TL;DR: Ultrasound performed at the bedside can detect lung water and intravascular overload and their reduction after dialysis in yet asymptomatic patients, adding further evidence regarding the use of lung ultrasound and inferior vena cava measurement in estimating volume overload and monitoring the response to therapy both in hemodialysis and congestive heart failure patients.

TL;DR: One night of sleep deprivation seems to affect cardiovascular autonomic response and immune modulation, independently by the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed spectral analysis of R-R and systolic arterial pressure variability in 15 chronic neurologically complete quadriplegic patients (QP) and in 15 control subjects during resting conditions, controlled respiration, and head-up tilt.

TL;DR: The sensitivity of LUS in the detection of ILD supports its use as a screening test for ILD in RA patients, even in the ambulatory setting with a PS-USD, and the strong correlation between echographic and HRCT scores indicates LUS is a valid tool for grading and follow-up of I LD.

TL;DR: B-lines at discharge are a prognostic marker for hospital readmission and death at 100days in HF patients, in combination or not with NT-proBNP.
