    Abstract Endotoxin administration is commonly used to study the inflammatory response, and though traditionally given as a bolus injection, it can be administered as a continuous infusion over multiple hours. Several studies hypothesize that the latter better represents the prolonged and pronounced inflammation observed in conditions like sepsis. Yet very few experimental studies have administered endotoxin using both strategies, leaving significant gaps in determining the underlying mechanisms responsible for their differing immune responses. We used mathematical modelling to analyse cytokine data from two studies administering a 2 ng kg

    Abstract The mean flow index-usually referred to as Mx-has been used for assessing dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) for almost 30 years. However, concerns have arisen regarding methodological consistency, construct and criterion validity, and test-retest reliability. Methodological nuances, such as choice of input (cerebral perfusion pressure, invasive or non-invasive arterial pressure), pre-processing approach and artefact handling, significantly influence mean flow index values, and previous studies correlating mean flow index with other established dCA metrics are confounded by inherent methodological flaws like heteroscedasticity, while the mean flow index also fails to discriminate individuals with presumed intact versus impaired dCA (discriminatory validity), and its prognostic performance (predictive validity) across various conditions remains inconsistent. The test-retest reliability, both within and between days, is generally poor. At present, no single approach for data collection or pre-processing has proven superior for obtaining the mean flow index, and caution is advised in the further use of mean flow index-based measures for assessing dCA, as current evidence does not support their clinical application.

    Abstract Transfer function analysis (TFA) is a widely used method for assessing dynamic cerebral autoregulation in humans. In the present study, we assessed the test-retest reliability of established TFA metrics derived from spontaneous blood pressure oscillations and based on 5 min recordings. The TFA-based gain, phase and coherence in the low-frequency range (0.07-0.20 Hz) from 19 healthy volunteers, 37 patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and 19 patients with sepsis were included. Reliability assessments included the smallest real difference (SRD) and the coefficient of variance for comparing consecutive 5 min recordings, temporally separated 5 min recordings and consecutive recordings with a minimal length of 10 min. In healthy volunteers, temporally separating the 5 min recordings led to a 0.38 (0.01-0.79) cm s

    Abstract Purpose: Ventilation Perfusion SPECT is important in the diagnostics of e.g. pulmonary embolism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Classical and reverse mismatched defects can be identified by utilizing the ventilation-perfusion ratio. Unfortunately, this ratio is only linear in the ventilation, the scale is not symmetrical regarding classical and reversed mismatches and small perfusion values give rise to artifacts. The ventilation-perfusion (VQ) difference is developed as an alternative.
    Methods: For both VQ-ratio and VQ-difference a scaling factor for the perfusion is computed, so that voxels with matched ventilation and perfusion (on average) yield zero signal. The relative VQ-difference is calculated by scaling with the summed VQ-signal in each voxel. The scaled VQ-difference is calculated by scaling with the global maximum of this sum.
    Results: The relative and scaled differences have a scale from -1 (perfusion only) to + 1 (ventilation only). Image quality of relative VQ-difference and VQ-ratio images is hampered by artifacts from areas with both low perfusion and low ventilation. Ratio and differences have been investigated in ten patients and are shown for three patients (one without defects). Clinical thresholds for the difference images are derived resulting in color maps of relevant (reversed) mismatches with a (reciprocal) ratio larger than two.
    Conclusions: The relative ventilation-perfusion difference is a methodological improvement on the ventilation-perfusion ratio, because it has a symmetrical scale and is bound on a closed domain. A better diagnostic value is expected by utilizing the scaled difference, which represents functional difference instead of relative difference.
