Project description:Extreme bradycardia (EB), extreme tachycardia (ET), ventricular tachycardia (VT), and ventricular flutter (VF) are the four types of life-threatening arrhythmias, which are symptoms of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, in this study, a method of life-threatening arrhythmia recognition is proposed based on pulse rate variability (PRV). First, noise and interference are wiped out from the arterial blood pressure (ABP), and the PRV signal is extracted. Then, 19 features are extracted from the PRV signal, and 15 features with highly important and significant variation were selected by random forest (RF). Finally, the back-propagation neural network (BPNN), extreme learning machine (ELM), and decision tree (DT) are used to build, train, and test classifiers to detect life-threatening arrhythmias. The experimental data are obtained from the MIMIC/Fantasia and the 2015 Physiology Net/CinC Challenge databases. The experimental results show that the DT classifier has the best average performance with accuracy and kappa coefficient (kappa) of 98.76 ± 0.08% and 97.59 ± 0.15%, which are higher than those of the BPNN (accuracy = 94.85 ± 1.33% and kappa = 89.95 ± 2.62%) and ELM (accuracy = 95.05 ± 0.14% and kappa = 90.28 ± 0.28%) classifiers. The proposed method shows better performance in identifying four life-threatening arrhythmias compared to existing methods and has potential to be used for home monitoring of patients with life-threatening arrhythmias.

Project description:Community detection in complex networks is an important issue in network science. Several statistical measures have been proposed and widely applied to detecting the communities in various complex networks. However, due to the lack of flexibility resolution, some of them have to encounter the resolution limit and thus are not compatible with multi-scale structures of complex networks. In this paper, we investigated a statistical measure of interest for community detection, Significance [Sci. Rep. 3 (2013) 2930], and analyzed its critical behaviors based on the theoretical derivation of critical number of communities and the phase diagram in community-partition transition. It was revealed that Significance exhibits far higher resolution than the traditional Modularity when the intra- and inter-link densities of communities are obviously different. Following the critical analysis, we developed a multi-resolution version of Significance for identifying communities in the multi-scale networks. Experimental tests in several typical networks have been performed and confirmed that the generalized Significance can be competent for the multi-scale communities detection. Moreover, it can effectively relax the first- and second-type resolution limits. Finally, we displayed an important potential application of the multi-scale Significance in computational biology: disease-gene identification, showing that extracting information from the perspective of multi-scale module mining is helpful for disease gene prediction.

Project description:BackgroundRemote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a promising optical method for non-contact assessment of pulse rate (PR) from video recordings. In order to implement the method in real-time applications, it is necessary for the rPPG algorithms to be capable of eliminating as many distortions from the pulse signal as possible.MethodsIn order to increase the degrees-of-freedom of the distortion elimination, the dimensionality of the RGB video signals is increased by the wavelet transform decomposition using the generalized Morse wavelet. The proposed Continuous-Wavelet-Transform-based Sub-Band rPPG method (SB-CWT) is evaluated on the 101 publicly available RGB facial video recordings and corresponding reference blood volume pulse (BVP) signals taken from the MMSE-HR database. The performance of the SB-CWT is compared with the performance of the state-of-the-art Sub-band rPPG (SB).ResultsMedian signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the proposed SB-CWT ranges from 6.63 to 10.39 dB and for the SB from 4.23 to 6.24 dB. The agreement between the estimated PRs from rPPG pulse signals and the reference signals in terms of the coefficients of determination ranges from 0.81 to 0.91 for SB-CWT and from 0.41 to 0.47 for SB. All the correlation coefficients are statistically significant (p < 0.001). The Bland-Altman plots show that mean difference range from 5.37 to 1.82 BPM for SB-CWT and from 22.18 to 18.80 BPM for SB.DiscussionThe results show that the proposed SB-CWT outperforms SB in terms of SNR and the agreement between the estimated PRs from RGB video signals and PRs from the reference BVP signals.

Project description:Electromagnetic radiation is energy that interacts with matter. The interaction process is of great importance to the sensing applications that characterize material media. Parameters like constant dielectric represent matter characteristics and they are identified using emission, interaction and reception of electromagnetic radiation in adapted environmental conditions. How the electromagnetic wave responds when it interacts with the material media depends on the range of frequency used and the medium parameters. Different disciplines use this interaction and provides non-intrusive applications with clear benefits, remote sensing, earth sciences (geology, atmosphere, hydrosphere), biological or medical disciplines use this interaction and provides non-intrusive applications with clear benefits. Electromagnetic waves are transmitted and analyzed in the receiver to determine the interaction produced. In this work a method based in differential measurement technique is proposed as a novel way of detecting and characterizing electromagnetic matter characteristics using sensors based on a microstrip patch. The experimental results, based on simulations, show that it is possible to obtain benefits from the behavior of the wave-medium interaction using differential measurement on reception of electromagnetic waves at different frequencies or environmental conditions. Differential method introduce advantages in measure processes and promote new sensors development. A new microstrip sensor that uses differential time measures is proposed to show the possibilities of this method.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common and dangerous rhythm abnormality. Smartphones are increasingly used for mobile health applications by older patients at risk for AF and may be useful for AF screening.To test whether an enhanced smartphone app for AF detection can discriminate between sinus rhythm (SR), AF, premature atrial contractions (PACs), and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).We analyzed two hundred and nineteen 2-minute pulse recordings from 121 participants with AF (n = 98), PACs (n = 15), or PVCs (n = 15) using an iPhone 4S. We obtained pulsatile time series recordings in 91 participants after successful cardioversion to sinus rhythm from preexisting AF. The PULSE-SMART app conducted pulse analysis using 3 methods (Root Mean Square of Successive RR Differences; Shannon Entropy; Poincare plot). We examined the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive accuracy of the app for AF, PAC, and PVC discrimination from sinus rhythm using the 12-lead EKG or 3-lead telemetry as the gold standard. We also administered a brief usability questionnaire to a subgroup (n = 65) of app users.The smartphone-based app demonstrated excellent sensitivity (0.970), specificity (0.935), and accuracy (0.951) for real-time identification of an irregular pulse during AF. The app also showed good accuracy for PAC (0.955) and PVC discrimination (0.960). The vast majority of surveyed app users (83%) reported that it was "useful" and "not complex" to use.A smartphone app can accurately discriminate pulse recordings during AF from sinus rhythm, PACs, and PVCs.

