Background: There is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal surgical approach and
fixation method for distal biceps tendon ruptures. The purpose of this study was to conduct a …

Context: Patellar tendinopathy is a common condition. There are a wide variety of treatment
options available, the majority of which are nonoperative. No consensus exists on the …

Background: Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction of the elbow has become
increasingly more frequent among elite overhead athletes. The purpose of this study was to …

In this paper we explore the use of two low-oscillation complex wavelets—Mexican hat and
Morlet—as powerful feature detection tools for data analysis. These wavelets, which have …

Objective. To determine if an automatic algorithm using wavelet analysis techniques can be
used to reliably determine respiratory rate from the photoplethysmogram (PPG). Methods …

Objective The presence of respiratory information within the pulse oximeter signal (PPG) is a
well-documented phenomenon. However, extracting this information for the purpose of …

Recent work has attempted to utilize wavelet techniques in the analysis of biomedical
signals including ECGs. Here, the authors present an energy-based method of interrogating …

The problem of automatic beat recognition in the ECG is tackled using continuous wavelet
transform modulus maxima (CWTMM). Features within a variety of ECG signals can be …

Background: One of the most important limitations of standard pulse oximeters is the inability
to detect changes in respiratory rate until oxygenation is affected. This study sought to …

Respiratory rate is recognized as a clinically important parameter for monitoring respiratory
status on the general care floor (GCF). Currently, intermittent manual assessment of …
