: Contactless monitoring of instantaneous heart rate and respiration rate has a significant clinical relevance. This work aims to use Speckle Vibrometry (i.e., based on the secondary laser speckle effect) to contactlessly measure these two vital signs in an intensive care unit. : In this work, we propose an algorithm for the estimation of instantaneous heart rate and respiration rate from mechanically ventilated patients. The algorithm uses multiple regions, principal component analysis, and dominant angle analysis. A semi-automated peak detection method is implemented to precisely label the aortic valve opening peak within the cardiac waveform. : Compared with electrocardiography, the present work achieves limits of agreement of [-2.19, 1.73] beats per minute of instantaneous heart rate. The measurement spot is on the chest covered with two to three layers of duvet blankets. Compared with the airway flow signal measured by the mechanical ventilator, the present work achieves limits of agreement of [-0.68, 0.46] respirations per minute of instantaneous respiration rate. : These results showcased Speckle Vibrometry's potential in vital sign monitoring in a clinical setting. : This is the first human clinical study for Speckle Vibrometry.

Estimation of Central Aortic Pressure Waveforms by Combination of a Meta-Learning Neural Network and a Physics-Driven Method.
Int J Numer Method Biomed Eng

College of Chemistry and Life Science, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing, China.
The accurate non-invasive detection and estimation of central aortic pressure waveforms (CAPW) are crucial for reliable treatments of cardiovascular system diseases. But the accuracy and practicality of current estimation methods need to be improved. Our study combines a meta-learning neural network and a physics-driven method to accurately estimate CAPW based on personalized physiological indicators.

Background: Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) can produce effects similar to high-intensity exercise at lower intensities, making it a potentially more suitable method for older adults with sarcopenia. This study aims to determine the efficacy of the intervention on improving physical fitness in older adults with sarcopenia when blood flow restriction (BFR) and aerobic exercise (AE) are combined (BFR-AE) and to explore the related metabolic and signaling mechanisms.
Methods: This is a three-arm, parallel, randomized controlled trial.
Functional assessment of coronary artery disease in patients with severe aortic stenosis: a review.

A significant proportion of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD). The best way to treat these patients is contentious. Conventional assessments of ischaemia such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio are not validated in the context of severe AS despite having a Class I European Society of Cardiology indication in patients with isolated coronary disease.

Article Synopsis
- REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is linked to an increased risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and dementia, prompting a study of autonomic dysfunction in RBD patients.* -
- The study used advanced methods to analyze sleep patterns and heart rate variability, revealing that RBD patients generally experience lower heart rate variability and are more likely to transition to lighter sleep stages.* -
- Although RBD patients suffer from fragmented sleep and autonomic issues, those with Parkinson's displayed better sleep continuity, potentially due to relief from their PD symptoms during sleep.*
In silico analysis of ventricular action potential with a current-voltage-time representation: Thresholds, membrane resistance, repolarization reserve.

The waveform of ventricular action potential (AP) is a key determinant of the cardiac cycle, a marker of beating pathophysiology, and a target for anti-arrhythmic drug design. The information contained in the waveform, though, is limited to the actual dynamics of the AP under consideration. By measuring quasi-instantaneous current-voltage relationships during repolarization, I propose a three-dimensional representation of the ventricular AP which includes potential dynamic responses that the beat can show when electrically perturbed.
