Complex Hemodynamic Responses to Trans-Vascular Electrical Stimulation of the Renal Nerve in Anesthetized Pigs 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Complex Hemodynamic Responses to Trans-Vascular Electrical Stimulation of the Renal Nerve in Anesthetized Pigs

The objective of this study was to characterize hemodynamic changes during trans-vascular stimulation of the renal nerve and their dependence on stimulation parameters. We employed a stimulation catheter inserted in the right renal artery under fluoroscopic guidance, in pigs.

Targeted Sensitization of Glioblastoma Multiforme Using AAAPT Technology 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Targeted Sensitization of Glioblastoma Multiforme Using AAAPT Technology

Abstract:

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant type of all brain tumors. Current GBM treatment options include surgery, followed by radiation and chemotherapy. However, GBM can become resistant to therapy, resulting in tumor recurrence. GBM cells develop resistance to treatments by either downregulating cell death pathways (CD95) or upregulating cell ...

A database of simultaneously recorded ECG signals with and without EMG noise 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

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

Abstract:

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 evaluating the noise-removal techniques has commonly been approached by algorithm testing on the contaminated ECG signals constructed ad hoc as ...

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)

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

Author(s): Mouzzam Husain, Andrew Simpkin, Claire Gibbons, Tanya Talkar, Daniel M. Low, Paolo Bonato, Satrajit Ghosh, Thomas Quatieri, Derek O'Keeffe

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.
