Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) on preventing the leakage of cardiac damage biomarkers in patients undergoing vascular surgery. Methods: Randomised, sham-controlled, double-blinded, single-centre study has been carried...

Objectives: Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomenon that promotes protection of tissues and organs against ischaemia-reperfusion injury. RIPC has been shown to reduce myocardial and renal injury but its effect on arterial stiffness in patients undergoing lower limb digital subtraction...

Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator (EHA) has developed rapidly in airborne flight control systems due to its compact structure, high energy efficiency and easy control. However, because of the strong nonlinearity of EHA system and external uncertainties, simple PID control cannot achieve the ideal control...

The objective of this paper is to present how an actuator can be modeled with the Bond Graph method. A complete EHA (Electro-Hydraulic Actuator) is modeled by 20-sim, from the electrical power supply to the rod of hydraulic cylinder. By analyzing simulation results in 20-sim, the accuracy of the bond...

Bone quality is essential in dental implant planning for successful implant placement. Bone quality can be determined based on bone density observed from Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images which are commonly used in dental implant planning. The most accepted classification of alveolar bone quality...

Background: Essential hypertension is characterised by alterations in haemodynamics. Hence haemodynamic profiling could lead to improved blood pressure (BP) control in these patients. We tested if baseline haemodynamic indices predict the BP lowering effects of different classes of antihypertensive drugs...

This paper explores Indonesia's digital transformation of public services through the lens of Society 5.0, a human-centered approach integrating advanced technologies like Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance quality of life. The Sistem Pemerintahan Berbasis Elektronik(SPBE) and...

Background: Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an inhibitor of nitric oxide production and is associated with endothelial dysfunction. Elevated plasma levels of ADMA have been demonstrated in patients with hypertension. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between ADMA...

Background: Arterial stiffening is an independent predictor for cardiovascular mortality. Preliminary studies have shown that arterial calcification may have impact on increased vascular stiffness. However, little is known about the role of calcification inhibitor osteoprotegerin (OPG) as an independent...

Objective: Oxidative stress and vascular inflammation are increased in hypertension. These factors may contribute to target organ damage and increased cardiovascular risk in these patients. We studied the effect of four classes of antihypertensive drugs on oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in...

Objectives: This study examined relationships between lipidomic profile, arterial function and hemodynamics in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients and healthy controls. Methods: We studied 52 patients with CAD, 32 patients with PAD, and 40 apparently healthy...

Background: Perioperative acute kidney injury has been found to occur in 12% of patients undergoing lower limb revascularisation (Arora et al., 2013). The aim of the current double-blinded, randomised and sham-controlled pilot study was to determine the effect of remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC)...

An Electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) structure with joint of pump control and valve control is proposed for more electric aircraft (MEA) braking system, the working principle of the system is analyzed, and on the basis of that, the mathematical models of the system components are established. To compromise...
