Characterization of mechanical properties of adult chests during pre-hospital manual chest compressions through a simple viscoelastic model
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Aim
The purpose of this study was to develop a simple viscoelastic model to characterize the mechanical properties of chests during manual chest compressions in pre-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Metho ...
Contribution of chest compressions to end-tidal carbon dioxide levels generated during out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
Aim
Characterise how changes in chest compression depth and rate affect variations in end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) during manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Methods
Retrospective ...
Review of a Custom-Designed Optical Sensing System for Aero-Engine Applications
(MDPI, 2021-02-25)
Fibre bundle-based reflective optical sensors are good candidates for parameter monitorisation in aero engines. Tip clearance is one of those parameters of great concern that is necessary to monitor. Within this optical ...
A New Method to Design Trifurcated Optical Fiber Displacement Sensors
(IEEE, 2024-01)
Trifurcated optical fiber displacement sensors (OFDSs) are increasingly used in industrial and aerospace applications. The critical element of the sensor is the fiber bundle. However, there is no straightforward method to ...
The Role of Chest Compressions on Ventilation during Advanced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
(MDPI, 2023-11-03)
There is growing interest in the quality of manual ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but accurate assessment of ventilation parameters remains a challenge. Waveform capnography is currently the reference ...
Cardiac output estimation using ballistocardiography: a feasibility study in healthy subjects
(Nature, 2024)
There is no reliable automated non-invasive solution for monitoring circulation and guiding treatment in prehospital emergency medicine. Cardiac output (CO) monitoring might provide a solution, but CO monitors are not ...
Communications and data science for the success of vehicle-to-grid technologies: Current state and future trends
(MDPI, 2024-05-15)
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology has emerged as a promising solution for enhancing the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into the electric grid, offering benefits, such as distributed energy resource (DER) integration, ...
Altered nuclear export signal recognition as a driver of oncogenesis
(AACR, 2019-10-01)
Altered expression of XPO1, the main nuclear export receptor in eukaryotic cells, has been observed in cancer, and XPO1 has been a focus of anticancer drug development. However, mechanistic evidence for cancer-specific ...
RF Energy Absorption in Human Bodies Due to Wearable Antennas in the 2.4 GHz Frequency Band
(Wiley, 2019-11-19)
Human exposure to electromagnetic fields produced by two wearable antennas operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band was assessed by computational tools. Both antennas were designed to be attached to the skin, but they were ...
Methodology for determining the threshold distance for estimating the main EM exposure contribution in WLAN
(Elsevier, 2021-05-25)
The location of radiation sources in wireless networks is a key factor to characterize their contribution to electromagnetic exposure levels in order to deploy future networks that account for minimizing electromagnetic ...
