Whereas studies in awake subjects have demonstrated that chest wall compliance (Ccw) is
low in obese subjects, the one study performed on paralyzed obese subject found Ccw to be …

Telemedicine is evolving into an important tool in delivering services to emergency
departments (EDs) in rural areas. However, we do not yet know what kinds of services can be …

We describe a new method of measuring respiratory system compliance (Crs) that appears
to detect whether respiratory muscles are relaxed. A pulse airflow, 0.3/s, is blown into the …

The velocity profile in the ascending aorta, which has been variously reported as parabolic,
skewed or flat, was measured using an intraluminal probe equipped with a miniature …

In a previous paper we introduced a non-invasive respiratory monitoring system (NIRMS) for
monitoring respiratory movements during sleep. Unlike standard sleep laboratory methods, …

The authors have developed a minimally intrusive system to monitor respiratory movements
of sleeping subjects. This system is based on a pressure transducer which measures the …

The development of a prototype Internet-based infant monitoring system is currently ongoing.
Real time analog, digital and video signals are transferred over the Internet. This project …

The velocity profile of the main pulmonary artery was determined in nine adult, open-chested,
mechanically ventilated mongrel dogs using an intraluminal, needle-mounted, range-gated…

Ultrasonic measurement of blood flow within the main pulmonary artery (MPA) requires a
precise knowledge of the mean blood velocity within this vessel and the cross-sectional area (…

Analytical and experimental studies seeking to confirm or refute the hypothesis that moths
communicate with each other by coherent electromagnetic waves have been under way at …
