Detection of sleep-disordered breathing in patients with spinal cord injury using a smartphone
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-10-29)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) have an increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which can lead to serious comorbidities and impact patients’ recovery and quality of life. However, sleep tests are rarely ...
Efficiency of mechanical activation of inspiratory muscles in COPD using sample entropy

Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
Respiratory muscle dysfunction is a common problem in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and has mostly been related to pulmonary hyperinflation [1, 2]. Associated diaphragm shortening and deleterious ...
Engineered macroscale cardiac constructs elicit human myocardial tissue-like functionality
(2019-07-09)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
In vitro surrogate models of human cardiac tissue hold great promise in disease modeling, cardiotoxicity testing, and future applications in regenerative medicine. However, the generation of engineered human cardiac ...
Assessment of trunk flexion in arm reaching tasks with electromyography and smartphone accelerometry in healthy human subjects
(Nature, 2021-03-08)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Trunk stability is essential to maintain upright posture and support functional movements. In this study, we aimed to characterize the muscle activity and movement patterns of trunk flexion during an arm reaching task in ...
Acoustic analysis of snoring sound in patients with simple snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea
(1996-11-09)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Snoring, a symptom which may indicate the presence of the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSA), is also common in the general population. Recent studies have suggested that the acoustic characteristics of snoring sound ...
Health outcomes from home hospitalization: multisource predictive modeling
(JMIR, 2020-10-07)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Background: Home hospitalization is widely accepted as a cost-effective alternative to conventional hospitalization for selected patients. A recent analysis of the home hospitalization and early discharge (HH/ED) program ...
A 36 µW 1.1 mm2 reconfigurable analog front-end for cardiovascular and respiratory signals recording
(2018-04-06)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
This paper presents a 1.2 V 36 µW reconfigurable analog front-end (R-AFE) as a general-purpose low-cost IC for multiple-mode biomedical signals acquisition. The R-AFE efficiently reuses a reconfigurable preamplifier, a ...
Analysis of time delay between bioimpedance and respiratory volume signals under inspiratory loaded breathing
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-10-07)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Bioimpedance is known for its linear relation with volume during normal breathing. For that reason, bioimpedance can be used as a noninvasive and comfortable technique for measuring respiration. The goal of this study is ...
Quantitative evaluation of trunk function and the StartReact effect during reaching in patients with cervical and thoracic spinal cord injury
(2021-08-18)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Objective. Impaired trunk stability is frequent in spinal cord injury (SCI), but there is a lack of quantitative measures for assessing trunk function. Our objectives were to: (a) evaluate trunk muscle activity and movement ...
