Methods for prediction of subject-specific hemodynamic response to vasopressors
Published Sunday, June 29, 2014BackgroundVasopressors are medications that raise blood pressure in a patient, which helps increase blood flow to peripheral tissues. Vasopressors are commonly used to treat patients who have a body wide reduction in blood circulation. Currently, vasopressors are administered manually by clinicians, who typically adjust dosage iteratively...

Conservation Dependencies
Published Wednesday, October 3, 2012Many constraints and rules have been used to analyze data quality: functional, inclusion and sequential dependencies, association rules, etc. Additionally, a broad class of tools not covered by existing constraints may be identified, where a “conservation law” exists between related quantities. Conservation laws, however, are obeyed only to...
