Winter Season Mortality: Will Climate Warming Bring Benefits?

Extreme heat events are associated with spikes in mortality, yet death rates are on average highest during the coldest months of the year. Under the assumption that most winter excess mortality is due to cold temperature, many previous studies have concluded that winter mortality will substantially decline in a warming climate. We analyzed whether and to what extent cold temperatures are associ...

Winter Is Coming After a Cardiac Arrest.

1977 ECG CHALLENGE We present a case of a 40-year-old man who was brought to our hospital after a sudden cardiac arrest. He had a history of human immunodeficiency virus infection and was receiving treatment with antiretroviral drugs with good compliance, showing an undetectable virus load in a test done 1 month earlier. The patient did not feel well in the morning and went to a walk-in clinic....

Overwinter Growth and Survival of Largemouth Bass: Interactions among Size, Food, Origin, and Winter Severity

—Winter severity (temperature, duration, and photocycle), geographic origin, food availability, and initial body size likely influence growth, survival, and, therefore, recruitment of age0 largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides. We collected age-0 largemouth bass (70–160 mm total length) from low (338N), intermediate (408N), and high (458N) latitudes throughout their natural range (origin), and ...

Body Mass and Winter Severity as Predictors of Overwinter Survival in Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse

Meadow jumping mice (Zapus hudsonius) reduce their metabolism substantially during hibernation and use stored fat reserves for overwinter energy needs. Preble’s meadow jumping mouse (Z. h. preblei; PMJM) occurs along the Front Range of Colorado, north into southeastern Wyoming, and is listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act because of the conversion and degradation of ri...
