The protocol was often used to treat sprains, strains, cuts, bruises, and other similar injuries. [3] Ice has been used for injuries since at least the 1960s, in a case where a 12-year-old boy needed to have a limb reattached. The limb was preserved before surgery by using ice.
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.

Hibernation induction trigger (HIT) proteins isolated from mammals have been used in the study of organ recovery rates. One study in 1997 found that delta 2 opioid and hibernation induction trigger (HIT) proteins were not able to increase the recovery rate of heart tissue during ischemia. While unable to increase recovery rates at the time of ...
Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), also known as non-exercise physical activity (NEPA), [1] is energy expenditure during activities that are not part of a structured exercise program. NEAT includes physical activity at the workplace, hobbies, standing instead of sitting, walking around, climbing stairs, doing chores, and fidgeting .
Thermogenesis is the process of heat production in organisms.It occurs in all warm-blooded animals, and also in a few species of thermogenic plants such as the Eastern skunk cabbage, the Voodoo lily (Sauromatum venosum), and the giant water lilies of the genus Victoria.
When an organism reaches this stage the metabolic rate increases significantly and thermogenesis increases the T b (body temp.) If the T a continues to decrease far below the LCT hypothermia occurs. Alternatively, evaporative heat loss for cooling occurs when temperatures above the TNZ, the upper critical zone (UCT), are realized (Speakman and ...
CCrISP was designed by Mr. Iain Anderson, Senior Lecturer in Surgery, Manchester University, for the Royal College of Surgeons of England, as a result of the Hillsborough disaster. The first course was run in 1998 by the Hillsborough Trust. [1] The 2nd edition was published in 2003, the 3rd in 2010 and the current (4th edition) in 2017.
Arthroscopic surgery. Minimally invasive procedures were pioneered by interventional radiologists who had first introduced angioplasty and the catheter-delivered stent.Many other minimally invasive procedures have followed where images of all parts of the body can be obtained and used to direct interventional instruments by way of catheters (needles and fine tubes), so that many conditions ...
