The use of wireless technology based on Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) for information exchange can influence the drivers' behavior towards improving driving performance and reducing road accidents. This even be more relevant if it is presented as a video stream. In this paper we propose system that relies VANET video-streaming technology: See-Through System (STS). enhances driver's visibility supports overtaking decision in challenging situations, such vision-obstructing vehicle....
Parking is a major problem of car transportation, with important implications in traffic congestion and urban landscape. Reducing the space needed to park cars has led development fully automated mechanical parking systems. These systems are, however, limitedly deployed because their construction maintenance costs. Leveraging on semi fully-autonomous vehicular technology, as well electric propulsion paradigm ad hoc networking, we propose new concept where mobility parked vehicles managed by...
Abstract Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP’s) represent a valuable tool for gathering knowledge and summarising the latest trends in medicine dentistry. education has been found, even before COVID-19 pandemic, to increase level of stimulate effective learning postgraduate healthcare professionals. Interprofessional is critical preparing students enter health workforce, where teamwork collaboration are important competencies. This article outlines key points Programme’s implementation dental...
Alendronate, a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, has reported long-term clinical success in the management of distinct bone-related conditions, particularly modulation post-menopausal osteoporosis. Nonetheless, whether inhibitory activity over osteoclastic cells' functionality is widely acknowledged, contradictory evidence arises from assessment alendronate osteoblastic populations. This may be particular relevance situations which bone formation exceeds resorption, with further emphasis...
First responders such as firefighters are exposed to extreme stress and fatigue situations during their work routines. It is thus desirable monitor health using wearable sensing but this a complex still unsolved research challenge that requires large amounts of properly annotated physiological signals data. In paper we show the information gathered by our Vital Analysis Framework can support annotation these vital with levels perceived target user, confirmed analysis more than 4600 hours...
Stress is a major factor for the degradation of cardiac health in first responder professionals such as firefighters. Monitoring stress during real events might be key controlling this problem. In paper we inspect how standard heart rate variability (HRV) measures are associated with self-perception firefighters action, supported by an advanced technological solution to acquire data. Results obtained from more than 94 hours annotated ECG recordings action promising, showing positive...
Auscultation is currently both a powerful screening tool, providing cheap and quick initial assessment of patient's clinical condition, hard skill to master. The teaching auscultation in Universities today reduced an unsuitable number hours. Virtual patient simulators can potentially mitigate this problem, by interesting high-quality alternative with real patients or simulators. In paper we evaluate the pedagogical impact using virtual simulation technology short workshop format for medical...
Combining Phonocardiography (PCG) and Electrocardiography (ECG) data has been recognized within the state-of-the-art as of added value for enhanced cardiovascular assessment. However, multiple aspects ECG acquisition in a stethoscope form factor remain unstudied, existing devices typically enforce substantial change into routine clinical auscultation procedures, with predictably low technology acceptance. As such, this paper, we present novel approach to throughout five main cardiac points,...
This paper aims to describe and discuss a proposal incorporate digital auscultation its processing into an existing EHR. The architecture was planned be used in both primary hospital care, includes a digital stethoscope; an exam collection module; integration EHR web service; EHR. Special attention given standardize communications using HL7 openEHR. proposed implementation uses commercial stethoscope, android app collect the data, mirth engine that communicates or openEHR...
The confined space of a car and the configuration its controls displays towards driver, offer significant advantages for Augmented Reality (AR) systems in terms immersion level provided to user. In addition, inherent mobility virtually unlimited power autonomy transform cars into perfect mobile computing platforms. However, limited network connectivity that is currently available automobiles leads design Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) create AR objects based only on information...
In this paper we associate features obtained from ECG signals with the expected levels of stress real firefighters in action when facing specific events such as fires or car accidents. Five were monitored using wearable technology collecting signals. Heart rate and heart variability analyzed consecutive 5-min intervals during several types events. A questionnaire was used to rank these according fatigue a measure association applied compare ranking features. Results indicate associations...
Heart sounds are difficult to interpret because a) they composed by several different sounds, all contained in very tight time windows; b) vary from physiognomy even if the show similar characteristics; c) human ears not naturally trained recognize heart sounds. Computer assisted decision systems may help but require robust signal processing algorithms. In this paper, we use a real life dataset order compare performance of hidden Markov model and semi models that used Poisson, Gaussian,...
Auscultation is a routine exam and the first line of screening in heart pathologies. The objective this study was to assess if using new data collection system, DigiScope Collector, with guided automatic annotation auscultation, different levels expertise/experience users could collect similar digital auscultations. Data were collected within Heart Caravan Initiative (Paraíba, Brasil). Patients divided into two groups: Group 1 evaluated by third year medical student (User 1), an experienced...
A infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2 tem sido objeto de diversos estudos sobre como a ação desse vírus pode afetar o ser humano e quais consequências longo prazo podem desencadeadas pela COVID-19. O tropismo por vários órgãos, tecidos células humanas, incluindo sistema reprodutor masculino que influenciar negativamente nos parâmetros seminais. objetivo deste trabalho é analisar meio uma revisão integrativa da literatura, os possíveis impactos COVID-19 níveis hormonais associados à função reprodutiva...
With the advent of vehicular communications and new developments in enhanced reality for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), we present this position paper a highway revenue model based on digital advertising super-imposed physical billboards. We show that there is strong correlation between economic development an extensive road network. However, public support maintaining expanding network diminishing since these investments mainly rely taxation. The common approach to introduce...
First responders are professionals that exposed to extreme stress and fatigue during extended periods of time. That is why it necessary research develop technological solutions based on wearable sensors can continuously monitor the health these in action, namely their levels. In this paper we present Vital Analysis smartphone-based framework, integrated into broader Responder project, allows annotation contextualization signals collected real action. After a contextual study have implemented...
