Hypothermia in homeotherms significantly affects the neurotransmitter systems of the brain, including the cholinergic system. The function of the brain cholinergic system during prolonged moderate hypothermia is not known yet. We studied the effects of moderate hypothermia of various durations on the activity and kinetic parameters of synaptic acetylcholinesterase in rat brain. Immediately after body temperature decrease to 30°C, the efficiency of synaptic acetylcholinesterase catalysis significantly increases due to changes in both the maximum rate of reaction (V; the rate of reaction when the enzyme is saturated with substrate) and Michaelis constant (K). However, in the dynamics of prolonged hypothermia (1-3 h), it decreases to a level of intact animals, which was associated with normalization of the kinetic parameters of the enzyme. The detected changes in the kinetic parameters of the enzyme are compensatory and can be associated with both its reversible post-translational modifications and changes in the annular lipids.

Triage body temperature predicts outcome in cats at emergency department admission: a retrospective study of 1440 cases (January 2018 to December 2021).
J Feline Med Surg
January 2025
Department of Veterinary Medical Science, University of Bologna, Ozzano dell'Emilia, Italy.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between triage body temperature (BT) and outcome in cats presenting to the emergency department (ED).
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on cats presented to the ED. BT, clinical diagnosis and outcome were recorded.
Replacement of extended aortic arch aneurysm using partial sternotomy under beating heart and continuous cardiac perfusion.
Perfusion

Department of Cardiac and Vascular Surgery, Heart and Vascular Center Segeberger Kliniken, Bad Segeberg, Germany.
We report the case of a 72-year-old male patient who presented with a progressive aortic arch aneurysm. To reduce surgical trauma, we planned the procedure using an upper partial sternotomy with continuous cardiac perfusion and moderate hypothermia. Two vents were inserted to provide sufficient relief to the heart during perfusion.

Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Parkville, Victoria, Australia.
Aim: This systematic review aimed to report on health outcomes of newborn babies admitted to special care nurseries up to age 1 year, and where possible, compare their outcomes with those of healthy term babies.
Methods: Systematic searches through Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed and Embase databases. We included studies reporting outcomes up to age 1 year for special care nursery babies and moderate-late preterm babies, restricting to studies published after 2000.
Association between cerebrospinal fluid levels of neuro-specific enolase after hypothermia alone and in combination with neurodevelopmental outcomes at age six years.

Division of Neonatology, Department of Maternal, Fetus and Perinatal Center, Saitama Children's Medical Center, Saitama, Japan.
Background: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is still associated with death and sequelae including cerebral palsy and intellectual disability despite induced hypothermia. Biomarkers, as early predictive indicators of adverse outcomes, are lacking.
Aims: To investigate whether post-rewarming cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-neuro-specific enolase (NSE) levels after hypothermia are associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes at age six years, alone or when combined with amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as neuroimaging and neurophysiological indicators, respectively.
Predictive model of neurodevelopmental outcome in neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.
Early Hum Dev

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology, The Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Electronic address:
Objectives: To build an early, prognostic model for adverse outcome in infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) receiving therapeutic hypothermia (TH) based on brain magnetic resonance images (MRI), electrophysiological tests and clinical assessments were performed during the first 5 days of life.
Methods: Retrospective study of 182 neonates with HIE and managed with TH. The predominant pattern of HIE brain injury on MRI performed following cooling was scored by neuroradiologists.
