This study aims to investigate arterial stiffness in selected young adults by non-invasively determining the characteristics of the photoplethysmographic dicrotic notch. A total of 15 volunteers participated in this study, divided into four groups by age and gender. Contour analysis was applied to analyse the photoplethysmographic dicrotic notch, including time-related and height-related parameters. The height of reflected wave, mirrored by the notch relative amplitude (NRA), was found to be significantly larger in the older group compared to the younger group (p = 0.016). The timing of the reflected wave, measured by three parameters, i.e. notch index (NI), notch latency (NL) and peak-to-notch latency (PTNL), significantly increased in the female group compared to the male group (all p < 0.02). The results confirm that arterial stiffness occurs in young adults, and demonstrate that a difference of arterial stiffness exists between young male and female. This study indicates that examining the characteristic notch of the PPG pulse could help in identifying differences of vascular activities.

Background: Due to their invasiveness, arterial lines are not typically used in routine monitoring, despite their superior responsiveness in hemodynamic monitoring and detecting intraoperative hypotension. To address this issue, noninvasive, continuous arterial pressure monitoring is necessary. We developed a deep-learning model that reconstructs continuous mean arterial pressure (MAP) using the photoplethysmograhy (PPG) signal and compared it to the arterial line gold standard.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a new non-invasive method for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with liver diseases and hepatic encephalopathy (HE), aiming to provide an alternative to invasive techniques.
- It uses a specific equipment, Brain4Care® BWS, to analyze ICP pulse morphology and correlates it with clinical signs of HE, focusing on key peaks that indicate intracranial compliance.
- Results show significant differences in ICP patterns between patients with and without HE, highlighting the method's potential for effective monitoring and assessment in clinical settings.

Wearable, flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors have garnered substantial interest due to their diverse applications in fields such as electronic skin, robotic limbs, and cardiovascular monitoring. Among these applications, arterial full pulse waveform monitoring stands out as a critical area of research. The emergence of piezoresistive pressure sensors as a prominent tool for capturing pulse waveforms has led to extensive investigations.

Introduction: Timely identification of the need for lifesaving intervention in battlefield conditions may be improved through automated monitoring of the injured warfighter. Technologies that combine maximal noninvasive insight with minimal equipment footprint give the greatest opportunity for deployment at scale with inexperienced providers in forward areas. Finger photoplethysmography (PPG) signatures are associated with impending hemorrhagic shock but may be insufficient alone.

Coronary microvascular vasodilator capacity is substantially associated with coronary pressure waveform and dicrotic notch morphology, with or without concomitant epicardial disease. A prominent dicrotic notch is associated with preserved microvascular vasodilatory capacity and adequate resting microvascular tonus without relative hyperaemic state, cumulatively indicating a better microcirculatory health.
