From: Relation between brain temperature and white matter damage in subacute carbon monoxide poisoning
Brain temperature (BT) in carbon monoxide (CO)-poisoned patients at the subacute phase.
The BT in subacute CO-poisoned patients was higher than the cut-off value of BT (38.3 °C) determined from a control group. The BT in the white matter damage (WMD) group, composed of patients who showed a fractional anisotropy value less than the cut-off value (0.374), was significantly lower than that in the non-WMD group. Black circles indicate patients who showed delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae (DNS) after a lucid interval; white circles indicate patients who showed no DNS but only initial symptoms within 3 days after admission.
