Blind Source Separation (BSS) techniques are frequently needed in the processing of biomedical signals. This need comes from the fact that these signals are often composed of many different sources, which are mixed in the measured signal. However, we are usually only interested in examining one or a limited set of sources of interest separately. A variety of algorithms exist for separating multichannel mixtures into its independent sources (e.g. different Independent Component Analysis (ICA) techniques). These techniques only work if the number of channels is larger than, or equal to the number of sources present in the signal. On the other hand, only a few algorithms have been reported for the analysis of single channel sources, or other mixtures where the number of sources is higher than the number of channels. In this work we show a new technique which combines Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA). We will show that this technique is capable in separating independent sources when the number of these sources is higher than the number of channels available. We show the performance in single channel and two-channel biosignal processing.

Background: Postdischarge contacts (PDCs) after hospitalization are common practice, but their effectiveness in reducing use of acute care after discharge remains unclear.
Purpose: To assess the effects of PDC on 30-day emergency department (ED) visits, 30-day hospital readmissions, and patient satisfaction.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL searched from 2012 to 25 May 2023.

Background: Lack of access to reliable transportation is a barrier to utilizing healthcare and other resources related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Little research has evaluated race/ethnicity-based differences in access to reliable transportation among persons with T2DM.
Purpose: To examine whether access to reliable transportation for persons with T2DM differed by race/ethnicity.
Background And Aims: The importance of risk stratification in patients with chest pain extends beyond diagnosis and immediate treatment. This study sought to evaluate the prognostic value of electrocardiogram feature-based machine learning models to risk-stratify all-cause mortality in those with chest pain.
Methods: This was a prospective observational cohort study of consecutive, non-traumatic patients with chest pain.

Objective: To assess whether individual diagnosis of low urinary iodine concentration (UIC) in pregnant women is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: Studies that compared pregnant women with UIC <150 μg/L and those with UIC 150-249 μg/L were systematically reviewed. MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, and CENTRAL were our source databases.
