… We aimed to investigate whether peripheral concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP),
an acute-phase response protein of inflammatory activity, are increased in bipolar disorder …

Objective There is strong evidence for a bi-directional relationship between heart-health
and depression in later life, but the physiological mechanisms underlying this relationship …

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
2 (SARS-CoV-2), is rapidly spreading across the globe. The clinical spectrum of SARS-…

Background As more and more researchers are turning to big data for new opportunities of

… kernel of degree 3 for C=0.8,10 and linear kernel for C=10) when the a … C=0.8. However,
the accuracy rate reached 100% (κ =1.0; ROCarea=1.0) (in polynomial kernel of degree 3 for C=…

… where m represents lag of Poincaré plot and C n is the normalizing constant which is defined
as, C n = π * SD 1 * SD 2, represents the area of the fitted ellipse over Poincaré plot. The …

Heart rate variability is the study of autonomic nervous activity through the information provided
by fluctuations in heart rate. Autonomic activity is responsible for regulating heart rate. By …

The photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal measures the local variations of blood volume in
tissues, reflecting the peripheral pulse modulated by cardiac activity, respiration, and other …

Entropy measures that assess signals’ complexity have drawn increasing attention recently
in biomedical field, as they have shown the ability of capturing unique features that are …

We investigate whether pulse rate variability (PRV) extracted from finger photo-plethysmography
(Pleth) waveforms can be the substitute of heart rate variability (HRV) from RR intervals …
