...they are. It's accepted, based on various studies, that between 4% and 18% of people who are resuscitated after cardiac arrest have an NDE. Researchers tend to fall into one of two camps. The first argues that an NDE is a purely physiological phenomenon that occurs within an oxygen-starved brain. "There's nothing mysterious about NDEs," says Mark Mahowald, director of the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center. "Many people want it to be a religious, paranormal or supernatural phenomenon. The fact that NDEs can be explained scientifically detracts from the mystique...
Screwcap proponents would argue that cork?s unpredictability has driven this trend. Taint is part of this, but so is another factor: oxygen. A typical wine cork contains millions of air-filled cells, but because every cork is different, some winemakers think they cause inconsistent aging of the wine. Screwcaps let in less air, and since their cellular composition is man-made, adopters like Bonny Doon say the caps offer a more controlled oxidation process that allows wine to age as the winemaker intended. (Plastic corks, meanwhile, still control a larger corner of the alternative-stopper market than screwcaps...
...aftermath of that tragedy, federal law was rewritten to require miners to have wireless communication systems, and to provide them with respirators containing more than the one hour of oxygen the Sago miners had. But the law hasn't gone into effect yet, and it wouldn't have speeded up the rescue effort in this case. The rescuers had only gone about 800 ft. by yesterday evening - and there's no reason to believe the trapped miners are alive, or that they even survived the first collapse. Boreholes drilled from above into the chambers where the miners might have found...
...surge on an electrical line, for brief periods of time. In some, but not all cases, this interruption can result in loss of consciousness or uncontrolled muscle spasms. Seizures can also be caused by more obvious events, such as a brain injury, fever, low blood sugar or lack of oxygen...
...underfunded since the Olympics. The fire brigade which now holds jurisdiction over forest fires lacks the appropriate knowledge of these types of situations." Adding to the malaise, firefighters accuse the government of failing to replenish their equipment since the the 2004 Summer Olympics. "Our gloves are charred and the oxygen masks necessary to fight fires are non-existent," says Constantine Tzavaras, president of the Greek firefighters union in the greater Athens area. "We haven't been given fresh boots since they [authorities] sent fresh batches ahead of the Olympics...
