A computer-based analysis system was developed to display and analyze heart rate variability (HRV). ECG, oxygen saturation and respiratory signals (airflow, abdominal and thoracic movements), were used as raw data. The heart rate variability signal was derived from ECG by applying a Hilbert transform-based algorithm for reliable QRS complex detection. Following the guidelines suggested by the Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology and the North American Society for Pacing and Electrophysiology, appropriate time-domain and frequency-domain methods were used for HRV signal analysis. Autoregressive modeling of the HRV power spectrum was achieved by implementing the Burg algorithm. Three main spectral features were clearly distinguished in the heart rate variability signal spectrum from polysomnographic recordings of different sleep stages and were correlated with respiratory parameters. The integrated graphical user interface was developed using LabView and the signal processing algorithms were implemented using Matlab application programs. In this paper we present an overview of the system and analyze pilot data for two children undergoing nocturnal polysomnography. The pilot data demonstrated that the HRV analysis system may potentially distinguish between periods of normal and sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in children.

Mathematical modeling of the dynamic behavior of physical systems, gives computers that mimic the capabilities to intelligently monitor and predict their evolutionary characteristics. In this paper, we present a system for tracking the time-varying features of non-rigid objects in images of evolving scenes, using the elastic string model of planar contours, which permits the inference and prediction of the quantitative parameters that characterize evolutionary behavior. The goal of our work is to dynamically track non-rigid objects in video sequences, using object alignment techniques based on the properties of the elastic string. We present experimental results of growth cone and neurite tracking in cell growth and motion studies.
An earlier study investigated a technique to reconstruct in three-dimensions the path of a bullet through a skull, using the post-mortem X-rays of the victim and stock computed tomography (CT) data. This paper describ...

In clinical artificial intelligence (AI), graph representation learning, mainly through graph neural networks and graph transformer architectures, stands out for its capability to capture intricate relationships and structures within clinical datasets. With diverse data—from patient records to imaging—graph AI models process data holistically by viewing modalities and entities within them as nodes interconnected by their relationships. Graph AI facilitates model transfer across clinical tasks, enabling models to generalize across patient populations without additional parameters and with minimal to no retraining. However, the importance of human-centered design and model interpretability in clinical decision-making cannot be overstated. Since graph AI models capture information through localized neural transformations defined on relational datasets, they offer both an opportunity and a challenge in elucidating model rationale. Knowledge graphs can enhance interpretability by aligning model-driven insights with medical knowledge. Emerging graph AI models integrate diverse data modalities through pretraining, facilitate interactive feedback loops, and foster human–AI collaboration, paving the way toward clinically meaningful predictions.
