Objective. This study is performed to obtain objective diagnostic indicators associated with menstrual pain using pulse wave analysis. Methods. Using a pulse diagnostic device, we measured the pulse waves of 541 women aged between 19 and 30 years, placed in either an experimental group with menstrual pain (n = 329) or a control group with little or no menstrual pain (n = 212). Measurements were...

Impact of Radial Artery Pressure Waveform Calibration on Estimated Central Pressure Using a Transfer Function Approach To the Editor: It is with great interest that we have read the excellent work of McEniery et al1 on the variability of the relation between central and brachial pulse pressure (pressure amplification), assessed in 10 000 subjects. We were, however, a little surprised about the ...

Risk factors for cardiovascular disease mediate their effects by altering the structure, properties, and function of wall and endothelial components of arterial blood vessels.1 The ability to detect and monitor change in the physical properties of arteries, representative of the cumulative and integrated influence of hemodynamic, metabolic, and inflammatory stimuli in impairing arterial wall in...

The notion of the nth order local energy, generated by power Hamiltonian, has been introduced. two-particle coalescence conditions have derived from requirements that energy at point is non-singular and equal to Hamiltonian eigenvalue. first condition leads energy-independent constraints. second one state-specific. analysis done using a radial, one-dimensional, model Hamiltonian. valid in asymp...

Variational Fermi HNC calculations are performed for spin-polarized 3 ~ e liquid at zero temperature. The trial wave function is optimized by solving an Euler-Lagrange equation in the Fermi HNC approximation. Results for liquid structure function and one-particle momentum distribution are compared with the corresponding quantities of the spin-saturated liquid. In this report we present results ...

The purpose of this article was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of radial and focused shock wave therapies applied to treat tennis elbow. Patients with tennis elbow were randomized into two comparative groups: focused shock wave therapy (FSWT; n=25) and radial shock wave therapy (RSWT; n=25). Subjects in the FSWT and RSWT groups were applied with a focused shock wave (3 sessions, 2000 shoc...

The advocated SphygmoCor procedure uses a radial-to-aorta transfer function with calibration on brachial instead of radial artery pressure to assess the central pulse pressure. We compared these values with carotid artery pulse pressures obtained from a validated calibration method, assuming mean minus diastolic blood pressure constant throughout the large artery tree. From 44 healthy subjects ...

A connectionist model made up of a combination of RBF networks is proposed the model decomposes multivalued dependencies into local single valued functions theory and applications are presented
