The upper limbs of 10 healthy subjects were cooled and then warmed over physiological temperature ranges. The compound action potentials of median digital nerves, median sensory nerve at the wrist, radial sensory nerve at the wrist, and median thenar muscle, all showed progressive reduction in latency, amplitude, duration and area during rising temperature. Our studies suggest that the sensory ...

BACKGROUND Moderate elevation of brain temperature, when present during or after ischemia, may markedly worsen the resulting injury. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of body temperature on neurologic outcome after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. METHODS In patients who experienced a witnessed cardiac arrest of presumed cardiac cause, the temperature was recorded on admission to th...

Let G be a Q4-free median graph on n vertices and m edges. Let k be the number of equivalence classes of Djoković-Winkler’s relation Θ and let h be the number of Q3’s in G. Then we prove that 2n −m − k + h = 2. We also characterize median grid graphs in several different ways, for instance, they are the grid graphs with m− n + 1 squares. To obtain these results we introduce the notion of square...
