Targeting the AKT/mTOR pathway attenuates the metastatic potential of colorectal carcinoma circulating tumor cells in a murine xenotransplantation model

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dual targeting of AKT and mTOR using MK2206 and RAD001 reduces tumor burden in an intracardiac colon cancer circulating tumor cell xenotransplantation model. Analysis of AKT isoform‐specific knockdowns in CTC‐MCC‐41 reveals differentially regulated proteins and phospho‐proteins by liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. Circulating tumor cells

An Outcome Analysis of Mechanically Ventilated Middle Aged and Elderly Taiwanese Patients Undergoing Tracheostomy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gerontology, 2013
Background: The primary goal in critically ill patients who are mechanically ventilated is to wean from the ventilator. Higher weaning rates have been noted in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation following tracheostomy.

Respiratory drive, inspiratory effort, and work of breathing: review of definitions and non-invasive monitoring tools for intensive care ventilators during pandemic times

open access: yesMedwave, 2022
Technological advances in mechanical ventilation have been essential to increasing the survival rate in intensive care units. Usually, patients needing mechanical ventilation use controlled ventilation to override the patient’s respiratory muscles and ...

Machine Learning for Mechanical Ventilation Control (Extended Abstract) [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Mechanical ventilation is one of the most widely used therapies in the ICU. However, despite broad application from anaesthesia to COVID-related life support, many injurious challenges remain. We frame these as a control problem: ventilators must let air in and out of the patient's lungs according to a prescribed trajectory of airway pressure. Industry-

Soman induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis of cerebral organoids via the GRP78‐ATF6‐CHOP signaling pathway

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cerebral organoids were employed as a novel model to explore the neurotoxicity of soman. Soman inhibited acetylcholinesterase activity, increased cell apoptosis and upregulated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers glucose‐regulated protein 78 (GRP78), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP).

Towards Safe Mechanical Ventilation Treatment Using Deep Offline Reinforcement Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Mechanical ventilation is a key form of life support for patients with pulmonary impairment. Healthcare workers are required to continuously adjust ventilator settings for each patient, a challenging and time consuming task. Hence, it would be beneficial to develop an automated decision support tool to optimize ventilation treatment.

Design and performance testing of a novel emergency ventilator for in-hospital use

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Respiratory Therapy, 2020
Background The rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased use of critical care resources, particularly mechanical ventilators. Amidst growing concerns that the health care system could face a shortage of ventilators in the future, there is ...

A damaged-informed lung model for ventilator waveforms [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by the acute development of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) resulting in increased vascular permeability and decreased alveolar gas exchange. Mechanical ventilation is a potentially lifesaving intervention to improve oxygen exchange but has the potential to cause ventilator-induced lung ...

Mechanics and Control of Ventilation

open access: yesSurgery (Oxford), 2003
The lungs are responsible for oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide from the body. They are also responsible for a very substantial burden of disease in the UK and worldwide population, and for the cancellation or complication of many surgical procedures.

If it does not help, it might hurt: Pharmacodynamics of a second IVIg course in Guillain–Barré syndrome

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is an effective treatment for Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), but recovery varies between patients. This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a single and a second IVIg dose (SID) in patients with GBS.
