Abstract In this preliminary study, we compared daytime blood pressure (BP) measurements performed by a commercially available cuffless—and continual—BP monitor (Aktiia monitor, Neuchâtel, Switzerland) and traditional ambulatory BP (ABPM; Dyasis 3, Novacor, Paris, France) from 52 patients enrolled in 12-week cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program (Neuchâtel, Switzerland). Daytime (9am–9pm) systolic (SBP) diastolic (DBP) 7-day averaged data Aktiia were to 1-day ABPM. No significant differences...

Objectives: Cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitors represent an innovative approach to BP assessment, overcoming the traditional episodic nature of readings obtained from cuff-based, oscillometric modalities. Nonetheless, comparison these cuffless devices against their cuff-based counterparts remain debated. Methods: This study evaluated a cuffless, continual monitor (Aktiia monitor, Neuchâtel, Switzerland) and standard 24-h ambulatory (ABPM; Dyasis 3, Novacor, Paris, France) in 54 patients...

The potential of CaO-based sorbents using waste and natural geological materials (two wastes marble powders four limestones) for CO2 capture through the Calcium-looping process was assessed two distinct carbonation gas atmospheres: a real industrial flue from cement plant, synthetic mixture. sorbents' capacity evaluated on Fluidized Bed Reactor laboratory scale unit, ten carbonation-calcination cycles (calcination: 930 °C, 70 % in air; carbonation: 700 15 air/real gas). carbonated with...

Objective The objective of this study was to compare the systolic (S) and diastolic (D) blood pressure (BP) estimations from a new optical device at wrist with invasive measurements performed on patients scheduled for radial arterial catheterization in ICU. Optical signals were automatically processed by library algorithms Aktiia SA (OBPM – monitoring algorithms). Methods A total 31 participants both sexes, aged 32–87 years, enrolled (NCT03837769). measurement protocol consisted simultaneous...

Heart failure is a significant public health issue, leading to frequent hospitalizations. The post-hospitalization phase considered particularly vulnerable, with an increased risk of rehospitalization. Implementing well-defined clinical pathway during this period critical optimizing patient management and reducing readmissions. Structured interventions, scheduling follow-up visits, therapeutic education, promotion self-management are key elements in care the transition phase. Coordinated...

Ten different amines of molar mass and structure were deposited from aqueous methanolic solutions concentrations onto two types carbon aerogel. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to quantify the loading, thermal stability CO 2 capture capacity materials. Our results show that amount amine did not depend on solvent used, but generally greater more concentrated solutions, increased with increasing mass. Deposition principally achieved by adsorption mesopore walls, without complete pore...

The adsorption of phenol and 4-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions by carbon blacks was studied. Particular attention paid to the characterisation surface chemistry ionisation use a simple model, as well normalised form Freundlich equation for analysis isotherms. results indicated that solutes interact directly with graphene layers is sensitive π-electron density. Phenol has weaker interaction more system conditions. In particular, it oligomerisation under certain Comparison those previously...

Zinc (Zn)-derived foams have been prepared from an alkaline electrolyte solution by galvanostatic electrodeposition under different conditions. The resulting 316L stainless steel (SS) coated with two distinct Zn-derived was tested in the inhibition of osteoscarcoma cell proliferation and <italic>C. albicans</italic> colonization.

Activated carbons are materials extensively used to remove a variety of pollutants in different media. The porous structure, the surface chemistry and type adsorptive determine potential activated as an adsorbent material. However, more global perspective it is necessary consider other factors such economical viability production reuse. This last factor depends on capacity regeneration after each application. Following this guideline, objective work was evaluate some specific prepared from...

Objective: Previous studies have highlighted the prognostic importance of night-time blood pressure (BP) dipping, associating non-dipping BP patterns with cardiovascular risk. Standard 24-h ambulatory monitors (ABPM) often show inconsistent reproducibility in nocturnal dipping. Cuffless present a promising approach for continual measurement BP, yet their effectiveness is to be assessed. This study compares dipping as recorded by cuffless monitor readings from conventional ABPM. Design and...

Objective: Cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitors have the potential to improve hypertension management and facilitate remote BP monitoring. The success long-term adoption of these devices will significantly depend on patient preferences their perceptions using such technology. In present work, we report patients’ regarding a continuous cuffless monitor cuff-based ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) during 12-week cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. Design method: 63 subjects (NCT04548986, mean age...

Objective: Cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitors provide an innovative approach for BP assessment, transcending the episodic nature of traditional cuff-based, oscillometric modalities like ambulatory (ABPM). However, performance these cuffless devices compared to their cuff-based counterparts remains debated. In this study, readings from a continuous monitor were against those standard 24-hour ABPM. Design and method: The study enrolled 63 subjects (NCT04548986, 53.1±7.2 years, 21.2% female,...
