Patients with arrhythmias would greatly benefit from daily ECG monitoring, both for diagnosis and therapy optimization. The aim of this study was to simulate several ECG monitoring strategies which could help in optimizing a home monitoring device. Simulations were performed using data from patients implanted with DDD-CLS pacemaker for Brady-Tachy Syndrome (Burden II Study). The data analysis was performed considering the mode switch list which includes date, time and duration of each mode switch episode. Starting from this database, daily monitoring strategies were simulated by varying the hour of beginning and the duration of each daily recording, and the number of monitoring consecutive days. The number of detected patients varies depending on the hour of the day when the monitoring starts, with peaks in the morning (9–10 A. M.). The lowest number of detected patients is obtained at late evening (10–11 P. M.). An optimized 2-hour monitoring for 60 consecutive days can detect almost 60% of patients experiencing AF episodes in the observational period compared with 10% and 35% of detected patients with AF episodes obtained using one-day and 7-days Holter monitoring, respectively.

For the detect and avoid operation in cognitive radio systems, there is often a requirement to rapidly acquire a pilot carrier in a large frequency uncertainty band. This paper presents a method for rapid pilot carrier acquisition with extremely low computational complexity. A low latency, iterative frequency estimation algorithm is introduced, which accurately determines the pilot carrier frequency and initializes a phase locked loop center frequency. The phase locked loop, with essentially no initial frequency error, is then able to rapidly acquire the pilot signal. Because a narrow band phase locked loop can be used, extremely good phase error tracking performance is achievable with small acquisition time.

Frequency agility is considered as an indispensable feature of next-generation wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which will have to cope with highly interfered environments due to the increasing diffusion of wireless devices operating in unlicensed bands. In this paper we investigate some design aspects related to spectrum sensing in “cognitive” WSNs, relating the duration of sensing time to the probability of error in channel selection and analyzing the tradeoff between sensing duration and average throughput. Results are based on a realistic model, consistent with previous experimental works and existing testbeds.

Feature detection of biomedical signals is crucial for deepening our knowledge of the physiological phenomena giving rise to them. To achieve this aim, even if many analytic approaches have been suggested only few are able to deal with signals whose features are time dependent, and to provide useful clinical information. In this work we use the wavelet analysis to extract peculiarities of the early response of the photoreceptoral human system, known as a-wave ERG-component. The analysis of the a-wave features is important since this component reflects the functional integrity of the two populations of photoreceptors, rods and cones whose activation dynamics are not well known. Moreover, in incipient photoreceptoral pathologies the eventual anomalies in a-wave are not always detectable with a naked eye analysis of the traces. We here propose the possibility to discriminate the pathologic from the healthy traces throughout the differentiation of their time-frequency characteristics, revealed by the wavelet analysis. The investigated pathologies are the Achromatopsia, a cone disease and the Congenital Stationary Night Blindness, a rod trouble. The results show that the number of stable frequencies present and their times of occurrence are indicative of the status of the retinal photoreceptors. In particular, in the pathological cases, the frequency components shift toward lower values and change their times of occurrence, with respect to healthy traces.

Cooperative spectrum sensing improves reliability and the detection performance of sensing. However, the fully cooperative scenario may not be realistic to assume in many cases. We consider a cognitive radio network with heavy traffic users and light traffic users and analyze their behavior towards sensing using the concept of mixed strategy Nash equilibrium. Further, we design a distributed game using evolutionary game theory such that as long as light traffic users are present, they share the sensing responsibility while heavy traffic users get a free ride. Finally, the evolution dynamics is shown to converge to the evolutionarily stable strategy for the case of multiple users.

The creation of smart spaces for remote healthcare monitoring is a very prominent example of patients' life improvement by healthcare ICT, eliminating in certain cases the need for hospitalization of patients that require monitoring. On the other hand, services as such create concerns and are characterized by implications with respect to personal privacy. In order to limit the disclosure and misuse of patients' personal data, this paper discusses the access control solution considered by the inCasa project for the enforcement of fair information practices in the context of remote healthcare monitoring.

