The increasing number of breast cancer survivors and their longevity has emphasized the importance of esthetic and functional outcomes of cancer surgery and increased pressure for the surgical treatment to achieve negative ...

Optical heart rate monitoring (OHR) with reflective wrist photoplethysmography is a technique mainly used in the wellness application domain for monitoring heart rate levels during exercise. In the absence of motion, OHR ...

Wrist photoplethysmography (PPG) allows unobtrusive monitoring of the heart rate (HR). PPG is affected by the capillary blood perfusion and the pumping function of the heart, which generally deteriorate with age and due ...

To evaluate the accuracy of heart rate variability (HRV) parameters obtained with a wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) monitor in patients recovering from minimally invasive colon resection to investigate whether PPG ...

Introduction: Ascending aortic dilatation is a well-known risk factor for aortic rupture. Indications for aortic replacement in its dilatation concomitant to other open-heart surgery exist; however, cut-off values based ...

Background and objectives: Dynamic thermal imaging in medicine has several advantages in comparison to static thermal image analysis and has potential as a novel patient assessment method e.g. in the area of vascular ...

Objectives: Current chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) diagnostics require expensive equipment, using ionizing radiation or contrast agents, or summative surrogate methods lacking in spatial information. Our aim is ...

Background: Progression of prostate cancer from benign local tumors to metastatic carcinomas is a multistep process. Here we have investigated the signaling pathways that support migration and invasion of prostate cancer ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be detected by analysis of the rhythm of heartbeats. The development of photoplethysmography (PPG) technology has enabled comfortable and unobtrusive physiological monitoring of heart rate with ...

Humans rapidly extract diverse and complex information from ongoing social interactions, but the perceptual and neural organization of the different aspects of social perception remains unresolved. We showed short movie ...
