Compact Occlusion-Robust Facial Expression Recognition via Clean-Anchored Hard Occlusion Fine-Tuning [PDF]
SensorsFacial occlusion removes expression-relevant evidence and remains a major source of error in camera-based affective sensing. Existing approaches to occlusion-robust facial expression recognition often rely on specialized attention, reconstruction ...

Blood flow responses to different set pressures using elastic “multichambered” blood flow restriction bands [PDF]
Frontiers in Sports and Active LivingIntroductionThe blood flow responses to blood flow restriction (BFR) with “multi-chambered” BFR bands are not well understood. This study investigated the blood flow responses to four set pressures in the arm and leg using B-Strong BFR bands ...

Comparison of acute effects of different resistance exercise protocols with and without blood flow restriction on selected hypertrophy-related hormones in competitive wrestlers [PDF]
Journal of Exercise & Organ Cross Talk, 2021 The study aimed to compare the acute effects of low resistance exercises with partial and complete blood flow restriction (BFR) and heavy resistance exercise on growth hormone (GH), myostatin, testosterone, and cortisol in competitive wrestlers.

Use of a handheld Doppler to measure brachial and femoral artery occlusion pressure
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Objective: Measurement of arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) is essential to the safe and effective use of blood flow restriction during exercise. Use of a Doppler ultrasound (US) is the “gold standard” method to measure AOP.
