Bradycardia in a newborn with accidental severe hypothermia: treat or don’t touch? A case report
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2021 Background Hypothermia significantly affects mortality and morbidity of newborns. Literature about severe accidental hypothermia in neonates is limited. We report a case of a neonate suffering from severe accidental hypothermia.

A novel ECG-biomarker for cardiac arrest during hypothermia
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2020 Background Treatment of arrhythmias evoked by accidental or therapeutic hypothermia and rewarming remains challenging. We aim to find an ECG-biomarker that can predict ventricular arrhythmias at temperatures occurring in therapeutic and accidental ...

Cooling or Warming the Esophagus to Reduce Esophageal Injury During Left Atrial Ablation in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation. [PDF]
, 2020 Ablation of the left atrium using either radiofrequency (RF) or cryothermal energy is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) and is the most frequent type of cardiac ablation procedure performed. Although generally safe, collateral injury to

Transthyretin levels in the vitreous correlate with change in visual acuity after vitrectomy [PDF]
, 2009 Background/aim: Little is known about biochemical markers related to change in visual acuity after vitrectomy. The potential use of transthyretin (TTR), a carrier of the retinol/retinol-binding protein, as a biochemical marker protein, was investigated ...

Rewarming for accidental hypothermia in an urban medical center using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Accidental hypothermia complicated by cardiac arrest carries a high mortality rate in urban areas. For moderate hypothermia cases conventional rewarming methods are usually adequate, however in severe cases extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Examining mortality among formerly homeless adults enrolled in Housing First: An observational study [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Adults who experience prolonged homelessness have mortality rates 3 to 4 times that of the general population. Housing First (HF) is an evidence-based practice that effectively ends chronic homelessness, yet there has been virtually no ...

Facts and Fiction: The Impact of Hypothermia on Molecular Mechanisms following Major Challenge
Mediators of Inflammation, 2012 Numerous multiple trauma and surgical patients suffer from accidental hypothermia. While induced hypothermia is commonly used in elective cardiac surgery due to its protective effects, accidental hypothermia is associated with increased posttraumatic ...
