Induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest
… is based on studies of the clinical use of induced hypothermia as an intervention to reduce mortality and neurological impairment after cardiac arrest. After the publication of two trials indicating benefit of induced hypothermia, we developed a registry to assess outcome, possible adverse …

Aspects of bleeding complications and hemostasis at central line insertion and mild induced hypothermia
… remain controversial among clinical studies. Hypothermia is generally considered to reduce coagulation and platelet function. However, studies performed in animals, healthy volunteers, and patients have shown conflicting results. Paper I, a retrospective study in non-intensive care unit …

Coronary Reactive Hyperemia
… release of t-PA. It was also hypothesized that hypothermia may have effects on coronary reactive hyperemia and that rapidly induced hypothermia prior to reperfusion in an infarction model could reduce myocardial infarct size. Material and Methods: All studies were performed in a closed chest …

Capsinoids, Non-Pungent TRPV1 Agonists, Induce a Mild Hypothermia That Provides Short- and Long-Term Neuroprotection After Ischemic Stroke
<p>Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has demonstrated neuroprotection in instances of cardiac arrest and neonatal hypoxia/ischemia but faces different challenges in application to stroke due to the activation of cold defense mechanisms in conscious patients. This dissertation examines the efficacy and …

The influence of birth site on short-term outcomes of encephalopathic newborn infants treated with therapeutic hypothermia at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa
… encephalopathy (HIE) should be treated with induced hypothermia within 6 hours of birth, but many of the affected babies are born outside treatment centers. There are conflicting data describing the influence of birth site on outcome after HIE - and no published data from South Africa. …

CYP2D in the Brain Alters Response to Drugs and Neurotoxins
… release, exacerbated acute methamphetamine-induced rearing, and enhanced repeated methamphetamine-induced stereotypy sensitization. Next, to assess the role of human CYP2D6 in brain in vivo, humanized CYP2D6-expressing transgenic mice and wild-type mice were given intracerebroventricular …

Cardiac arrest – prognostic biomarkers and aspects of shock
… of biomarkers in patients treated with mild induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest and study their correlation to the post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) and long-term outcome; Second, to investigate the effect of two different target temperatures (33°C and 36°C) on hemodynamics and …

Aspects of post-resuscitation care after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
… cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and mild induced hypothermia (MIH). The aim of Paper III was to use variables and information available at intensive care unit admission to develop a risk score for poor outcome useful for comparing populations and defining patient risk when assessing …

MicroRNA expression and function in neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy
… The current gold standard of treatment - induced hypothermia, has the ability to reduce neonatal mortality and improve neonatal morbidity. However, to be effective it needs to be initiated within the therapeutic window which exists following initial insult until approximately 6 hours after …
