Validation of at-the-bedside formulae for estimating ventilator driving pressure during airway pressure release ventilation using computer simulation (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is widely available on mechanical ventilators and has been proposed as an early intervention to prevent lung injury or as a rescue therapy in the management of refractory hypoxemia. Driving press... Read More about Validation of at-the-bedside formulae for estimating ventilator driving pressure during airway pressure release ventilation using computer simulation.

Inhibition of oxidative stress delays senescence and augments functional capacity of endothelial progenitor cells (2022)
Journal Article

Ageing is characterised by a progressive loss of vascular endothelial function and integrity. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an integral role in endothelial regeneration but are prone to age-dependent changes which may accelerate their sene...
