BACKGROUND
Since 2000, resuscitation guidelines remain uniform across all cardiac arrest patients, focusing on the delivery of chest compressions to a standardized rate and depth and algorithmic vasopressor dosing. Although the concept of goal-directed hemodynamic optimization as a treatment
Once the eligibility is confirmed, approximately 1-3 weeks after the screening/baseline visit, the subject will receive the first infusion. Subsequent treatments will occur every other week in the subject's home, administered by a nurse.
On each of these visits, the subject will receive one
Spina bifida can be a devastating neurological congenital anomaly. It results from incomplete closure of the neural tube between 22 and 28 embryological days. Its incidence is approximately 1-2 per 1,000 births. It is considered the most common congenital anomaly of the central nervous system
Background:
Despite recent advances in supportive care for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), mortality remains >40%. Fever worsens and hypothermia mitigates animal models of ALI and in small non-randomized in patients with ARDS. Since hypothermia reduces oxygen utilization as
Despite emergency coronary revascularization coupled with medical stabilization, intra-aortic balloon pump have significantly improved survival in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction, mortality still remains excessively high, being actually about 30-50%. Future
Malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMCI) has a fatality rate of up to 80%, due to massive brain edema, increased intracranial pressure, and cerebral herniation. The herniation-induced death usually occured during the first week, despite aggressive osmotherapy with mannitol or hypertonic

Project Title: "Efficacy of botulinum toxin injection in reducing limb pain in patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome"
Purpose: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a condition affecting anywhere from 1 to 5 million Americans including
Temperature control in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, is a critical aspect of these patients' care. In this context, mild temperature reduction for 24 hours post cardiac arrest has been shown to improve neurological outcomes.
Hypothermia is commonly induced using a combination of internal and
Cardiac arrest is a major public health issue. Arizona has been a leader in improving long-term survival by introducing new and innovative resuscitation approaches including "Chest Compression-Only CPR" and "Cardiocerebral Resuscitation". Post-resuscitation care is the next great opportunity for
Several studies have identified fever as an independent predictor of poor outcome in patients with acute stroke. Experimental data and clinical studies indicate that therapeutic hypothermia has neuroprotective effects associated with better clinical outcome, probably through reduction of infarct
Objective and Hypothesis:
To determine if continued mechanical ventilation (low tidal volume ventilation) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery will reduce the degree of pulmonary atelectasis post-operatively, when compared to controls not
In this randomized clinical trial, patients with IPH within 6 hours of onset will be randomized to one of two study arms. In one arm, patients will have 72 hours of TTM to MIH (32-34 degree Celcius). In the second arm, patients will have 72 hours of TTM to Normal Temperature (NT)(36-37 degrees
