Several studies have shown that combining the change in ST-segment with another exercise variable improves predictive value of stress testing. However, no method has been able to combine many test variables simultaneously and help clinician better predict future cardiac events. Fuzzy Cluster Analysis (FCA) was used 5 deviation classify each 232 positive outpatient tests as mildly, moderately, or severely abnormal. Cardiac events were recorded these 3 patient groups up 96 months (mean 65...
The performance of a 94-GHz radar is evaluated for variety cloud conditions. Descriptions the hardware, signal processing, and calibration provide an overview radar's capabilities. An important component processing application two cloud-mask schemes to data objective estimates boundaries detect significant returns that would otherwise be discarded if simple threshold method delectability was applied return power. Realistic profiles atmospheric pressure, temperature, water vapor are used in...
Comorbidities and socioeconomic barriers often limit patient adherence self-management with hemodialysis. Missed sessions, associated communication barriers, can result in emergency dialysis avoidable hospitalizations. This proof of concept study explored using a novel digital-messaging platform, EpxDialysis, to improve patient-to-dialysis center via widely available text messaging telephone technology. A randomized controlled trial was conducted through Washington University-affiliated...
Background:We conducted a randomized controlled trial of EpxDiabetes, novel digital health intervention as an adjunct therapy to reduce HbA1c and fasting blood glucose (FBG) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In addition, we examined the effect social determinants on our system. Methods:Sixty-five (n = 65) were at primary care clinic. Self-reported FBG data collected by EpxDiabetes automated phone calls or text messages. Only group responses shared providers, facilitating...
Introduction Owing to its capacity perform remote assessments, telemedicine is rising as a new force in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management. We conducted an eight month randomised-controlled-trial study the effect of automated intervention on patients’ time-to-hospitalisation. Methods A total 168 patients with diagnosis COPD past 24 months were enrolled receive at primary care clinic. The treatment group received daily phone messages from system asking them report if they...
Background: Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presents a major disease burden in the United States. Outpatient glycemic control among patients with T2DM remains difficult. Telemedicine shows great potential as an adjunct therapy to aid real-world settings.
The authors have used a commercially available laser ceilometer to measure vertical profiles of the optical extinction in rain. This application requires special signal processing correct raw data for effects receiver noise, high-pass filtering, and incomplete overlap transmitted beam with field view at close range. calibration constant ceilometer, denoted by C, is determined from profile corrected returned power conditions moderate attenuation which completely extinguished over distance on...
Although hypertension (HTN) is a major modifiable risk factor for arterial damage, blood pressure (BP) remains poorly controlled in the hypertensive population. Telemedicine promising adjunct intervention that may complement traditional therapies and improve adherence rates; however, current approaches have multiple barriers to entry, including use of relatively expensive Bluetooth devices or dependence on smart phone utilization, which tend exclude low-income more elderly populations.The...
Background: Patient noncompliance with therapy, treatments, and appointments represents a significant barrier to improving health care delivery reducing the cost of care.One method improve therapeutic adherence is feedback loops in getting clinically acute events issues relevant clinical providers as necessary (ranging from detecting hypoglycemic for patients diabetes notifying provider when are out medications).Patients often don't know which information should prompt call their physician...
The ability to control the cross-sectional profile of polysilicon gate structures on semiconductor devices is paramount maximize product yield and transistor performance. Tighter parameters leads a tighter distribution speeds, resulting in more optimized consistent device Furthermore, correlate physical in-line measurements taken at patterning process steps, back-end-of-line parametric test results, enables manufacturers minimize cost per good die produced, by accurately screening...
Background: Medication adherence remains a difficult problem to both assess and improve in patients. It is multifactorial that goes beyond the commonly cited reason of forgetfulness. To date, eHealth (also known as mHealth telehealth) interventions medication have largely been successful improving adherence. However, date used time- cost-intensive strategies or focused solely on reminding, leaving much room for improvement using modality flexible eHealth. Objective: Our objective was develop...
Fuzzy cluster analysis (FCA) was used to classify 166 outpatient positive treadmill stress tests as mildly, moderately, or severely abnormal. The method combines ST-segment change with five other test variables, and then computes a similarity measure determine how closely each patient’s resembles prototypical abnormal test. All patients had coronary angiography within 1 month of their tests. For the 45 triple vessel disease (TVD), FCA classified 34 these (sensitivity = 75%). 22 left main...
Previous studies have shown inconsistent relationships between left atrial size and various characteristics of fibrillation seen on the surface electrocardiogram. The purpose this study was to determine if fractal dimension derived from ECG would be useful in predicting size.The (D) calculated using resting 12-lead ECGs 53 patients (age 48-90) chronic (greater than one year duration). D is slope log/log plot total length a strip against progressively decreasing lengths measurement, plus one....
Background: Recent ablation strategies for complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation or ischemic ventricular tachycardia are increasingly based on anatomic considerations. While fluoroscopy and 3D-mapping systems widely used to guide these ablations, they limited by poor soft tissue visualization the lack of real-time data. Therefore, this study sought evaluate if computed tomography (RT-CT) could overcome limitations catheter navigation, transseptal puncture anatomically targeted...
Shallow Trench Isolation (STI), is a critical process module in the manufacture of advanced CMOS devices. To achieve proper control STI process, multiple parameters such as film thickness, etched trench depth, and dimension (CD) must be measured with high degree precision accuracy. Historically, these varied were required to independently using different metrology techniques/tools. Film thickness measurement via reflectometry or ellipsometry, depth profilometer Atomic Force Microscope (AFM),...
