Objective To compare heart rate variability ( HRV ) parameters in newly diagnosed and
untreated temporal lobe epilepsy ( TLE ) between the interictal, preictal, ictal, and postictal states. …

The aim of this paper is to compare baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) following anesthesia induction
via propofol to pre-induction baseline values through a systematic and mathematically …

Major surgeries can result in high rates of adverse postoperative events. Reliable prediction
of which patient might be at risk for such events may help guide peri- and postoperative care…

Background and Significance: Mechanical alternans (MA) is a biomarker associated with
mortality and life-threatening arrhythmias in heart failure patients. Despite showing prognostic …

The expected response to fluid infusion is an increase of cardiac output (CO), and this
response depends mostly on the current cardiac function of the patient. The importance of the …

Liver transplantation remains the only curative treatment option for a variety of end-stage
liver diseases. Prediction of major adverse events following surgery has traditionally focused …

In critical care patient management, extensive and invasive patient monitoring is routinely
performed in order to quantify patient status in view of therapeutic interventions. Little …

Mechanical alternans (MA) is a biomarker associated with mortality in heart failure patients.
Its detection through continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring is costly and impractical. In …

This paper presents the analysis of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) control and cardiac
baroreflex sensitivity in patients undergoing general anesthesia for major surgery, with the …

We investigate the Seidel–Herzel model of the human baroreflex feedback control mechanism
in terms of parameter choices and its ability to mimic heart rate physiology. We show that …
