When stretching an adhesive specimen along a longitudinal direction, it has a tendency to thin in a lateral direction. Measuring the relationship between how thin a material becomes during stretching ...

Abstract: We propose a novel discriminative feature learning method via Max-Min Ratio Analysis (MMRA) for exclusively dealing with the long-standing “worst-case class separation” problem. Existing ...

The SOFA-2 score included new definitions, new variables, and revised thresholds to categorize the severity of organ dysfunction in critical illness. The updates reflected changes in practice, ...

The pulse-oximetric peripheral oxygen saturation to a fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO 2 /FiO 2) ratio has been suggested as an additional hypoxemia criterion in the new global acute respiratory ...

The following is a summary of “Prognostic value of PaO2/FiO2 ratio in predicting clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients,” published in the June 2024 issue of Critical Care by Canto-Costal et al.

The models use maximal deflection of esophageal pressure to quantify HFOT-related breathing effort (ΔPes) and the risk for strong breathing effort (ΔPes >10 cmH2O). Two models have been developed to ...
