Heart-rate variability (HRV) analyzed by detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), which resulted in a short-term fractal exponent - alpha, has prognostic implication in chronic phase of heart failure and survivors of myocardial infarction. We adopted DFA to study the acute-phase HRV in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) by recruiting 30 age- and co-morbidity-matched adults in acute-stress simulation in comparison with 33 consecutive ACS patients. The 30 volunteers got stepwise elevated alpha with increased intensity of exercise (0.95+/-0.050 to 1.07+/-0.084 to 1.20+/-0.083, p<0.05). The alpha of 33 ACS patients correlated with the complexity of post-MI course (1.004+/-0.0080 in non-complicated vs. 1.216+/-0.058 in complicated p<0.05). No significance existed in categories of age, ACS type, numbers of diseased vessel, infarct-related artery or Killip classification. The increased alpha value of DFA may imply unresolved cardiac stress which demands further attention.

The diagnostic and prognostic value of quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) in the the onset of postoperative delirium (POD) remains an area of inquiry. We aim to determine whether qEEG could assist in the diagnosis of early POD in cardiac surgery patients. We prospectively studied a cohort of cardiac surgery patients undergoing qEEG for evaluation of altered mental status.

The attractor complexity index (ACI) is a recently developed gait analysis tool based on nonlinear dynamics. This study assesses ACI's sensitivity to attentional demands in gait control and its potential for characterizing age-related changes in gait patterns. Furthermore, we compare ACI with classical gait metrics to determine its efficacy relative to established methods.

Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, and this study explores diagnosing it through fractal features from nocturnal breathing signals.
- The research involved 49 PD patients, 49 healthy individuals, and 49 others with different diseases, using multifractal analysis to extract relevant data for diagnosis.
- The findings highlight eight key fractal features with strong diagnostic potential, achieving an impressive area under the curve (AUC) of 0.911 in training and 0.929 in testing, suggesting improved accuracy for PD diagnosis in clinical settings.

Background: Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) present progressive deterioration in both motor and non-motor manifestations. However, the absence of clinical biomarkers for disease progression hinders clinicians from tailoring treatment strategies effectively.
Objectives: To identify electroencephalography (EEG) biomarker that can track disease progression in PD.
