However, it has become less effective due to the efforts to reduce the number of recording electrodes. To address this issue, we propose an extension of ICA that can extract the fetal electrocardiogram from only two maternal abdominal electric signals. We solve this problem by increasing the dimension of the observed signals using the method of delays, followed by spatio-spectral filtering to separate the source signals. By iteratively applying this approach, we can extract signals that are not separable using the original observations alone. These signals are then clustered to create signal subspaces corresponding to different sources, allowing for a rough reconstruction of signal components produced by these sources. This initial decomposition can then be refined by using the reconstructed components as new observations, extending the original ones, and applying ICA to this extended signal representation.Applied to two-channel maternal abdominal signals, the proposed method was able to extract 3 source signals (two maternal and one fetal), resulting in the achievement of the goal of over-complete blind source separation (BSS). Furthermore, the method enabled the successful detection of fetal QRS (fQRS) complexes in experiments on two datasets of real-world maternal abdominal signals. For the ADFECGDB dataset, the method reached the sensitivity, positive predictivity, and F1 score of 100%, 99.97%, and 99.98%, respectively, outperforming all reference methods. For the PREGNANCY dataset, the corresponding values were 98.95%, 98.92%, and 98.93%, second only to one reference method.</div>","PeriodicalId":55381,"journal":{"name":"Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"44 1","pages":"Pages 247-263"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139943001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the biomechanical behavior of the stomatognathic system in a TMD patient with personalized splints by finite element analysis. The therapeutic position, determined based on the intercuspal position, served as the basis for designing personalized customized splints. The design of occlusal contact and splint structure was evaluated in terms of their impact on the maximum stress level in the TMJ and the biting forces on the dentition. The relationship between joint stress and biting force was further examined during treatment with different customized splints. In preoperative case, there was a significant increase in stress level and stress concentration in the medial to posterior band of the articular disc. However, in all customized splint cases, the highest stress area shifted to the intermediate zone and exhibited a decrease. Notably, the bi-splints demonstrated superior ability in relieving overloading and balancing the occlusal force on both sides of the dentition, as verified by clinical treatment.

The hypothesis of this work is twofold: spatial patterns emerge in EEG signals from functional connectivity (FC) analysis during lower limb movements, and the spatial patterns are mosto robust in some frequency bands than in others. Accordingly, a set of human subjects without neuromotor pathologies participated in an experimental trial where EEG signals were recorded during lower limb movements. The FC was studied with coherence analysis (in <math><mi>δ</mi></math>, <math><mi>θ</mi></math>, and <math><mi>α</mi></math>) and graph theory was proposed to study the characteristics of spatial dynamics by means a set of metrics (degree, maximum connection, and closeness centrality) and two distances (Hamming distance and Jaccard). Finally, a statistical study of the metrics by frequency band was performed to analyze the significant differences between the phases of each stage and movement, considering the proposed metrics. The results of the study indicated that the frequency bands that showed greater statistical significance in the analysis were <math><mi>δ</mi></math>, <math><mi>θ</mi></math>, and <math><mi>α</mi></math> and that the major differences in graph dynamics were shown in degree, maximum connection, and closeness centrality in <math><mi>α</mi></math> band.

A context-dependent recognition system is proposed in which the same class of sEMG signals may have a different interpretation, depending on the context. This allowed the repertoire of performed movements to be increased. The proposed structure of the context-dependent recognition system includes unambiguously defined decision sequences covering the overall action of the prosthesis, i.e. the so-called boxes. Because the boxes are mutually isolated environments, each box has its own interpretation of the recognition result, as well as a separate local-recognition-task-focused classifier.Due to the freedom to assign contextual meanings to classes of biosignals, the construction procedure of the classifier can be optimised in terms of the local classification quality in a given box or the classification quality of the entire system. In the paper, two optimisation problems are formulated, differing in the adopted constraints on optimisation variables, with the methods of solving the problems based on an exhaustive search and an evolutionary algorithm, being developed.Experimental studies were conducted using signals from 1 able-bodied person with simulation of amputation and 10 volunteers with transradial amputations. The study compared the classical recognition system and the context-dependent system for various classifier models. An unusual testing strategy was adopted in the research, taking into account the specificity of the considered recognition task, with two original quality measures resulting from this scheme then being applied. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis that the application of the context-dependent classifier led to an improvement in classification quality.</div>","PeriodicalId":55381,"journal":{"name":"Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"44 1","pages":"Pages 161-182"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139549143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a significant public health concern worldwide, associated with high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. For advanced heart failure cases not responding to medical therapy, heart transplantation or mechanical circulatory support with ventricular assist devices (VADs) can be considered. In the specific case of bi-ventricular heart failure a replacement of both ventricles is required. In this context a Total Artificial Heart (TAH) may be proposed as a bridge to transplant solution. Additionally, bi-ventricular assist devices (BiVADs) are available to support both ventricles simultaneously. However Bi-ventricular heart failure management is difficult with poor outcomes. New surgical procedures appear to propose solutions after both ventricle failure. One of these intervention uses two continuous-flow VADs as a total artificial heart after cardiac explantation due to myocardial sarcoma. Unfortunately, this procedure makes patient management very difficult as pulmonary pressures and flow rate are no longer measurable after the surgical procedure. The setting of both pumps is hence a complex task for patient management. This article aims at helping clinicians on patient management undergoing double assistance after cardiac explantation by predicting the different outcomes on the vascular grid for all the possible rotational speed combination using a lumped model. Results provide a range of both pump operating conditions suitable for delivering a physiologically adapted flow to the vascular grid when combined with hypotensive treatments.</div>","PeriodicalId":55381,"journal":{"name":"Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"44 1","pages":"Pages 105-118"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139433595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By reducing the spatial coherence of the laser, we suppress coherent noise, and, consequently, improve the imaging depth.

Then, we analyze it using methods from the laser Doppler flowmetry, namely, by analyzing the Doppler broadening caused by moving light scatterers (red blood cells). However, contrary to conventional approaches, we use multiple illumination wavelengths. This enables us to render the structural volumetric and blood flow images from the same dataset concurrently.

We proposed a novel Multi-scale Local-Global Transformer network (MsLGT-Net) for biomarker segmentation in retinal OCT images. The network combines the proposed Multi-scale Fusion Attention (MFA) module, Local-Global Transformer (LGT) module, and Contrastive Learning Enhancement (CLE) module to tackle the challenges of biomarker segmentation. Specifically, the proposed MFA module aims to enhance the network’s ability to learn multi-scale features of retinal biomarkers by effectively combining the local detail information and contextual semantic information of biomarkers at different scales, and improve the representation ability for different classes of biomarkers. The LGT module is designed to learn local and global information adaptively from multi-scale fused features to address the challenge of small biomarker segmentation. In addition, to distinguish features between different types of retinal biomarkers, we propose the CLE module to enhance the feature representation of different biomarkers.
