Fatalities due to an extreme ambient temperature might present with poor or nonspecific pathologies; thus, the diagnosis of the cause of death in such cases is one of the most difficult tasks in forensic pathology. The present study investigated the molecular pathology of alveolar damage involving
OBJECTIVE
It is unknown whether hypothermia can disrupt the progress of epileptogenesis. The present study aimed to determine the effect of hypothermia on brain edema and epileptogenesis and to establish whether brain edema is associated with epileptogenesis after severe status epilepticus
The combination of severe hypothermia and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema secondary to an opiate overdose is presented. This case emphasizes the importance of ventilatory support and rewarming techniques available in the emergency department setting.
The effect of pentobarbital and hypothermia on the development of ischemic brain edema was studied in 23 rhesus monkeys undergoing transorbital middle cerebral artery occlusion. Fifteen additional animals served as unclipped controls. Regional cortical cerebral blood flow (rCBF), arteriovenous
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of hypothermia alone or in combination with dichloroacetic acid (DCA) and/or deferoxamine (DFO) in reducing cortical edema (CE) and improving neurologic functional recovery after moderate closed and head trauma with controlled cortical impact
Intractable brain edema remains one of the main causes of death after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Brain hypothermia and decompressive craniectomy have been considered as potential therapies. The goal of our experimental study was to determine if selective hypothermia in combination with
Mild hypothermia prevents the development of brain edema in rats with acute liver failure resulting from hepatic devascularization. Mechanistic studies performed in this model suggest that the protective effect of hypothermia results from the inhibition of blood-brain transfer of ammonia, an action
The purpose was to evaluate the feasibility and intensive care complications of long-term hypothermia (>72 hours) in the treatment of severe brain edema after poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) Hunt and Hess grade 4 to 5. Among 156 patients with SAH, 21 patients were treated with mild
OBJECTIVE
The prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is poor because of the mass effect arising from the hematoma and the associated peri-hemorrhagic edema, leading to increased intracranial pressure. Because the efficacy of surgical and anti-edematous treatment strategies is
To investigate the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) signaling pathway in the expression of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) in brain tissue of rats with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during mild hypothermia.Forty-eight healthy male Mild to moderate hypothermia (30-33 degrees C) reduces brain injury after brief (< 2-h) periods of focal ischemia, but its effectiveness in prolonged temporary ischemia is not fully understood. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats anesthetized with 1.5% isoflurane underwent 3 h of middle cerebral artery
Acute subdural hematoma (SDH) is the most common mass lesion in severe head injury, and brain ischemia is the leading pathophysiological mechanism in the development of secondary brain damage following SDH. Hypothermia has been employed as an effective neuroprotective procedure in clinical and
OBJECTIVE
The mechanisms by which hypothermia improves cardiac arrest (CA)-induced brain damage are unclear. The authors hypothesized that mild hypothermia induced before CA attenuates brain edema formation by preventing neutrophil-mediated dysfunction of the endothelial cell junction
BACKGROUND
Cerebral edema is one of the major causes of mortality following cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A subunit of the sulfonylurea receptor 1-transient receptor potential M4 (Sur1-TRPM4) channel has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia-evoked cerebral
Acute changes in cerebral perfusion and metabolism after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have been shown to contribute significantly to acute brain injury. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of moderate hypothermia on the acute changes after massive experimental SAH as evaluated by
