Objective: Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are recognized to have a pivotal role in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we assessed the vascular function of women with RPL and examined the association with each type of aPL.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 569 women with RPL and 55 healthy women who had never experienced pregnancy loss were recruited.
Objective: Infrared Thermography (IRT) has been used to monitor skin temperature variation in a contactless manner, in both clinical medicine and psychophysiology. Here, we introduce a new methodology to obtain information about autonomic correlates related to perspiration, peripheral vasomotility, and respiration from infrared recordings.
Methods: Our approach involves a model-based decomposition of facial thermograms using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and an ad-hoc preprocessing procedure.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a global health problem affecting approximately 4.4 million individuals yearly. OHCA has a poor survival rate, specifically when unwitnessed (accounting for up to 75% of cases).

Background & Objectives: Measurement of blood pressure (BP) in ambulatory patients is crucial for at high-risk cardiovascular patients. A non-obtrusive, non-occluding device that continuously measures BP via photoplethysmography will enable long-term ambulatory assessment of BP. The aim of this study is to validate the metasense 2PPG cuffless wearable design for continuous BP estimation without ECG.

Background: Dengue epidemics impose considerable strain on healthcare resources. Real-time continuous and non-invasive monitoring of patients admitted to the hospital could lead to improved care and outcomes. We evaluated the performance of a commercially available wearable (SmartCare) utilising photoplethysmography (PPG) to stratify clinical risk for a cohort of hospitalised patients with dengue in Vietnam.
