An efficient sparse code shrinkage technique for ECG denoising using empirical mode decomposition.

Accurate denoising of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is essential for reliable cardiac diagnostics, but traditional methods often struggle with high-frequency noise and artifacts, leading to potential misinterpretations. It is often impeded by interference such as power line interference (PLI) and Gaussian noise. To address this challenge, we suggest a novel ECG denoising technique that combines empirical mode decomposition (EMD) with wavelet domain sparse code shrinking.

Revisiting Africa's Stroke Obstacles and Services (SOS).

Background: As one of the most common non-communicable diseases in Africa, Stroke ought to be dealt with properly with intensifying efforts to control its burden and to face obstacles in its management.

Methods And Results: In this follow-up study we reanalyzed stroke services and related obstacles in 17 African countries that were previously studied in 2021/22 in aspects related to manpower, acute stroke services, rehabilitation programs, number of stroke units/centers, telestroke services, awareness campaigns, and national and international stroke registries through a survey that was sent to stroke specialists and national stroke societies. Overall, there is an improvement in many fields yet many obstacles in the implementation of telestroke services, acute management, secondary prevention, post-discharge services, and follow-ups whether governmental, medical, or societal are prevalent.

Rational sonochemical engineering of AgCrO/g-CN heterojunction for eradicating RhB dye under full broad spectrum.

In this novel research, S-scheme AgCrO/g-CN heterojunctions were generated by sonochemical hybridization of different compositions of AgCrO nanoparticles [E = +2.21 eV] and g-CN sheets [E = -1.3 eV] for destructing RhB dye under artificial solar radiation.

Trends of Coagulation Parameters in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Patients.

HIV disease is recognized to cause inconsistencies in coagulation via various pathways during infection. Some studies have indicated that HIV-infected patients are prone to developing thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, or autoantibodies that may cause difficulties in diagnosis. This study is intended to measure the trend of coagulation parameters in Sudanese patients with HIV.

Potential Therapeutic Target and Vaccines for SARS-CoV-2.

The coronavirus has become the most interesting virus for scientists because of the recently emerging deadly SARS-CoV-2.