Project description:Many previous studies have shown that the remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) can measure the Heart Rate (HR) signal with very high accuracy. The remote measurement of the Pulse Rate Variability (PRV) signal is also possible, but this is much more complicated because it is then necessary to detect the peaks on the temporal rPPG signal, which is usually quite noisy and has a lower temporal resolution than PPG signals obtained by contact equipment. Since the PRV signal is vital for various applications such as remote recognition of stress and emotion, the improvement of PRV measurement by rPPG is a critical task. Contact based PRV measurement has already been investigated, but the research on remotely measured PRV is very limited. In this paper, we propose to use the Periodic Variance Maximization (PVM) method to extract the rPPG signal and event-related Two-Window algorithm to improve the peak detection for PRV measurement. We have made several contributions. Firstly, we show that the newly proposed PVM method and Two-Window algorithm can be used for PRV measurement in the non-contact scenario. Secondly, we propose a method to adaptively determine the parameters of the Two-Window method. Thirdly, we compare the algorithm with other attempts for improving the non-contact PRV measurement such as the Slope Sum Function (SSF) method and the Local Maximum method. We calculated several features and compared the accuracy based on the ground truth provided by contact equipment. Our experiments showed that this algorithm performed the best of all the algorithms.

Project description:We estimated the electrically-evoked auditory brainstem response thresholds (eABR THRs) in response to multi-pulses with high burst rate of 10,000 pulses-per-second (pps). Growth functions of wave eV amplitudes, root mean square (RMS) values, peak of phase-locking value (PLV), and the lowest valid data point (LVDP) were calculated in 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-pulses conditions. The growth functions were then fitted and extrapolated with linear and exponential functions to find eABR THRs. The estimated THRs were compared to psychophysical THRs determined for multi-pulse conditions as well as to the clinical THRs measured behaviorally at the rate of 1,000 pps. The growth functions of features showed shallower growth slopes when the number of pulses increased. eABR THRs estimated in 4-, 8-, and 16-pulses conditions were closer to the clinical THRs, when compared to 1- and 2-pulses conditions. However, the smallest difference between estimated eABR THRs and clinical THRs was not always achieved from the same number of pulses. The smallest absolute difference of 30.3 μA was found for the linear fittings on growth functions of eABR RMS values in 4-pulses condition. Pearson's correlation coefficients (PCCs) between eABR THRs and psychophysical THRs were significant and relatively large in all but 16-pulses conditions. The PCCs between eABR THRs and clinical THRs, however, were smaller and in less cases significant. Results of this study showed that eABRs to multi-pulse stimulation could, to some extent, represent clinical stimulation paradigms, and thus in comparison to single pulses, could estimate clinical THRs with smaller errors.

Project description:We report a machine learning approach to accurately correlate the impedance variations in zinc oxide/multi walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite (F-MWCNT/ZnO-NFs) to NH4+ ions concentrations. Impedance response of F-MWCNT/ZnO-NFs nanocomposites with varying ZnO:MWCNT compositions were evaluated for its sensitivity and selectivity to NH4+ ions in the presence of structurally similar analytes. A decision-making model was built, trained and tested using important features of the impedance response of F-MWCNT/ZnO-NF to varying NH4+ concentrations. Different algorithms such as kNN, random forest, neural network, Naïve Bayes and logistic regression are compared and discussed. ML analysis have led to identify the most prominent features of an impedance spectrum that can be used as the ML predictors to estimate the real concentration of NH4+ ion levels. The proposed NH4+ sensor along with the decision-making model can identify and operate at specific operating frequencies to continuously collect the most relevant information from a system.

Project description:In genome-wide association studies, detecting high-order epistasis is important for analyzing the occurrence of complex human diseases and explaining missing heritability. However, there are various challenges in the actual high-order epistasis detection process due to the large amount of data, "small sample size problem", diversity of disease models, etc. This paper proposes a multi-objective genetic algorithm (EpiMOGA) for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) epistasis detection. The K2 score based on the Bayesian network criterion and the Gini index of the diversity of the binary classification problem were used to guide the search process of the genetic algorithm. Experiments were performed on 26 simulated datasets of different models and a real Alzheimer's disease dataset. The results indicated that EpiMOGA was obviously superior to other related and competitive methods in both detection efficiency and accuracy, especially for small-sample-size datasets, and the performance of EpiMOGA remained stable across datasets of different disease models. At the same time, a number of SNP loci and 2-order epistasis associated with Alzheimer's disease were identified by the EpiMOGA method, indicating that this method is capable of identifying high-order epistasis from genome-wide data and can be applied in the study of complex diseases.

Project description:A near-infrared sensor for cyanide ion (CN(-)) was developed via internal charge transfer (ICT). This sensor can selectively detect CN(-) either through dual-ratiometric fluorescence (logarithm of I414/I564 and I803/I564) or under various absorption (356 and 440 nm) and emission (414, 564 and 803 nm) channels. Especially, the proposed method can be employed to measure β-glucosidase by detecting CN(-) traces in commercial amygdalin samples.
