Amyloid Fibrils

11.7K
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins.  Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils. 
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen.   In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...

Probability in Statistics

22.4K
Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring. The term event is defined as a collection of results of a procedure. An event is a simple event when an outcome cannot be divided into simpler parts.
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...

Probability Histograms

13.2K
A probability histogram is a visual representation of a probability distribution. Similar a typical histogram, the probability histogram consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. It has both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis is labeled with what the data represents. The vertical axis is labeled with probability. Each rectangular bar in the histogram is 1 unit wide, which suggests that the area under each bar equals the probability, P(x), where x is 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Probability Distributions

11.9K
 The probability of a random variable x  is the likelihood of its occurrence. A probability distribution represents the probabilities of a random variable using a formula, graph, or table. There are two types of probability distribution– discrete probability distribution and continuous probability distribution.
A discrete probability distribution is a probability distribution of discrete random variables. It can be categorized into binomial probability distribution and Poisson...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive optical technique to measure blood volume changes.
  • Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia requiring early detection.
  • Existing methods for AF detection from PPG signals can be complex or require specialized equipment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, accessible method for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) using smartphone-based photoplethysmography (PPG).
  • To validate the efficacy of a probability density function (PDF) and phase space diagram approach for AF identification.

Main Methods:

  • PPG signals were acquired from human fingertips using smartphone cameras.
  • Pulse wave periods were extracted and reconstructed into a PDF using a phase space diagram algorithm.
  • Skewness of the PDF was analyzed to differentiate between normal sinus rhythm (NSR) and AF.

Main Results:

  • The PDF reconstruction successfully separated pulse wave periods.
  • Distinct PDF skewness patterns were observed between NSR and AF.
  • The method demonstrated high viability for smartphone-based AF detection.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed PDF and phase space diagram method offers a viable and accessible approach for AF detection using smartphones.
  • This technique has the potential to facilitate widespread, opportunistic screening for cardiac arrhythmias.
