A system that allows wireless transmitting photoplethysmographic signals (PPG signals) with the use of the GPRS network has been performed. The examined analog pulse waveforms were converted to digital signals and delivered to a transceiver RS232C-GPRS. Selected examples of results, which were obtained during investigations made on a number of real PPG signals, are presented.

The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of combining two methods: Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Adaptive Signal Enhancement for the improvement of normogastric rhythm extraction from multichannel recording of electrogastrographic signals (EGG). Unfortunately the electrogastrogram, is a transcutaneous measurement of gastric electrical activity, does not contain pure signal but usually is a sort of mixture from both electrical activity of stomach as well as other organs surrounding it and random noise. In order to benefit the diagnostic power of multichannel recording of EGG, which can provide deeper understanding of gastric disorders, it is necessity to extract gastric slow wave in each channel. One of the parameters, which are analyzed and require proper registration is so called normogastric rhythm. According to the literature, the normogastric rhythm should cover around 70% of rhythmic behavior of signal for a healthy man. Proper extraction of basic 3-cpm normogastric rhythm in each channel is a subject of this paper. Independent Component Analysis is applied for extracting the reference signal for adaptive filtering what next result in obtaining less contaminated signal in each channel. Analysis has been perform for two postprandial phases with five minutes break between them. In both mention cases proposed procedure gives a promising results.
Badania okulograficzne są nieinwazyjne, a sprzęt okulograficzny coraz bardziej dostępny, dlatego też rośnie jego popularność w diagnostyce medycznej oraz innych obszarach zastosowań. Artykuł prezentuje możliwości dotyczący zastosowania badań okulograficznych w diagnostyce chorób neurodegeneracyjnych takich jak Parkinson, czy Alzheimer. Autorka koncentruje się na przestawieniu charakterystyki badania okulograficznego, modelu detekcji podstawowych zdarzeń takich jak fiksacje i sakkady, a także na przykładach badań zaburzeń okoruchowych w wybranych chorobach neurodegeneracyjnych.

This work presents a literature review of the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) investiga-tions and applications in the biomedical field. The FrFT is a time-frequency analysis tool that has been used for signal and image processing due to its capability in capturing the nonstationary characteristics of real signals. Most biomedical signals are an example of such non-stationarity. Thus, the FrFT-based solutions can be formulated, aiming to enhance the health technology. As the literature review indicates, common applications of the FrFT involves signal detection, filtering and features extraction. Establishing adequate solutions for these tasks requires a proper fractional order estimation and implementing the suitable numeric approach for the discrete FrFT calculation. Since most of the reports barely describe the methodology on this regard, it is important that future works include detailed information about the implementation criteria of the FrFT. Although the applications in biomedical sciences are not yet among the most frequent FrFT fields of action, the growing interest of the scientific community in the FrFT, supports its practical usefulness for developing new biomedical tools.
