Article Abstract
A multi-channel wearable heart sound visualization system based on novel heart sound sensors for imaging cardiac acoustic maps was developed and designed. The cardiac acoustic map could be used to detect cardiac vibration and heart sound propagation. The visualization system acquired 72 heart sound signals and one ECG signal simultaneously using 72 heart sound sensors placed on the chest surface and one ECG analog front end. The novel heart sound sensors had the advantages of high signal quality, small size, and high sensitivity. Butterworth filtering and wavelet transform were used to reduce noise in the signals. The cardiac acoustic map was obtained based on the cubic spline interpolation of the heart sound signals. The results showed the heart sound signals on the chest surface could be detected and visualized by this system. The variations of heart sounds were clearly displayed. This study provided a way to select optimal position for auscultation of heart sounds. The visualization system could provide a technology for investigating the propagation of heart sound in the thoracic cavity.

Rationale: Systemic sclerosis (SS) is an immune-mediated connective disease characterized by skin fibrosis, microvascular damage, and multisystem manifestations. One of the most important processes in connective tissue disorders is vasculitis. The clinical findings can differ when the disease is presented with an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody.

Heart sounds provide essential information about cardiac function; however, their clinical meaning and potential for minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring in real world clinical settings remain underexplored. This study assessed relationships between heart sound indices and hemodynamic parameters during liver transplant surgery. Data from 80 liver transplant recipients were analyzed across five procedural phases (approximately 1,680k cardiac beats).

Background: Chest examination alone may be insufficient to declare cardiorespiratory diseases specially in its early stages and/or silent forms, also it is impractical for the CXR and cardiac consultation to be requested for every patient in the outpatient clinic, therefore involving the chest US and FoCUS (Focused Cardiac Ultra Sound) examination in the bedside practice of outpatient chest clinic may influence the clinical diagnosis and management plan.
Objective: To determine how the bedside thoracic US including FoCUS can alter the clinical diagnosis in patients who are clinically diagnosed as acute bronchitis in the outpatient chest clinic.
Subjects And Methods: This study was conducted at Chest outpatient clinic, Al-Azhar University in the period between January 2024 to March 2025.
Background: Primary care providers (PCPs) are not successful in accurately identifying Still's murmur with no available clinical tools to aid in the process. Existing deep learning (DL) methods primaryly focused on adult pathological murmurs or murmur detection, lacking dedicated approaches for Still's murmur. Furthermore, the absence of a specialized database hampers the development and validation of AI models for pediatric populations.
