This perspective explores the transformative potential of data-driven insights to understand and address women's reproductive health conditions. Historically, clinical studies often excluded women, hindering comprehensive research into conditions such as adverse pregnancy outcomes and endometriosis. Recent advances in technology (e.

Unlabelled: Mechanical stimulation has been shown to reduce apnea of prematurity (AOP), a major concern in preterm infants. Previous work suggested that the underlying mechanism is stochastic resonance, amplification of a subthreshold signal by stochastic stimulation. We hypothesized that the mechanism behind the reduction of apnea length may not be a solely stochastic phenomenon, and suggest that a purely deterministic, non-random mechanical stimulation could be equally as effective.

Introduction: A small clinical trial showed HAT therapy improved survival but no studies have been reported in animal models to examine potential mechanisms.

Methods: Sepsis was induced in female mice using the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model. Physiologic parameters including heart rate (HR), pulse distension (PD), and respiratory rate (RR) were measured noninvasively at baseline, 6 and 24 h post CLP.
