In this paper, we are focused on a mobile human emotion recognition system which is based on biosignal. Cardio signal is a proper bio-signal for emotion recognition and we use photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors to gather cardio signals. We mainly consider real-time heart rate variability (HRV) analysis which is essential to mobile emotion recognition. A mobile sensor module embedding a digital ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Assessment of adiposity using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been considered more advantageous in comparison to anthropometry for predicting cardio-metabolic risk in the older population, by virtue of its ability to distinguish total and regional fat. Nonetheless, there is increasing uncertainty regarding the relative superiority of DXA and little comparative dat...

BACKGROUND Cardio-metabolic risk factors are becoming more prevalent in children and adolescents. A lack of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) is an established determinant of cardio-metabolic risk factors in children and adolescents. Less is known about the relationship between sedentary behavior and cardio-metabolic health. Therefore, the objective was to examine the inde...

Dear Colleagues,   As Editor-In-Chief of Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine (JCTM), it is my pleasure to introduce this official quarterly publication of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, which is an international, peer-reviewed, and English language journal. Our aim is to publish high quality integrating clinical and experimental research in the following fields: Respiratory medici...

OBJECTIVES It is known that exercise induces cardio-respiratory autonomic modulation. The aim of this study was to assess the cardio-pulmonary fitness by ultra-short heart rate variability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study population was divided into 3 groups: Group-1 (n = 40) consisted of military sports man. Group-2 (n = 40) were healthy age-matched sedentary male subjects with normal body mass ...

OBJECTIVE Weight loss among metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individuals may be unnecessary or result in elevated cardio-metabolic risk. We studied the effects of exercise- or diet-induced weight loss on cardio-metabolic risk among MHO and metabolically abnormal obese (MAO) adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants were 63 MHO and 43 MAO adults who took part in 3 to 6 months of exerci...

"Cardiac and respiratory oscillations have been shown to interact with each other. This interaction could reflect autonomic nervous system functionality. Propofol-induced yawning during anesthesia induction seems to be associated with sympathetic activation. Presumptively, there is high linearity among interaction of different physiologic system behaviors. Recently, investigators used coher...

Cardio-renal syndrome is a commonly encountered problem in clinical practice. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood. The purpose of this article is to highlight the interaction between the cardiovascular system and the renal system and how their interaction results in the complex syndrome of cardio-renal dysfunction. Additionally, we outline the available therapeutic strategies to manage thi...
