Contrast-Phys+: Unsupervised and Weakly-Supervised Video-Based Remote Physiological Measurement via Spatiotemporal Contrast.

Video-based remote physiological measurement utilizes facial videos to measure the blood volume change signal, which is also called remote photoplethysmography (rPPG). Supervised methods for rPPG measurements have been shown to achieve good performance. However, the drawback of these methods is that they require facial videos with ground truth (GT) physiological signals, which are often costly and difficult to obtain.

VidBP: Detecting Blood Pressure from Facial Videos with Personalized Calibration.

Recent studies have found that blood volume pulse (BVP) in facial videos contains features highly correlated to blood pressure (BP). However, the mapping from BVP features to BP varies from person to person. To address this issue, VidBP has been proposed as a BP detector that can be calibrated based on an individual's data.

Non-Contact Atrial Fibrillation Detection From Face Videos by Learning Systolic Peaks.

Objective: We propose a non-contact approach for atrial fibrillation (AF) detection from face videos.

Methods: Face videos, electrocardiography (ECG), and contact photoplethysmography (PPG) from 100 healthy subjects and 100 AF patients are recorded. Data recordings from healthy subjects are all labeled as healthy.

Inhibition of MALT1 Alleviates Spinal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury-Induced Neuroinflammation by Modulating Glial Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Rats.

Purpose: Glial activation and the disorders of cytokine secretion induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are crucial pathogenic processes in establishing ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of the brain and spinal cord. This present study aimed to investigate the effects of mucous-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) on spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion (SCI/R) injury via regulating glial ERS.

Methods: SCI/R was induced by thoracic aorta occlusion-reperfusion in rats.
