Severe viral respiratory infections in children with IFIH1 loss-of-function mutations

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha, Christian Hammer, Thomas Junier, Samira Asgari

Viral respiratory infections are usually mild and self-limiting; still they exceptionally result in life-threatening infections in previously healthy children. To investigate a potential genetic cause, we recruited 120 previously healthy children requiring ...

Paradigm-Shifting Players for IoT: Smart-Watches for Intensive Care Monitoring

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Danilo Demarchi, Eleonora Lavalle

Wearable devices, e.g. smart-watches, are gaining popularity in many fields and in wellness monitoring too. In this paper we propose an IoT application to alert the medical doctor assigned to a critical unit by using a smart-watch. The wearable device impr ...

Pilot study of sources and concentrations of size-resolved airborne particles in a neonatal intensive care unit

Dusan Licina

Infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are vulnerable to environmental stressors. Few studies have reported on airborne particles in the NICU environment. During a four-day pilot study in a private-style NICU, we measured size-resolved particle n ...

Wireless Monitoring of Endogenous and Exogenous Biomolecules on an Android Interface

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Irene Taurino, Cristina Boero, Camilla Baj-Rossi, Grégoire Casimir Joseph Surrel, Stefano Riario

Monitoring patients in intensive care units is generally expensive and time consuming. A prompter medical intervention for those critical patients is a key factor for their safety. Therefore, a system that offers immediate visualization of the monitored da ...

Patient MoCap: Human Pose Estimation under Blanket Occlusion for Hospital Monitoring Applications

Alexandru Eugen Ichim, Huseyin Coskun

Motion analysis is typically used for a range of diagnostic procedures in the hospital. While automatic pose estimation from RGB-D input has entered the hospital in the domain of rehabilitation medicine and gait analysis, no such method is available for be ...

Concentrations and Sources of Airborne Particles in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Dusan Licina

Premature infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have underdeveloped immune systems, making them susceptible to adverse health consequences from air pollutant exposure. Little is known about the sources of indoor airborne particles that contribut ...

False arrhythmia alarms reduction in the intensive care unit: a multimodal approach

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani, Sibylle Fallet

The purpose of this study was to develop algorithms to lower the incidence of false arrhythmia alarms in the ICU using information from independent sources, namely electrocardiogram (ECG), arterial blood pressure (ABP) and photoplethysmogram (PPG). Our app ...

Wall-Roughness Effects on Flow and Scouring in Curved Channels with Gravel Beds

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca

Due to a complex three-dimensional flow pattern, the outer banks of river bends are predisposed to erosion. When endangering civil structures, preventing measures to mitigate this erosion are thus required. Vertical ribs at protection walls for scour reduc ...

Role of charged defects on the electrical and electromechanical properties of rhombohedral Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 with oxygen octahedra tilts

Dragan Damjanovic

Oxygen octahedra tilting is a common structural phenomenon in perovskites and has been subject of intensive studies, particularly in rhombohedral Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT). Early reports suggest that the tilted octahedra may strongly affect the domain switching be ...
