Occlusion and narrowing of the arteries may lead to several cardiovascular diseases and therefore in-time diagnosis and treatment of PAD is essential. There are several invasive and noninvasive methods to diagnosis of PAD, however, still an automated, easy-to-use, and affordable device for in-home monitoring of cardiovascular health is lacking. In this study, an oscillometric system is used to record arterial wall oscillations at different external pressures in lower and upper limbs. Wavelet transform is used to extract features from the amplitude of the recorded arterial wall oscillations and an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is used to identify PAD based on the extracted features. Because of the ANFIS high computational cost, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is applied to the features to reduce their dimension before feeding them to ANFIS. The performance of proposed method is compared versus the conventional ankle-brachial test on a dataset of oscillometric recording obtained from 14 patients with PAD and 14 healthy individuals. Based on a five-fold cross validation, our method achieved an accuracy of 82% in detecting PAD. The results show promise toward the development of in-home cardiovascular monitors for cardiovascular health assessment.","PeriodicalId":429222,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128010498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, radiofrequency (RF) planar resonator probes have been used to characterize MUTs by evaluating their dielectric properties. Many studies proposed these devices as biosensors, especially for dielectric measurement of living cellular suspension or even single cell. However, even though these cellular applications represent a starting point for medical diagnostic improvement, they do not consider cell interaction and adhesion. We proposed a preliminary study to design a circular patch resonator to detect adherent cell cultures in this work. Different configurations comprising a patch smaller, equal and greater than that of a standard culture Petri dish have been analyzed. The simulation results were then compared with the theoretical ones obtained applying the circular microstrip antenna’s empirical equation. Results showed that the simulation outcomes differed from the theoretical ones less than 1.5%. Finally, once the best patch diameter was identified, two other simulation sets were carried out to evaluate the antenna’s sensitivity. In the first set, we simulated the antenna response to four different volumes of culture medium (from 1.50 ml to 6.00 ml), while in the second one, we simulated the antenna response to different levels of C2C12 cell confluence in a fixed volume (1.5 ml) of culture medium. The results showed that the designed probe could discriminate between medium and C2C12 culture cells based on their permittivity change.","PeriodicalId":429222,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123594516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the tympanic membrane or eardrum is very close to the hypothalamus in the brain that controls body temperature and shares blood, it reflects body temperature in the best way. Infrared thermometers are devices that measure body temperature by detecting thermal radiation from the tympanic membrane. In medical diagnostic and clinical applications, ear thermometers, which are commonly used nowadays, need to be monitored within the traceability chain to see if they work within the proper accuracy limits. For this reason, both the primary level calibration system and portable calibrator of IRETs have been developed in TÜBİTAK UME. In this study, the measurement results of the laboratory type ear thermometer reference system and portable calibrator developed for the calibration of infrared ear thermometers were compared with each other and it has been discussed whether these two systems meet the requirements of ASTM 1998 and EN 2003 standards.","PeriodicalId":429222,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128299658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He described four types of erroneous responses, named as follow: 1) difference error; 2) figure repetition error; 3) inadequate individuation error: 4) incomplete correlate error. Raven claimed that the qualitative analysis of the pattern of errors could be useful in the analysis of the level of reasoning used during the execution of the test: each error can have a different level of sophistication, the more sophisticated error is the more similar to the correct option (Raven et al., 1995) and each error gives some indication of the processes and the strategies used during the solution of the item(Raven et al., 1990). Moreover, there is a general agreement on the usefulness of qualitative error analysis to collect more information on the reasoning abilities. The present study aims to propose some findings of the assessment of the pattern of errors on Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices in a kindergarten and primary schoolsample and to propose some hints of analysis on the role of the evaluation of types of errors from a clinical point of view. We also discuss about the use of pattern of errors evaluation as a way to gain information about reasoning during intelligence assessment. We also discuss its use during the current COVID-19 pandemic, as a way tocollectas more information as possible about reasoning in each individual, even with the use of e-platforms, like the ones used as alternative to face-to-face assessment of intelligence.","PeriodicalId":429222,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130614170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Automatic examination of electrocardiogram (ECG) acquired during sport activity is challenging because acquisition conditions often lead to record ECGs with low signal to noise ratio (SNR). The initial issue of automatic ECG analysis is the identification of R peaks. R peaks are fundamental for the estimation of heart rate, which is the primary clinical parameter used by athletes for athletic performance evaluation. Thus, the aim of this research is to propose an R-peak detection algorithm for ECGs acquired during sport activity by portable and wearable sensors dealing with low SNR. The algorithm is based on a noise assisted data analysis method: Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition method (EEMD). Localization of R peaks is primarily performed on the first intrinsic mode function extracted by the EEMD. The algorithm was tested on ‘Run on indoor treadmill’ dataset from Physionet. ECGs were acquired during running/light jogging on an indoor treadmill and present a low SNR (1±7 dB). The developed EEMD-based algorithm showed good performances in terms of positive predicted value (91.08%), sensitivity (92.76%), false discovery rate (8.92), false negative rate (7.24%), cumulative statistical index (83.84%) and mean R-peak position error 1.10 [0.46;1.46]ms. EEMD-based algorithm performs efficiently also in computing heart rate. In conclusion, the developed R-peak detection EEMD-based algorithm showed good level of performances even working on low-SNR ECG acquired during sport activity by portable sensors.","PeriodicalId":429222,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132167394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The possibility to use serious exergames as tools of ambient assisted living to promote physical activities during the COVID-19 pandemic lock-down period is considered appropriate to enhance patients’ engagement in physical rehabilitation exercises performed at home. The analyzed data in this study provides HRV information collected from a small group of healthy volunteers that participated in two gameplay sessions of the VR serious exergame. Two levels of difficulty were considered. HRV parameters were calculated from the analysis of electrocardiograms (ECG) for an imposed protocol characterized by three different periods (rest, play and rest) The HRV analysis was based on time-domain and frequency-domain methods and the experimental results showed significant changes associated with different game sessions. Higher values of HF components and RMSSD were obtained for a less physical demanding gameplay session, whereas the predominance of LF components was observed for the game session with high level of difficulty. These findings suggested that this serious game had an important impact on both physical and cognitive stimulation, and therefore its implementation in home-based assisted environments can help increase weekly performance of physical activity, enhance balance and limbs mobility, help to reduce anxiety levels, and maintain high levels of HRV.","PeriodicalId":429222,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131834731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
