A fruitful quantitative approach to understanding how the brain makes decisions has been
to look at the time needed to make a decision, and how it is affected by factors such as the …

Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly
infectious respiratory virus which is responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) …

Reaction times generally follow a simple law economically described by the LATER model,
in which a decision signal rises linearly in response to information about a target to a …

Purpose Hyperglycaemia is common in the critically ill. The objectives of this study were to
determine the prevalence of critical illness-associated hyperglycaemia (CIAH) and …

Commercial 0.9% saline solution for infusion has a pH around 5.5. There are many reasons
for this acidity, some of them still obscure. It is also true that infusion of normal saline can …

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) convalescents living in regions with low vaccination
rates rely on post-infection immunity for protection against re-infection with severe acute …

Objectives To describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID‐19 admitted
to intensive care units (ICUs) during the initial months of the pandemic in Australia. Design, …

The neural mechanisms underlying reaction times have previously been modelled in two
distinct ways. When stimuli are hard to detect, response time tends to follow a random‐walk …

Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an invasive procedure used
to support critically ill patients with the most severe forms of cardiac or respiratory failure in …

Objectives This review focuses on the pathophysiology of ADHF, considering how
perturbing primary determinants of CO—preload, afterload, contractility, and heart rate—impairs …
