OBJECTIVE Therapeutic hypothermia, also known as targeted temperature management (TTM), improves clinical outcomes in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Hyperthermia after discontinuation of active temperature management ("rebound pyrexia") has been observed, but its incidence and association with clinical outcomes is poorly described. We hypothesized that rebound pyrexia is common afte...

OBJECTIVE There are effective treatments of trichotillomania (TTM), but access to expert providers is limited. This study tested a stepped care model aimed at improving access. METHOD Participants were 60 (95% women, 75% Caucasian, 2% Hispanic) adults (M = 33.18 years) with TTM. They were randomly assigned to immediate versus waitlist (WL) conditions for Step 1 (10 weeks of web-based self-hel...

Die Medizin wird von evidenzbasierten Standards dominiert: Therapieschemata werden Diagnosen zugeordnet – Patienten gleicher Diagnose werden mit gleicher Medizin behandelt. Ziel der dreidimensionalen Tumordokumentation und Therapieplanung ist eine Individualisierung der Diagnostik und somit auch eine individuellere Therapieplanung. Der TTM Tumor Therapy Manager ist ein erstes in der klinischen ...

BackgroundPentothal coma therapy (PCT) and targeted temperature management (TTM) are considered the most aggressive medical care for patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there is very little comparison between these two options. We compared survival rates complications treatments.MethodsNineteen who received treatment PCT or TTM after TBI March 2018 April 2022 were retros...

Target temperature management (TTM) is well-known to reduce secondary cell damage after cardiac arrest in patients with presumed cerebral hypoxia. The treatment of this reperfusion syndrome, especially in terms of temperature management, is not fully understood. Several clinical randomized controlled trials and other studies have shown TTM’s effectiveness in improving neurological outcomes.(1) ...

1. Merino sheep fed on a diet of chopped wheaten hay, chopped lucerne (Medicago sativa) hay and oat grain were the source of rumen contents for the study. The diet contained (mg/kg dry weight) 3.3 copper, 0.24 molybdenum and 2.8 sulphur. The effects of adding between 5 and 25 mg Mo/kg as ammonium molybdate (AM) or tetrathiomolybdate (TTM) on the distribution and forms of Cu and Mo in rumen cont...

Trichotillomania (TTM) is classified as an impulse control disorder characterized by the recurrent urge to pull out one's own hair resulting in noticeable hair loss. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, involving habit reversal training, currently represents the treatment of choice. The present study assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel self-help technique, entitled decoupling (DC). D...

The objective of this randomized comparative study was to provide preliminary data of comparative effectiveness of Thai traditional massage (TTM) and Chinese acupuncture for the treatment of myofascial back pain in young military personnel. Eighteen Thai military personnel, aged ranging from 20-40 years were randomly divided into TTM and acupuncture groups. Each group received 5 sessions of mas...

In 2006, Nie et al proposed an attack to break an instance of TTM cryptosystems. However, the inventor of TTM disputed this attack and he proposed two new instances of TTM to support his viewpoint. At this time, he did not give the detail of key construction — the construction of the lock polynomials in these instances which would be used in decryption. The two instances are claimed to achieve ...

Shocks are often simulated using the classical molecular dynamics (MD) method in which the electrons are not included explicitly and the interatomic interaction is described by an effective potential. As a result, the fast electronic heat conduction in metals and the coupling between the lattice vibrations and the electronic degrees of freedom can not be represented. Under conditions of steep t...
