The development of an active implantable device for measuring electrocardiogram (ECG) is presented. The study is a part of a project which aims at developing implantable ECG instrumentation with wireless data and power transfer ( http://www.ele.tut.fi/tule ). The developed implant presented here has all the measurement electronics as well as power and data communication instrumentation included. The implant itself contains no battery, while power for the implant is transferred electromagnetically from an external reader device. The results of testing the implant attached on the body surface and in vitro in a water container are also presented. The developed system was also successfully tested in in vivo measurements, which were conducted on four cows with an implantation time of 24 h. The in vivo testing of implant in cows was conducted by a veterinarian in supervised conditions under approved animal experiment licence.

To assess the effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on electrocardiographic remodeling in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), and identify its influencing factors. A cohort study was conducted on patients with a confirmed diagnosis of severe AS who successfully underwent TAVR at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between June 2018 and March 2023. Data, including standard 15-lead electrocardiograms and echocardiograms, were collected before the operation, 1 week after the operation, and 3 months after the operation.

This paper reviews the literature on assessing electrical dyssynchrony for patient selection in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The guideline-recommended electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for CRT are QRS duration and morphology, established through inclusion criteria in large CRT trials. However, both QRS duration and LBBB morphology have their shortcomings.

Studies on the compounds of aromatic oils and their effects on psychophysiological changes in humans are often conducted separately. To obtain better validation, a suitable protocol is needed that can be extrapolated to large-scale olfactory stimulation experiments. Unfortunately, this type of study is still rarely performed.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mortality and the frontal QRS-T angle (FQRS-TA), obtained by calculating the absolute difference between the QRS and T waves electrocardiographically (ECG), in patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke (IS).
Methods: This research is a retrospective and cross-sectional study. The diagnosis of IS was confirmed through brain imaging and physical examination.

With the increasing complexity of urban roads and rising traffic flow, traffic safety has become a critical societal concern. Current research primarily addresses drivers' attention, reaction speed, and perceptual abilities, but comprehensive assessments of cognitive abilities in complex traffic environments are lacking. This study, grounded in cognitive science and neuropsychology, identifies and quantitatively evaluates ten cognitive components related to driving decision-making, execution, and psychological states by analyzing video footage of drivers' actions.
