
Evaluation on the capacity of selectively heating vessel-rich-skin to realize noninvasive whole body hyperthermia
2010, International Journal of Thermal SciencesCitation Excerpt :Through introducing blood circulation into a heat transfer device extracorporally, extra-corporal techniques (EWBH) was proved to be effective in attaining the target temperature but are associated with excess danger. In recent years, a radiative approach (RWBH) by microwave [6] and infrared [7–9] is proved to be safe in a number of phase I/II-trials and represents a promising modality that can be recommended for inducing WBH. However, irradiative approaches are inherently too cumbersome for precise temperature control and rapid induction.
Comprehensive evaluation on the heating capacities of four typical whole body hyperthermia strategies via compartmental model

2002, Annals of OncologyCitation Excerpt :Whole-body hyperthermia was administered by a humidified radiant heat device (RHS-7500; Enthermics Medical Systems, Inc., Menomonee Falls, WI, USA), exposing the patient to a low-density radiant heat while preventing evaporative heat loss. The radiant heat system for delivering WBH has been previously described in detail [32, 33] the only difference being that our system uses an array of thermocabeling instead of a technology using circulating hot water in a cylinder constructed from copper tubing. A hyperthermia treatment session was defined as raising the patient’s core temperature to 41.8°C.
