A hybrid denoising approach for PPG signals utilizing variational mode decomposition and improved wavelet thresholding
CONCLUSION: This study proposes an effective PPG denoising algorithm based on VMD and an improved wavelet threshold function, capable of simultaneously eliminating low-frequency baseline drift and high-frequency noise in PPG signals while faithfully preserving their morphological characteristics. This advancement establishes the foundation for time-domain feature extraction and model development in the domain of PPG signal analysis.PMID:38517823 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231996 (Source: Technology and Health Care)

Correlations between the peripheral coronary fat attenuation index based on computed tomography images, high-risk plaque and degree of coronary artery stenosis in patients with coronary atherosclerosis
CONCLUSION: The FAI can be used to monitor the inflammation level of the coronary artery; the higher the FAI is, the higher the risk of plaque and degree of stenosis.PMID:38427512 | DOI:10.3233/THC-230676 (Source: Technology and Health Care)

Comparison of color changes, fracture strengths, and failure modes of conventional endocrowns and endocrowns with different design modifications
CONCLUSION: The recorded ΔE values of ECs in all groups were equal or marginally higher than the acceptable values. The EC with a 3 mm chamfer and ferrule displayed the highest mean maximum load. The EC with a 5 mm chamfer finish line had a marginally lower maximum load at fracture than other ECs. Failures, such as ceramic fracture, split fracture, and ceramic and tooth splitting above the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) or vertically were predominant in samples with occlusal preparation depths of 3 mm with ferrule and 5 mm.PMID:38427513 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231175 (Source: Technology and Health Care)

Enhanced CT imaging artificial neural network coronary artery calcification score assisted diagnosis
CONCLUSION: Regression risk evaluation algorithms could assist in categorizing cardiorespiratory individuals into distinct risk groups and conveniently personalize the treatments to the patient's circumstances. The models would be based on information gathered through CAC. On both 1 and 3-mm scanners, the automatic determination of a CAC value and cardiovascular events categorization that used a depth teaching approach was reliable and precise. The layer thickness of 0.5 mm on chest CT was slightly less accurate in CAC detection and risk evaluation.PMID:38427514 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231273 (Source: Technology and Health Care)

Clinical characteristics of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
CONCLUSION: The survival rate of non-M-HLH was significantly better than that of M-HLH; the proportion of NK cells had predictive value for the diagnosis of M-HLH; in the general population, non-M-HLH was more likely to have abnormal liver function than M-HLH: lower platelet count and serum albumin level were associated with poor prognosis, and the lower the platelet count and serum albumin level, the worse the prognosis: in addition, adults with lower serum albumin levels are also associated with poor prognosis.PMID:38427515 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231275 (Source: Technology and Health Care)
