Synopsis

Arctic Tech Failure examines the critical intersection of technology and human survival in extreme cold environments, focusing on the consequences when essential tools and systems break down. By blending historical analysis with scientific investigation, the book explores how polar explorers have adapted to the loss of vital technologies. A key insight is that over-reliance on technology can create vulnerabilities, demonstrating that while technology boosts exploration, fundamental survival skills remain crucial. The book delves into historical expeditions, highlighting instances where equipment failure led to life-threatening situations, and contrasts these with contemporary scientific understanding of human adaptation to technology-deprived environments. Readers will discover how the loss of communication or navigation tools drastically altered survival chances. It also addresses the physiological and psychological effects of technology loss, referencing scientific studies on cold exposure and stress. Beginning with the concept of "technological dependence," the book progresses through historical cases, analyzes the effects of technology loss, and offers practical recommendations for future endeavors. The book challenges the increasing dependence on sophisticated technology in polar regions and advocates for a balanced approach that prioritizes fundamental survival skills and a deep understanding of the environment, making it valuable for polar researchers, historians, and anyone interested in human resilience in extreme conditions.

The Cardiac Fulcrum - The...

Jorge C. Trainini, Alejandro...

A crucial point of this research was the discovery of a myocardial support that we have termed cardiac fulcrum. The heart cannot be anatomically suspended and free in the thoracic cavity because it would be impossible to eject blood at a speed of 200 cm/s. Consequently, it was necessary for it to have a point of attachment, which was identified and called cardiac fulcrum (lever supporting point). In this supporting point, the muscle fibers are inserted in its structure of connective, chondroid or osseous nature, according to the specimens analyzed. All the hearts (bovine, porcine and human) studied in our investigations with anatomical and histological techniques certified this binding. The fibers that give origin to the myocardium, as well as those at its end, are attached to the fulcrum, leaving the rest of the muscular structure free in the mediastinum. Moreover, the cardiac fulcrum is seen in human adult and gestational ultrasounds, in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
