Sensors, Vol. 22, Pages 9241: Validation of Wearable Device Consisting of a Smart Shirt with Built-In Bioelectrodes and a Wireless Transmitter for Heart Rate Monitoring in Light to Moderate Physical Work
In this study, we conducted an experiment to verify the accuracy of our developed and commercially available wearable heart rate monitor consisting of a smart shirt with bioelectrodes and a transmitter, assuming a real-world work environment with physical loads. An exercise protocol was designed to light to moderate intensity according to international standards because no standard exercise protocol for the validation simulating these works has been reported. This protocol includes worker-specific movements such as applying external vibration and lifting and lowering loads. In the experiment, we simultaneously measured the...

Potential association of eEF1A dimethylation at lysine 55 in the basal area of Helicobacter pylori-eradicated gastric mucosa with the risk of gastric cancer: a retrospective observational study
Although eradication therapy for chronic Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) reduces the risk of gastric cancer (GC), its effectiveness is not complete. Therefore, it is also critically important to identifying those... (Source: BMC Gastroenterology)

Rapid decline of kidney function in diabetic patients in Lom é (Togo)
CONCLUSION: this study showed a high hospital frequency of the rapid decline in renal function in Togo (35%). Our results have identified the very high cardiovascular risk and glomerular filtration rate as risk factors. The originality of our study was the demonstration of the high proportion of very high cardiovascular risk (82.5%) and very high renal risk (25%) in the evaluation of renal and cardiovascular risk.PMID:36435739 | DOI:10.1016/j.nephro.2022.03.007 (Source: Nephrologie and Therapeutique)

Sensors, Vol. 22, Pages 8932: Distress Detection in Subway Tunnel Images via Data Augmentation Based on Selective Image Cropping and Patching
ki Haseyama
Distresses, such as cracks, directly reflect the structural integrity of subway tunnels. Therefore, the detection of subway tunnel distress is an essential task in tunnel structure maintenance. This paper presents the performance improvement of deep learning-based distress detection to support the maintenance of subway tunnels through a new data augmentation method, selective image cropping and patching (SICAP). Specifically, we generate effective data for training the distress detection model by focusing on the distressed regions via SICAP. After the data augmentation, we train a distress detection model u...
