 Superbly adapted to the desert, roadrunners benefit from a special internal energy-conservation mechanism. At night, when the temperature can drop 50 degrees or more, the roadrunners body temperature drops as much as seven degrees below its normal 101 degrees Fahrenheit. Conversely, the bird spends long periods sunning itself during the early morning hours. Starting at sunrise, the bird turns its back to the sun, lifts the feathers of the lower neck and upper back, and holds its wings out. This exposes a dark patch of skin on the back that acts as a solar panel. Raising its temperature without expending energy, the bird can save about 550 calories an hour. |

 Peter Menzel/ASA / ASA, GER_SCI_MED_04_xs Patient undergoing an experimental form of cancer treatment using hyperthermia (heat treatment). Here, the patients neck is being positioned under a radio source. The ‘Selectotherm’ machine, developed by Manfred von Ardenne (1907-1997) at the Dresden Institute, Germany, uses radio waves to treat malignant tumors. In the 1960s, it was found that cancerous cells were more susceptible to destruction by heat than normal tissue. This treatment is used in a controversial multi-step cancer therapy, which involves acidification of the cancer cells (to restrict the tumor’s blood supply) before raising the body temperature to 40 degrees C and the tumor to 42.5 degrees C.

 Peter Menzel/ASA / ASA, USA_SCI_HYP_10_xs Hypothermia Research at the University of Minnesota Hypothermia laboratory in Duluth; volunteer, Brian Cress, warms up his body temperature after being immersed in cold water at a temperature of 53 degrees Fahrenheit (10 °C). A variety of probes measure his vital functions, skin & core body temperatures. MODEL RELEASED [1988] Hypothermia is a medical condition in which the victims core body temperature has dropped to significantly below normal and normal metabolism begins to be impaired. This begins to occur when the core temperature drops below 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). If body temperature falls below 32 °C (90 °F), the condition can become critical and eventually fatal. Body temperatures below 27 °C (80 °F) are almost uniformly fatal, though body temperatures as low as 14 °C (57.5 °F) have been known to be survivable. For unknown reasons, people who fall critically unconscious in very cold water can, in rare cases, be resuscitated, even though they would be expected to have died of drowning and/or hypothermia.
