Molecular Mechanisms of Kidney Injury and Repair in Arterial Hypertension [PDF]

, 2019
The global burden of chronic kidney disease is rising. The etiologies, heterogeneous, and arterial hypertension, are key factors contributing to the development and progression of chronic kidney disease. Arterial hypertension is induced and maintained by

Application of Deep Interpolation Network for Clustering of Physiologic Time Series [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Background: During the early stages of hospital admission, clinicians must use limited information to make diagnostic and treatment decisions as patient acuity evolves. However, it is common that the time series vital sign information from patients to be both sparse and irregularly collected, which poses a significant challenge for machine / deep ...

Inorganic Dielectric Materials Coupling Micro‐/Nanoarchitectures for State‐of‐the‐Art Biomechanical‐to‐Electrical Energy Conversion Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomechanical‐to‐electrical energy conversion devices are uniquely suited for self‐driven physiological information monitoring and powering human–computer interaction systems. These devices based on micro‐/nanoarchitectured inorganic dielectric materials (MNIDMs) have shown ultrahigh electromechanical performance and thus great potential for practical ...

Renal Denervation Prevents Immune Cell Activation and Renal Inflammation in Angiotensin II-Induced Hypertension.

Circulation Research, 2015
RATIONALE Inflammation and adaptive immunity play a crucial role in the development of hypertension. Angiotensin II and probably other hypertensive stimuli activate the central nervous system and promote T-cell activation and end-organ damage in ...

MEDIMP: 3D Medical Images with clinical Prompts from limited tabular data for renal transplantation [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Renal transplantation emerges as the most effective solution for end-stage renal disease. Occurring from complex causes, a substantial risk of transplant chronic dysfunction persists and may lead to graft loss. Medical imaging plays a substantial role in renal transplant monitoring in clinical practice. However, graft supervision is multi-disciplinary,

Polymer Nanogels with Albumin Reporting Interface Created Using RAFT Precipitation Polymerization for Disease Diagnosis and Food Testing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Herein, polymer nanogels with a reporting interface for albumin are synthesized through reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) precipitation polymerization of di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate and N,N’‐methylenebis(acrylamide) using a poly(2‐methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) macro‐RAFT agent, followed by dansyl ...

PPG Signals for Hypertension Diagnosis: A Novel Method using Deep Learning Models [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Hypertension is a medical condition characterized by high blood pressure, and classifying it into its various stages is crucial to managing the disease. In this project, a novel method is proposed for classifying stages of hypertension using Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals and deep learning models, namely AvgPool_VGG-16.
