Neurologic Outcomes

Introduction: Cerebral hemodynamic and metabolic changes may occur during the rewarming phase of targeted temperature management (TTM) of post cardiac arrest patients. Yet, studies of different rewarming rates and patient outcomes are limited. The researchers would like to perform a pilot study to investigate post cardiac arrest patients, who were rewarmed with different rewarming rates after 24 hours of hypothermia and their association to neurologic outcomes. Method: The researchers investigated post cardiac arrest patients treated with TTM and rewarmed with a rewarming rate of 0.15°C/h and 0.25°C/h. The association of rewarming rate and poor neurologic outcome(CPC3-5) was investigated. Result: A total of 63 patients were analyzed (0.15°C/h N=33, 0.25/h N=30). When comparing the neurologic outcomes of 0.15°C/h versus 0.25°C/h, the neurologic outcome did not significantly differ between the two rewarming rates (22(66.7) vs. 20 (66.7), p=1.00). Rewarming rate of 0.15°C/h was not associated with one-month neurologic outcomes, after adjusting confounding factors in the multivariate analysis (OR 1.19 (0.31-4.54), p=0.80). Conclusion: Although the sample size was limited, findings of this pilot study showed that rewarming rates of 0.15°C/h and 0.25°C/h were not associated with different neurologic outcomes in the post cardiac arrest patients.

This cytochemical study was designed to investigate early metabolic changes in the aortic wall that might lead to or accompany development of atherosclerotic plaques in rabbits. The hypothesis that the primary cellular alteration leading to plaque formation might be due to changes in either carbohydrate or lipid metabolism led to histochemical studies that showed elevation of G-6-Pase in atherosclerotic plaques of rabbit aorta. This observation initiated the present investigation to determine how early in plaque formation and in which cells this change could be observed.Male New Zealand white rabbits of approximately 2000 kg consumed normal diets or diets containing 0.25 or 1.0 gm of cholesterol per day for 10, 50 and 90 days. Aortas were injected jin situ with glutaraldehyde fixative and dissected out. The plaques were identified, isolated, minced and fixed for not more than 10 minutes. Incubation and postfixation proceeded as described by Leskes and co-workers.

Purpose This pilot study explored the effectiveness of an early storybook reading (ESR) intervention for parents with babies with hearing loss (HL) for improving (a) parents' book selection skills, (b) parent–child eye contact, and (c) parent–child turn-taking. Advancing research into ESR, this study examined whether the benefits from an ESR intervention reported for babies without HL were also observed in babies with HL. Method Four mother–baby dyads participated in a multiple baseline single-case experimental design across behaviors. Treatment effects for parents' book selection skills, parent–child eye contact, and parent–child turn-taking were examined using visual analysis and Tau-U analysis. Results Statistically significant increases, with large to very large effect sizes, were observed for all 4 participants for parent–child eye contact and parent–child turn-taking. Limited improvements with ceiling effects were observed for parents' book selection skills. Conclusion The findings provide preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of an ESR intervention for babies with HL for promoting parent–child interactions through eye contact and turn-taking.
