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.

By controlling the temperature of the water running through the gel pads, the Arctic Sun can help regulate a patient's body temperature. Controlled rewarming has been cited in the literature as beneficial in preventing reperfusion injury. A complaint levied against the Arctic Sun is the risk of skin injury.
Passive external rewarming involves the use of a person's own ability to generate heat by providing properly insulated dry clothing and moving to a warm environment. [66] Passive external rewarming is recommended for those with mild hypothermia. [66] Active external rewarming involves applying warming devices externally, such as a heating ...
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]
Choice of rewarming method depends on the suspected extent of skin injury and severity of hypothermia (if present). [11] Passive rewarming techniques such as blankets may be sufficient for milder injuries. [11] Active rewarming techniques such as warm intravenous fluids or warm water baths may be needed for more severe injuries.
Excessive rewarming with temperatures above 37 °C can increase the risk of cerebral ischemia secondary to the increased oxygen demand that occurs with rapid rewarming. [2] Several theories have been proposed, with one being during re-warming, the body releases increasing catecholamines which increase heat production leading to a loss of ...
Like other authenticated Diffie–Hellman schemes, MQV provides protection against an active attacker. The protocol can be modified to work in an arbitrary finite group, and, in particular, elliptic curve groups, where it is known as elliptic curve MQV (ECMQV). MQV was initially proposed by Alfred Menezes, Minghua Qu and Scott Vanstone in 1995.
Current Protocols is a series of laboratory manuals for life scientists. The first title, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, was established in 1987 by the founding editors Frederick M. Ausubel, Roger Brent, Robert Kingston, David Moore, Jon Seidman, Kevin Struhl, and John A. Smith of the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Molecular Biology and the Harvard Medical School ...
