HOMEOSTASIS, the control of an internal environment to maintain stable, relatively constant conditions, is a key concept in physiology (1). In endothermic species, including humans (Homo sapiens), the control of body temperature is fundamental to the control of a suitable internal environment. To help regulate core body temperature, the body has a number of different responses. For example, und...

The 'watch dog' role of the media, the impact of migration processes, health care access for children in developing countries, mitigation of the effects of Global Warming are typical examples of governance issues – issues to be tackled at the base; issues to be solved by creating and implementing effective policy. students to pave the road for innovative policy developments in Europe and the wo...

The ongoing outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been associated with worse outcomes in several populations, including those co-morbidities. Pregnant women are one such group individuals that may be at increased risk related to physiologic changes metabolic and maternal immune system normal pregnancy.

variability of tidal volume and respiratory rate in normally breathing man has long been demonstrated [1]. however because of lack of knowledge and technology primary ventilators could only deliver a fixed tidal volume in a fixed rate the so called volume controlled ventilation (vcv). vcv was volume preset time triggered and cycled and there was no synchronization with patient’s breaths. at tha...
