Abstract

The response of living systems when exposed to subfreezing environments has been an area of interest to the scientific, medical and lay communities for centuries[9]. Hypothermic conditions are encountered either naturally as a part of the ambient climate or artificially in conjunction with cryosurgical or cryopreservation procedures. In both cases the basic physico-chemical phenomena which govern the reaction of the living systems are complex and interactively coupled so that the prediction and regulation of the associated events is very difficult. However, during the past several decades significant progress has been made in devising useful techniques either to preserve biological systems at ultra low temperatures in a state of suspended animation (i.e. cryopreservation) or to cause selective, localized destruction of tissue (i.e. cryosurgery) in lieu of mechanical, chemical or electrical methods of surgery.
