Twenty-six infants with SMA and twenty-seven healthy infants had been enrolled and assessed with EIM as part of the NeuroNEXT SMA biomarker study.

Within the literature, it has become increasingly common for authors to discuss skeletal muscle growth adaptations in the context of increases in total training volume (i.e. the magnitude progression in total training volume). The present manuscript discusses a physiological rationale for progressive overload and then explains why, in our opinion, quantifying the progression of total training volume within research investigations tells very little about muscle growth adaptations to resistance training. Our opinion is based on the following research findings: (1) a noncausal connection between increases in total training volume (i.e. progressively overloading the resistance exercise stimulus) and increases in skeletal muscle size; (2) similar changes in total training volume may not always produce similar increases in muscle size; and (3) the ability to exercise more and consequently amass larger increases in total training volume may not inherently produce more skeletal muscle growth. The methodology of quantifying changes in total training volume may therefore provide a means through which researchers can mathematically determine the total amount of external 'work' performed within a resistance training study.

The widespread adoption of Photoplethysmography (PPG) as a non-invasive method for detecting blood volume variations and deriving vital physiological parameters reflecting health status has surged, primarily due to its accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and non-intrusive nature.

However, the joint analysis of static and dynamic features to achieve accurate and interpretable MI detection has not been comprehensively addressed.<i>Approach.</i>This paper proposes a simplified ensemble tree method with a joint analysis of static and dynamic features to solve this issue for MI detection. Initially, the dynamic features are extracted by modeling the intrinsic dynamics of ECG via dynamic learning in addition to extracting classical static features. Secondly, a two-stage feature selection strategy is designed to identify a few significant features, which substitute the original variables that are employed in constructing the ensemble tree. This approach enhances the discriminative ability by selecting significant static and dynamic features. Subsequently, this paper presents an interpretable classification method named StackTree by introducing a stacked ensemble scheme to modify the ensemble tree simplification algorithm. The representative rules of the raw ensemble trees are selected as the intermediate training data that is used to retrain a decision tree with performance close to that of the source ensemble model. Using this scheme, the significant precision and interpretability of MI detection are thus comprehensively addressed.<i>Main results.</i>The effectiveness of our method in detecting MI is evaluated using the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and clinical database. The findings suggest that our algorithm outperforms the traditional methods based on a single type of feature. Additionally, it is comparable to the conventional random forest, achieving 97.1% accuracy under the inter-patient framework on the PTB database. Furthermore, feature subsets trained on PTB are validated using the clinical database, resulting in an accuracy of 84.5%. The chosen important features demonstrate that both static and dynamic information have crucial roles in MI detection. Crucially, the proposed method provides clear internal workings in an easy-to-understand visual manner.</p>","PeriodicalId":20047,"journal":{"name":"Physiological measurement","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141724158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new approach called cardiac triangle mapping (CTM) has been recently proposed, which can provide a non-invasive estimate of LVEDP. We hypothesized that a hybrid machine-learning (ML) method based on CTM can instantaneously identify an elevated LVEDP using simultaneously measured femoral pressure waveform and electrocardiogram (ECG).<i>Approach.</i>We studied 46 patients (Age: 39-90 (66.4 ± 9.9), BMI: 20.2-36.8 (27.6 ± 4.1), 12 females) scheduled for clinical left heart catheterizations or coronary angiograms at University of Southern California Keck Medical Center.
