There's been no shortage of rumors this year, from the relatively mild — like the introduction of a new "piano black" color scheme — to the particularly divisive — like the supposed removal of the headphone jack.
A steel/TiC nano-composite surface layer with ultra fine grains of less than 600 nm was fabricated on mild steel substrate by introduction of nano-sized TiC powder into the stir zone employing four passes of friction stir processing.
Despite enormous efforts in recent years to improve quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by the development of new CPR-guidelines and to enhance post-resuscitation care particularly by the introduction of mild therapeutic hypothermia and early coronary intervention, survival rates after OHCA remain unsatisfyingly low in many countries.
However, most of the corresponding studies were conducted before the introduction of mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH).
The introduction of mild therapeutic hypothermia and the improvement of critical care have led to a decline of the hospital mortality of such patients [ 23].
Preclinical introduction of mild hypothermia by means of 4°C cold solutions could be a beneficial criteria in the future treatment, and probably affects the outcome of these patients.
In spite of the introduction of mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH), mortality rates remain high in patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest (CA).
The introduction of mild hypothermia and standardized treatment protocols in the past decade has improved neurological outcomes in survivors of cardiac arrest.
With the introduction of mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) the treatment of patients after cardiac arrest has changed significantly in the last years.
Despite improvements in pre-hospital care and the introduction of mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) [ 2], mortality rates of out-of-hospital CA victims are still high, although regional variations are often reported [ 3, 4].
