Abstract :
Experiments in which heated disks were implanted in the thorax for up to seven weeks provide the basis for estimating perfusion from chronic heat on lung and muscle tissue. The effect of tissue type and heating duration on perfusion were examined to determine how tissue adapts to chronic heating
