INTRODUCTION Acute lung injury (ALI) can result from various insults to the pulmonary tissue. Experimental and clinical data suggest that spontaneous breathing (SB) during pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in ALI results in better lung aeration and improved oxygenation. Our objective was to evaluate whether the addition of SB has different effects in two different models of ALI. METHODS F...

Broad research interests and related applications: My research is in the area of stochastic systems, computational methods for sensing, estimation, and control problems, with a focus on robotic systems. In real-world systems, uncertainty (both in the system model and sensory readings) is omnipresent. A few of the vast set of applications for this research include (i) Motion planning for mobile ...

BACKGROUND Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are common in various chronic respiratory diseases, but little is known about GERD in the setting of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to determine the effect of GERD symptoms on COPD exacerbations and subsequent hospitalization and drug usage. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted fro...

BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage renal disease in children. However, long-term graft survival has not significantly improved among pediatric patients. OBJECTIVE To investigate the determinants of long-term graft survival among Iranian pediatric recipients of kidney transplantation. METHODS In a single-center cohort study, we studied 314 pediatric kidn...
