A joint computational respiratory neural network-biomechanical model for breathing and airway defensive behaviors

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Data-driven computational neural network models have been used to study mechanisms for generating the motor patterns for breathing and breathing related behaviors such as coughing. These models have commonly been evaluated in open loop conditions or with

Cognitive dysfunction and its association with inflammation in acute exacerbations of COPD: protocol for a prospective hospital-based cohort

BMJ Open
Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by progressive airflow limitation that is not fully reversible and is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of lungs to noxious particles and gases.

Dead in the Night: Sleep-Wake and Time-Of-Day Influences on Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of epilepsy-related death in patients with refractory epilepsy. Convergent lines of evidence suggest that SUDEP occurs due to seizure induced perturbation of respiratory, cardiac, and ...
