Closed-loop ventilation: an emerging standard of care?

Published: April 2007

The rational for using closed loop ventilation is becoming strong and stronger. Studies are now available supporting the hypothesis that patient outcome is improved by using closed loop ventilation. In the highly sophisticated ICU world driven by the triumvirate of cost-efficiency, quality, and safety, closed loop ventilation will become definitely unavoidable. The challenge is how to make that change effortless, "friendly" and as fast as possible. Introducing novel graphical user interfaces and providing data displays that are pertinent, integrative and dynamic will reduce cognitive resources of the clinician and have the potential to make ventilation safer. They may be the key to adopt closed loop ventilation in everyday practice.

While internal hernias are rare in the paediatric population, it should be considered as a cause for an acute abdomen following blunt trauma. Internal hernias represent a surgical emergency that requires prompt recognition due to the high risk of strangulation and ischaemia of affected bowel loops. The case of a transomental hernia (TOH) is described in a young girl.

This paper proposes a hierarchical framework-based solution to address the challenges of vehicle state estimation and lateral stability control in four-wheel independent drive electric vehicles. First, based on a three-degrees-of-freedom four-wheel vehicle model combined with the Magic Formula Tire model (MF-T), a hierarchical estimation method is designed. The upper layer employs the Kalman Filter (KF) and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate the vertical load of the wheels, while the lower layer utilizes EKF in conjunction with the upper-layer results to further estimate the lateral forces, longitudinal velocity, and lateral velocity, achieving accurate vehicle state estimation.

Decreasing the position error and control torque is important for the coordinate control of a modular unmanned system with less communication burden between the sensor and the actuator. Therefore, this paper proposes event-trigger reinforcement learning (ETRL)-based coordinate control of a modular unmanned system (MUS) via the nonzero-sum game (NZSG) strategy. The dynamic model of the MUS is established via joint torque feedback (JTF) technology.

Circular RNA Formation and Degradation Are Not Directed by Universal Pathways.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of unique transcripts characterized by a covalently closed loop structure, which differentiates them from conventional linear RNAs. The formation of circRNAs occurs co-transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally through a distinct type of splicing known as back-splicing, which involves the formation of a head-to-tail splice junction between a 5' splice donor and an upstream 3' splice acceptor. This process, along with exon skipping, intron retention, cryptic splice site utilization, and lariat-driven intron processing, results in the generation of three main types of circRNAs (exonic, intronic, and exonic-intronic) and their isoforms.
