Article Abstract
Although previous studies have shown the successful use of pressure-induced reactive hyperemia as a tool for the assessment of endothelial function, its sensitivity remains questionable. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and sensitivity of a novel multiscale entropy index (MEI) in detecting subtle vascular abnormalities in healthy and diabetic subjects. Basic anthropometric and hemodynamic parameters, serum lipid profiles, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels were recorded. Arterial pulse wave signals were acquired from the wrist with an air pressure sensing system (APSS), followed by MEI and dilatation index (DI) analyses. MEI succeeded in detecting significant differences among the four groups of subjects: healthy young individuals, healthy middle-aged or elderly individuals, well-controlled diabetic individuals, and poorly controlled diabetic individuals. A reduction in multiscale entropy reflected age- and diabetes-related vascular changes and may serve as a more sensitive indicator of subtle vascular abnormalities compared with DI in the setting of diabetes.

Accurate differentiation between persistent vegetative state (PVS) and minimally conscious state and estimation of recovery likelihood in patients in PVS are crucial. This study analyzed electroencephalography (EEG) metrics to investigate their relationship with consciousness improvements in patients in PVS and developed a machine learning prediction model. We retrospectively evaluated 19 patients in PVS, categorizing them into two groups: those with improved consciousness ( = 7) and those without improvement ( = 12).

Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with acute postoperative effects that increase the risk of falls. These effects differ between the medial parapatellar (PP) and mid-vastus (MV) surgical techniques but have not been evaluated in terms of postural sway complexity. Loss of this complexity leads to increased randomness in the center of pressure and higher fall risk.

Signal complexity analysis plays a crucial role in biomedical research, particularly in electroencephalography (EEG), for early disease diagnosis and cognitive monitoring. However, traditional entropy-based methods lack robustness, suffer from limitations such as sensitivity to noise, and fail to capture the multi-frequency structure of brain signals. To address these challenges, this study introduces Multivariate Multiscale Multi-Frequency Entropy (M3FrEn), a novel complexity metric that simultaneously incorporates multiscale dynamics, multichannel dependencies, and multi-frequency structure into a unified entropy-based framework.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting ~50 million patients worldwide (30% refractory cases) with complex dynamical behavior governed by nonlinear differential equations. Seizures severely impact patients' quality of life and may lead to serious complications. As a primary diagnostic tool, electroencephalography (EEG) captures brain dynamics through non-stationary time series with measurable chaotic and fractal properties.

Misalignment is among the most frequent mechanical faults in rotating electrical machines, often resulting in partial or complete motor failure over time. To tackle this issue, the present study proposes an innovative methodology for diagnosing misalignment faults in rotating electrical machines. The method integrates the dual-tree complex wavelet transform with a refined composite multiscale fluctuation dispersion entropy algorithm (DTCWT-RCMFDE) for feature extraction, combined with the least-squares support vector machines algorithm (LSSVM) for fault classification.
