Multi-platform Data Integration in Microarray Analysis
Publication Year: 2011, Page(s):806 - 812
Cited by: Papers (2)An increasing number of studies have profiled gene expressions in tumor specimens using distinct microarray plat forms and analysis techniques. One challenging task is to develop robust statistical models in order to integrate multi-platform findings. We compare some methodologies on the field with respect to estrogen receptor (ER) status, and focus on a unified-among platforms scale implemented b... View full abstract»

A Channel Differential EZW Coding Scheme for EEG Data Compression
Publication Year: 2011, Page(s):831 - 838
Cited by: Papers (7)In this paper, a method is proposed to compress multi-channel electroencephalographic (EEG) signals in a scalable fashion. Correlation between EEG channels is exploited through clustering using a k-means method. Representative channels for each of the clusters are encoded individually while other channels are encoded differentially, i.e., with respect to their respective cluster representatives. T...

EEG Signal Description with Spectral-Envelope-Based Speech Recognition Features for Detection of Neonatal Seizures
Publication Year: 2011, Page(s):839 - 847
Cited by: Papers (24) | Patents (1)In this paper, features which are usually employed in automatic speech recognition (ASR) are used for the detection of seizures in newborn EEG. In particular, spectral envelope-based features, composed of spectral powers and their spectral derivatives are compared to the established feature set which has been previously developed for EEG analysis. The results indicate that the ASR features which m... View full abstract»

Development and Evaluation of Multilead Wavelet-Based ECG Delineation Algorithms for Embedded Wireless Sensor Nodes
Publication Year: 2011, Page(s):854 - 863
Cited by: Papers (36) | Patents (3)This work is devoted to the evaluation of multilead digital wavelet transform (DWT)-based electrocardiogram (ECG) wave delineation algorithms, which were optimized and ported to a commercial wearable sensor platform. More specifically, we investigate the use of root-mean squared (RMS)-based multilead followed by a single-lead online delineation algorithm, which is based on a state-of-the-art offli...

Rapid Assessment of Cardiac Contractility on a Home Bathroom Scale
Publication Year: 2011, Page(s):864 - 869
Cited by: Papers (41) | Patents (1)Analyzing systolic time intervals-specifically the preejection-period (PEP)-is widely accepted as one of the few methods for the noninvasive assessment of cardiac contractility. In this paper, we investigated the ballistocardiogram (BCG) as a way to noninvasively measure myocardial contractility when combined with the ECG. Specifically, we derived a parameter from the BCG and ECG that we hypothesi... View full abstract»

Quasi-Static Modeling of Human Limb for Intra-Body Communications With Experiments
Publication Year: 2011, Page(s):870 - 876
Cited by: Papers (37)In recent years, the increasing number of wearable devices on human has been witnessed as a trend. These devices can serve for many purposes: personal entertainment, communication, emergency mission, health care supervision, delivery, etc. Sharing information among the devices scattered across the human body requires a body area network (BAN) and body sensor network (BSN). However, implementation ... View full abstract»

Electromagnetic Interference-Aware Transmission Scheduling and Power Control for Dynamic Wireless Access in Hospital Environments
Publication Year: 2011, Page(s):890 - 899
Cited by: Papers (20)We study the multiple access problem for e-Health applications (referred to as secondary users) coexisting with medical devices (referred to as primary or protected users) in a hospital environment. In particular, we focus on transmission scheduling and power control of secondary users in multiple spatial reuse time-division multiple access (STDMA) networks. The objective is to maximize the spectr... View full abstract»

Fisher–Tippett Region-Merging Approach to Transrectal Ultrasound Prostate Lesion Segmentation
Publication Year: 2011, Page(s):900 - 907
Cited by: Papers (4) | Patents (1)In this paper, a computerized approach to segmenting prostate lesions in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images is presented. The segmentation of prostate lesions from TRUS images is very challenging due to issues, such as poor contrast, low SNRs, and irregular shape variations. To address these issues, a novel approach is employed to segment the lesions from the surrounding prostate, where region m... View full abstract»
