Background The Hypotension Prediction Index (the index) software is a machine learning algorithm that detects physiologic changes that may lead to hypotension. The original validation used a case control (backward) analysis that has been suggested to be biased. This study therefore conducted […]

Background Patient–ventilator dyssynchrony is frequently observed during assisted mechanical ventilation. However, the effects of expiratory muscle contraction on patient–ventilator interaction are underexplored. The authors hypothesized that active expiration would affect patient–ventilator interaction and they tested their hypothesis in a mixed cohort of invasively […]

Previous work has shown the significance of electrical stimulation of the vagal nerve to attenuate inflammation. To decipher how the brain regulates the body’s immune response, activities of neurons in the brain stems of mice were monitored […]
