Automatic Non-Invasive Isolation of Respiratory Cycles [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm designed to isolate individual respiratory cycles on a thoracic respiratory inductance plethysmography signal. The algorithm locates breaths using signal processing and statistical methods and enables the analysis of sleep data on an individual breath level.

Knockdown of PHOX2B in the retrotrapezoid nucleus reduces the central CO2 chemoreflex in rats
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for the development of different classes of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous system. Heterozygous mutations in the PHOX2B coding region are responsible for the occurrence of Congenital Central ...

Eosinophils Are Important for Protection, Immunoregulation and Pathology during Infection with Nematode Microfilariae [PDF]
Eosinophil responses typify both allergic and parasitic helminth disease. In helminthic disease, the role of eosinophils can be both protective in immune responses and destructive in pathological responses. To investigate whether eosinophils are involved

Heart rate estimation in intense exercise videos [PDF]
Estimating heart rate from video allows non-contact health monitoring with applications in patient care, human interaction, and sports. Existing work can robustly measure heart rate under some degree of motion by face tracking. However, this is not always possible in unconstrained settings, as the face might be occluded or even outside the camera. Here,

Mathematical Modeling of Arterial Blood Pressure Using Photo-Plethysmography Signal in Breath-hold Maneuver [PDF]
Recent research has shown that each apnea episode results in a significant rise in the beat-to-beat blood pressure and by a drop to the pre-episode levels when patient resumes normal breathing. While the physiological implications of these repetitive and significant oscillations are still unknown, it is of interest to quantify them. Since current array

Arteriovenous Oscillometric Plethysmography for Fistula Functional Testing
Introduction: The aim of the presented prospective observational study was to evaluate the effect of fistula flow on peripheral wave morphology and pulse wave velocity by means of the oscillometric Vicorder®-device with the purpose of fistula ...
