This study aims to investigate whether axial wall displacement at the CCA is solely from Young waves. A pulse wave propagation theory is utilized to identify two types of waves, Young waves and Lamb waves, in an artery, and identifies two sources for axial wall displacement, wall shear stress and radial wall displacement gradient with a factor of the difference between axial and circumferential initial tension, which reveals the influence of axial initial tension on the waveform of axial wall displacement. Theoretical expressions are derived for calculating the waveforms of axial wall displacement and its two sources in the Young waves. With the measured pulsatile pressure and blood velocity at the CA of three healthy adults as the inputs, the waveforms of axial wall displacement in the Young waves are calculated at different values of axial initial tension, and are found to greatly differ from their measured counterparts. As such, the Lamb waves may contribute to axial wall displacement at the CCA and the associated physical and physiological implications are discussed. Given the clinical values of axial wall displacement at the CCA, the Lamb waves may play a non-negligible role in determining arterial health and needs to be further studied for a comprehensive assessment of arterial wall mechanics.","PeriodicalId":73734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of engineering and science in medical diagnostics and therapy","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81444222","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}

In practice, external Insulin delivery is the only method to deal with this disease. To this end, a multi-objective optimal control for insulin delivery is introduced in this paper. Three conflicting objectives are considered: minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, and reducing the amount of injected insulin. These objectives are simultaneously minimized while tuning the closed-loop system parameters that include the design details of the linear-quadratic regulator(LQR) and estimator speed of convergence. The lower and upper bounds of the LQR setup parameters are determined by Bryson's rule taking into account the nominal glucose range (70 – 160 mg/dL) and maximum and minimum pump infusion rates (0.0024 –15 mU/min). The lower and upper bounds of the estimator convergence speed are chosen such that the estimator is faster than the fastest mode of the closed-loop system. For computer simulations, Bergman's minimal model, which is one of the commonly used models, is employed to simulate glucose-insulin dynamics in Type-I diabetic patients. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) solves the optimization problem, one of the widely used algorithms in solving multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs). The optimal solutions in terms of the Pareto set and its image, the Pareto front, are obtained and analyzed. The results show that the MOP solution introduces many optimal options from which the decision-maker can choose to implement. Furthermore, under high initial glucose levels, parametric variations of Bergman's model, and external disturbance; the optimal control performance is tested to show that the system can bring glucose levels quickly to the desired value regardless of high initial glucose concentrations, can efficiently work for different patients, and is robust against irregular snacks or meals.","PeriodicalId":73734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of engineering and science in medical diagnostics and therapy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77541735","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}

Despite potential benefits of naturally occurring heterogeneity in the lungs, there may also be detrimental effects arising from pathologic processes, which may result in deficiencies in gas transport and exchange. Regardless of etiology, pathologic heterogeneity results in the maldistribution of regional ventilation and perfusion, impairments in gas exchange, and increased work of breathing. In extreme situations, heterogeneity may result in respiratory failure, necessitating support with a mechanical ventilator. This review will present a summary of measurement techniques for assessing and quantifying heterogeneity in respiratory system structure and function during mechanical ventilation. These methods have been grouped according to four broad categories: (1) inverse modeling of heterogeneous mechanical function; (2) capnography and washout techniques to measure heterogeneity of gas transport; (3) measurements of heterogeneous deformation on the surface of the lung; and finally (4) imaging techniques used to observe spatially-distributed ventilation or regional deformation.

At present, no therapeutic agent has been approved for the treatment of SIC. Identifying drugs for SIC from Chinese medicine is an encouraging research direction. The predicted targets and effective components of PRR were identified by analysis of the TCMSP database. Bioinformatics databases were employed to identify the disease targets of SIC. These key targets were then uploaded to the STRING database to generate protein-protein interaction networks. The ORG package in R v4.1.2 software was applied for functional and pathway enrichment analyses of the key targets. Finally, discovery studio software was used to perform docking analyses of key targets and effective components. Nine chemically active components and eighty-four common targets associated with drugs and SIC were identified. PPI network analysis identified several key targets. Further analysis identified enrichment in several signaling pathways; these changes could exert influence on a number of biological processes, including responses to xenobiotic stimuli, oxidative stress, molecules of bacterial origin, thus playing an anti-SIC pharmacological role. According to molecular docking results, these key targets had strong binding affinity to the active components. PRR can contribute to SIC by medicating core target genes (e.g., CASP3, PTGS2, TP53, AKT1, MMP9, TNF, JUN, IL6, and CXCL8), and regulating multiple key pathways (e.g., the Lipid and atherosclerosis pathway).","PeriodicalId":73734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of engineering and science in medical diagnostics and therapy","volume":"210 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75470827","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}

Applications of a SLAM algorithm are important for autonomous mobile systems to traverse an environment while avoiding obstacles and accurately achieving designated goal destinations. This paper presents the design of a SLAM-driven controller for a semi-autonomous omnidirectional mobile robot. Input to the system comes from a Brain Computer Interface in the form of simple driving commands or a goal destination as decided by the user. Due to latency issues of reacting and responding in real time, the system must safely navigate following the last given commands until it runs out of free space, reaches a goal designation, or receives a new command. The robotic system utilizes a three-wheeled robot kit with an upgraded sensor system. The Intel RealSense Depth Camera D435 and two lidar sensors are utilized to construct a full 360° field of view. The SLAM algorithm and system controllers are developed using the Robot Operating System (ROS). The controllers are developed and tested within Gazebo, which is a physics simulation engine utilized for rapid prototyping. Testing was performed to validate controller performance when given varying commands as well as performing long distance path planning and obstacle avoidance. The system was often capable of achieving its goal destinations with a small error of around 3% or less though the error was found to increase with the more commands the system processed.","PeriodicalId":73734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of engineering and science in medical diagnostics and therapy","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89588208","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}

Pulse wave propagation in an artery is formulated as a combination of the governing equations of blood flow and the arterial wall and no-slip conditions at the blood-wall interface, and is analyzed to obtain the wave velocity and the theoretical expressions for blood flow rate and radial wall displacement in terms of pulsatile pressure. With the harmonics of a pulse signal, theoretical relations of radial vibration of the arterial wall to pulsatile parameters in blood flow are derived under two conditions: without and with wave reflection. These theoretical relations identify the assumptions for the simplified relations employed in the utility of radial vibration of the arterial wall for clinical values. With the arterial wall treated as a unit-mass vibration system, these simplified relations are utilized for extraction of arterial indices from radial vibration of the arterial wall. Other applications of such relations for clinical values are discussed, and the interaction between the arterial wall and blood flow is further revealed from the perspective of energy and 1D wave equations. With harmonics and wave reflection considered, the derived theoretical expressions for radial wall vibration, pulsatile parameters in blood flow, and the relations between them provide a theoretical guidance for improving their interpretation for clinical values with clearly-defined physiological implications and assumptions.","PeriodicalId":73734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of engineering and science in medical diagnostics and therapy","volume":"100 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83068496","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}
