Out of the cold: management of hypothermia and frostbite.

Cold stress and the cold pressor test.

Temperature and other environmental stressors are known to affect blood pressure and heart rate. In this activity, students perform the cold pressor test, demonstrating increased blood pressure during a 1- to 2-min immersion of one hand in ice water. The cold pressor test is used clinically to evaluate autonomic and left ventricular function. This activity is easily adapted to an inquiry format...

Out cold: biochemical regulation of mammalian hibernation - a mini-review.

Hibernating mammals offer an intriguing example of natural torpor and illustrate the regulatory mechanisms that control metabolic rate depression and the cell preservation strategies that support long-term viability in a hypometabolic state. These suggest applied strategies for improving the hypothermic preservation of human organs for transplant, and guidelines that could aid the development o...
