Background: Surgical stress affects the autonomic nervous system by increasing sympathetic outflow. One method of monitoring sympathetic activity is pulse photoplethysmographic analysis. From this two indices can be derived - autonomic nervous system state (ANSS) and ANSS index (ANSSi). It has recently been claimed that these indices can be used to measure sympathetic activity in anaesthetised patients, but their validity has not yet been demonstrated.
Objective: To measure changes in pulse photoplethysmographic indices and determine any agreement with autonomic nervous system modulation of the cardiovascular system in healthy study participants during surgery under general anaesthesia.
Design: Prospective observational study.
Setting: Single-centre study based at a tertiary care centre in Milan, Italy.
Patients: Healthy patients undergoing general anaesthesia for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Interventions: ANSS, ANSSi, and heart rate variability (HRV) were analysed at three main times: baseline, after induction of general anaesthesia, and after pneumoperitoneum insufflation.
Main Outcome Measures: The magnitude of changes in photoplethysmographic and HRV indices was measured. The agreement between pulse photoplethysmographic and HRV-derived indices was assessed by Bland-Altman plots.
Results: In total, 52 patients were enrolled and their data analysed. Both pulse photoplethysmographic and HRV indices changed during the study phases. An agreement was found between ANSSi and low frequency spectral components of HRV [bias 10.2nu, 95% confidence interval (CI) -13 to 33.4], high frequency spectral components of HRV (bias 6.1 nu, 95% CI -16.3 to 28.6), and low frequency/high frequency ratio (bias 16.1nu, 95% CI -1.4 to 33.5). The agreement was weaker between ANSSI and HRV indices.
Conclusion: The study endorses the use of pulse photoplethysmographic indices ANSS and ANSSi as surrogates to estimate changes of autonomic modulation of the cardiovascular system in healthy adults during surgery under general anaesthesia.Orcid ID: orcid.org/0000-0002-9616-803X.

Significance: Pulse oximeter measurements are commonly relied upon for managing patient care and thus often require human testing before they can be legally marketed. Recent clinical studies have also identified disparities in their measurement of blood oxygen saturation by race or skin pigmentation.
Aim: The development of a reliable bench-top performance test method based on tissue-simulating phantoms has the potential to facilitate pre-market assessment and the development of more accurate and equitable devices.
In the early stages of atrial fibrillation (AF), most cases are paroxysmal (pAF), making identification only possible with continuous and prolonged monitoring. With the advent of wearables, smartwatches equipped with photoplethysmographic (PPG) sensors are an ideal approach for continuous monitoring of pAF. There have been numerous studies demonstrating successful capture of pAF events, especially using deep learning.

Purpose: Research on rare diseases and atypical health care demographics is often slowed by high interparticipant heterogeneity and overall scarcity of data. Synthetic data (SD) have been proposed as means for data sharing, enlargement, and diversification, by artificially generating real phenomena while obscuring the real patient data. The utility of SD is actively scrutinized in health care research, but the role of sample size for actionability of SD is insufficiently explored.

Two-dimensional (2D) MXenes have emerged as promising candidates to serve as Schottky contact electrodes for the development of high-performance photodiodes owing to their extraordinary electronic properties. However, it remains a formidable challenge to fabricate a large-area, uniform MXene layer for practical device application. Here, we develop a facile route to produce a large-area TiCT layer by post-etching treatment of a pulsed laser-deposited TiAlC film, enabling the construction of a back-illuminated TiCT/n-Si Schottky-barrier photodiode.

Introduction Photoplethysmography (PPG) measures are important in monitoring peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO). Another parameter is a derived quantity referred to as the peripheral perfusion index (PPI). It is calculated as the ratio of the peak-to-peak pulse amplitude of a PPG signal (PA) to the non-pulsating part of the total PPG signal.
