BackgroundAcute treatment of cerebral edema and elevated intracranial pressure is a common issue in patients with neurological injury. Practical recommendations regarding selection and monitoring of therapies for initial management of cerebral edema for optimal efficacy and safety are generally lacking. This guideline evaluates the role of hyperosm...

Computer simulations (CS) and virtual reality exposure are promising techniques for research and treatment of panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA). The objective of this study was to ascertain whether a given CS was a stimulus capable of producing panic attacks (PAs), anxiety and psychophysiological changes in patients with PDA. Thirty PDA patient...

BackgroundAutoresuscitation describes the return of spontaneous circulation after termination of resuscitation (TOR) following cardiac arrest (CA). We aimed to identify phenomena that may lead to autoresuscitation and to provide guidance to reduce the likelihood of it occurring.Materials and methodsWe conducted a literature search (Google Scholar, ...

BackgroundRespiratory adverse events are not uncommon in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) following general anesthesia. In this regard, hyperventilation leading to apnea and desaturation is a rare entity. Here we have reported a case of a 15-year-old girl who, following an uneventful general anesthesia, developed severe hyperventilation leading...

Healthy ageing has been associated with lower cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFVs); however, the behaviour of hemodynamic parameters associated with cerebrovascular tone (critical closing pressure, CrCP) and cerebrovascular resistance (resistance-area product, RAP) remains unclear. Specifically, evidence supports ageing being associated with grea...

A 19-year-old patient presented with severe chest pain, which is not typical for cardiac angina. However, his smoking history and the strong family history of ischaemic heart disease coupled with evidence of progressive T-wave changes on his electrocardiogram (ECG) caused dilemma in deciding further management. His blood tests were normal apart fro...

Breathing at a frequency of around 0.1 Hz is widely used in basic research and in applied psychophysiology because it strongly increases fluctuations in the cardiovascular system and affects psychological functioning. Volitional control of breathing often leads to hyperventilation among untrained individuals, which may produce aversive symptoms and...

Chronic dyspnoea that remains unexplained after resting pulmonary function and cardiovascular testing is a common problem in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in the diagnosis of unexplained dyspnoea. This retrospective single-centre study included consecutive patients w...

BackgroundHyperventilation-induced hypocapnia (HV) reduces elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), a dangerous and potentially fatal complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI). HV decreases the arteriolar diameter of intracranial vessels, raising the risk of cerebral ischemia. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of moderate short-...
