Tropical Atlantic cooling and African deforestation correlate to drought, report scientists
Against the backdrop of the Montreal Summit on global climate being held this week, an article on African droughts and monsoons, by a University of California, Santa Barbara scientist and others, which appears in the December issue of the journal Geology, underlines concern about the effects of global climate change. Tropical ocean temperatures and land vegetation have an important effect...Even a little cooling helps after cardiac arrest
Is that salt marsh healthy? To answer this, Sea Grant biologists are cracking open common marsh snails and counting parasitic worms. Their claim: the more parasites, the healthier the marsh. While the parasite hypothesis may conflict with conventional ideas about infectious disease and human health (malaria, for example, is caused by a parasite), the worms the scientists are investigating...Super Cooling Coil, Trans-Blot cell from Bio-Rad
Description:The super cooling coil, Trans-Blot cell, provides temperature regulation for native enzyme, high-intensity, and extended electrophoretic transfer (blotting) applications performed with the Trans-Blot cell. Use of the super cooling coil requires connection to an external water recirculator, which is not included....Avoid sudden death by quick cooling
An emergency medicine expert said in New York on Thursday, at an American Medical Association press briefing on heart disease, that rapidly cooling people whose hearts have suddenly stopped, could provide a way to bring them back to life without organ damage. Dr. Lance B. Becker, Director of the Emergency Resuscitation Center at the University of Chicago said that thousands of people die...Cooling treatment for newborn asphyxia
Approximately 1 in 500 babies suffer from asphyxia, which can lead to brain injury, multiple disabilities or even death in severe cases. Around 25 per cent of babies who suffer from a moderate lack of oxygen at birth will develop cerebral palsy.// There are currently no effective treatments to reduce the risk of asphyxia at birth, but recent small scale studies have found that lowering a baby's t...Cooling decreases heart attack effects
Reducing body temperature by just a few degrees minimises brain damage resulting from a cardiac arrest.When the heart suddenly stops - cardiac arrest - there's a great danger that the brain will be starved of oxygen. //Even if the person survives, they run the risk of permanent brain damage. It's been suggested that perhaps cooling the body can reduce the brain's demand for oxygen and this may pr...Stroke Patients May Benefit By Wearing Cooling Helmets
Strokes can be caused by blood clots in blood vessels of the brain. At a recent meeting of 29th International Stroke Conference of the American Heart Association’s two studies were presented using //Cooling Helmets in patients who had developed stroke. Interestingly both study show that cooling of the brain reduces the damage caused by stroke. Vinay Nadkarni, M.D., from the American...Cooling Can Reduce The Risk Of Brain Damage In Oxygen Deprived Newborns
Newborns deprived of oxygen can have a reduced risk of brain damage and cerebral palsy by having their brains cooled // for 72 hours after birth according to a recent study. Babies that received an inadequate supply of oxygen to the brain during delivery showed signs of being at a high risk for brain injury. However researchers say brain damage does not happen immediately when babies ar...SurgiCool surgeon cooling system
Description:Our SurgiCool surgeon cooling system has been developed utilizing all the expertise gained in high performance motorsports. Our cool suit is simple to use and provides powerful cooling from ice water circulated through an extensive network of capillary tubing. Systems can support from one to eight persons in the operating theater....Solid State Freezer/Cooling Stage, 110v, 30 x 30mm
Description:For some sectioning work, it is necessary to cool a specimen below room temperature. The Solid State Freezer can be fitted to most microtomes and will permit specimen cooling from ambient to -25C or lower, depending on conditions. The equipment consists of a cooling stage and a control unit. The cooling stage is best suited for operation with a base sledge microtome, but can be fitted to most rot...Solid State Freezer/Cooling Stage, 110V, 40 x 40mm
