Dependable Message Delivery to Mobile Units

Mobile computing is emerging as a novel paradigm with its own characteristic problems, models, and algorithms. Much effort is being directed to integrate mobile units with fixed networks, providing bridges to connect wireless to wired. The result is a fixed core of wireconnected static nodes and a fluid fringe of wireless mobile units, a computing system similar to the cellular telephone networ...

Safety and feasibility of local myocardial hypothermia.

BACKGROUND In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), reduction in time to reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery reduces infarct size. In animal models, an additional reduction of infarct size was observed when hypothermia was induced before reperfusion, despite a longer ischemic time. However, several human studies did not corroborate this positive effect, which is believed to be in ...

Therapeutic hypothermia in Italian Intensive Care Units after 2010 resuscitation guidelines: still a lot to do.

BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is one of three interventions that have demonstrated to improve patients' neurological outcome after cardiac arrest. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the 2010 resuscitation guidelines on TH implementation in various Italian Intensive Care Units (ICU). METHODS A structured questionnaire was submitted to Italian ICU. The questionnair...
