Remote detection of photoacoustic signals is a well desired ability, enabling to perform advanced imaging in scenarios where contact is not possible. Various unique solutions have been suggested, including a camera-based speckle contrast photoacoustic detection. In this manuscript, a significant upgrade to the camera-based speckle contrast approach is presented and experimentally demonstrated.

: Continuous monitoring of fetal heart rate (FHR) is essential to diagnose heart abnormalities. Therefore, FHR measurement is considered as the most important parameter to evaluate heart function. One method of FHR extraction is done by using fetal phonocardiogram (fPCG) signal, which is obtained directly from the mother abdominal surface with a medical stethoscope.

Although visualization of heart sounds, known as phonocardiography, provides valuable information on cardiovascular hemodynamics, its use has not been widely encouraged due to the scarcity of information on its interpretation. In the present study, using the intraoperative phonocardiogram recorded by an esophageal stethoscope, we quantitatively evaluated the time and frequency domains of modulation of the heart sounds components and their association with left ventricular contractility and systemic vascular resistance under the effects of various cardiovascular drugs. We analyzed 29 pairs of intraoperative digitalized phonocardiographic signals and their corresponding hemodynamic data before and after cardiovascular drug administration (ephedrine, esmolol, phenylephrine, and/or nicardipine) in 17 patients who underwent liver transplantation.

Objectives: As is true for all mechanical prostheses, bileaflet heart valves are prone to thrombus formation; reduced hemodynamic performance and embolic events can occur as a result. Prosthetic valve thrombosis affects the power spectra calculated from the phonocardiographic signals corresponding to prosthetic closing events. Artificial neural network-based classifiers are proposed for automatically and noninvasively assessing valve functionality and detecting thrombotic formations.
