A century later, Carl August Wunderlich stated in the English translation of his treatise on 'Temperature in Diseases' that he preferred to retain all his measurements in the centigrade scale, because the convenience of this scale will probably shortly lead to its general adoption by all scientific men. Their main applications generally fall outside the temperature range of the human body, but some patient-monitoring devices used in critical care employ thermocouples taped to the skin for continuous measurements over time. Since the earliest days of medicine, physicians have recognized that the human body can exhibit an abnormal rise in temperature, usually defined as fever, as an obvious symptom of certain illnesses.	./cache/cord-016246-qqrv1npv.txt	./txt/cord-016246-qqrv1npv.txt
