Initial trial of three‑lead wearable electrocardiogram monitoring in a full marathon.

Unlabelled: Sudden cardiac arrest during exercise can occur without prior warning signs at rest, highlighting the importance of monitoring for its prevention. To detect the signs of ischemic heart disease, including coronary artery anomalies, ST changes must be detected using three‑lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) corresponding to each region of the three coronary artery branches. We conducted ECG monitoring of five runners during a marathon using a wearable three‑lead ECG device (e-skin ECG; Xenoma Inc.

Remote vital signs data monitoring during home blood transfusion: A pilot study.

Background And Aims: Our study aimed to establish safer methods to manage home blood transfusion by using a remote vital signs data monitoring system. Home care is administered for patients with various medical disorders; however, home blood transfusion remains challenging owing to the risk of transfusion-related complications.

Methods: We set up a remote vital signs data monitoring system to improve the safety of home blood transfusions.

Initial evaluation of a novel electrocardiography sensor-embedded fabric wear during a full marathon.

Sudden cardiac accident (SCA) during a marathon is a concern due to the popularity of the sport. Preventive strategies, such as cardiac screening and deployment of automated external defibrillators have controversial cost-effectiveness. We investigated the feasibility of use of a new electrocardiography (ECG) sensor-embedded fabric wear (SFW) during a marathon as a novel preventive strategy against SCA.

Theoretical concept of cortical to cancellous bone transformation.

Microstructures of cortical and cancellous bones are altered continually by load-adaptive remodeling; in addition, their cellular mechanisms are similar despite the remarkably different porosities. The cortico-cancellous transitional zone is a site of vigorous remodeling, and intracortical remodeling cavitates the inner cortex to promote its trabecularization, which is considered the main cause of bone loss because of aging. Therefore, to prevent and treat age-related cortical bone loss effectively, it is indispensable to gain an integrated understanding of the cortical to the cancellous bone transformation via remodeling.

A new approach to prevent critical cardiac accidents in athletes by real-time electrocardiographic tele-monitoring system: Initial trial in full marathon.

The majority of marathon deaths are caused by sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), which occur in approximately 1 in 57,000 runners. Such deaths are more common among older males and usually occur in the last 4 miles of the racecourse. Although prompt resuscitation, including early use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), improves survival, the deployment of enough trained medical staff and AEDs is difficult due to increased cost.
