SS-SWT and SI-CNN: An Atrial Fibrillation Detection Framework for Time-Frequency ECG Signal.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia and is associated with high morbidity and mortality from stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cerebral thrombosis. Effective and rapid detection of atrial fibrillation is critical to reducing morbidity and mortality in patients. Screening atrial fibrillation quickly and efficiently remains a challenging task. In this paper, we propose ...

Intelligent classification of platelet aggregates by agonist type.

Platelets are anucleate cells in blood whose principal function is to stop bleeding by forming aggregates for hemostatic reactions. In addition to their participation in physiological hemostasis, platelet aggregates are also involved in pathological thrombosis and play an important role in inflammation, atherosclerosis, and cancer metastasis. The aggregation of platelets is elicited by various ago...

Predicting Chronic Subdural Hematoma Recurrence and Stroke Outcomes While Withholding Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Agents.

The aging of the western population and the increased use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) and antiplatelet drugs (APD) will result in a clinical dilemm...

Serum amyloid A4 is a procoagulant apolipoprotein that it is elevated in venous thrombosis patients.

BACKGROUND: Serum amyloid A4 (SAA4) is an apolipoprotein that is in the SAA family and it is constitutively translated. Previously, acute-phase SAA1 a...

Propagation of uncertainty in the mechanical and biological response of growing tissues using multi-fidelity Gaussian process regression.

A key feature of living tissues is their capacity to remodel and grow in response to environmental cues. Within continuum mechanics, this process can ...
