Mini-symposium on
Portland, Oregon, August 25, 1996
Special issue on
Medical Hypotheses 50 (3), 1998
The mini-symposium on Clinical Thermophysiology: New Hypotheses and Emerging Concepts was held in Portland, Oregon, in August 1996. Conference participants, a group of basic and applied thermophysiologists, made an attempt to address clinical problems, needs, and hopes - hopes, if not for a better cure of a disease then for a better understanding of medically important issues of temperature regulation. Analyzing such issues, each of the participants formulated a new hypothesis. Six of those hypotheses that might be of interest to a broader audience have been selected for publication as symposium proceedings by the Medical Hypotheses.
Special thanks to Legacy Health System for hosting the meeting, Data Sciences International and San Diego Instruments for sponsoring the event, Mrs. Darlene G. Kenyon for indispensable help in organizing the symposium, Mrs. Jin Emerson-Cobb for editorial assistance, and the journal Medical Hypotheses and Dr. David F. Horrobin (Editor) for publishing the proceedings.
