Pulse transit time measured by photoplethysmography improves the accuracy of heart rate as a surrogate measure of cardiac output, stroke volume and oxygen uptake in response to graded exercise [PDF]
Heart rate (HR) is a valuable and widespread measure for physical training programs, although its description of conditioning is limited to the cardiac response to exercise.

Pulse oximetry in the oesophagus [PDF]
Pulse oximetry has been one of the most significant technological advances in clinical monitoring in the last two decades. Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive photometric technique that provides information about the arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO(2))

Video pulse rate variability analysis in stationary and motion conditions [PDF]
Background: In the last few years, some studies have measured heart rate (HR) or heart rate variability (HRV) parameters using a video camera. This technique focuses on the measurement of the small changes in skin colour caused by blood perfusion.

Artificial intelligence for adaptive neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy
Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects nearly one third of people with epilepsy and is associated with substantial cognitive, psychiatric, and mortality burdens. For patients who are not candidates for resection or laser interstitial thermal therapy, neuromodulation therapies such as vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and ...

Impact of eight weeks of repeated ischaemic preconditioning on brachial artery and cutaneous microcirculatory function in healthy males [PDF]
Background Ischaemic preconditioning has well-established cardiac and vascular protective effects. Short interventions (one week) of daily ischaemic preconditioning episodes improve conduit and microcirculatory function.
