Answer and Explanation:

The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction, which occurred around 66 million years ago, is defined as a mass extinction that wiped out around three-quarters of species on Earth.

Among the organisms that disappeared during this event, we find mammals, birds, fish, sharks, pterosaurs, birds, reptiles, insects, and some plant species.

This event is marked by the presence of a sediment layer known as the K-Ph boundary which showed important levels of iridium, an element that is abundant in craters. Therefore, after its discovery, scientists hypothesize this extinction occurred due to the impact of the giant Chicxulub crater which changed the conditions of the atmosphere.

Improved Post-Resuscitation Survival Time with Adjuvant Cytosolic Energy Replenishment in a Murine Model of
Galina-37 [17]

A murine model of hemorrhagic refractory shock showed improved post-resuscitation survival time with adjuvant cytosolic energy replenishment.

<h3>Objective:</h3>
  • Resuscitation of a patient with refractory hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock (HS) is difficult.
  • HS is linked to severe reductions of cellular energy nucleotides, which can result in cardio-circulatory arrest and mortality.
  • Vasopressors, most often norepinephrine, are typically briefly supplied to control a persistent hypotension that is not rectified by intensive resuscitation attempts in order to avert an impending cardio-circulatory arrest.
<h3>Method</h3>

The following five groups of 10 each were randomly assigned to 50 male Sprague-Dawley rats:

  • HS/conventional resuscitation (CR), HS/CR+norepinephrine, HS/CR+vasopressin, HS/CR+vesicles, and HS/CR+ATPv.
  • ATPv, which are highly fusogenic lipid vesicles encasing ATP, were used to directly replace the cytosol with ATP.
  • Direct cytosolic ATP delivery is made possible by the instantaneous fusion of the ATPv with the cell membrane.
  • The study's endpoint was established as the post-resuscitation survival period.
<h3>Results:</h3>

The SI and MAP showed that all animals experienced the same kind of shock. According to the long-rank Mantel-Cox test and Kaplan-Meier survival curves, the median post resuscitation survival periods were as follows: HS/CR+Nor epinephrine = 35.5 min; HS/CR+Vasopressin = 20 min; HS/CR+Lipid Vesicles control = 88.5 min; and HS/CR+ATPv = 158.5 min
