INTRODUCTION We report the case of a patient who developed a severe post-exertional heat stroke with consecutive multiple organ dysfunction resistant to conventional antipyretic treatment, necessitating the use of a novel endovascular device to combat hyperthermia and maintain normothermia. METHODS A 38-year-old male suffering from severe heat stroke with predominant signs and symptoms of enc...

Background: Patients may require perioperative cooling for a variety of reasons including treatment of a malignant hyperthermia crisis and induction of therapeutic hypothermia for neurosurgery. The authors compared heat transfer and core cooling rates with five cooling methods. Cited Here...: Six healthy volunteers were anesthetized with desflurane and nitrous oxide. The cooling methods were 1)...

This paper introduces a new global analytical model of the heat dissipation process that occurs in passively-cooled embedded systems, and explicits under what circumstances the folklore assumption that exponential cooling laws apply in such context is valid. Since the power consumption and reliability of microprocessors are highly dependent on temperature, both designers and, later on, run-time...

Purpose of review: To identify pre-cooling systems and cooling methods that are suitable for smaller scale horticultural producers Findings: A range of pre-cooling systems are available for small-scale horticultural producers and their suitability is described, in terms of availability, ease of use, capital cost, energy requirements. Expected benefits of using pre-cooling are also discussed. Li...

[1] Numerous websites, blogs and articles in the media have claimed that the climate is no longer warming, and is now cooling. Here we show that periods of no trend or even cooling of the globally averaged surface air temperature are found in the last 34 years of the observed record, and in climate model simulations of the 20 and 21 century forced with increasing greenhouse gases. We show that ...

The resonant-mass technique for the detection of Gravitational Waves may involve, in the near future, the cooling of very large masses (about 100 tons) from room temperature (300K) to extreme cryogenic temperatures (20mK). To cool these detectors down to cryogenic temperatures an exchange gas (helium) is used, and the heat is removed from the antenna to the cold reservoir by thermal conduction ...

We demonstrate a way to circumvent the interruption of evaporative cooling observed at high bias field for 87 Rb atoms trapped in the (F = 2, m = +2) ground state. Our scheme uses a 3-frequencies-RF-knife achieved by mixing two RF frequencies. This compensates part of the non linearity of the Zee-man effect, allowing us to achieve BEC where standard 1-frequency-RF-knife evaporation method did n...
