Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a powerful tool to detect cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and health conditions. We proposed a new method for evaluating ECG for efficient medical diagnosis in daily life. By splitting the signal according to the cardiac activity cycle, the periodic split attractor reconstruction (PSAR) method is proposed with time embedding, including three types of splitting methods to show its chaotic domain characteristics. We merged the CVDs dataset and the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) first-lead ECG signal dataset to validate the performance of PSAR for diagnosis and health monitoring using PSAR density maps as SE-ResNet input features. PSAR under 3 split methods showed different sensitivities for different CVDs. While in OSAS monitoring, PSAR showed good ability to recognize sleep abnormalities.

The emergence of East Asian spring ephemerals and the unique ecosystem can be attributed primarily to vicariance, brought about by the Quaternary rifting of the Okinawa Trough, the formation of the East China Sea, and the isolation of the island chains of Ryukyu, Japan, and Taiwan from the Asian continent. The northern forests of Japan, dominated by and the associated , present a captivating display of spring-flowering ephemerals, including , , , and . Among these, is also considered part of the spring ephemerals.

Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) is characterized by the persistence of one or more symptoms after the acute phase, leading to physical disabilities. This study aims to investigate whether the functional capacity and respiratory function 120 days post-COVID-19 differed according to the level of respiratory support needed during hospitalization in acute COVID-19 in the pre-vaccine rollout period. We followed up with 118 COVID-19 hospitalized patients in the acute phase until 120 days post-acute disease, with patients split into a Non-Invasive Oxygen Therapy Group (OTG, n = 72), Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Group (IMV, n = 12), and Room Air Group (RAG, n = 34), assessing the body composition, respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional capacity, and muscle strength at the follow-up visit.

: Our study describes hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as an additional therapy in the conservative treatment of Crohn's disease (CD) and its benefit in the early postoperative period to prevent surgical complications and improve gastrointestinal motility. : This retrospective study evaluated HBOT in patients hospitalized at the Clinical Hospital Center Split for complications of CD between 2015 and 2020. Patients (N = 61) aged 19 to 67 with perianal fistulas, abscesses, fistulas, obstruction, stenosis, or bleeding were included, excluding those with ulcerative colitis or requiring intensive care.

This investigation focused on the influence of collagen on the integrity of the Schneiderian membrane during maxillary sinus augmentation in a rabbit model. The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship between membrane integrity and bone regeneration in augmented maxillary sinuses using collagenated and non-collagenated grafts, through detailed histological and histomorphometric analyses. In this forward-looking, randomized, split-mouth design, bilateral maxillary sinus augmentation was conducted on 12 rabbits.
