In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

What is Cell Signaling?

129.9K
Despite the protective membrane that separates a cell from the environment, cells need the ability to detect and respond to environmental changes. Additionally, cells often need to communicate with one another. Unicellular and multicellular organisms use a variety of cell signaling mechanisms to communicate to respond to the environment.

Bacterial Signaling01:30

Bacterial Signaling

40.3K
Bacterial signaling can occur within bacteria (intracellular) or between bacteria (intercellular). At times, a group of bacteria behaves like a community. To achieve this, they engage in quorum sensing, the perception of higher cell density that causes changes in gene expression. Quorum sensing involves both extracellular and intracellular signaling. The signaling cascade starts with a molecule called an autoinducer (AI). Individual bacteria produce AIs that move out of the bacterial cell...

Yeast Signaling

17.2K
Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...

Paracrine Signaling01:21

Paracrine Signaling

59.5K
Paracrine signaling allows cells to communicate with their immediate neighbors via secretion of signaling molecules. Such a signal can only trigger a response in nearby target cells because the signal molecules degrade quickly or are inactivated if not taken up. Prominent examples of paracrine signaling include nitric oxide signaling in blood vessels, synaptic signaling of neurons, the blood clotting system, tissue repair/wound healing, and local allergic skin reactions. Nitric oxide as a...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Sleep Medicine

Background:

  • Rising healthcare costs and an aging population increase the demand for efficient diagnostic tools.
  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular complications are prevalent, with polysomnography (PSG) as the current gold standard.
  • PSG is invasive, costly, and lacks privacy, necessitating alternative diagnostic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review ballistocardiography (BCG) sensors and signal processing methods for vital signs monitoring.
  • To explore BCG's potential as a non-invasive tool for diagnosing OSA and cardiovascular diseases.
  • To identify optimal signal processing techniques for BCG data analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of various BCG sensor technologies (e.g., PVDF, EFM, strain gauges, fiber optics).
  • In-depth analysis of signal processing methods applied to BCG signals.
  • Evaluation of factors affecting BCG signal quality (e.g., mattress properties, motion artifacts).

Main Results:

  • BCG sensors can be integrated into everyday objects like mattresses for unobtrusive vital sign monitoring.
  • Signal processing is crucial for extracting physiological parameters (heart rate, breathing rate) and sleep stages from BCG.
  • Nonlinear and nonstationary characteristics of BCG signals present analysis challenges.

Conclusions:

  • BCG presents a promising, non-invasive alternative for vital signs monitoring and potential OSA diagnosis.
  • Further research into advanced signal processing is needed to overcome BCG analysis challenges.
  • Optimized BCG methods can contribute to more accessible and comfortable healthcare diagnostics.
