hypothermia cap

Examples of hypothermia cap in the following topics:

• Chemotherapy and Hair Loss

  • Cooling the scalp using a hypothermia cap can help prevent or reduce hair loss from chemotherapy.

• Catabolite Activator Protein (CAP): An Activator Regulator

  • When glucose levels decline in E. coli, catabolite activator protein (CAP) is bound by cAMP to promote transcription of the lac operon.
  • The CAP assists in production in the absence of glucose.
  • CAP has a characteristic helix-turn-helix structure that allows it to bind to successive major grooves on DNA.
  • When cAMP binds to CAP, the complex binds to the promoter region of the genes that are needed to use the alternate sugar sources .
  • In these operons, a CAP-binding site is located upstream of the RNA-polymerase-binding site in the promoter.

• Barrier Methods

  • The cervical cap is a form of female barrier contraception.
  • There are two types of cervical caps, cavity rim caps, which adhere to the cervix, and other caps, which adhere to the vaginal walls around the cervix.
  • After use, cervical caps are washed and stored for reuse.
  • Reusable caps may last for one or two years.
  • The diaphragm, like the cervical cap, is typically used with a spermicide.

• Patella (The Knee)

  • The patella (knee cap) is the bone between the fibula and femur.
  • The patella or knee cap is the bone between the fibula and femur.

• Homefront Security

  • The request was initially opposed, for the CAP was still a young and inexperienced organization.
  • By the end of the war, CAP pilots had flown more than 500,000 mission hours.
  • At its height, The CAP operated 21 coastal bases in 13 states along the Eastern Seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico.
  • This policy was reviewed, however, when the CAP encountered a turkey shoot opportunity.
  • In October 1942, the CAP planned a program to recruit and train youth, with an emphasis on flight training.

• Unions and Intersections

  • $\displaystyle P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$
  • Where $P(A\cap B)$ is the intersection of the two sets.
  • The symbol for intersection is $\cap$, and is associated with the word "and", because $A \cap B$  is the set of elements that are in $A$ and $B$ simultaneously.
  • In mathematical notation, the intersection of $A$ and $B$ is written as $A \cap B = \{x: x \in A \ \text{and} \ x \in B\}$.
  • For example, if $A = \{1, 3, 5, 7\}$ and $B = \{1, 2, 4, 6\}$, then $A \cap B = \{1\}$ because $1$ is the only element that appears in both sets $A$ and $B$.

• Survival Needs

  • Shelter: Since exposure to cold and heat can lead to hypothermia or hyperthermia, shelter which offers protection from extremes of heat, cold, intense sun, and prolonged precipitation is a human survival need.

• Signs and Symptoms of Shock

  • Hypothermia due to decreased perfusion and evaporation of sweat, and thirst and dry mouth due to fluid depletion, may also be present.

• The Addition Rule

  • $\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(H\cup F)&=P(H)+P(F)-P(H\cap F)\\ &=\frac { 13 }{ 52 } +\frac { 12 }{ 52 } -\frac { 3 }{ 52 } \end{aligned}$
  • In symbols: $P(A \cap B) = 0$.
  • $P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) \qquad \text{when} \qquad A \cap B = \emptyset$ 

• The Multiplication Rule

  • That is, in the equation $\displaystyle P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$, if we multiply both sides by $P(B)$, we obtain the Multiplication Rule.
  • $\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(A \cap B) &= P(A) \cdot P(B|A)\\ &= \frac { 4 }{ 52 } \cdot \frac { 3 }{ 51 } \\ &=0.0045 \end{aligned}$
  • Note that when $A$ and $B$ are independent, we have that $P(B|A)= P(B)$, so the formula becomes $P(A \cap B)=P(A)P(B)$, which we encountered in a previous section.
