Automated Classification of Cardiac Arrhythmia using Short-Duration ECG Signals and Machine Learning.

Biomed Phys Eng Express

January 2025

Electronics and Communication Engineering, Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono Hills, Doimukh, ITANAGAR, Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, 791112, INDIA.

Accurate detection of cardiac arrhythmias is crucial for preventing premature deaths. The current study employs a dual-stage Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and a median filter to eliminate noise from ECG signals. Subsequently, ECG signals are segmented, and QRS regions are extracted for further preprocessing.

Analysis of Reddit Discussions on Motivational Factors for Physical Activity: Cross-Sectional Study.

J Med Internet Res

January 2025

Department of Health Promotion, School of Public Health, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Background: Despite the ample benefits of physical activity (PA), many individuals do not meet the minimum PA recommended by health organizations. Structured questionnaires and interviews are commonly used to study why individuals perform PA and their strategies to adhere to PA. However, certain biases are inherent to these tools that limit what can be concluded from their results.

Electropositive Magnetic Fluorescent Nanoprobe-Mediated Immunochromatographic Assay for the Ultrasensitive and Simultaneous Detection of Bacteria.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

January 2025

Department of Clinical Laboratory Medicine, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510000, China.

Immunochromatographic assays (ICAs) provide simple and rapid strategies for bacterial diagnosis but still suffer from the problems of low sensitivity and high dependency on paired antibodies. Herein, the broad-spectrum capture and detection capability of the antibody-free electropositive nanoprobe are clarified for bacteria for the first time and an ultrasensitive fluorescent ICA platform is constructed for the simultaneous diagnosis of multiple pathogens. A magnetic multilayer quantum dot nanocomposite with an amino-embedded SiO shell (MagMQD@Si) is designed to enrich bacteria from solutions effectively, offer high luminescence, and reduce background signals on test strips, thus greatly improving the sensitivity and stability of ICA technique for pathogen.
