Intuitionistic Fuzzy Biofeedback Control of Implanted Dual-Sensor Cardiac Pacemakers.

Cardiac pacemakers are used for handling bradycardia, which is a cardiac rhythm of usually less than 60 beats per minute. Therapeutic dual-sensor pacemakers aim to preserve or restore the normal electromechanical activity of the cardiac muscle. In this article, a novel intelligent controller has been developed for implanted dual-sensor cardiac pacemakers.

Collaborative caching discovery management in mobile ad hoc networks environments.

Accessing distant data items in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) environments pose a huge challenge due to mobility and resource constraints. A number of research studies have been developed to enhance data accessibility and decrease the number of pending queries. A collaborative caching technique is considered as an efficient mechanism to increase data accessibility and decrease the latency which in turn reduces the pending queries.

Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces Enhanced Mobile Edge Computing: Minimizing the Maximum Computational Time.

Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) and mobile edge computing (MEC) have recently attracted significant attention in academia and industry. Without consuming any external energy, IRS can extend wireless coverage by smartly reconfiguring the phase shift of a signal towards the receiver with the help of passive elements. On the other hand, MEC has the ability to reduce latency by providing extensive computational facilities to users.

Management of peritonitis in a patient on peritoneal dialysis without catheter removal.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis is an important contributor to morbidity and mortality; Gram-positive bacteria constitute the most frequent associated pathogens (45%-60%) followed by Gram-negative bacteria (25%-40%) and fungal infection (3%-6%). Salmonella peritonitis is an extremely rare cause of peritonitis (0.15%).

Electrochemical Detection of Acetaminophen with Silicon Nanowires.

Acetaminophen (APAP) is an antipyretic, analgesic agent, the overdose of which during medical treatment poses a risk for liver failure. Hence, it is important to develop methods to monitor physiological APAP levels to avoid APAP. Here, we report an efficient, selective electrochemical APAP sensor made from depositing silicon nanowires (SiNWs) onto glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs).
