Vascular Dynamics During Respiratory Arousal From Sleep Assessed by Oximeter‐Based Vascular Stiffness Measures

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cortical arousals significantly impact obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) pathophysiology and cardiovascular consequences, often mediated by sympathetic activation. While pulse oximetry (PPG) provides an accessible reflection of autonomic responses such as changes in pulse rate (PR) and pulse wave amplitude (PWA), the dynamic influence on other ...

Customized Metal 3D Printed Total Wrist Prosthesis in the Treatment of Severely Destroyed Wrist: Design Rationale and Clinical Applications

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1536-1546, May 2025.
Four patients with severe wrist destruction from various causes were treated with customized 3D‐printed prostheses. In addition to the specific articular surface matching their original radiocarpal joint, two innovative proximal component designs were created to address different bone defects.

Analyses of AphasiaBank Data

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
In the research literature on aphasia, the average number of participants is 7.5. To go beyond this narrow sampling, the AphasiaBank project has constructed a database of one-hour interactions with 285 PWAs and 180 controls.

The effects of uninterrupted and interrupted sitting on blood pressure and arterial stiffness in patients with established coronary heart disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sedentary behaviour is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In healthy adults, prolonged uninterrupted sitting acutely increases blood pressure (BP) and aortic stiffness; however, these effects can be mitigated with light physical activity interruptions.
