Hypothermic cardiac arrest far away from the center providing rewarming with extracorporeal circulation

A 41-year-old man suffered hypothermic cardiac arrest after water immersion and was transported to our university hospital by ambulance helicopter for rewarming on cardiopulmonary bypass. He resumed spontaneous cardiac activity 6 h 52 min after cardiac arrest and recovered completely

Dobrushin's uniqueness for quantum lattice systems with nonlocal interaction

Albeverio S, Kondratiev Y, Röckner M, Tsikalenko TV. Dobrushin's uniqueness for quantum lattice systems with nonlocal interaction. COMMUNICATIONS IN MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS. 1997;189(2):621-630.Based on Dobrushin's fundamental criterion, we prove uniqueness of Euclidean Gibbs states for a certain class of quantum lattice systems with unbounded spins, nonharmonic pair potentials and infinite radius of interaction. The necessary estimates on Dobrushin's coefficients are obtained from the Log-Sobolev inequality which holds for the one-point conditional distributions on the infinite dimensional single spin (=loop) spaces

Uniqueness of Gibbs states for quantum lattice systems

Albeverio S, Kondratiev Y, Röckner M, Tsikalenko TV. Uniqueness of Gibbs states for quantum lattice systems. PROBABILITY THEORY AND RELATED FIELDS. 1997;108(2):193-218.We prove uniqueness of Euclidean Gibbs states for certain quantum lattice systems with unbounded spins. We use Dobrushin's uniqueness criterion. The necessary estimates for the Vasershtein distance between the corresponding one-point conditional distributions with boundary conditions differing only at one side, are obtained by proving a Log-Sobolev inequality on the infinite dimensional single spin (=loop) spaces. Some important classes of concrete examples to which all this applies are discussed
