background: neonatal deaths mostly occur within the first one week and first 24 hours of life from a variety of conditions. objective: to examine the role of significant hypothermia and hypoglycaemia, in addition to some other factors, in neonatal mortality occurring within the first 24 hours of admission.methods: a prospective study of newborn infants hospitalized within the first 24 hours of ...

PURPOSE To design an animal model of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in kidneys and evaluate the role that predetermined ranges of local hypothermia plays on markers of stress-oxydative as well as on histologic sections. METHODS Twenty eight male rats Wistar, under general anesthesia, undergone right nephrectomy (G0, control group) followed by left kidney ischemia during 40 min. Four temperatures ...

BACKGROUND There is little evidence to compare the effectiveness of large collaborative quality improvement versus individual local projects. METHODS This was a prospective pre-post intervention study of neonatal resuscitation practice, comparing 3 groups of nonrandomized hospitals in the California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative: (1) collaborative, hospitals working together through fa...

Background: Therapeutic hypothermia has become an established protocol for all neonates with moderate to severe Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE). There are very few studies comparing the neurodevelopmental outcomes in asphyxiated neonates who received therapeutic hypothermia or did not. This study aimed to assess the neurodevelopmental outcomes of asphyxiated neonates with features of HIE...

INTRODUCTION Modern surgical management of chronic venous insufficiency is possible since the development of catheter-based minimally invasive techniques, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and the application of colour Doppler sonography. RFA technology requires the use of tumescent anaesthesia, which prolongs the operating time. Instilling tumescent anaesthesia percutaneously below the s...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of delayed hypothermia on spinal cord injuries in rats. In addition, the effect of methylprednisolone on therapeutic window of hypothermia was evaluated. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Several studies have demonstrated that early hypothermia is the most effective neuroprotective modality. However, delayed ...

The effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor antagonists on hypothermia induced by cocaine or morphine have been studied in mice. In the present work, subcutaneous (SC) injection of cocaine (50-150 mg/kg) or morphine (125-500 mg/kg) induced hypothermia in mice. Administration of CCKA receptor antagonist MK-329 (0.5-1.5 mg/kg), CCKB receptor antagonist L-365, 260 (0.5-1.5 mgl kg) and CCK r...

AIMS Hypothermic irrigating solutions were used during vitrectomy in pressure induced ischaemic eyes so that their effects on retinal function and histological changes could be investigated. METHODS After anaesthetised albino rabbits underwent closed vitrectomy, their vitreous cavities were continuously irrigated for 30 minutes at a perfusion pressure of 140 mm Hg. The rabbits were divided in...

vi allowed to reproduce the global evolution of hypothermia and to explain qualitatively the temperature difference between abdomen and BAT locations. While with this approach, we have demonstrated the importance and feasibility of localized temperature measurements on mice, further optimization of this technique is foreseen to better identify local metabolism variations.

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...
