This study proposes a Semi-Classical Signal Analysis (SCSA) method for stroke volume (SV) variations assessment from arterial blood pressure measurements. One of the SCSA parameters, the first systolic invariant (INVS₁), has been shown to be linearly related to SV. To technically validate this approach, the comparison between INVS₁ and SV measured with the currently used PiCCO technique was performed during a 15-min recording in 20 mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care. A strong correlation was estimated by linear regression and cross-correlation analysis (mean coefficient = 0.90 ± 0.01 SEM at the two tests).

Recent studies and suggest that flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) on its own might be able to act as a biological magnetic field sensor. Motivated by these observations, in this study, we develop a detailed quantum theoretical model for the radical pair mechanism (RPM) for the flavin adenine biradical within the FAD molecule. We use the results of existing molecular dynamics simulations to determine the time-varying distance between the radicals on FAD, which we then feed into a quantum master equation treatment of the RPM.

Epilepsy is a common brain disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures which affects over 65 million people. Visual inspection of Electroencephalograms (EEG) is common for diagnosis; however, it requires time and expertise. Therefore, an accurate computer-aided epileptic seizure diagnosis system would be valuable.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures that vary from short attention failure to convulsions. Despite its threats and limitations, existing medications target only specific types of seizures while up to 33% of epileptic conditions are drug-resistant. The best available treatment is surgical resection or neurostimulation and both require accurate localization of the Seizure Onset Zone.

The presented study estimates cuff-less blood pressure (BP) from photoplethysmography (PPG) signals using multiple machine-learning (ML) models and the semi-classical signal analysis (SCSA) technique. The study proposes a novel signal reconstruction algorithm, which optimizes the semi-classical constant of the SCSA approach and eliminates the trade-off between complexity and accuracy during signal reconstruction. It predicts BP values using regression algorithms by processing reconstructed PPG signals' spectral features, extracting clinically relevant PPG and its second derivative's (SDPPG) morphological features.

Carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is considered a critical index to evaluate arterial stiffness. For this reason, estimating Carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is essential for diagnosing and analyzing different cardiovascular diseases. Despite its broader adoption in the clinical routine, the measurement process of carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity is considered a demanding task for clinicians and patients making it prone to inaccuracies and errors in the estimation.
