Successful resuscitation for cardiac arrest due to severe accidental hypothermia accompanied by mandibular rigidity: a case of cold stiffening mimicking rigor mortis

International Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2018
Background In cases of severe accidental hypothermia, it was recommended that resuscitation should be continued until the patient has rewarmed, as hypothermia itself can preserve cerebral function, and hypothermic cardiac arrest is reversible.

Factors contributing to acute accidental hypothermia (literature review)

Медицина неотложных состояний, 2022
Risk factors for hypothermia include conditions that reduce thermogenesis, disrupt thermoregulation, and increase heat loss. The main groups of risk factors for hypothermia are: low ambient temperature; periodically repeated exposition to cold; reduction

Early versus late amniotomy during twin labor

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study evaluates whether timing of amniotomy affects labor characteristics and maternal and neonatal outcomes in twin deliveries. Methods This retrospective study was conducted at a single academic medical center and included dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancies with a normal anomaly scan and a vertex‐presenting leading

The Role of Accidental and Therapeutic Hypothermia in Non-Fatal Drowning

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2015
A case of non-fatal drowning with a successful outcome despite a submersion time of 25 min is described. Our case report emphasizes the role of accidental hypothermia in the survival of drowning victims with hypoxic brain injury, and supports the use of ...

Optimizing Prolonged (6 h) Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Kidneys (PROPER Study)

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Prolonged ex situ normothermic machine perfusion of donor kidneys up to 6 h is feasible, maintaining viability and histological integrity. Key protocol optimizations include fresh red blood cells, albumin supplementation, and urine recirculation—laying the groundwork for assessment and potential pretransplant interventions in future clinical trials ...

Alzheimer's disease and mixed pathologies as a hidden contributor to fatal hypothermia: A large‐scale forensic autopsy‐based study

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
We investigated neuropathological manifestations of hypothermia in 168 cases. Patients aged 65 years or more constituted 80% of the total cohort. Alzheimer's disease was the most common comorbidity, affecting 40% of all patients. Abstract There is a paucity of autopsy‐based studies providing detailed neuropathological characteristics of fatal ...

Neonates born at term with periventricular haemorrhagic infarction: Risk factors and clinical presentation

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This case series describes infants born near term with periventricular hemorrhagic infarction (PVHI), highlighting seizures as a common early symptom. Neonatal complications during delivery and pro‐thrombotic genetic mutations were slightly more common. MRI‐classified involvement was predominantly in the caudate vein territory.

Outbreak of poisoning by sodium hydrogen methylarsonate (MSMA)—an arsenic‐based herbicide—in horses in Brazil

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Arsenic poisoning in horses is rarely reported in the literature. However, arsenic compounds can be present in rodenticides, pesticides, and herbicides, representing a potential source of accidental exposure for horses. Objective To describe the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory findings from a herd of 31 horses exposed to ...

Lesion Formation in Cardiac Pulsed‐Field Ablation: Acute to Chronic Cellular Level Changes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) emerges as a promising therapy for atrial arrhythmias, an understanding of the cellular injury to cardiac tissue is critical to evaluating and interpreting results for each PFA system. This review aims to detail the mechanism of cell death for PFA, compare the cell death mechanism to thermal ablation modalities ...
