Loeb et al published an alternate set of criteria in 2001. They recommend a minimum set of clinical criteria for the initiation of antibiotic therapy for UTIs in nursing home residents (Table 2). 12 Under these criteria, urine culture is required to rule out a UTI.
Ovulation. Normal basal body temperature is typically below 98 degrees Fahrenheit before ovulation and rises above 98 degrees Fahrenheit after ovulation. A temperature drop of greater than 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit occurs during the 48 hours preceding ovulation. Basal body temperature rises following ovulation.
Normal Body Temperature. Body temperature is usually measured by a thermometer placed in the mouth, the rectum, or the auditory canal (for tympanic membrane temperature). The normal oral temperature is 37Â° Celsius (98.6Â° Fahrenheit); rectally, it is 37.3Â° Celsius (99.2Â° Fahrenheit).The tympanic membrane temperature is a direct reflection of the body's core temperature. These values are based on a statistical average.. Hypothermia is a condition in which an organism's temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism and function. For people in stage 1 hypethermia, body temperature drops by 1-2Â°C below normal temperature (35-36Â°C).
