Evaluation of Electrical and Optical Plethysmography Sensors for Noninvasive Monitoring of Hemoglobin Concentration

open access: yesSensors, 2012
Completely noninvasive monitoring of hemoglobin concentration has not yet been fully realized in the clinical setting. This study investigates the viability of measuring hemoglobin concentration noninvasively by evaluating the performance of two types of

Evaluation of air-displacement plethysmography in children aged 5-7 years using a three-component model of body composition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The aim of the present study was to evaluate air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) in children aged 5-7 years. Body-composition measurements were obtained by ADP, H-2 dilution and anthropometry in twenty-eight children. Calculation of body volume by ADP

Changes in Plasma Sphingolipid Metabolites Following Roux‐En‐Y Gastric Bypass in Women With Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: A Pilot Metabolomic Cohort Study

open access: yesLipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although sphingolipids are key players in lipotoxicity and metabolic diseases, their response to bariatric surgery and their relation to metabolic improvement remain unclear. This pilot study investigated plasma sphingolipid remodeling after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and its associations with clinical and biochemical markers of ...

Stridor Is an Independent Risk Factor for Mortality and Disease Progression in Patients with Multiple System Atrophy

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aim Stridor and sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) are common in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Retrospective cohort studies have yielded conflicting results regarding the consequences of stridor and SAS on the disease course. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of stridor and SAS, as well as the potential survival ...

Phonocardiography based pulse wave velocity system for non-occlusive assessment of arterial stiffness

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Arterial stiffness is strongly associated with vascular aging and pathology and can be assessed in many ways. Existing devices for measuring central arterial stiffness, such as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), are limited by high costs and the ...

Supervised Release, Sex-Offender Treatment Programs, and Substantive Due Process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This Note argues that mandated PPG testing should be eliminated as a condition of federal supervised release. The test infringes on a constitutionally protected liberty interest against unwanted bodily intrusions and, as only the Second Circuit has held,

Effects and Correction of Patient Bulk Motion in Cranial DENSE MRI

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Applications of DENSE to measure cardiac driven brain tissue pulsations are highly sensitive to bulk patient motion due to the sub‐millimeter displacement encoding required, limiting its accuracy, reproducibility, and use in pediatric and aging populations.
