This paper presents ultra-low power photoplethysmography (PPG) readout circuits. The proposed system architecture uses a current buffer between the photodiode (PD) and the transimpedance amplifier (TIA) to isolate the large parasitic capacitance of
Infectious diseases are among the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients while systemic inflammatory response syndrome is primarily attributed to the imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines
CONCLUSIONS: Blood group O is more prevalent among patients with VITT-CVT after ChAdOx1-S vaccination compared with unvaccinated cases, independent of well-established CVT risk factors. A larger dataset may be able to determine whether those of blood
This article explores the perception of violence against women (VAW) in the Middle East and North Africa in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic using Arab Barometer VI parts 1 and 3 (N = 12,548). Results showed that men and social conservatism
The clinical significance of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in detecting diseases has been established over the past decades. Gas chromatography (GC) devices enable the measurement of these VOCs. Chromatographic peak alignment is one of the
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this research highlight the crucial significance of the community call center hotline (number: 16000) and the COVID vaccination hotline (number: 7077) in effectively addressing the multifaceted challenges brought up by
Overweight and obesity have emerged as global health issues among children and adolescents. Restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have aggravated the threat of paediatric obesity due to the prevalent reduction in physical activity (PA) in
CONCLUSIONS: Restrictions such as lockdowns affect coercive measures and resulted in fewer but longer involuntary psychiatric admissions during weeks of lockdown in Austria. These results strengthen previous findings that showed the dependence of
CONCLUSIONS: Our MR analysis provides compelling evidence of causal associations between genetic susceptibility to COVID-19 and specific PCS symptoms, in which educational and income levels play a mediating role. These findings shed light on PCS
