Analyzing the acceleration photoplethysmogram (APG) is becoming increasingly important for diagnosis. However, processing an APG signal is challenging, especially if the goal is to detect its small components (c, d, and e waves). Accurate detection of c, d, and e waves is an important first step for any clinical analysis of APG signals. In this paper, a novel algorithm that can detect c, d, and...

The middle phase microemulsions of alkyl polyglucosides (APG) C8G1.46, C10G1.46, C12G1.46, C8/10G1.31 and C12/14G1.43 have been studied with the alcohol concentration scanning phase diagram. The results show that in the quaternary system of APG/alcohol/alkane/water, the increase in the alcohol concentration causes a series of phase inversion Winsor I (2) → III(3) →II( 2 ). The order of the alco...

introduction: a large number of software programs have been used in dentistry for diagnosis and treatment planning to date. however, due to promotion of programming languages and developments in dental sciences, it is necessary to develop and update these softwares. use of softwares for treatment planning for removable partial dentures has been popular for some time and always new softwares hav...

BACKGROUND hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third cause of mortality due to cancer throughout the world. OBJECTIVE The main goal of the current research was to evaluate the selective toxicity of apigenin (APG) on hepatocytes and mitochondria obtained from the liver of HCC rats). METHOD In this research, HCC induced by a single dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN); 200 mg/kg, i.p, and 2-ace...

Local collision avoidance is an important problem that must be solved for safe autonomous flight of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In order to successfully find a solution to this problem, an elaborate literature survey has been conducted. This survey of literature led to a fairly thorough understanding of the state-of-art techniques in the areas of path planning and collision avoidance of UA...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that fasciotomy may impair the function of the calf muscle pump, which in turn could result in the development of chronic venous insufficiency. DESIGN A cohort study of patients with a history of lower extremity fasciotomy. SETTING An urban trauma center. PATIENTS Seventeen of the 83 patients identified through trauma, vascular, and/or orthopedic registrie...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The admission plasma glucose (APG) level is a recognized prognostic factor in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, little is known about the prognostic value of the first fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurement. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of the first FPG measurement relative to that of the APG level in patients with...
