... Patients with systemic autoimmune diseases are at increased risk of influenza and severe respiratory complications, particularly if they are on therapy with immunosuppressive drugs belonging to the biological and synthetic last-generation drug classes [1][2][3]. Respiratory tract infections are the most common in this patient setting; among them, seasonal influenza remains one of the most frequent causes of hospitalization and mortality, similar to that observed in the general population [1,[4][5][6]. ...

... COVID-19 disease can cause depression, anxiety and impair autonomic functions (10,11). Dale and colleagues' large scale survey in the US showed that people diagnosed with COVID-19, and particularly medical providers, experienced increased autonomic reactivity that was associated with prior adversities and current mental difficulties. ...

... Several promising ECG analytical approaches may influence this field in the future. ECG analysis using the Lempel-Ziv complexity model [48], nonlinear analysis [49], mode decomposition and wavelet analysis [50], topological approaches [51], and entropy analysis [52] report similar levels of reliability, validity, and accuracy to the LF/HF analysis presented in this paper [18]. Although it is beyond the scope of this paper to review each analytical approach, these technologies are already offering accurate diagnostic classification of the ECG signal. ...

... K-point meshes of 8 × 8 × 8 Monkhorst-Pack scheme have been used. Chosen LCAO/Gaussian basis set type approach and DFT methods have been shown highly efficient and precise in our previous theoretical studies [44][45][46] and in comparison to the experimental data [30,47,48]. A computational strategy implemented in the CRYSTAL17 solid-state, quantum-chemical program has been performed for the accurate ab initio simulation of elastic and mechanical properties of crystalline materials [49]. ...

... Since first was proposed, HRV has been rapidly adopted as a non-invasive method to study the cardiac autonomic modulation [3]. Evidences of an association between HRV and CVD, such as myocardial infarction [4,5], stroke [6], angina [7,8], coronary heart disease [9], coronary artery disease [10][11][12] and sudden cardiac death [13], have been reported. Furthermore, studies have put forward that HRV has predictive value for CVD outcomes [14][15][16]. ...

... Lei et al. [248], by formulating the intervention tasks in real-time as a contextual bandit problem, provided an online actor-critic algorithm as an intervention strategy to guide JITAI practices. b) Crowd Sensing for Population Health: Crowd Sensing practices investigate population health issues by comprehensively mining massive health-related data among researched groups such as monitoring and screening the population health status in a region in both depth and coverage [245], [249], and verifying [87] and inferring [84] the determinants of specific diseases via powerful statistics-based approaches. ...

... Slika 5 je ilustracija promena pritiska, pulsnog intervala i telesne temperature za istog pacova kao na slikama 3 i 4, a takođe prikazuje i dinamičku zavisnost sa kašnjenjem između pulsnog intervala u odnosu na sistolni pritisak. Ovo dinamičko posmatranje uz farmakološku validaciju detaljno je elaborirano u [10] a neki aspekti su takođe prikazani u [11]. ...

... When we separated patients with arterial thrombosis according to different arterial circulation regions, we found that aPLA were statistically significantly more common in patients with ischemic stroke and TIA than in subjects who had not experienced thrombotic complications or experienced other thrombotic complications. Djokovic et al. found that APS subjects who experienced cerebrovascular thrombotic complications were more likely to be diagnosed with IgG β2GP1 antibodies than those who had not experienced these complications [18]. Carmel-Neiderman et al. who studied patients with the stroke and aPLA compared these data with the healthy control group. ...

... e network is supported by three parts: contracting, bridge, and expanding paths to complete the stain separation of H (hematoxylin), E (eosin), and B (background) channels. e contracting path is used to reduce the spatial dimension of the feature map, while increasing the number of the feature maps layer by layer [37][38][39][40], extracting the input image as a compact feature. e bridge connects the contracting and expanding paths. is U-shaped encoder-decoder model is improved to be a multiple tasks model; besides the output of the U-net, we also use the most compact features to predict the stain color matrixes, which is combined with mean and variance of stain color values of hematoxylin, eosin, and background paths. ...

... One of the most popular guidelines for this minimum length using ApEn is N ≥ 10 m [53], which translates in this case to N ≥ 1000, in agreement with the results in this study. In order to illustrate how the ApEn statistics were computed for the most unfavorable case, N = 500, the percentage of estimated probabilities on at least 10 matches, weak criterion, was 80.17 ± 10.37, and on at least 100 matches, strong criterion, was 6.52 ± 13.01 [54]. ...
