Motion robust MR fingerprinting scan to image neonates with prenatal opioid exposure [PDF]
Background: A noninvasive and sensitive imaging tool is needed to assess the fast-evolving baby brain. However, using MRI to study non-sedated babies faces roadblocks, including high scan failure rates due to subjects motion and the lack of quantitative measures for assessing potential developmental delays.

Improving mechanical ventilation for patient care through repetitive control [PDF]
Mechanical ventilators sustain life of patients that are unable to breathe (sufficiently) on their own. The aim of this paper is to improve pressure tracking performance of mechanical ventilators for a wide variety of sedated patients. This is achieved by utilizing the repetitive nature of sedated ventilation through repetitive control.

Immunoregulatory mechanisms of the arachidonic acid pathway in cancer
The central role of the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway in anticancer immunity. Enzymes and metabolites of the AA pathway can play both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory roles in the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, their tailored targeting could be beneficial as a standalone therapy or in combination with current cancer immunotherapy.
