Article Title: Development of a real-time RGB-D visual feedback-assisted pulmonary rehabilitation system

doi: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23704

Figure Lengend Snippet: Diagram of modelling (A) Schematic representation of real-time RGB-D visual feedback-assisted pulmonary rehabilitation system, which consists of a PowerLab 26T spirometer connected to a mouthpiece, Realsense D415 RGB-D camera, and screen (not shown). (B) Both shoulders and hip joints are detected by pose-estimation (red target circles), which is used as a reference plane to define target-tracking regions (black dots). (C) Depth information (along the z-axis of the 3D camera coordinates) of target regions are recorded over time and visualised on a screen to provide real-time visual feedback. Three motion bars (pink rectangles) represent the capacity percentages of left-chest, right-chest, and stomach regions, individually.

Figure Lengend Snippet: The diagram of recording and stimulating based on devises . At first equation derived from Rossler's equation was considered as the stimulation signal. At second and third block of diagram, the extracted stimulation signal with a controllable interface was converted to an analog signal to be exerted on the Biceps muscle (green block) via LabVIEW software and via the National AD Instrument device. The stimulation signal was then synchronized (SYNCHRONIZER block) with the EMG signal. In the following, the biceps EMG signal was recorded by the Powerlab 26T device And in two last block EMG signal save as matrix in MATLAB software.

Article Title: Norepinephrine mediates heart block during severe hypoglycemia in male rats

doi: 10.14814/phy2.70010

Figure Lengend Snippet: Experiment 1: Brain norepinephrine infusion ECG. (a) Mortality during severe hypoglycemia was 16% in aCSF (white bar) and 35% in Nore (black bar) but this was not statistically different. (b) Third‐degree heart block was increased in Nore compared to aCSF. (c) ST elevation was increased in Nore whereas aCSF did not experience ST elevation. (d) Heart rate decreased in both groups during severe hypoglycemia (SH) compared to their respective basals ( p < 0.001). During severe hypoglycemia, Nore had a slight but significantly higher heart rate compared to aCSF ( p < 0.02). (e) QTc prolongation occurred in both groups during severe hypoglycemia compared to basal with no differences between the two groups ( p < 0.001). (f) Representative ECG from aCSF (left) and Nore (right). Basal: Both groups show normal sinus rhythm. T wave increase: Both groups had some rats that experienced this. ST elevation: This did not occur in aCSF. Instead normal sinus rhythm at similar timepoint during severe hypoglycemia is shown. Nore shows ST elevation. Third‐degree heart block: Rats from both groups experienced third‐degree heart block. Data are represented as box and whisker plots with median and interquaritle range and min to max values. N = 20–26/group.

doi: 10.14814/phy2.70010

Figure Lengend Snippet: Experiment 2: Blockade of norepinephrine with reserpine ECG. (a) Mortality was completely prevented with Reserpine compared to 13.8% in Control (white bar) but this missed significance. (b) Second‐degree heart block was nearly prevented with Reserpine compared to Control. (c) Third‐degree heart block was prevented with Reserpine compared to 24% in Control. (d) T wave increase occurred in Control but was prevented with Reserpine. (e) Heart rate decreased during severe hypoglycemia compared to basal ( p < 0.001) but to a similar extent in both groups. (f) QTc prolongation occurred in both groups compared to basal ( p < 0.001) but to a lesser extent in Reserpine ( p < 0.02). (g) Representative ECG from Control (left) and Reserpine (right) groups. Basal: Rats from both groups were in normal sinus rhythm. Shown under the control group is T wave increase, ST elevation, and third degree heart block. The rats in the Reserpine group did not have T wave increase, ST elevation, or third Degree heart block. Instead, an ECG at a similar timepoint during severe hypoglycemia (i.e., 1, 2, and 3 h) are shown with the rats in normal sinus rhythm. Data are represented as box and whisker plots with median and interquaritle range and min to max values. N = 20–29/group.
