Oscillation and Chaos in Physiological Control Systems
Michael C. Mackey,Leon Glass +1 more
TL;DR: First-order nonlinear differential-delay equations describing physiological control systems displaying a broad diversity of dynamical behavior including limit cycle oscillations, with a variety of wave forms, and apparently aperiodic or "chaotic" solutions are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor hypoxia: definitions and current clinical, biologic, and molecular aspects.
Michael Höckel,Peter Vaupel +1 more
TL;DR: Because malignant tumors no longer execute functions necessary for homeostasis (such as the production of adequate amounts of adenosine triphosphate), the physiology-based definitions of the term "hypoxia" are not necessarily valid for malignant tumor patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of active breathing control (ABC) to reduce margin for breathing motion
John Wong,Michael B. Sharpe,David A. Jaffray,Vijay R. Kini,John M. Robertson,Jannifer S. Stromberg,Alavro A Martinez +6 more
TL;DR: The results were encouraging; ABC provides a simple means to minimize breathing motion and reproduction of organ immobilization with ABC throughout the course of treatment must be quantified to reduce margin for conformal treatment.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms in the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients
Thomas Bjarnsholt,Peter Østrup Jensen,Mark J. Fiandaca,Jette Pedersen,C.R. Hansen,Claus B. Andersen,Tacjana Pressler,Michael Givskov,Niels Høiby +8 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the appearance and location of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the cystic fibrosis lung and in sputum finds preserved tissues of CF patients who died due to chronic P. aerugInosa lung infection and routine sputums from 77 chronically P. Aerug inosa infected CF patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory rate: the neglected vital sign.
TL;DR: There is substantial evidence that an abnormal respiratory rate is a predictor of potentially serious clinical events and hospital systems that encourage appropriate responses to an elevated respiratory rate and other abnormal vital signs can be rapidly implemented.
