Cold at the Core: Osborn Waves in Neurosarcoidosis-Induced Central Hypothermia
Osborn waves, or J waves, initially described by John Osborn in 1953 in hypothermic dog experiments, are highly sensitive and specific for hypothermia. Initially thought to be secondary to a hypothermia-induced “injury current,” they have more recently ...

Hypothermia in trauma patients is a common condition. It is aggravated by traumatic hemorrhage, which leads to hypovolemic shock. This hypovolemic shock results in a lethal triad of hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidosis, leading to ongoing bleeding ...

Hypothermia-Induced Hypokalemia [PDF]
Hypothermia may be seen both as a presenting problem and as a part of therapeutic strategy. An illustrative case is presented. In our case of severe head trauma, hypothermia was used as a therapeutic modality to minimize the brain injury. While hypothermic, the patient developed severe hypokalemia and was supplemented with 400 mEq of potassium.

Phenytoin-induced hypothermia [PDF]
A 60-year-old man with cerebral palsy and epilepsy was admitted with acute lethargy and deterioration in coordination. He was noted to be hypothermic at 35°C on admission. Routine work-up revealed toxic levels of phenytoin. No cause of hypothermia could be identified but as his phenytoin levels normalised, his body temperature also improved.

Hypothermia and postconditioning after cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduce cardiac dysfunction by modulating inflammation, apoptosis and remodeling [PDF]
Background: Mild therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest is neuroprotective, but its effect on myocardial dysfunction that is a critical issue following resuscitation is not clear.

Mild hypothermia alone or in combination with anesthetic post-conditioning reduces expression of inflammatory cytokines in the cerebral cortex of pigs after cardiopulmonary resuscitation [PDF]
Introduction: Hypothermia improves survival and neurological recovery after cardiac arrest. Pro-inflammatory cytokines have been implicated in focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in-jury.

Induced and Accidental Hypothermia
To review human thermoregulation and the pathophysiology and management of induced and accidental hypothermia.A review of studies reported over ten years from 1990 to 2000 and identified through a MEDLINE search of the English-language literature on thermoregulation and induced and accidental hypothermia.Hypothermia is defined as a core temperature ...

European society of intensive care medicine study of therapeutic hypothermia (32-35 °C) for intracranial pressure reduction after traumatic brain injury (the Eurotherm3235Trial). [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and severe disability worldwide with 1,000,000 hospital admissions per annum throughout the European Union.Therapeutic hypothermia to reduce intracranial hypertension may improve patient ...

Modulation of 8-OH-DPAT-Induced Hypothermia by Imipramine in Rats
: The effects of imipramine on 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1A-receptor full agonist, -induced hypothermia was examined in rats.

Therapeutic hypothermia and neurological outcome after cardiac arrest [PDF]
Introduction/Aim. The most important clinically relevant cause of global cerebral ischemia is cardiac arrest. Clinical studies showed a marked neuroprotective effect of mild hypothermia in resuscitation.
