Ubiquitous vital signs sensing using wireless medical sensors are promising alternatives to conventional, in-hospital healthcare systems. In this work, a wearable ECG sensor is proposed. This system combined an appropriate protocol for data communication with capacitive signal and processing. The ANT was used as low-data-rate module reduce the power consumption size of sensor. Furthermore, simple technique that avoids direct contact skin provides maximum convenience user. our small...
Background The healthcare burden related to congenital heart disease ( CHD ) is increasing with improving survival. We assessed changing trends in prenatal risk factors for the current era a Canadian cohort. Methods and Results patients <18 years old (n=2339) controls without structural (n=199) were prospectively enrolled an Ontario province‐wide biobank registry from 2008–2011. Family history, frequency of extra‐cardiac anomalies ECA s), antenatal assessed. Temporal analyzed associations...
Abstract Aim To develop a generic self‐management skills scale for use with adolescents diagnosed chronic health condition who are aged 12 to 18 years. Background There is lack of methodologically sound scales healthcare teams measure in conditions transitioning adult care. Methods Adolescents years broad range conditions, including neurodevelopmental were recruited from M ay A ugust 2013 nine outpatient clinics at c aster C hildren's H ospital ( anada). Thirty‐two participated cognitive...
Green synthetic approach to synthesizing highly luminescent N-doped carbon quantum dots with porphyrin like moiety for sensitive and selective detection of Fe<sup>3+</sup>.
Although few works on highly luminescent carbon quantum dots (CQD) with high photostability for sensing applications have already been reported in the literature, study of photoluminescence CQD presence oxidation–reduction reaction and its use as fluorescent indicator redox titration still remains an infant stage. Here, we synthesized green, eco-friendly, multicolored emissive CQDs from aspartic acid urea using simple heat treatment at 200 °C 2 h without a solvent. The as-synthesized show...
We report very fast, green, and large-scale synthesis of amino-functionalized carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using a domestic microwave to investigate CQD-Tb-based dual emission for visual detection toxic Hg2+. Citric acid p-phenylenediamine are used as precursor materials synthesize the CQD, which shows excitation-independent blue luminescence. To achieve emission, Tb-containing CQD is synthesized in easy cost-effective way. These dual-emissive fluorescent have been successfully indicator Hg2+...
Background Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) may occur after Kawasaki disease (KD) and lead to important morbidity mortality. As CAA in patients with KD are rare heterogeneous lesions, prognostication risk stratification difficult. We sought derive the cumulative associated factors for cardiovascular complications CAAs KD. Methods Results A 34-institution international registry of 1651 who had (maximum Z score ≥2.5) was used. Time-to-event analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier method Cox...
The aging population is projected to rise significantly due continuous improvements in healthcare, personal and environmental hygiene, nutrition, education. This large demographic may cause adverse socio-economic impacts terms of the costs associated with healthcare social services. In order support needs elderly a cost-effective manner, affordable, non-invasive, easy-to-use, reliable predictive diagnostic monitoring solutions are required. Therefore, walking or gait, being good indicator...
Cardiomyopathy (CMP) is a heritable disorder. Over 50% of cases are gene-elusive on clinical gene panel testing. The contribution variants in non-coding DNA elements that result cryptic splicing and regulate expression has not been explored. We analyzed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data discovery cohort 209 pediatric CMP patients 1953 independent replication genomes exomes. searched for protein-coding variants, predicted to affect the function or genes. Thirty-nine percent harbored...
