  • The text discusses the critical role of technology in healthcare, particularly in improving the quality of life for individuals with medium health risks who require monitoring.
  • It emphasizes the need for an effective and cost-efficient solution for real-time monitoring, highlighting the potential of wearable technology to track ECG signals.
  • The proposed system introduces a novel emergency response feature that alerts local healthcare workers when Sudden Cardiac Death is predicted, filling a significant gap in current research.

Article Abstract

The use of technology in healthcare is one of the most critical application areas today. With the development of medical applications, people's quality of life has improved. However, it is impractical and unnecessary for medium-risk people to receive specialized daily hospital monitoring. Due to their health status, they will be exposed to a high risk of severe health damage or even life-threatening conditions without monitoring. Therefore, remote, real-time, low-cost, wearable, and effective monitoring is ideal for this problem. Many researchers mentioned that their studies could use electrocardiogram (ECG) detection to discover emergencies. However, how to respond to discovered emergencies in household life is still a research gap in this field.•This paper proposes a real-time monitoring of ECG signals and sending them to the cloud for Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) prediction.•Unlike previous studies, the proposed system has an additional emergency response mechanism to alert nearby community healthcare workers when SCD is predicted to occur.

Tissue growth is controlled by various signaling pathways, such as the insulin/IGF-signaling (IIS) pathway. Although IIS activation is regulated by a complex regulatory network, the mechanism underlying miRNA-based regulation of the IIS pathway in wing development remains unclear. In this study, we found that the wing size of adult flies was negatively affected by miR-263b expression.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a well-known pro-inflammatory cytokine originally recognized for its ability to induce apoptosis and cell death. However, recent research has revealed that TNF-α also plays a crucial role as a mediator of cell survival, influencing a wide range of cellular functions. The signaling of TNF-α is mediated through two distinct receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, which trigger various intracellular pathways, including NF-κB, JNK, and caspase signaling cascades.

Risk Factors for Infection-Attributable Mortality in Patients With Bacteremia: A Competing Risk Analysis.

Open Forum Infect Dis

January 2025

Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Background: Identifying risk factors for mortality in patients with bacteremia (SAB) is crucial due to its high fatality. However, data on risk factors for infection-attributable deaths considering competing risk events such as non-infection-attributable deaths remain limited. We performed a competing risk analysis to elucidate risk factors associated with 30-day infection-attributable mortality in a large cohort of patients with SAB.

  • The study investigates the "obesity paradox," focusing on overweight and obese patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease.
  • Over a follow-up period averaging about 65 months, results showed that 17.4% of patients experienced adverse cardiovascular events, with a notable J-shaped relationship indicating that those classified as overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m) had lower risks of total and major cardiovascular events.
  • The findings suggest that overweight individuals may have better cardiovascular outcomes post-PCI compared to those with a normal BMI.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas and a complex process involving multiple factors, with mitochondrial damage playing a crucial role. Mitochondrial dysfunction is now considered a key driver in the development of AP. This dysfunction often presents as increased oxidative stress, altered membrane potential and permeability, and mitochondrial DNA damage and mutations.
