Bowel sounds is an important physiological parameter of distinguishing the gastrointestinal
motility dysfunction. Auscultation of bowel sounds provides a noninvasive way for clinical …

Auscultation of bowel sounds provides a noninvasive method to the diagnosis of
gastrointestinal motility diseases. However, bowel sounds can be easily contaminated by …

The application of the wavelet transform-fractal dimension-based (WT-FD) filter of Part I of
this paper to real bioacoustic data, which include explosive lung sounds (ELS) and …

Rhythmic signals from physiological systems usually have memory and long-term
correlation. They can be modeled as fractional Brownian motion or fractional Gaussian …

A bowel sound signal is very significant to clinical diagnosis of diseases, but it is a weak,
non-stable and aperiodic signal generated under a strong noisy background. How to filter …

Fractal dimension, as a common nonlinear dynamics metric, is extensively applied in
biomedicine, fault diagnosis, underwater acoustics, etc. However, traditional fractal …

An efficient method for the enhancement of bowel sounds (BS), based on kurtosis is
presented in this paper. The proposed method employs an iterative procedure to compose a …

Bowel sound (BS) is a biological audio signal stemming from peristaltic activity of intestines.
We investigate the effects of a kind of foods on BS as the first attempt to develop a design …

Many patients worldwide suffer from constipation, which reduces their quality of life (QOL)
over the long term. Carbonated water intake is expected to improve constipation by …

We propose a simple and effective method of characterizing complexity of EEG-signals for
monitoring the depth of anaesthesia using Higuchi's fractal dimension method. We …
