introduction:in this study, ecg signals have been embedded into medical images to create a novel blind watermarking method. the embedding is done when the original image is compressed using the ezw algorithm. the extraction process is performed at the decompression time of the watermarked image. materials and methods: the multi-resolution watermarking with a secret key algorithm developed in th...

in this study, we aimed to investigate reproductive performance in estrus-induced zandi ewes treated with equine chorionic gonadotrophin (ecg) injection in combination with prostaglandin f2α (pgf2α)and gonadotrophin releasing hormone (gnrh) during non-breeding season. the estrous cycle was synchronized using controlled internal drug release (cidr) for 12 days. the ewes were randomly assigned to...

After long-term exploration, it has been well established for the mechanisms of electrocardiogram (ECG) in health monitoring of cardiovascular system. Within the frame of an intelligent home healthcare system, our research group is devoted to researching/developing various mobile health monitoring systems, including the smart ECG interpreter. Hence, in this paper, we introduce a fuzzy classifie...

background: fetal electrocardiography is a developing field that provides valuable information on the fetal health during pregnancy. by early diagnosis and treatment of fetal heart problems, more survival chance is given to the infant. objective: here, we extract fetal ecg from maternal abdominal recordings and detect r-peaks in order to recognize fetal heart rate. on the next step, we find a b...

background: an electrocardiogram (ecg) can provide information on subclinical myocardial damage. the presence, and more importantly, the quantity of coronary artery calcification (cac), relates well with the overall severity of the atherosclerotic process. a strong relation has been demonstrated between coronary calcium burden and the incidence of myocardial infarction, a relation independent o...

Cholera enterotoxin (CT) and heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) produced by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli share a common antigenic determinant. In addition, CT and LT each have a unique antigenic determinant. Antisera were prepared by immunoaffinity chromatography against these unique antigenic determinants, that is, antiserum that reacted with CT but not with LT and antiserum that reacted with LT...
