The role of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) indices in predicting the outcome of the weaning process remains a subject of debate. The aim of this study is to investigate HRV analysis in critically ill adult patients undergoing weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). The protocol of this systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024485800).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates long-term symptoms of COVID-19, focusing on both hospitalized and home-isolated patients to detail persistent issues related to long COVID.
- Conducting a retrospective cohort study with 364 patients, researchers found that 82% experienced at least one symptom, primarily fatigue, and notable lung issues were detected in many patients.
- The findings highlight significant long-term effects of COVID-19, stressing the need for comprehensive healthcare approaches and multidisciplinary teams to manage and improve patient outcomes.
The number of adrenal incidentaloma (AI) cases has increased in the last few years due to the widespread use of imaging diagnostics. Management requires evaluation of the malignant nature and hormonal activity. The aim of the present study is to assess possible clinical abnormalities in 132 AI patients both at baseline and during follow-up (mean 48.
