Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Environmental and Geological Science and Engineering Experimental study and statistical calculus of efficiency Techirghiol Lake mud PANAITESCU MARIANA Environmental and engineering Protection in Industry Department Maritime University Constanta, Mircea street,104, CP900663 ROMANIA [email protected] http://www.cmuedu.eu SURDU OLGA Faculty of Medicine, Ovidius University Constanta, Mamaia str.124, [email protected] http://www.univovidius.ro ONCIOIU IONICA Finances and Bancks Faculty, Tomis University Constanta, Petru Vulcan street,100, CP 900628 ROMANIA [email protected] http://univtomis.ro Abstract: - In this paperwork are presented the results of an experimental study realized on a batch of 20 subjects: 10 men and 10 females, made in Techirghiol Balneal and Rehabilitation Sanatorium, between February – June 2009. During this study were measured the body temperature, the radial pulse, the blood pressure and the oscilometric index before and after the hypertherm mud application (mud pack/wrapping) in first, fourth, eighth and twelfth days of the cure. In this paper we present the variation of the temperature before and after mud application.In order to evaluate the range of efficiency were made statistical calculus on medium variation of obtained data. The results show that in first and fourth days determined parameters present important variation and at the end of cure - twelfth days – they are in physiological limits. The high level of determined parameters are explained by effects of mud and salt water on the thermoregulation and blood circulation function. Key-Words: - body temperature, hyperthermia, peloïde, mud wrapping/pack, efficiency. 1 Introduction resulting from chemical analysis performed. Over time, coastal lakes were subject specialists from These changes have important repercussions on the different research areas. Also, specialized institutions hydrochemical regime of quantitative and qualitative surveyed including lifting topometric complex, analysis component of biocenoses those important elements for hydrochemistry, hydrogeology studies. maintaining ecological balance and mud sludge The motivation of this choice stems from the formation. awareness of research subjects given the special Peloidul is a mixture of organic and inorganic importance of Techirghiol lake water and mud with substances in the state of aggregation and various mud and therapeutic value in the socioeconomic area structural forms.
