A Portable Multi-Modal Cushion for Continuous Monitoring of a Driver's Vital Signs.

With higher levels of automation in vehicles, the need for robust driver monitoring systems increases, since it must be ensured that the driver can intervene at any moment. Drowsiness, stress and alcohol are still the main sources of driver distraction. However, physiological problems such as heart attacks and strokes also exhibit a significant risk for driver safety, especially with respect to the ageing population.

Multi-step ahead predictive model for blood glucose concentrations of type-1 diabetic patients.

Continuous monitoring of blood glucose (BG) levels is a key aspect of diabetes management. Patients with Type-1 diabetes (T1D) require an effective tool to monitor these levels in order to make appropriate decisions regarding insulin administration and food intake to keep BG levels in target range. Effectively and accurately predicting future BG levels at multi-time steps ahead benefits a patient with diabetes by helping them decrease the risks of extremes in BG including hypo- and hyperglycemia.

Macroscopic picture of gastric mucosa in endoscopic examination of patients with chronic gastritis and food allergy.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the difference in macroscopic picture of the stomach in patients with food allergy and in non-atopic patients with H. pylori infection.

Material And Methods: In the study, patients with atopic diathesis, suffering from dyspepsia or abdominal pain were analysed.

Evaluating the profile of selected cytokines in patients with food allergy and chronic gastritis.

Introduction: Evaluating the profile of selected cytokines in patients with food allergy and chronic gastritis. Cytokines are produced by many cells and they play a role of mediators in the development of local and systemic inflammatory reaction. The aim of the study was to determine serum concentrations of IL-4, IL-5, IL-8, TNF alpha in patients with chronic gastritis and food allergy, who had been infected with H.
