Abstract: Biothermodynamics may help clinicians to diagnose and cure many medical cases, slow down ageing, correct malnutrition and repair the distorted tissues. Thermodynamically detected decrease in cardiac or renal filtration efficiencies indicate a malfunctioning system. Thermodynamic assessment of the circulatory system after amputation and restoring the circulatory pressure drop may prevent deaths. Research on thermodynamics of fertilisation may help to medical practitioners to fight against infertility. Athletes of some sports have substantially shorter lifespan than the other people. Biothermodynamics may offer some help to those athletes via prescribing appropriate energy intake. Distortion of the energy management in the body is observed in various health problems, including cancer. The need for multidisciplinary research to achieve additional understanding of these phenomena has been suggested by numerous researchers. Biothermodynamics may offer the best tool to achieve this goal.

Keywords: biothermodynamics; internal work performance; external work performance; energy and exergy efficiency; helping medical practitioners; diagnosing and curing morbidities.
