Superluminal optical pulse propagation in nonlinear coherent media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The propagation of light-pulse with negative group-velocity in a nonlinear medium is studied theoretically. We show that the necessary conditions for these effects to be observable are realized in a three-level $\Lambda$-system interacting with a ...

A review of machine learning techniques in photoplethysmography for the non-invasive cuff-less measurement of blood pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Hypertension or high blood pressure is a leading cause of death throughout the world and a critical factor for increasing the risk of serious diseases, including cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart failure.

Elevated levels of urine isocitrate, hydroxymethylglutarate, and formiminoglutamate are associated with arterial stiffness in Korean adults

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Recent evidence suggests that cellular perturbations play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, we analyzed the association between the levels of urinary metabolites and arterial stiffness. Our cross-sectional study

Possibilities of using the ultrasonic wave transmission method to estimate initial setting time of cement paste [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper, the applicability of the ultrasonic wave transmission method to estimate the initial setting time of an arbitrary cement paste is discussed. Ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements were fully automated and measured continuously.

Comparison of arterial stiffness indices measured by pulse wave velocity and pulse wave analysis

open access: yesBlood Pressure, 2019
Objective: Arterial stiffness indices measured by pulse wave velocity and pulse wave analysis have been widely studied in different populations. Only a few small studies have been reported regarding these two measurement methods.

Association between increased arterial stiffness and clinical outcomes in patients with early sepsis: a prospective observational cohort study

open access: yesIntensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2019
Background Conduit arteries, especially the aorta, play a major role in ensuring efficient cardiac function and optimal microvascular flow due to their viscoelastic properties.

Changes in AZGP1 Serum Levels and Correlation With Pulse Wave Velocity After Kidney Transplantation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Zinc-alpha 2-glycoprotein (AZGP1), a secreted protein with ubiquitous tissue expression, has been controversially linked to the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Difficulties in the measurement of pulse-wave velocity [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Heart Journal, 1958
The methods employed in the measuring of pulse-wave velocity are subject to gross error because of alinearity and frequency distortion resulting from low-resonance frequencies of instrumentation and arterial segment and extraneous tissue interference.

Validity and reproducibility of arterial pulse wave velocity measurement using new device with oscillometric technique: A pilot study

open access: yesBioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2005
Background Availability of a range of techniques and devices allow measurement of many variables related to the stiffness of large or medium sized arteries. There is good evidence that, pulse wave velocity is a relatively simple measurement and is a good
