How do stress, exercise, breathing technique affect heartbeat and blood pressure? Interesting predictive computational model of several physiological circuits. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol #computational #physiology

journals.plos.orgIn–silico simultaneous respiratory and circulatory measurement during voluntary breathing, exercise, and mental stress: A computational approachAuthor summary The impact of changes in physical or mental state on physiological parameters, such as heart rate and blood pressure, remains uncertain due to inter–individual variability and challenges in simultaneous measurements. We propose a novel computational model for predicting respiratory and circulatory responses to voluntary breathing, short–term exercise, or mental stress. We introduce specific parameters to account for involuntary or voluntary breathing and hyperventilation induced by short–term exercise. We modeled mental stress as an electrical input to the amygdala based on prior studies indicating that stress leads to amygdala hyperactivity. The model reproduced the respiratory and circulatory states during active or passive short–term exercises, voluntary breathing control, and mental stress loads. The proposed computational approach enables simultaneous and reasonable prediction of diverse physiological values, accounting for individual differences through specific parameters, during voluntary breathing, short–term exercise, or mental stress. This approach also enables substantial prediction of cognitive performance and states for mental and physical health through the physiological values and heart rate variability indices of total power spectral density and the ellipse area of Poincaré plot.

Die Erforschung der Abwärtsspirale – Dr. Jochen Michely erhält Emmy Noether-Förderung zum Aufbau einer Arbeitsgruppe für seine Depressionsforschung. Mit Methoden der Computational Psychiatry untersucht der Psychiater von der #CharitéBerlin, wie Stimmung und Kognition sich beim Menschen auf neurobiologischer Ebene gegenseitig beeinflussen. Damit will er der Ursache von Depressionen näherkommen. Mehr dazu hier: charite.de/forschung/themen_fo

journals.plos.orgReal-time forecasting of COVID-19-related hospital strain in France using a non-Markovian mechanistic modelAuthor summary The US and European Covid-19 Forecast Hubs focus on metrics such as deaths, new cases, and hospital admissions, but do not offer measurements of hospital strain like critical care bed occupancy, which was essential for the provisioning of healthcare resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, forecasting support was only guaranteed on the national level leaving many countries to look elsewhere for valuable sub-national forecasts. In France statistical modelling approaches were proposed to anticipate hospital stain at the sub-national level but these were limited by a two-week forecast horizon. We present a sub-national French modelling framework and online application for anticipating hospital strain at the four-week horizon that can account for abrupt changes in key epidemiological parameters. It was the only publicly available real-time non-Markovian mechanistic model for the French epidemic when implemented in January 2021 and, to our knowledge, it still was at the time it stopped in early 2022. Further adaptations of this surveillance system can serve as an anticipation tool for hospital strain across sub-national localities to aid in the prevention of short-noticed ward closures and patient transfers.
