Body core and brain cooling by 1-3°C has been used as an adjunct in treatment of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) patients. Body surface cooling is simple and non-invasive however this process is difficult to implement effectively because skin cooling stimulates shivering heat production, a
This study will be conducted in our tertiary care cardiac center. The cohort will consist of newly admitted comatose adults (>18 years of age) who have suffered an OHCA and are treated with standard TTM to 36°C. Just before admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), CCAP undergo CT scan of head.
Introduction:
Prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) continues to be a major challenge for the health care system since it incurs a substantial toll on public health and significantly inflates health care costs. SSIs are now the leading cause of health care related infections, complicating

By the year 2030 the geriatric presence in the United States, defined as any adult >65 years of age, is estimated to reach around 20% of the entire population. Thus, understanding medical concepts as they relate to the elderly is becoming increasingly important. One such concept is that of
Cardiac surgery is commonly associated with a transient post-operative decrease in the platelet count. Thrombocytopenia after cardiopulmonary bypass can be explained by hemodilution, exposure to artificial surfaces with platelet activation and adhesion, hypothermia, blood loss and mechanical

This research will address the current lack of objective tools for the reliable assessment of oral sucking and feeding in clinical practice, and the insufficient evidence that relates early measures of abnormal sucking activity with the underlying neurological impairment.
The main goal of this study
Acute ischemic stroke remains one of the leading causes of disability and death in both developed and developing countries. Using intravenous thrombolysis combined with intra-arterial therapy to recanalize occluded vessels in eligible patients is recommended by current guidelines. Five randomized
Ethics and organization The study was designed in agreement with the Declaration of Nanjing, and the study protocol was approved by the local ethics committees. A written informed consent will be completed before inclusion. The trial was coordinated and monitored by the First Affiliated Hospital
The purpose of the proposed clinical trial is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of intravascular hypothermia as part of the early hospital management and treatment for acute cervical SCI. Each year in the US, there are over 11,000 new cases of para- and quadriplegia and 100,000 new cases of
