^a T_max, temperature of the peak maximum;

^b T_FM, first moment temperature;

^c C_p ^ex (Peak 1), excess specific heat capacity of the main transition;

^d C_p ^ex (Peak 2), excess specific heat capacity of the second transition;

^e C_p ^ex (Peak 1)/C_p ^ex (Peak 2), ratio of the excess specific heat capacities of the main and second transitions;

^f LSIL, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL);

^g HSIL, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL); underlined values indicate high confidence of statistically significant differences in median thermogram parameters between clinical groups where p-values were less than 0.05; italics indicate differences in median parameter values which are of moderate statistical significance where p-values were between 0.05 and 0.1.
