Responses to Heat and Cold Stress02:45

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

14.7K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Cold Weather Concreting01:27

Cold Weather Concreting

376
When freshly poured concrete is exposed to freezing temperatures before it has set, the water within the concrete can freeze. This expansion disrupts the setting process, delays chemical reactions necessary for hardening, and increases the volume of pores within the hardened concrete, which weakens its overall structure. If the concrete manages to reach an appreciable strength before it freezes, the damage can be somewhat mitigated.
To counteract the negative impacts of cold weather, ensuring...

Masonry in Cold and Hot Weather Conditions

340
In cold weather, masonry construction requires specific precautions to ensure mortar does not freeze before curing, as this can significantly weaken its strength and watertightness. Mortar temperature should be maintained between 60°F and 80°F to support proper hydration and curing. Below 40°F, mortar water must be heated, but should not exceed 120°F as high temperatures can reduce mortar's compressive and bond strength.
Other key practices include keeping masonry units...

Burn Injuries

4.3K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction

642
Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) describes a swift decrease in kidney function occurring over hours to days, characterized by the kidneys' failure to remove waste products from the bloodstream. This leads to dangerous complications like metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, and electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. AKI is common in both hospital and outpatient settings, often triggered by dehydration, sepsis, or exposure to nephrotoxic...

Acute Kidney Injury II: Pathophysiology

982
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes are categorized into three primary categories based on the location of the injury: prerenal, intrarenal (or intrinsic), and postrenal causes. This classification guides clinical management and illustrates how different pathways can impair kidney function.Etiology and Pathophysiology of Acute Kidney Injury1. Prerenal causesEtiology: Prerenal Acute Kidney Injury, the most common type, occurs when reduced blood flow to the kidneys decreases filtration capacity...

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Organ Preservation
  • Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Background:

  • Ex vivo organ preservation during transport leads to tissue injury, energetic depletion, and impaired cellular homeostasis.
  • Reoxygenation of anoxically injured tissue can cause further damage due to oxygen free radical production upon rewarming.
  • Normothermic reperfusion exacerbates injury due to high energy demand on hypothermic, metabolically compromised cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate strategies for mitigating rewarming injury during organ transplantation.
  • To improve post-transplant graft function and survival by addressing cellular damage during preservation and rewarming.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of cellular responses to cold anoxic storage and subsequent reoxygenation/rewarming.
  • Evaluation of oxygen free radical production and mitochondrial damage during rewarming.
  • Assessment of controlled, slow oxygenated warming versus abrupt rewarming strategies.

Main Results:

  • Abrupt rewarming triggers significant damage, including mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and inflammation.
  • Pre-oxygenation in cold conditions offers partial protection against rewarming injury.
  • Controlled, slow oxygenated warming effectively counteracts rewarming injury, restoring metabolic homeostasis.

Conclusions:

  • Rewarming injury is a critical factor limiting transplant success.
  • Controlled, oxygenated warming prior to implantation is a superior strategy to improve graft outcomes.
  • Gentle restitution of metabolic function enhances enzyme kinetics and molecular homeostasis, leading to better graft function and survival.
