Arterial hypertension and COVID-19 in Arctic rotating shift work: the impact of chronostructure disruptions on circadian blood pressure rhythm in relation to echocardiographic para... by Nina P. Shurkevich, Aleksandr S. Vetoshkin, Maria A. Kareva, Denis G. Gubin

“…Results – Logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of the “Aperiodic AH” chronotype was associated with a threefold increase in the odds of contracting COVID-19, while a 1 g/m² increase in the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) increased these odds by a factor of 1.02. One year post-COVID-19, individuals with “Aperiodic AH”, in contrast to those with “MESOR AH”, exhibited increases in right atrial and inferior vena cava diameters, systolic pulmonary artery pressure, tricuspid regurgitation velocity, stroke volume, and cardiac output, as well as a more pronounced increase in left ventricular mass and LVMI. …”

A Self-Interpretable Deep Learning Model for Seizure Prediction Using a Multi-Scale Prototypical Part Network by Yikai Gao, Aiping Liu, Lanlan Wang, Ruobing Qian, Xun Chen

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that develops a self-interpretable deep learning model for seizure prediction, other than the existing post hoc interpretation studies. Our proposed model is evaluated on two public epileptic EEG datasets (CHB-MIT: 16 patients with a total of 85 seizures, Kaggle: 5 dogs with a total of 42 seizures), with a sensitivity of 93.8% and a false prediction rate of 0.054/h in the CHB-MIT dataset and a sensitivity of 88.6% and a false prediction rate of 0.146/h in the Kaggle dataset, achieving the current state-of-the-art performance with self-interpretable evidence.…”
