AIM In this study, it was aimed to investigate which method was superior by applying selective head cooling or whole body cooling therapy in newborns diagnosed with moderate or severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. MATERIALS AND METHOD Newborns above the 35th gestational age diagnosed with moderate or severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy were included in the study and selective head cooli...

Cooling for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is a novel and promising neuroprotective therapy that requires significant understanding of how cooling affects all organ systems and interventions used to treat systemic complications of cooling in an intensive care setting. As cooling is used more widely and has been newly introduced in neonatal units, continued surveillance of its use in c...

Vibration free cooling of detectors to cryogenic temperatures is critical for many terrestrial, airborne, and space based instruments. Cooling of solids by anti Stokes fluorescence is an emerging refrigeration technology that is inherently vibration free and compact, and enables cooling of small loads to cryogenic temperatures. In this Highlight, advances in laser cooling of solids are discusse...

Air film cooling has been widely employed to cool gas turbine hot components such as combustor liners, combustor transition pieces, turbine vanes and blades. Enhancing air film cooling by injecting mist with tiny water droplets with diameters of 5-10μm has been studied in the past on flat surfaces. This paper focuses on computationally investigating the curvature effect on mist/air film cooling...

Cooling to 33.5°C in babies with neonatal encephalopathy significantly reduces death and disability, however additional therapies are needed to maximize brain protection. Following hypoxia-ischemia we assessed whether inhaled 45-50% Argon from 2-26h augmented hypothermia neuroprotection in a neonatal piglet model, using MRS and aEEG, which predict outcome in babies with neonatal encephalopathy,...

One of the most important methods of transporting natural gas in Iran and other parts of the world is the utilization of a network of pipelines. Compression station and turbo compressor units play an important role in gas supply through pipelines. One of the primary concerns in these units is the reduction of fuel consumption. By cooling of exhaust gas from the source station, the pressure ...

OBJECTIVE Therapeutic hypothermia has become a standard neuroprotective treatment in term newborn infants following perinatal asphyxia. Active cooling with whole body surface or head cooling is complex, expensive and often associated with initial hypothermic overshoot. We speculated that passive cooling might suffice to induce and maintain hypothermia. METHODS We analysed 18 asphyxiated term ...

Two cooling methods are installed in the cooler synchrotron COSY. The electron cooler is used for stacking and cooling of proton beams with energies between 45 MeV and 180 MeV. After last year’s commissioning the stochastic cooling system became a standard tool for beam cooling in the momentum range of 1.5-3.3 GeV/c. The stochastic cooling pickups also serve for precision measurements of the ch...
