Pulse01:16

Pulse

2.2K
When the heart pumps blood out, arterial elastic fibers play a crucial role in sustaining a high-pressure gradient. They expand to accommodate the received blood and then recoil - a process known as the pulse that can be either manually palpated or electronically quantified. Despite a reduction in its effect with increased distance from the heart, elements of the pulse's systolic and diastolic components persist, observable even at the arteriole level.
The pulse serves as a clinical...

Pulse01:05

Pulse

4.2K
The pulse is one of the most fundamental physiological indicators of the body's cardiovascular health. It is the rhythmic expansion and contraction of the arterial walls in response to the pressure generated by the heart's pumping action.
Pulse Rate and its Significance
Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls...

NMR Spectrometers: Radiofrequency Pulses and Pulse Sequences

1.8K
A pulse is a short burst of radio waves distributed over a range of frequencies that simultaneously excites all the nuclei in the sample. Upon passing a radio frequency pulse along the x-axis, the nuclei absorb energy corresponding to their Larmor frequencies and achieve resonance. This shifts the net magnetization vector from the z-axis toward the transverse plane. This angle of rotation of the magnetization vector, or the flip angle, is proportional to the duration and intensity of the pulse.

Pulse Oximetry01:24

Pulse Oximetry

1.4K
Pulse oximetry, or SpO2, is a non-invasive method for continuously monitoring arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). This procedure involves attaching a probe or sensor to the patient's fingertip, forehead, earlobe, or nose bridge. The sensor works by detecting changes in oxygen saturation levels through light signals generated by the oximeter and reflected by the pulsing blood under the probe.
Purpose
Average SpO2 values are greater than 95%. If the readings fall below 90%, it indicates that...

Regulation of Pulse01:20

Regulation of Pulse

2.3K
Pulse regulation involves physiological mechanisms that ensure adequate blood flow throughout the body. The heartbeat, regulated by the autonomic nervous system, is influenced by hormonal balance, physical activity, and emotional state.
2.3K
Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

1.4K
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Physiological Signal Analysis

Background:

  • Pulse diagnosis is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
  • Traditional pulse analysis relies on subjective tactile sensations.
  • Objective, quantitative methods are needed to enhance TCM diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new quantitative parameter, array pulse volume (APV), for multi-dimensional pulse diagram analysis.
  • To investigate the diagnostic capability of APV in differentiating key pulse types.

Main Methods:

  • Acquired pulse signals from 105 volunteers using a 3x4 channel array sensor at the Guan position.
  • Constructed 3D pulse diagrams and computed APV using a linear interpolation algorithm.
  • Analyzed APV differences between normal (NP), wiry (WP), and slippery (SP) pulses using ANOVA.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant differences in APV were found between wiry pulses and both normal pulses (P=0.048) and slippery pulses (P=0.049).
  • No significant APV difference was observed between normal and slippery pulses (P=0.75).
  • Coefficients of variation for APV were comparable across NP, WP, and SP.

Conclusions:

  • The novel APV parameter can effectively differentiate wiry pulses from normal and slippery pulses.
  • APV represents a valuable quantitative tool for the analysis of array pulse diagrams in TCM.
  • This study supports the integration of objective measurements into traditional pulse diagnosis.
