Does the mammalian #circadian clock manage to temperature-compensate during deep #hypothermia? This study shows that mice maintain circadian rhythms during a #hibernation -like hypothermic state, and that this is supported by systemic regulatory mechanisms @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4tW1pJt

Dr. Gale R. Burstein, the Erie County Dept of Health commissioner, said Mr. Shah Alam’s death was caused by complications from an ulcer that bored through his intestines. The ulcer formed when #hypothermia decreased blood flow, weakening the lining of his intestines, while #dehydration led to a buildup of stomach acid that eroded his digestive system, she said.
“The symptoms of a perforated ulcer are severe pain,” Dr. Burstein said….“It’s a medical emergency.”

It’s freezing cold and you’ve lost power. Here’s what emergency doctors want you to do
By DEVI SHASTRI
Updated 4:34 PM EST, January 30, 2026MILWAUKEE (AP) — "Freezing temperatures and long-term power outages can quickly create dangerous health situations.
"Even at seemingly routine winter temperatures, the cold can exhaust the body and overwork the heart over time. The indoor risk of hypothermia and frostbite are especially a concern in areas where the infrastructure isn’t built for wintry weather and people aren’t as used to it.
"Here are tips from emergency room doctors on how to stay safe.
What are the signs of hypothermia?"Doctors diagnose hypothermia based on body temperature and symptoms, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
"Mild hypothermia — when the body temperature is 89.6 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (32 to 35 degrees Celsius) — can cause shivering, exhaustion, sleepiness, weak pulse and clumsiness.
"Moderate hypothermia is when the body temperature is between 82.4 and 89.6 F (28 to 32 C). Symptoms include slurred speech, slowed heart rate, hallucinations and decreased shivering.
"At less than 82.4 F (28 C), the body starts shutting down. Signs include loss of reflexes, complete muscle stiffness, fluid in the lungs, coma and death.
"If someone is shivering for a long time, it’s time to get ahead of things and get them somewhere warm, said Dr. Ben Weston, an ER doctor who directs health policy for the Milwaukee County Office of Emergency Management.
"If someone is confused or showing more severe signs, call 911 right away, he said.
"Recognize that the cold can sneak up on you
"Some of the most dangerous situations happen when the temperature is low for a long time, even 30 to 40 F (minus-1 to 4 C), but not obviously arctic, Weston said.
"In these situations, long-term cold exposure taxes the body, driving up blood pressure and working the heart.
"Shivering, a normal response to cold, is a workout for your body, Weston said. Doing so for hours can lead to physical exhaustion — and older adults or people with other health issues are at higher risk.
" 'That additional stress and strain on the body and energy production can really push people to the limit,' Weston said.
"People might not realize they need help, or think to move into a different room or add layers.
" 'You think you’re going to be OK with a sweatshirt and sweatpants and it kind of creeps up on people,' he said.
Stay hydrated with water and nonalcoholic warm drinks
"Doctors note that it can be hard to tell when you’re dehydrated in cold weather, and being near a heater can further cause dehydration.
"Staying hydrated helps the body stay warm, though, so they advise to keep drinking water.
"Alcohol impairs the body’s ability to deal with cold, said Dr. Abhi Mehrotra, a University of North Carolina emergency medicine physician. It also can make you feel warmer than you actually are, Weston said, and affect your judgment.
Layer up and stay dry
"Layering in the cold weather is key to helping the body trap heat.
"The North Carolina Department of Emergency Management suggests wearing warm, loose-fitting, lightweight clothing in many layers that are easy to add or remove. It also recommends covering your mouth with scarves to protect the lungs from directly breathing in extremely cold air.
"You lose the most heat from your head, hands and feet, Weston said, so make sure to cover those. While some online posts have shown people wearing latex gloves under their winter gloves for extra warmth, Weston said this is not ideal because it traps moisture and isn’t breathable.
"Be wary of internet hacks like putting cayenne pepper in your socks. The pepper actually irritates the skin and the tingling it causes can mask frostbite symptoms, Weston said.
"Your body loses heat through evaporation, so one of the most important things is to make sure you’re dry at all times. Dry socks are one of the most important things to have on, Weston said.
Find a warm room and be careful of heat sources
"Weston and Mehrotra recommended finding smaller spaces to contain heat.
"That could mean closing all the doors in the house and keeping a heater in one room, as Weston recommends. Mehrotra suggested you could even pitch a tent indoors or get into a sleeping bag to create an even more confined space to trap body heat.
"Both said one of the biggest things is to be safe with heat sources. Keep them away from flammable items. Do not use gas stoves, ovens or bring carbon monoxide -emitting heat sources indoors.
"Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that is one of the most common killers of people during cold snaps.
"If anyone in the home has symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, such as nausea and headaches, get outside to fresh air, Mehrotra said.
Check on your neighbors
"Young children, older adults and people with chronic health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure are the most at risk when it’s cold, Mehrotra said.
"Above all, the doctors said community awareness is key during dangerous cold spells. Many don’t realize they need help until someone asks.
" 'Check on your neighbors,' Mehrotra said. 'You don’t know how people are doing.' "

COLDEST CONDITIONS:
Thursday night and Friday will be the worst of the #temperatures and #windchill readings in the #Northland from this latest #arctic #cold snap.
#Frostbite can form in as little as five minutes with this conditions, so do you part to stay safe! Also watch out for #hypothermia conditions.

