Authors' reply-multi-organ ultrasonography: a stethoscope for the body
2018
We read with great interest the letter from Sakka et al . (1) commenting our article (2) on comprehensive haemodynamic monitoring in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). We agree with the authors that haemodynamic monitoring has to be implemented in patients with ARDS complicating TBI.
Automatic screening of cardiac disorders using wavelet analysis of heart sound
2017
Body auscultation is a dominant method for physical examination of human heart using conventional stethoscope. This clinical method is non invasive and efficient but it requires a medical expert to interpret the heart sound for assessment of cardiac disorders. This paper presents analysis of heart sounds in wavelet domain for automated screening of cardiac disorders. Heart sound signal is transformed in wavelet domain to find out discrimination between heart sounds recorded from healthy and anomalous patients. Discriminatory features extracted from wavelet coefficients of heart sound are subjected to machine learning for screening of cardiac disorders automatically. The proposed method for …
An innovative approach towards E-health in development of tele auscultation system for heart using GSM mobile communication technology
2013
Health is one of the major issues for normal existence of human life and it is a global agenda to increase the health care facilities for the peoples who don't have an immediate access to these facilities and are living in rural and undeveloped areas. From the beginning of twenty first century field of E-health has been developed rapidly to encounter these problems properly. The healthcare infrastructure gaining betterment day by day under the shadow of E-health technologies, where using mobile phones are becoming an efficient tool in monitoring and transmitting different physiological signals. Cardiac sound is an initiative physiological parameter that is helpful for diagnosing changes in …
