PURPOSE: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition with high mortality rates and expensive treatment costs. To improve short- and long-term outcomes, it is critical to detect at-risk sepsis patients at an early stage.
OBJECTIVE: Sleep quality helps to reflect on the physical and mental condition, and efficient sleep stage scoring promises considerable advantages to health care. The aim of this study is to propose a simple and efficient sleep classification method ...

This paper presents a unified approach based on the recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) and approximate entropy (ApEn) for the classification of heart rate variability (HRV). In this paper, the optimum tolerance threshold (r) corresponding to Ap...
OBJECTIVE: To determine the suitability of alfaxalone total intravenous (IV) anaesthesia in horses and concurrently evaluate infusion rates, cardiovascular effects, pharmacokinetics and the quality of the anaesthetic recovery period.
OBJECTIVE: Electrocardiography is the most common tool to diagnose cardiovascular diseases. Annotation, segmentation and rhythm classification of ECGs are challenging tasks, especially in the presence of atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias. Our...
BACKGROUND: Automatic sleep stage classification is essential for long-term sleep monitoring. Wearable devices show more advantages than polysomnography for home use. In this paper, we propose a novel method for sleep staging using heart rate and wri...
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is gaining increased attention as a biometric method in a wide range of applications, such as access control and security/privacy requirements. The majority of reported investigations using the ECG biometric method are usually...
