Increasing the efficiency of osseointegration in dental implantation in patients with diabetic osteopathy by remodeling bone tissue and intensifying its density. by O.O. Gudarian, D.O. Cherednyk

“…At the same time, we strove to ensure that the percentage of the performed operations was approximately the same. The analysis of the obtained data of laboratory studies showed that in patients with diabetic osteopathy with rapidly progressing periodontitis and rapidly progressing generalized periodontitis without background pathology, a deeper imbalance of the processes of bone remodeling with high level of both – bone resorption and osteogenesis is observed, which causes acceleration of the destruction of periodontal bone tissue and their loss. …”

The quest for blood pressure markers in photoplethysmography and its applications in digital health by Josep Sola, Andreu Arderiu, Tiago P. Almeida, Sibylle Fallet, Sasan Yazdani, Serj Haddad, David Perruchoud, Olivier Grossenbacher, Jay Shah

“…Six different machine learning models were developed to predict BP using cuff BP readings as reference (75%|15%|15% training|validation|testing): four baseline models [heart rate (HR), Age, Demography (DEM: Age + Gender + BMI), DEM + HR], and two models relying on the analysis of the PPG waveforms (PPG, PPG + DEM). Performance of each model was evaluated on the 4,823 subjects from the testing set using as metrics the Pearson's correlation (r) when comparing the estimated and the reference BP values, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curves, and true positive and true negative rates (TPR, TNR) for the detection of high BP (reference SBP ≥ 140 or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg, applying a ± 8 mmHg exclusion zone to account for cuff measurement uncertainty).ResultsBaseline models showed low correlation with cuff data and poor high BP detection (r < 0.35; AUROC < 0.65, TPR < 0.65, TNR < 0.58). …”
