Good neurological outcome despite very low regional cerebral oxygen saturation during resuscitation—a prospective preclinical trial in 29 patients
Micro-CT-scanning as a valuable source of data for musculoskeletal studies in biology
Over time, so-called classic biological studies (such as anatomical studies) have evolved into modern, highly integrated strategies tackling important questions in evolutionary biology. Where early morphologists limited themselves to descriptions based on dissections, non-invasive imaging techniques nowadays allow to uncover details of anatomy in a way that morphologists can go far beyond basic and descriptive anatomy, e.g. through modelling. In this presentation, an overview is presented on some on-going research projects that rely on X-ray tomography data, which focus on the adaptive evolution of musculoskeletal systems in different vertebrate lineages. Cases discussed are (1) a study on the cranial anatomical diversity and functional implications in the feeding apparatus in seahorses, (2) as well as multi-body modelling of the tail system in these fishes; and (3) structural diversity in Darwin’s finches in relation to high performance seed cracking. These cases clearly show the (still not fully explored) potential for testing specific hypotheses with respect to adaptive evolution, where X-ray tomography provides the tools to model experimental conditions that are impossible to achieve with live specimens (e.g. perfect control of specific parameters)
ERC-ESICM guidelines on temperature control after cardiac arrest in adults
The aim of these guidelines is to provide evidence‑based guidance for temperature control in adults who are comatose after resuscitation from either in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, regardless of the underlying cardiac rhythm. These guidelines replace the recommendations on temperature management after cardiac arrest included in the 2021 post-resuscitation care guidelines co-issued by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). The guideline panel included thirteen international clinical experts who authored the 2021 ERC-ESICM guidelines and two methodologists who participated in the evidence review completed on behalf of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) of whom ERC is a member society. We followed the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to assess the certainty of evidence and grade recommendations. The panel provided suggestions on guideline implementation and identified priorities for future research. The certainty of evidence ranged from moderate to low. In patients who remain comatose after cardiac arrest, we recommend continuous monitoring of core temperature and actively preventing fever (defined as a temperature > 37.7 °C) for at least 72 h. There was insufficient evidence to recommend for or against temperature control at 32–36 °C or early cooling after cardiac arrest. We recommend not actively rewarming comatose patients with mild hypothermia after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) to achieve normothermia. We recommend not using prehospital cooling with rapid infusion of large volumes of cold intravenous fluids immediately after ROSC
