The pons ( pl.: pontes; from Latin pons, "bridge") is part of the brainstem that in humans and other mammals, lies inferior to the midbrain, superior to the medulla oblongata and anterior to the cerebellum . The pons is also called the pons Varolii ("bridge of Varolius"), after the Italian anatomist and surgeon Costanzo Varolio (1543–75). [1]
Targeted temperature management ( TTM) previously known as therapeutic hypothermia or protective hypothermia is an active treatment that tries to achieve and maintain a specific body temperature in a person for a specific duration of time in an effort to improve health outcomes during recovery after a period of stopped blood flow to the brain.

Cold-induced diuresis, or cold diuresis, is a phenomenon that occurs in humans after exposure to a hypothermic environment, usually during mild to moderate hypothermia. It is currently thought to be caused by the redirection of blood from the extremities to the core due to peripheral vasoconstriction , which increases the fluid volume in the core.
Afterdrop. Afterdrop is a continued cooling of core temperature during the initial stages of rewarming from hypothermia . Afterdrop is attributed to the return of cold blood from extremities to the core due to peripheral vasodilatation, thus causing a further decrease of deep body temperature. [1] However a second theory explains afterdrop as a ...
Hipotermia adalah suatu kondisi di mana mekanisme tubuh untuk pengaturan suhu kesulitan mengatasi tekanan suhu dingin. [1] Hipotermia juga dapat didefinisikan sebagai suhu bagian dalam tubuh di bawah 35 °C. [2] Tubuh manusia mampu mengatur suhu pada zona termonetral, yaitu antara 36,5-37,5 °C. Di luar suhu tersebut, respon tubuh untuk ...
Apr 16, 2024 · Drowsiness or very low energy. Confusion or memory loss. Loss of consciousness. In infants, bright red, cold skin. People with hypothermia usually aren't aware of their condition. The symptoms often begin gradually. Also, the confused thinking associated with hypothermia prevents self-awareness.
8. On 22 May 2021, 21 professional runners died from hypothermia out of the 172 competing in a government-run 100-kilometre (62 mi) trail running race [note 2] held in the Yellow River Stone Forest in Jingtai County, Gansu, China. When a cold front struck, rain and possibly graupel were carried by gusts reaching level 9 (75–88 km/h [47–55 ...
