The aim of this study was to assess the risk of unfavorable outcomes according to the timing of hypotension episodes in cardiac arrest patients. This prospectively conducted multicenter observational study included 1373 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients treated with 33 °C targeted temperature management (TTM). Unfavorable neurological outcome and the incidence of complications were analyzed according to the timing of hypotension. Compared with hypotension before TTM initiation (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.51), hypotension within 6 h after TTM initiation was associated with an increased risk of unfavorable neurologic outcome (aHR 1.693), and after 24 h of TTM, was connected with decreased risk (aHR 1.277). The risk of unfavorable neurological outcome was gradually reduced over time after TTM initiation. Hypotension, persisting both before and during TTM, demonstrated a greater risk (aHR 2) than transient hypotension (aHR 1.265). Hypotension was correlated with various complications. Differences in lactate levels were persistent, regardless of the initial fluid therapy ( < 0.001). Hypotension showed a strong correlation with unfavorable neurological outcome, especially in the early phase after TTM initiation, and complications. It is essential to manage hypotension that occurs at the beginning of TTM initiation to recover cerebral function in cardiac arrest patients.

Background: The effect of targeted temperature management (TTM) combined with decompressive craniectomy (DC) on poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has not been previously addressed in the literature. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic outcomes of the combination of TTM and DC in patients with poor-grade aSAH.
Methods: This study represents a secondary analysis of the Multicenter Clinical Research on Targeted Temperature Management of Poor-grade Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (High-Quality TTM for PaSAH), a multicenter prospective study conducted in China.

Background: Coronary angiography (CAG) and targeted temperature management (TTM) may improve clinical outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This study aimed to assess whether the intervention effects differed according to timing and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performance.
Methods And Results: Adult patients with presumed cardiac cause who underwent CAG and TTM within 24 hours following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were included from the Korean nationwide out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry.

The emerging field of molecular cavity polaritons has stimulated a surge of experimental and theoretical activities and presents a unique opportunity to develop the many-body simulation methodology. This paper presents a numerical scheme for the extraction of key kinetic information of lossy cavity polaritons based on the transfer tensor method (TTM). Steady state, relaxation timescales, and oscillatory phenomena can all be deduced directly from a set of transfer tensors without the need for long-time simulation.

Background: Trichotillomania (TTM), also known as hair pulling disorder, is a chronic disorder that often leads to considerable emotional distress and functional impairment in affected individuals. Despite the strong underlying psychiatric component of TTM, the majority of individuals suffering from TTM initially may present to dermatologists because of their hair loss. This necessitates awareness and early recognition of TTM as well as familiarity with the unique considerations for its management.

Purpose: Hyperoxemia is common in patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and may increase the risk of mortality. However, the effect of hyperoxemia on functional outcome, specifically related to the timing of exposure to hyperoxemia, remains unclear.
Methods: The secondary analysis of the Target Temperature Management 2 (TTM-2) randomized trial.
