PHANTOM WITH PULSATILE ARTERIES TO INVESTIGATE THE INFLUENCE OF BLOOD VESSEL DEPTH ON PULSE OXIMETER SIGNAL STRENGTH

Phantom with Pulsatile Arteries to Investigate the Influence of Blood Vessel Depth on Pulse Oximeter Signal Strength

This paper describes a three-layer head phantom with artificial pulsating arteries at five different depths (1.2 mm, 3.7 mm, 6.8 mm, 9.6 mm and 11.8 mm).The structure enables formation of spatially and temporally varying tissue properties similar to those of living tissues.In our experiment, pressure pulses were generated in the arteries by an elec

Proteo-Transcriptomic Analysis Identifies Potential Novel Toxins Secreted by the Predatory, Prey-Piercing Ribbon Worm Amphiporus lactifloreus

Nemerteans (ribbon worms) employ toxins to subdue their prey, but research thus far has focused on the small-molecule components of mucus secretions and few protein toxins have been characterized.We carried PURSES out a preliminary proteotranscriptomic analysis of putative toxins produced by the hoplonemertean Amphiporus lactifloreus (Hoplonemertea

COMBImage2: a parallel computational framework for higher-order drug combination analysis that includes automated plate design, matched filter based object counting and temporal data mining

Abstract Background Pharmacological treatment of complex diseases using more than two drugs is commonplace in the clinic due to better efficacy, decreased toxicity and reduced risk for developing resistance.However, many of these higher-order treatments have not undergone any detailed FENNEL preceding in vitro evaluation that could support their th
