DOI: 10.1111/ene.13737
Abstract: Cerebrovascular responses to head‐of‐bed positioning in patients with acute ischaemic stroke are heterogeneous, questioning the applicability of general recommendations on head positioning. Cerebral autoregulation is impaired to various extents after acute stroke, although it is… read more here.

Head of bed elevation to relieve gastroesophageal reflux symptoms: a systematic review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "BMC Family Practice"
DOI: 10.1186/s12875-021-01369-0
Abstract: Background Overuse of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) – frequently used for relieving symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) – raises long-term safety concerns, warranting evidence-based non-drug interventions. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the… read more here.
