T-wave alternans, a beat-to-beat re-polarization pattern variation phenomenon, plays an important role in sudden cardiac death prediction. The proposed method modifies the currently available Modified Moving Average Method (MMAM) by a multi-lead principal component analysis (PCA) approach. Application of PCA will concentrate the alternans effect, which is supposed to be distributed on multiple leads in a single derived lead. MMAM is applied to the derived lead and alternans magnitude is measured. Results are compared with MMAM, implemented by the authors and by an open source tool, TWAnalyser. The TWA Physionet/CinC 2008 Challenge Database is used for testing. Performances are measured in terms of root mean square error (rmse) and correlation coefficients. The rmse is highest for TWAnalyser results and lowest for the proposed method. While the correlation coefficient is highest for the proposed method, 0.88, that for normal MMAM is 0.73 and for TWAnalyser is 0.75. The proposed multi-lead PCA approach provides improved performance of current MMAM.

Ambient air pollution is an important contributor to increasing cases of lung cancer, which is a malignant cancer with the highest mortality among all cancers. It primarily manifests in the form of pulmonary nodules, but not all will develop into lung cancer. Therefore, it is highly desired to distinguish between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules for the early prevention and treatment of lung cancer.

Introduction: The metabolome of plants is influenced by various factors, especially environmental, as the season in which they are grown. So, distinct varieties of the identical plant might show an increase or decrease in metabolites. The diversity of content of primary and secondary metabolites can also determine the variation in their biological properties.

Neurovascular flow-diverting stents (FDSs) are revolutionizing the paradigm for treatment of intracranial aneurysms, but they still face great challenges like post- implantation acute thrombosis and delayed reendothelialization. Surface modification is of crucial relevance in addressing such key issues. In this study, we fabricated an ultrathin nanocoating out of copper (II) together with protocatechuic acid (PCA) and nattokinase (NK) bioactive molecules on NiTi FDSs via a coordination chemistry approach, with favorable biophysiochemical interactions, to fulfill this goal.
