Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of death. Hypothermia has been recognized as an effective method in reducing brain injury. In this study, we assessed the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) as a neuroprotective agent and mild hypothermia on mortality, behavioral function, infarct volume, and brain edema in Wistar rats. Methods: Forty male rats were used in fiv...

Abstract Background The effect of hypothermia on large hemispheric infarction (LHI) remains controversial. Our study aimed to explore the therapeutic outcomes decompressive craniectomy (DC) combined with LHI. Methods Patients were randomly divided into three groups: DC group, plus head surface cooling (DCSC) group and endovascular (DCEH) group. was maintained normothermia. DCSC received 24-h ic...

The number of hip arthroscopies has rapidly increased worldwide due to the new knowledge intraarticular pathology. This procedure is successful with a low rate complications but severe. One most important, from anesthetic point view, hypothermia, carrying out physiological response that could be dangerous for patients. In arthroscopies, warmed irrigation solution been implemented as simple, low...

Hypothermia is widely used in neurosurgery and cardiac surgeries. However, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. We previously reported that the transcriptome responses of cardiomyocyte exposed to hypothermia, "The transcriptome responses of cardiomyocyte exposed to hypothermia" [4]. Herein, we provide the hypothermia inhibited proliferation of cardiomyocyte cells in vitro ...

Shapiro syndrome and periodic hypothermia have been reported approximately fifty times in the literature. Shapiro syndrome is defined as the constellation of periodic hypothermia and hyperhidrosis along with agenesis of the corpus callosum by Shapiro et al. in 1969. Periodic hypothermia is a more broad diagnosis with a number of proposed mechanisms; it occurs in patients without structural brai...

Perioperative hypothermia is a common and serious complication of anesthesia and surgery and is associated with many adverse perioperative outcomes. It prolongs the duration of action of inhaled and intravenous anesthetics as well as the duration of action of neuromuscular drugs. Mild core hypothermia increases thermal discomfort, and is associated with delayed post anaesthetic recovery. Mild h...

Hypothermia is one of the most common complications experienced by surgical patients. Better postoperative patient outcomes are achieved when normothermia is maintained. Perioperative nurses should understand how to maintain normothermia, the causes of hypothermia, and adverse patient outcomes that result from hypothermia. Nursing interventions to help prevent hypothermia can be implemented dur...

HYPOTHESIS Systemic temperature influences the development of neurologic deficits after aortic surgery. DESIGN Retrospective case-comparison study of prospectively collected data. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS We examined spinal cord injury according to mild passive hypothermia (mean temperature, 36.5 degrees C; n = 25), moderate active hypothermia (temperat...