This paper details the process of oral food challenges (‘allergy tests’) and steps followed to investigate whether automatic classification of the tests is possible. It has been observed by trained staff that the mood and physiological signals of a subject being tested for allergies can change during the test if they are sensitive to the allergen they are being tested against. Data from thirteen subjects was recorded, and thirteen features were extracted from each of these datasets. The changes in the features were then analysed over the course of each test. It was noted that when a subject failed the challenge, some of the features extracted from the ECG trace changed suddenly near the time that the test was stopped. Threshold classification was employed, and ROC curves were generated. Some features gave rise to ROC areas of over 0.97 on certain subjects. An average ROC area of 0.57 was computed over all subjects and all features due to wide inter subject variability.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common persistent cardiac arrhythmia. AF is also associated with extensive structural, contractile, and electrophysiological remodeling, which can sustain AF itself. The understanding of the molecular events of these remodeling processes is essential for the development of new targeted therapeutic interventions. In this paper microarray data related to permanent AF patients and controls were analyzed using the principal components extracted from a matrix having gene expression values as statistical units and patients as variables. The data were obtained from the public functional genomics data repository of the National Institute of Health (called Gene Expression Omnibus, GEO). Data from record #GSE2240 have been analyzed, consisting of samples of right atrial myocardium (appendage). Data were related to two Affymetrix platforms U133A and U133B. Right atrial appendages were obtained from 30 patients undergoing open heart surgery for valve repair or coronary artery bypass grafting. Of these, 10 patients had permanent AF and 20 patients had no history of AF. The differences in gene expression profiles between permanent AF patients and controls are related to a very small part of the data variability. However, the analysis of such a small difference in terms of factor loadings and scores, succeed in discriminating patients from controls and in offering a mechanistic view relating AF condition to both cardiac muscle organization and inflammatory processes.
心房颤动(AF)是最常见的持续性心律失常。房颤还与广泛的结构、收缩和电生理重构有关，这些重构可以维持房颤本身。了解这些重塑过程的分子事件对于开发新的靶向治疗干预措施至关重要。本文采用以基因表达值为统计单位，以患者为变量的矩阵提取主成分，对永久性房颤患者和对照组的微阵列数据进行分析。这些数据来自美国国立卫生研究院(National Institute of Health)的公共功能基因组数据库(称为Gene Expression Omnibus, GEO)。对记录#GSE2240的数据进行分析，包括右心房心肌(附件)样本。数据涉及两个Affymetrix平台U133A和U133B。从30例接受心脏直视手术或冠状动脉旁路移植术的患者中获得右心房附件。其中，10名患者患有永久性房颤，20名患者没有房颤病史。永久性房颤患者和对照组之间基因表达谱的差异与数据变异性的很小一部分有关。然而，就因子负荷和评分而言，分析如此微小的差异，成功地将患者与对照组区分开来，并提供了与心肌组织和炎症过程相关的AF状况的机制观点。

Our experimental campaign shows how a real-time location system based on Ultra Wide Band (UWB) impulses can be fruitfully used to collect cinematic parameters in order to define the health status of an athlete objectively. The Ubisense UWB system has been used to monitor the performance of a professional athlete during the recovering time after a surgery. The cinematic data has been processed in order to have all the performance comparable. This work demonstrates that the UWB localization can be efficiently used in order to show the increase in the muscular capacity and to measure it.

In this paper we propose a new approach to assign terminals to concentrators using a Hybrid Honey Bees Mating Optimisation algorithm. Honey Bees Mating Optimisation (HBMO) algorithm is a swarm-based optimisation algorithm, which simulates the mating process of real honey bees. We apply a hybridisation of HBMO to solve a combinatorial optimisation problem known as Terminal Assignment Problem (TAP). The purpose is to connect a given set of terminals to a given set of concentrators and minimise the link cost to form a communication network. The feasibility of Hybrid HBMO is demonstrated and compared with the solutions obtained by other algorithms from literature over different TAP instances.
