The neonatal oxycardiorespirogram.

Abstract

The neonatal oxycardiorespirogram is the simultaneous recording of respiration rate, respiration waveform, instantaneous heart rate, transcutaneous oxygen tension, and relative skin perfusion or "blood flow" from newborn infants. It is important in monitoring the high risk infant to assess the cardiovascular and respiratory function of the patient. The techniques for obtaining the various signals of the oxycardiorespirogram are reviewed and the usual method for making this recording is presented. Several examples of typical oxycardiorespirograms are given.

In-shoe biaxial shear force measurement: the Kent shear system.

The Kent shear system is introduced and preliminary clinical results are presented. A technique utilising copolymer piezoelectric film has allowed the manufacture of biaxial in-shoe transducers capable of simultaneously measuring two orthogonal shear forces. Bipedal measurements are carried out inside everyday footwear over multiple footsteps.

Descriptive multidimensional statistical methods for analysing signals in a multifactorial biomedical database.

A methodology is presented to analyse multidimensional signals from several recording periods resulting from an experimental study on human or other living systems. The methodology is divided into two stages: intra-period analysis and inter-period analysis. The purpose of the first stage is to highlight general trends in multidimensional signal changes and the more informative components of the signals. The purpose of the second stage is to assess the influence of environmental or individual difference factors on a given signal component that appears to be discriminant in the first stage. To take into account the multivariable state of the system and the multi-observational aspect, a multidimensional descriptive statistical approach is used. The methods are correspondence analysis and hierarchical clustering. They are illustrated through an occupational medicine application from a study of sedentary posture.
