As the title may suggest the use of ANS monitoring may not lead to accurate clinical diagnosis and treatment for many ailments. What is missing from this title is the fact that without measuring the Parasympathetic nervous system in total and independently, a correct diagnosis would not be provided. This problem exists in the industry […]

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND To describe early effects of sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) activities measured by heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate variabilities simultaneously with noninvasive hemodynamic patterns in patients with blunt and penetrating trauma. METHODS Descriptive study of 168 monitored trauma patients in a level I university-run trauma service. We studied HR and
Abstract Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major health concern, affecting nearly half the middle-age population and responsible for nearly one-third of all deaths. Clinicians have several major responsibilities beyond diagnosing CHD, such as risk stratification of patients for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and treating risks, as well as the patient. This second

Abstract Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major health concern, affecting nearly half the middle-age population and responsible for nearly one-third of all deaths. Clinicians have responsibilities beyond diagnosing CHD, including risk stratification of patients for major adverse cardiac events (MACE), modifying the risks and treating the patient. In this first of a two-part

Oxidative stress is a process whereby, Free Radicals that are produced by the body, cause injury to the tissues themselves; especially one of the most important organelles in the cell. The organelle that produces energy: The Mitochondria. Oxidation is the process of burning, think of fire, or rusting, think of iron. While oxygen is very

PART 1: Introduction and History of Autonomic Nervous System Monitoring CHAPTER 1: Introduction to Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Monitoring This introductory section starts with a review of the “Old School” information commonly taught in medical school, including the anatomy of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and its two branches, the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems; the
