Nocturnal hesitancy is a bothersome symptom we cannot ignore

PEEP and Mechanical Ventilation: We Are Warned, We Cannot Ignore.

of the Ventumask and EasyVent, Ventukit, and EveCoulisse are very similar, respectively, whereas the Boussignac is the least expensive. However, based on the results of our study, the Boussignac device appears to perform more as a reservoir mask than as a CPAP device because of the low variable end-expiratory pressure, low airflow outputs, and high unadjustable FIO2. We concur with Drs Salturk ...

Force is a signal that cells cannot ignore

Cells sense biochemical, electrical, and mechanical cues in their environment that affect their differentiation and behavior. Unlike biochemical and electrical signals, mechanical signals can propagate without the diffusion of proteins or ions; instead, forces are transmitted through mechanically stiff structures, flowing, for example, through cytoskeletal elements such as microtubules or filam...

Why epidemiologists cannot afford to ignore poverty.

Epidemiologists cannot afford to ignore poverty. To do so would, first, wrongly obscure the devastating impact of poverty on population health, and, second, undercut our commitment to scientific rigor. At issue is doing correct science, not "politically correct" science. Blot poverty and inequity from view, and not only will we contribute to making suffering invisible but our understanding of d...
