A database of simultaneously recorded ECG signals with and without EMG noise

A database of simultaneously recorded ECG signals with and without EMG noise 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Goal: Noise on recorded electrocardiographic (ECG) signals may affect their clinical interpretation. Electromyographic (EMG) noise spectrally coincides with the QRS complex, which makes its removal particularly challenging. The problem of… read more

Artificial Intelligence for Detecting COVID-19 with the Aid of Human Cough, Breathing and Speech Signals: Scoping Review

Author(s)3: Mouzzam Husain, Andrew Simpkin, Claire Gibbons, Tanya Talkar, Daniel M. Low, Paolo Bonato, Satrajit Ghosh, Thomas Quatieri, Derek O'Keeffe
Artificial Intelligence for Detecting COVID-19 with the Aid of Human Cough, Breathing and Speech Signals: Scoping Review 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Background: Official tests for COVID-19 are time consuming, costly, can produce high false negatives, use up vital chemicals and may violate social distancing laws. Therefore, a fast and reliable additional solution using recordings of cough, breathing and speech data for preliminary screening may help alleviate these issues. read more

Heart-Lung Interactions During Mechanical Ventilation: Analysis via a Cardiopulmonary Simulation Model

Heart-Lung Interactions During Mechanical Ventilation: Analysis via a Cardiopulmonary Simulation Model 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Heart-lung interaction mechanisms are generally not well understood. Mechanical ventilation, for example, accentuates such interactions and could compromise cardiac activity. Thereby, assessment of ventilation-induced changes in cardiac function is considered…
