Regular periods of abdominal contractions recorded from larvae of the bumblebee, Bombus terrestris (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Using an opto-cardiograph combined with an infrared gas analyzer regular bouts of abdominal contractions were recorded from last instar larva of Bombus terrestris. The rate of CO2 release was about 0.7 ml g-1 h-1.

Vascular endothelial ageing, heartbeat after heartbeat [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2009
The vascular endothelium starts to age at the first heartbeat. There is no longer a need to demonstrate that an increased resting heart rate--above 70 b.p.m.--is associated with the onset of cardiovascular events and reduces lifespan in humans. Each cardiac cycle imposes a mechanical constraint on the arteries, and we would like to propose that this ...

A novel conceptual model of heart rate autonomic modulation based on a small-world modular structure of the sinoatrial node

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
The present view on heartbeat initiation is that a primary pacemaker cell or a group of cells in the sinoatrial node (SAN) center paces the rest of the SAN and the atria. However, recent high-resolution imaging studies show a more complex paradigm of SAN

Electrically driven heartbeat effect of gallium-based liquid metal on a ratchet

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
The realization of the liquid metal heartbeat effect shows better controllability under non-periodic stimuli than spontaneous oscillation or periodic stimuli.

The Pseudosynchronization of Binary Stars Undergoing Strong Tidal Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Eccentric binaries known as heartbeat stars experience strong dynamical tides as the stars pass through periastron, providing a laboratory to study tidal interactions. We measure the rotation periods of 24 heartbeat systems, using the Kepler light curves

Peak Detection Algorithm for Vital Sign Detection Using Doppler Radar Sensors

open access: yesSensors, 2019
An accurate method for detecting vital signs obtained from a Doppler radar sensor is proposed. A Doppler radar sensor can remotely obtain vital signs such as heartbeat and respiration rate, but the vital signs obtained by using the sensor do not show ...

Spectrogram-Based Non-Contact RRI Estimation by Accurate Peak Detection Algorithm

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Demands for vital sign monitoring are increasing in the field of health care. In particular, the R-R Interval (RRI) estimation has been studied extensively, since the RRI variation is highly related with the stress of a subject.

Unconstrained measurement of lying posture, respiration and heartbeat using a tactile sensor on a bed

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
Sleep monitoring provides useful information for keeping a good health condition and detecting diseases. The monitoring system should not interfere with natural sleep, and be an existence that is almost unnoticed by the person being measured, to be used ...

Precision medicine and artificial intelligence : a pilot study on deep learning for hypoglycemic events detection based on ECG [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Tracking the fluctuations in blood glucose levels is important for healthy subjects and crucial diabetic patients. Tight glucose monitoring reduces the risk of hypoglycemia, which can result in a series of complications, especially in diabetic patients ...
