Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCardiovascular Diseases Identification Using Wavelet Optimization and Modify Cuckoo Search AlgorithmBanit Negi, Abhilekh Bartwal, Agya Ram Verma et al.The problem the author aims to solve is the extraction of discriminatory features in ECG (Electrocardiogram) signals for classification purposes. The scope of the work is to propose a new method for building wavelets that best reflect the discriminatory capacity of ECG signals. The approach involves optimizing the wavelets specifically for the classification function under consideration. To address the problem, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 8 · 3 Aug 2023 · 5,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Resolution of Climate Change Monitoring Volcanic Cycles, Stromboli, Ocean Floor Biota and Pandemics (?)Giovanni Pietro Gregori, Gabriele PaparoClimate change is an ongoing, poorly understood and disquieting challenge. The primary drivers are debated. Clear evidence is however suggestive of a time variation of the planetary release of endogenous energy. In fact, soil exhalation is an unprecedented challenge for humankind, as a phenomenon of this kind happens only every 27.40.05 Ma, while human history spans only the last 30,0000 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 7 Sep 2021 · 6,252 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractThe Diagnostic and Etiologic Challenge of Myocarditis in Oncologic Patients: Acute Myocarditis During Induction Treatment with All-Trans Retinoic AcidNúria Coma, Sergio Moral, Rosa Coll et al.Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium characterized by myocardial infiltration with inflammatory cells and non-ischemic myocytic necrosis. Its diagnosis is based on clinical, electrocardiogram, laboratory and echocardiographic parameters and also cardiac magnetic resonance or endomyocardial biopsy when possible. It occurs primarily as a result of infections that include viruses, parasites, bacteria and fungi. Moreover, there are other causes … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 7 Jun 2021 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECG Energy Change Study Based on Variational Mode DecompositionKai Dong, Lin Sun, Hongjun Xiong, Wenbo WangVariational Mode Decomposition (VMD) decomposes the signal into a series of Intrinsic Mode Type Functions (IMTFs) according with variational model and fluctuating characteristics of the signal itself, thus very suitable for the analysis of nonlinear and non-stationary Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Energy of ECG signal has certain distribution rules, but which could be affected by diseases; therefore, the study of ECG … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2020 · 7,397 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy System to Authenticate Assisted Living Patients in Their Home EnvironmentMohanavalli Seetha Subramanian, Sheila AnandPatient identity verification is a critical requirement for a remote patient monitoring environment. The health of the patient is monitored and crucial medical decisions are taken based on the physiological data collected from the patient using sensors and sent to distant health care centers or hospitals for real-time monitoring. Therefore it is of utmost importance to associate the received data … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 18 May 2013 · 6,721 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Evaluation of Adaptive Filter and Neuro-Fuzzy Filter in Artifacts Removal From Electroencephalogram SignalPaulchamy Balaiah, IlavennilaProblem statement: This study presents an effective method for removing mixed artifacts (EOG-Electro-ocular gram, ECG-Electrocardiogram, EMG-Electromyogram) from the EEG-Electroencephalogram records. The noise sources increases the difficulty in analyzing the EEG and obtaining clinical information. EEG signals are multidimensional, non-stationary (i.e., statistical properties are not invariant in time), time domain biological signals, which are not reproducible. It is supposed to contain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 15 Aug 2012 · 7,087 accessesView PDFCite
