Heart sound and its recorded signal which is known as phonocardiograph (PCG) are one of the most important biosignals that can be used to diagnose cardiac diseases alongside electrocardiogram (ECG). Over the past few years, the use of PCG signals has become more widespread and researchers pay their attention to it and aim to provide an automated heart sound analysis and classification system that supports medical professionals in their decision. In this paper, a new method for heart sound features extraction for the classification of non-segmented signals using instantaneous frequency was proposed. The method has two major phases: the first phase is to estimate the instantaneous frequency of the recorded signal; the second phase is to extract a set of eleven features from the estimated instantaneous frequency. The method was tested into two different datasets, one for binary classification (Normal and Abnormal) and the other for multi-classification (Five Classes) to ensure the robustness of the extracted features. The overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision for binary classification and multi-classification were all above 95% using both random forest and KNN classifiers.

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has underscored the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods, particularly in ensuring the safety of healthcare workers and patients during infectious outbreaks. Smartphone-based digital stethoscopes enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged as potential tools for addressing these challenges by enabling remote, efficient, and accessible auscultation. Despite advancements, most existing systems depend on additional hardware and external processing, increasing costs and complicating deployment.

Historically, the paradigm for all maladies was associated with an imbalance of the 4 humors: blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm. Although our understanding of disease has evolved significantly since the time of Hippocrates, a similar cornerstone of inpatient and ambulatory care involves understanding and correcting imbalances of volume. The kidneys are the principal organs controlling extracellular volume, capable of both sensing and altering salt retention through multiple redundant pathways, including the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Objectives: To evaluate the role of the TYTOCARE™ telemedicine programme for home telemonitoring during the early postoperative period following radical cystectomy (RC) in a prospective single-centre study.
Materials And Methods: The study included patients aged <80 years with internet access who underwent RC at our institution between March 2021 and August 2023. Upon discharge, patients were monitored at home using the TYTOCARE™ telemedicine system.
Reallocating Time Between 24-h Movement Behaviors for Obesity Management Across the Lifespan: A Pooled Data Meta-Analysis of More Than 9800 Participants from Seven Countries.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how reallocating time among physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep affects obesity indicators like BMI and waist circumference across various age groups.
- Researchers analyzed data from 9,818 participants using isotemporal substitution models to understand the implications of these behavior changes.
- Results indicated that even small shifts of 10-30 minutes can significantly impact obesity, with reallocating moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) to lighter activities or sedentary behavior having particularly detrimental effects.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to the loss of urinary sensation, making urination difficult. In a previous experiment involving six healthy participants, we measured heartbeat-induced acoustic pulse waves (HAPWs) at the mid-back, calculated time-series power spectra of heart rate gradients at three ultralow/very low frequencies, distinguished and formulated waveform characteristics (one characteristic for each power spectrum, nearly uniform across participants) at times of increased urine in the bladder and heightened urges to urinate, and developed an algorithm with five of these power spectra to identify when urination is needed by extracting the waveform portion (continuous timepoints) where all of the characteristics were consistent with the formulated characteristics. The objective of this study was to verify the validity of the algorithm fed with data from measured HAPW of participants with SCI and to adapt the algorithm for these individuals.
