Rank Constrained Diffeomorphic Density Motion Estimation for Respiratory Correlated Computed Tomography [PDF]
Motion estimation of organs in a sequence of images is important in numerous medical imaging applications. The focus of this paper is the analysis of 4D Respiratory Correlated Computed Tomography (RCCT) Imaging. It is hypothesized that the quasi-periodic breathing induced motion of organs in the thorax can be represented by deformations spanning a very

Interfield dysbalances in research input and output benchmarking: Visualisation by density equalizing procedures [PDF]
Background Historical, social and economic reasons can lead to major differences in the allocation of health system resources and research funding. These differences might endanger the progress in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of socio-economic ...

Estimating Respiratory Rate From Breath Audio Obtained Through Wearable Microphones [PDF]
Respiratory rate (RR) is a clinical metric used to assess overall health and physical fitness. An individual's RR can change from their baseline due to chronic illness symptoms (e.g., asthma, congestive heart failure), acute illness (e.g., breathlessness due to infection), and over the course of the day due to physical exhaustion during heightened ...

Analysis of the Characteristics of Patients Presenting with Exacerbation of Asthma to Emergency Care Units [PDF]
Background:Fatal asthma remains a serious problem, and patient self-management of asthma is important to prevent exacerbation. To reduce the asthma mortality rate, we analyzed the characteristics of patients who visited an emergency care unit with ...

Novel translational approaches to the search for precision therapies for acute respiratory distress syndrome. [PDF]
In the 50 years since acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was first described, substantial progress has been made in identifying the risk factors for and the pathogenic contributors to the syndrome and in characterising the protein expression ...

The (human) respiratory rate at rest [PDF]
All schoolchildren know how often they breathe, but even experts don't know exactly why. The aim of this publication is to develop a model of the resting spontaneous breathing rate using physiological, physical and mathematical methods with the aid of the principle that evolution pushes physiology in a direction that is as economical as possible.

Phenotypes and personalized medicine in the acute respiratory distress syndrome
Although the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is well defined by the development of acute hypoxemia, bilateral infiltrates and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, ARDS is heterogeneous in terms of clinical risk factors, physiology of lung injury ...

A Semi-Markov Chain Approach to Modeling Respiratory Patterns Prior to Extubation in Preterm Infants [PDF]
After birth, extremely preterm infants often require specialized respiratory management in the form of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Protracted IMV is associated with detrimental outcomes and morbidities. Premature extubation, on the other hand, would necessitate reintubation which is risky, technically challenging and could further lead to ...
