摘要：
Methods, computer programming and devices for transferring heat to and/or froma body portion of a mammal are provided. One approach includes directlydetermining a state of vasoconstriction or vasodilation in a portion of abody, and supplying heat to the portion of the body when vasoconstriction isdetermined, and removing heat from the portion of the body when vasodilationis determined. The body portion preferably includes specific heat exchangevasculature. In another approach, a transition of the body portion from astate of vasodilation to vasoconstriction is determined and the body portionis then actively kept in a state of vasodilation while removing heat therefrom.
