Association of Gut Microbial Dysbiosis and Hypertension: A Systematic Review.

Hypertension (HTN) is one of the most prevalent and dangerous cardiovascular diseases worldwide. Recently, its direct or indirect association with gut dysbiosis has been an interest of study for many. It also includes the metabolomic and functional gene changes in hypertensives compared with healthy individuals.

The Comparison of Therapeutic With Prophylactic Anticoagulation on Mortality, Risk of Bleeding, and Thromboembolism in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19: A Systematic Review.

Thromboembolism is one of the most severe manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Thrombotic complications have been reported even with the administration of thromboprophylaxis. This has led many experts to have variable opinions on the most effective prophylactic strategy and to anticipate the discovery of the ideal dosing of anticoagulation to reduce thromboembolic events and related mortality.

Surgical Extraction of Traumatic Lodgment of a Pen Nib Between the Eye and Nasal Bridge of an Infant: A Case Report.

Unintentional eye injuries are common in small children. If left unobserved by parents or caretakers, it is challenging to assess as the kids are in distress and pain. Penetrating trauma in or near the eye requires urgent treatment as it can lead to infection and other complications.

Doxycycline Therapy for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Inhibitory Effect on Matrix Metalloproteinases.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition associated with smoking, aging, atherosclerosis, and destruction of the connective tissue in the abdominal aortic wall. Disturbances in the synthesis and degradation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) have been known to contribute to the development of AAAs. The only available treatment of AAA is surgical repair.

Control strategy with multivariable fault tolerance module for automatic intravenous anesthesia.

In the anesthesia automation, an automatic propofol infusion system uses Bi-spectral Index Signal (BIS) as a primary feedback signal to manipulate propofol dose. However, the BIS signal may be suspended for some time due to poor EEG signal quality, noise, and many other factors. Therefore, BIS signal failure may be the main cause of inadequate propofol infusion.

Adaptive smith predictor controller for total intravenous anesthesia automation.

Anesthetic agent propofol needs to be administered at an appropriate rate to prevent hypotension and postoperative adverse reactions. To comprehend more suitable anesthetic drug rate during surgery is a crucial aspect. The main objective of this proposal is to design robust automated control system that work efficiently in most of the patients with smooth BIS and minimum variations of propofol during surgery to avoid adverse post reactions and instability of anesthetic parameters.
