Human Deep Skin Surface Vibration Frequency Detection from CT and DT Signals Using Genetic Algorithms
Abstract: To diagnose respiratory problems early on, a contactless, non-invasive, real-time assessment of human vibration is a crucial prerequisite. Optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP) and the forced oscillation technique (FOT), are two widely utilized methodologies, depending on variations in each patient’s local chest impedance. Calibration of the devices before each measurement is hence the primary problem of these approaches. This report presents a simulation-based analysis to assess the effectiveness of the CT and …

Platelets A Tiny Cell Fragments
Abstract: Platelets are disc-shaped, anucleate cells that are approximately 2-3 μm in diameter. Their primary function is to control hemostasis, or blood clotting, but they also play important roles in angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and innate immunity (the body's first line of defence against infection). With a diameter of just 2-3 microns, platelets are tiny, disc-shaped cells that lack a nucleus. While their main responsibility is to ensure …
