<span lang="EN-US">This work proposes a computational algorithm which extracts the frequency, timings and signal segments corresponding to respiratory phases, through buccal nasal acoustic processing. The proposal offers solution for medical applications require on-site or remote patient monitoring evaluation of pulmonary pathologies, such as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). state art p...

The alarm blares. In less than a moment, my brain — long since trained by habit into rapid rebooting — is alert and active. Unconsciously, I ready myself, donning my white coat. Stethoscope, pens, copies of patient notes, and other loose papers all begin to clutter my pockets. As I arrive at the hospital, I scurry to see all my patients before the appointed hour. I try to repress the numbing fe...

Let’s make it clear: STH is not old-fashioned, CSAVE is not Jurassic, and the stethoscope is not a piece that is missing from the museum. Being a vassal of sovereign clinics, the members of STH believe in the permanence of the stethoscope and in the strong integrating power of the starting point of CSAVE, with the other findings from the multisensorial physical examination, scientific concepts ...

Heart rate (HR) is arguably one of the most often measured physiological responses in relation to physical fitness or health. HR measured at rest, during submaximal exercise, at maximal exercise and during recovery can provide some level of assessment of fitness and health. In the past, HR was most often measured from manual palpitation of a pulse (palpation), using a stethoscope (auscultation)...

Developing countries like India, where doctor to patient ratio is around 1:1700, as large number of population lives in villages and remotely located area. Health check-up of such a large population is very challenging for their government due to less number of qualified doctors, highly qualified doctor refuges to work in villages and remotely placed areas. This paper proposes a new idea by whi...

Friedman and his associates' have suggested their clinical oscillometer as a device for the determination of indirect blood pressure values in laboratory animals. The instrument has been used during the past year in this laboratory to follow pressure variations in more than 200 dogs. As the method has proved reliable and practical, a re-statement of its principle, together with a brief consider...

INTRODUCTION In Nepal, various field programs such as community diagnosis programmes (CDP) have been initiated to make the education of doctors, nurses and dentists more community oriented and relevant and suited to the health care scenario. Community diagnosis refers to the identification and quantification of the health problems in a community and identification of their correlates for the pu...

From Laennec's invention of the stethoscope in 1816 to the recently introduced Sapien transcatheter aortic valve replacement, the increasing complexity of health care technology has altered the relationship between patients and physicians, usually for the better. Telemedicine, the provision of medical services through electronic media, has dramatically changed how the patient and physician inte...
