Fine crackles are frequently heard in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and are known as the sensitive indicator for ILDs, although the objective method for analyzing respiratory sounds including fine crackles is not clinically availabl...
BACKGROUND: Lung auscultation is fundamental to the clinical diagnosis of respiratory disease. However, auscultation is a subjective practice and interpretations vary widely between users. The digitization of auscultation acquisition and interpretati...
The paper delves into the plausibility of applying fractal, spectral, and nonlinear time series analyses for lung auscultation. The thirty-five sound signals of bronchial (BB) and pulmonary crackle (PC) analysed by fast Fourier transform and wavelet ...
BACKGROUND: Tension pneumothorax is one of the leading causes of preventable death on the battlefield. Current prehospital diagnosis relies on a subjective clinical impression complemented by a manual thoracic and respiratory examination. These techn...
Auscultation has been essential part of the physical examination; this is non-invasive, real-time, and very informative. Detection of abnormal respiratory sounds with a stethoscope is important in diagnosing respiratory diseases and providing first a...

Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases are amongst the most painful and dangerous clinical cases, due to inefficient recognition of symptoms and thus, lack of early-diagnostic tools. The analysis of bowel sounds (BS) has been fundamental for GI diseases, how...
Cardiovascular disease is known as the number one cause of death globally, with elevated blood pressure (BP) being the single largest risk factor. Hence, BP is an important physiological parameter used as an indicator of cardiovascular health. The us...

BACKGROUND: Since most developed countries are facing an increase in the number of patients per healthcare worker due to a declining birth rate and an ageing population, relatively simple and safe diagnosis tasks may need to be performed using roboti...
