Pathogenesis, Assessment, and Treatment of Coronary Microcirculation Dysfunction.

Cardiovascular disease is the predominant cause of mortality on a global scale. Research indicates that women exhibit a greater likelihood of presenting with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) when experiencing symptoms of myocardial ischemia in comparison to men. Additionally, women tend to experience a higher burden of symptoms relative to men, and despite the presence of ischemic heart disease, they are frequently reassured erroneously due to the absence of obstructive CAD.

Results: The results demonstrate a robust positive association between social support and eating self-efficacy, particularly prominent among individuals with low BMI (effect = 0.

An interpretable ensemble trees method with joint analysis of static and dynamic features for myocardial infarction detection.

In recent years, artificial intelligence-based electrocardiogram (ECG) methods have been massively applied to myocardial infarction (MI). However, the joint analysis of static and dynamic features to achieve accurate and interpretable MI detection has not been comprehensively addressed.This paper proposes a simplified ensemble tree method with a joint analysis of static and dynamic features to solve this issue for MI detection.

Durable superhydrophobic surface in wearable sensors: From nature to application.

The current generation of wearable sensors often experiences signal interference and external corrosion, leading to device degradation and failure. To address these challenges, the biomimetic superhydrophobic approach has been developed, which offers self-cleaning, low adhesion, corrosion resistance, anti-interference, and other properties. Such surfaces possess hierarchical nanostructures and low surface energy, resulting in a smaller contact area with the skin or external environment.

Coronary artery calcification: concepts and clinical applications.

Vascular calcification is an important hallmark of atherosclerosis. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) implies the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), irrespective of risk factors or symptoms, is concomitant with the development of advanced atherosclerosis. Coronary thrombosis is the most common clinical end event leading to acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Denoising magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data using stacked autoencoder for improving signal-to-noise ratio and speed of MRS.

Background: While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides high resolution anatomical images with sharp soft tissue contrast, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) enables non-invasive detection and measurement of biochemicals and metabolites. However, MRS has low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when concentrations of metabolites are in the range of millimolar. Standard approach of using a high number of signal averaging (NSA) to achieve sufficient SNR comes at the cost of a long acquisition time.