For US-ians expecting unusually cold #weather this week, a warning:
#Hypothermia creeps up on you. When you have it, *you don't feel cold*. I tell you this from my experience. You'll feel sleepy - which is dangerous. You could sleep yourself to death, rather than seeking help.
I realise this is a catch-22: burn combustibles to stay warm and risk carbon monoxide poisoning; bundle up and tough it out and risk hypothermia.
Think it thru & take care, friends.

Today, another infant, Taim Al-Khawaja, died from hypothermia in Gaza City, along with a 9-year-old girl, Hadeel Al-Masri. Just yesterday, 8-month-old Rahaf Al-Jazar also lost her life to the cold. The occupation continues to block shelter aid at the border.

Contemplated bicycling to the store, but first I walked outside (where it's still sprinkling)
🥶
Then, decided even though I'm happy bicycling through the rain, bicycling through freezing cold rain is a step too far (without gearing up significantly)!! Will try again tomorrow, hopefully with some sun. Nothing critical.

Imagine, 2 years into the genocide, living on the street with no infrastructure and being hit by a massive freezing rain.
The misery of the 2 millions of starving Palestinians is turning into an even worse catastrophe than before.
I just can't understand how disgusting the "world" is, sitting idle, letting Israel get away with these crimes, day after day.

#Hypothermia (2010)
Two families' idyllic ice-fishing vacation turns deadly when they awaken a creature beneath the frozen lake, forcing them to rely on each other if they want to make it safely back to land.

Çok para harcayıp, hâlâ başarısız olduğum tek şey bu Hipotermi korkusuyla aldığım "su geçirmeyen"mont ve yağmurluklardı!
Bu yağmurlukların içindeki sıcak ve nemli havanın, soğuk iç çeperine çarptığı yerde oluşan buğu, sizi neredeyse yağmur kadar ıslatıyor ve hareket etmeyi bıraktığınız anda tekrar o pahalı mont yada yağmurlukların içinde hipotermi tehlikesine maruz kalıyorsunuz!
Yağmurdan yada kendi terinizden mutlaka ıslanıyorsunuz!
O yüzden profesyoneller şemsiye taşıyor!

Für die weniger faktenscheuen, hier die WHO zum Thema:
❞ The newborn infant regulates body temperature much less efficiently than does an adult. … In fact, a naked baby exposed to an environmental temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) at birth, suffers the same heat loss as does a naked adult at 0°C (32°F).❝
❞low environmental temperatures are not necessary for the development of the condition. A high incidence of hypothermia [in babies] has been reported in places with ambient temperatures of 26-30°C❝ [!!]

Not only in #Gaza - also in other warzones in the #MiddleEast little human beings loose their lives everyday... the body of a #Syrian baby girl who died of #hypothermia.

#NBC 4 in DC did a rundown on #hypothermia. As of this moment, any surviving #passengers have been in the water for 90 minutes. At these temperatures, hypothermia sets in after only 30 minutes. It's hard to imagine anyone could have survived, but there are no casualty reports. #DCA #crash #airline

It's currently cold as all heck in #AnnArbor; but with no clouds you can currently see (east to west) Mars, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn in the sky…

EXTREME COLD ALERT:
For the first time since they changed the name from #WindChill #Warning, nearly all of the #Northland is under a #Extreme #Cold Warning from Saturday night through Tuesday morning.
Wind chills as cold as 45-below are possible. #Frostbite can form in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin, plus the increase risk for #hypothermia if you are outside with improper clothing.
Please take it safe out there!

So, now we have the figures for the #Westminster seats in the North of #Scotland and how they will be affected by the withdrawal of the #WinterFuelPayment.
Unlike #ScroungerStarmer, these elderly people won't have #RichDonors to stop them from getting #hypothermia this winter.

Yesterday (I think) I followed a link I was interested in (from I don't remember who) on here & it took me to the link below. The article makes good points. Goodness, does this news media's readers understand words such as kompromat (from the Russian компрома? We had to look it up!😂

During the hot desert days, #dehydration & heat stroke have become common, acc/to #aid groups, & nighttime temps, wind & rain are creating conditions ripe for #hypothermia. #Doctors are particularly concerned about those elements for #children, since many have lower body fat than adults & may be #malnourished from their journeys.
The govt had argued that the #children were not yet in #US #custody so it had no obligation to provide services [what now?]

Warming is warming, but another #winter is coming and in different parts of the world people will be freezing. Not far from here, #Russia continues to destroy Ukrainian infrastructure, and #Ukraine is preparing for another hardcore winter.
And this affects not only those fighting on the front lines, but also civilians in cities and rural areas.
That's why we want to add our micro contribution to winter aid and take up the production of chemical warmers, disposable and reusable.
- Reusable ones (sodium thiosulfate or sodium acetate with a mechanical trigger) in the form of larger and smaller pads, as well as inserts for vests (first aid for hypothermia).
- Disposable in the form of shoe and gloves inserts (catalytic iron oxidation),
We are looking for people willing to develop prototypes from publicly available materials, which we will test, publish documentation (under a C0 license) and put into production. We do not intend to sell it. We will collect donations to cover the costs, and the produced heaters will go to medical and aid groups."

Did you know that #hypothermia can adversely affect blood clotting? This is why it is very important to keep acute #trauma patients warm.
We'll post links to informative content wherever we find it, and in this case that happens to be #linkedin
