  • Title: Drowning and Therapeutic Hypothermia: Dead Man Walking
    Title: Drowning and Therapeutic Hypothermia: Dead Man Walking Author(s): Angela Kavenaugh, D.O., Jamie Cohen, D.O., Jennifer Davis MD FAAP, Department of PICU Affiliation(s): Chris Evert Children’s Hospital, Broward Health Medical Center ABSTRACT BODY: Background: Drowning is the second leading cause of death in children and is associated with severe morbidity and mortality, most often due to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Those that survive are often left with debilitating neurological deficits. Therapeutic Hypothermia after resuscitation from ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia induced cardiac arrest is the standard of care in adults and has also been proven to have beneficial effects that persist into early childhood when utilized in neonatal birth asphyxia, but has yet to be accepted into practice for pediatrics. Objective: To present supportive evidence that Therapeutic Hypothermia improves mortality and morbidity specifically for pediatric post drowning patients. Case Report: A five year old male presented to the Emergency Department after pool submersion of unknown duration. He was found to have asphyxial cardiac arrest and received bystander CPR, which was continued by EMS for a total of 10 minutes, including 2 doses of epinephrine. CPR continued into the emergency department. Upon presentation to the ED, he was found to have fixed and dilated pupils, unresponsiveness, with a GCS of 3. Upon initial pulse check was found to have return of spontaneous circulation, with sinus tachycardia. His blood gas revealed 6.86/45/477/8/-25. He was intubated, given 2 normal saline boluses and 2 mEq/kg of Sodium Bicarbonate. The initial head CT was normal.

  • Hypothermia – Signs and Symptoms Aside from the Cold That Is Felt and the Shivering That May Occur, Initially Mental Function Is Most Affected
    December 2010 – ISSUE 123 DIRECTOR’S NOTE As we prepare to embark on a new year, I would like to take a moment to highlight a few of the forestry transportation safety improvements and initiatives that took place in BC in 2010; The establishment of District wide Road Safety Committees throughout the province. Provincial standardization of radio calling procedures and resource road signage. The expansion of the Council’s Trucksafe program to include issues relating to marine and air transportation safety. Moving forward into 2011, further gains in transportation safety awareness and improved results can be expected through the following initiatives; The identification and development of a Log Truck Driver training program. The establishment of provincial level Trucking Safety Technical Advisory Committees. The development of Passenger Safety Guides for helicopter, float plane and marine transportation of forestry workers. Research and development of programs targeted towards improving the health and wellness of drivers. We look forward to your continued interest and support of this publication and the other safety improvement initiatives carried out by the BC Forest Safety Council. Thank you and have a safe 2011 Chuck Carter, RPF Now that winter is in full force, ensuring preparedness and response for the cold and sometimes extreme conditions while working can make a big difference in your day. Vehicles and equipment are susceptible to break down in freezing temperatures. It’s necessary to ensure proper clothing is worn for the outside temperatures but also it is also important to ensure that there are the resources to keep warm for extended exposure within the vehicle.

  • Growth of Fern Gametophytes After 20 Years of Storage in Liquid Nitrogen
    FERN GAZ. 20(8): 337-346. 2018 337 GROWTH OF FERN GAMETOPHYTES AFTER 20 YEARS OF STORAGE IN LIQUID NITROGEN V. C. Pence Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW) Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, 3400 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45220, USA email: [email protected] Key words: cryopreservation, ex situ conservation, gametophyte; in vitro; long-term storage ABSTRACT In vitro grown gametophytes of six species of ferns, which had been cryopreserved using the encapsulation dehydration procedure, were evaluated for survival after 20 yrs of storage in liquid nitrogen. Tissues were rewarmed and transferred to a recovery medium with the same methods originally used to test pre-storage viability. All six species resumed growth. Post-storage viability was not consistently higher or lower than pre-storage viability of LN exposed tissues, likely reflecting the small sample sizes. However, these results demonstrate that long-term storage in liquid nitrogen is a viable option for preserving gametophytes of at least some fern species and could be utilized as an additional tool for preserving valuable gametophyte collections and for the ex situ conservation of fern biodiversity. INTRODUCTION For many species of ferns, gametophyte tissues have proven to be highly adaptable to growth in vitro (Table 1) . Most of these have been initiated through the aseptic germination of spores, although the aseptic germination of gemmae has also been demonstrated (Raine & Sheffield, 1997). As in vitro cultures, gametophytes can provide tissues for research and for propagation, both for ornamental ferns as well as for ferns of conservation concern. The ex situ conservation of ferns has traditionally relied on living collections and spore banks (Ballesteros, 2011).
