Significant Prolongation of QTc-Interval in Overweight-Obese Hypertensive Patients Does Not Relate to the Obesity as a Risk Factor
Abstract: The duration of QT interval in the electrocardiograph record represents the ventricular repolarization. It is prolonged in women, ageing and using certain medications. In hypertensive patients, prolongation of QT interval is associated with cardiac risk factors and/or the complications of hypertension. This study aimed to measure the uncorrected (QT) and corrected (QTc) intervals using different formulas in overweight-obese patients with chronic hypertension. A total number of 25 healthy subjects and …

Harmonic Analysis of Arterial Blood Pressure Signal Using Fourier Decomposition for Autonomic Health Assessment
Abstract: AbstractIn the present study, the arterial blood pressure waveform is decomposed utilizing Fourier to examine the fundamental frequency and to build up a linkage for autonomic health assessment. This methodology will produce practically identical fundamental frequency, either utilizing noninvasively recorded photoplethysmogram (PPG) or the blood pressure signal. In order to normalize the both, signal PPG waveform is approximated to arterial blood pressure waveform by nonlinear fitting blood pressure values to …

Microalbuminuria as an Independent Screening Tool in Patients with Myocardial Infarction
Abstract: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is a condition in which there is an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to a portion of myocardium; most common cause being atherosclerosis of coronary vessels. Microalbuminuria (MAU) is defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) of 30–300 mg/g. It is considered as marker of generalized endothelial dysfunction and vasculopathy and suggested to contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic lesion and ultimately leading to risk of …

An Immunohistochemical Study to Assess the Role of Myofibroblasts in Diagnosing and Predicting the Outcome of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Abstract: Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for approximately 94% of all oral malignancies, hence establishing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) as one of the top 10 most prevalent malignant tumors. Cells with several functions, such as macrophages and myofibroblasts, play a vital role in the biological behavior of tumors. This study aimed to assess and evaluate the prevalence of myofibroblasts (MF) and macrophages in SCCs occurring in the oral region. …

Power Spectral Study of Heart Rate Variability Time Series by the Adaptive Modified Continuous Morlet Wavelet Transform
Abstract: In this paper, a newly developed method referred as adaptive modified continuous Morlet wavelet transform has been proposed to improve the energy concentration in the time-frequency domain. The improvement is achieved by introducing the shape parameter to the Morlet function that is known as modified Morlet function. To make it adaptive, the modified Morlet function was optimized by concentration measure based on automatic determination algorithm. The proposed method was validated …
