A quantitative model for refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum during vascular smooth muscle asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations [PDF]
We have developed a quantitative model for the creation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ gradients near the inner surface of the plasma membrane (PM). In particular we simulated the refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via PM-SR junctions during asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations in smooth muscle cells of the rabbit inferior vena cava.

Machine learning-based analysis of hyperspectral images for automated sepsis diagnosis [PDF]
Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality and critical illness worldwide. While robust biomarkers for early diagnosis are still missing, recent work indicates that hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has the potential to overcome this bottleneck by monitoring microcirculatory alterations.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion in anesthesiology
Disparities in population health are driven by a dynamic set of factors, known as social determinants of health. Although individualsmay not have a direct influence over the upstream social factors (poverty, homelessness, racism) that drive disparities ...

Offline reinforcement learning with uncertainty for treatment strategies in sepsis [PDF]
Guideline-based treatment for sepsis and septic shock is difficult because sepsis is a disparate range of life-threatening organ dysfunctions whose pathophysiology is not fully understood. Early intervention in sepsis is crucial for patient outcome, yet those interventions have adverse effects and are frequently overadministered.

Structural network heterogeneities and network dynamics: a possible dynamical mechanism for hippocampal memory reactivation [PDF]
The hippocampus has the capacity for reactivating recently acquired memories [1-3] and it is hypothesized that one of the functions of sleep reactivation is the facilitation of consolidation of novel memory traces [4-11]. The dynamic and network processes underlying such a reactivation remain, however, unknown.

An approach to study recruitment/derecruitment dynamics in a patient-specific computational model of an injured human lung [PDF]
We present a new approach for physics-based computational modeling of diseased human lungs. Our main object is the development of a model that takes the novel step of incorporating the dynamics of airway recruitment/de-recruitment into an anatomically accurate, spatially resolved model of respiratory system mechanics, and the relation of these dynamics

Comparison of the qCON and qNOX indices for the assessment of unconsciousness level and noxious stimulation response during surgery [PDF]
The objective of this work is to compare the performances of two electroencephalogram based indices for detecting loss of consciousness and loss of response to nociceptive stimulation.
