Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for determining functional values, in particular the regulatory capacity of biological systems, in particular of the human body.
  • thermoregulatory diagnostics Procedures that attempt to include dynamic aspects are known as thermoregulatory diagnostics.
  • temperature values at various parts of the body are measured before and after a defined external influencing of the body.
  • Such measurements can be carried out by means of conventional infrared sensors, and the measured temperature differences of the measuring points before and after the influence are used to investigate the heat regulation capacity of the investigated system.
  • the reproducibility of the methods is low. It has therefore also been proposed, according to DE-A-10132549, to irradiate parts of the body surface with infrared and to determine the resulting photoemission in a time-dependent manner and subsequently to adjust the relaxation function with a hyperbolic function.
  • EP-A-1126271 a method for determining the malignancy and reactivity of tumor tissue is known (EP-A-1126271), in which suitable tissue treatment agents are selected on the basis of measured light emission values of the tissue.

  • the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that the physiological values of healthy people are distributed according to a logarithmic normal distribution, which, however, is subject to a normal distribution by sick people who have lost their ability to be regulated.
  • Well-regulated and disregulating biological systems would therefore be easy to recognize in the distribution of measurements when a large number of measurements are carried out in a short time.
  • the conductivity of the skin is suitable as such a measured value, in particular with regard to electrical resistance values or conductivity values. Electrostatic resistance values and / or electrical conductivity values can be measured quickly and reliably at any number of skin locations. It is then only necessary to compare the actual regulatory capacity of a body with the ideal and the lost regulatory capacity and to conclude on a stage of disease and its development and also to assess a therapy in terms of their effect.
  • Characteristic are measuring electrodes that allow a large number of measured values, in particular the conductivity of the skin, to be determined and evaluated by at least one hand in a short time. Preferably, approximately 500 measured values should be determinable within 10 minutes.

  • the device for determining functional values comprises a plate with an electrode matrix 1 onto which a skin area 2, for example a hand, can be laid flat.
  • the electrode matrix 1 has a multiplicity of regularly arranged metal pins 3, which are received in guides 5 and whose upper end face is formed like a head half-round, while the lower end face terminates flatly.
  • the upper area of the metal pins 3 is surrounded between the head end and the electrode matrix 1 by a spring 4 which, in the untensioned state, causes the metal pins 3 to protrude from the upper surface of the metal matrix 1.

  • a circuit is built up by the body, the metal pin 3, the measuring device 11 and the reference electrode 13, and the conductivity at the respective home location which touches the metal pin (s) 3 is determined ⁇ measure.
  • the conductivity measurements at the home locations, which contact the metal pins 3, are carried out in sequence.
  • the measured values can then be stored in the EDP 12 and utilized, for example, at the regulation of diagnostics.
  • the spring constants and the geometry are selected so that preferably all the metal pins 3 produce the same back pressure when the contact points 6 are touched.
  • the distribution of the measured values of the conductivity of a subject's skin deviates more or less from the ideal lognormal distribution 2, 3 or 4 and the most unfavorable normal distribution 1.
  • about 500 measured values are recorded, evaluated and plotted in about 10 minutes.
  • a healthy Pro ⁇ band results in a good match to the logarithmic normal distribution 2 of the measured values, with a z.
  • a strong approximation of the distribution 3 to a normal distribution results in a frequency distribution 4 that resembles that of a healthy person.
