A common cardiovascular disease is the coronary artery disease which results in the development of a plaque inside the coronary artery. This process, called atherosclerosis, reduces the gross cross section area of the lumen and creates an enhanced stress distribution in the arterial tissue which can further lead to rupture of the plaque initiating a myocardium infarction and manifesting a sharp angina in the patient. This work aims to analyse the evolution of the response of a sclerotic coronary artery as compared to a healthy artery. A three layered arterial tissue has been modeled in commercial finite element software. The layers were adhered by implementing contact modeling. Next a plaque was introduced in the model that would result in the reduction of the cross section of the lumen by 50 percentage. The plaque was modeled using hydrostatic fluid elements and was assumed to be incompressible. An axisymmetric finite element analysis was carried out for the tissues under a radial pressure.

Until now, numerous methods have been proposed for sleep-wake classification. These methods predominantly utilize electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, achieving competitive performance in sleep-wake stage classification. However, acquiring EEG signals is both cumbersome and inconvenient. At the same time, EEG signals are very weak and are easily disturbed. In contrast EEG signal, collecting electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is relatively simple and convenient. Therefore, based on the ECG signals, we propose a simple and effective sleep-wake stages model that can be used for wearable devices. In order to extract multi-scale features of ECG signals, convolutional kernels of different sizes are designed. Then, a novel dynamic connection convolutional neural network (DCCNN) is proposed to classify sleep-wake stages. First, the DCCNN calculates the goodness of feature maps from each layer. Second, according to the goodness of different layers, select the optimal layer to form a residual module with the current layer. The proposed method was tested on sleep data from a publicly accessible databases, namely the MIT-BIH Polysomnographic Database, resulting in an best accuracy of 92.21%. The findings are similar and higher performance to those models trained with EEG signals. Moreover, when compared to state-of-the-art methods, the proposed approach's effectiveness is further demonstrated.

Early detection is crucial given the increasing global prevalence of diabetes and the grave risk of complications if not properly managed. Thus, a good prediction system is necessary. Although the Decision Tree (DT) is commonly used for classification, it is less effective with large datasets. We propose hyperparameter optimization of the DT using the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), which has exploration and both exploitation capabilities. However, the limited search space of GWO may hinder practical exploration and exploitation, leading to premature optimization. To address this, we propose a modified GWO (MGWO) by adding the Levy distribution function to enhance the movements of alpha, beta, and delta wolves. We also provide GA (Genetic Algorithm) as a comparative algorithm. The fitness value of MGWO is 0.8498, surpassing GWO (0.8373) and GA (0.8492). Evaluation results indicate that MGWO and GA yield similar and superior accuracy compared to GWO. The proposed method outperforms existing ones.
