Benefits of voice recording technology
In his January 2008 Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS) article, “Nothing but the Truth,” Criss Brainard provides examples of two cases where voice recording technology could aid in clearing the names of emergency personnel who had been accused of … Continue reading

Hypothermia, shivering and cryonics
The objective of cryonics stabilization is to arrest metabolism of the patient so that he can be preserved indefinitely until resuscitation and rejuvenation technologies are available. Induction of hypothermia is the principal method employed in cryonics to reduce metabolism, thereby … Continue reading

Ben Best publishes on cryonics in Rejuvenation Research
A technical cryonics article to be published in the conference proceedings of a customarily peer-reviewed scientific journal, entitled “Scientific Justification of Cryonics Practice (pdf),” by Ben Best, President of the Cryonics Institute, will appear in the next issue (Volume 11, … Continue reading

Incomplete assessment of experimental cytoprotectants in rodent ischemia studies
In an effort to determine why so many cytoprotective treatments for stroke that are shown to be promising in laboratory animal experiments ultimately fail in human clinical trials, DeBow et al. performed an analysis of cytoprotection studies published in several … Continue reading

Fever and brain injury
Elevation of body temperature occurring as a result of hypothalamic coordination of autonomic, neuroendocrine, and behavioral responses in reaction to physiological injury or invasion is generally known as fever. Traditional thought is that the “febrile response” is beneficial in preventing … Continue reading

In situ chemical fixation of whale brains
As discussed by R. Michael Perry in his recent contribution to Cryonics Magazine, “Alternatives to Cryonics: A Very Preliminary Study,” (3rd Quarter 2007) chemical fixation of the brain may be a substitute for cryopreservation in circumstances where cryonics is not … Continue reading
Characterization of afterhyperpolarization (AHP) in cryopreserved brain slices
An ongoing quest in cryonics is the successful demonstration of memory sustainment after cryopreservation of the brain and rewarming from cryogenic temperatures. To that end, landmark experiments were performed by Pichugin, et al. (2006) on rat hippocampal brain slices which … Continue reading

Intranasal administration of vasoactive agents
Stabilization in cryonics requires immediate administration of vasoactive medications to maintain blood pressure, thereby assisting and enabling adequate perfusion during cardiopulmonary support. Traditionally, vasopressors such as epinephrine have been administered intravenously, requiring skilled technicians to establish an IV line as … Continue reading
