Ann & Robert H. Lurie Childrenâs Hospital of Chicago was one of the original study centers for the Cool-CapÂ® hypothermia system. If your baby's pediatrician or neonatologist diagnoses HIE shortly after birth, he or she will determine if your baby may benefit from head cooling therapy.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a group of compounds which contain the elements chlorine, fluorine and carbon. At room temperatures, they are usually colourless gases or liquids which evaporate easily. They are generally unreactive and stable, non-toxic and non-flammable.
Chlorofluorocarbons are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, a researcher claims in a controversial new study. CFCs are already known to deplete ozone, but in-depth statistical analysis now suggests that CFCs are also the key driver in global climate change, rather than carbon dioxide emissions, the researcher argues.
