Heart rate variability
By definition, heart rate variability is the time between each heart beat. This is called the R-R interval and shows the beat modulation of the sino-atrial node whose time variation is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. This matters because sympathetic (fight or flight) or parasympathetic (rest and digest) activity governs cardiac dynamics. A higher…

Knowledge graphs
Knowledge graph is a way of representing information where entities/nodes (people, places, products, concepts) are linked by relationships/edges (works, creates, has ). It is a semantic network that captures facts and context. There is also an ontology that defines different types of node/edges and defines what types exist and how they relate. These are used…

Polyphenols
Polyphenols are a large family of naturally occurring compounds found in plants with two or more aromatic rings bearing one or more OH groups. They are divided into four main subclasses: Flavonoids : Quercetin (onions), catechin (tea), anthocyanins and kaempferol (Onions, berries, tea, dark chocolate) Phenolic acids: Caffeic acid, ferulic acid, ellagic acid, chlorogenic acid…

Obesity facts
Just some highlights to remember 50% of world population is thought to be obesity and thought to be a master switch for a variety of disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and kidney. 30-40% of Diabetics develop chronic kidney diseases and presence of albuminuria raises risk. 38% of adults have MASH with very…

Docker
Docker allows developers to deploy their applications in a sandbox to run on a host system with all the dependencies with a very low overhead. Typically that used to be done by virtual machines, but docker makes it more secure and faster without the virtual machine overload. Like any other complex system, there are many…

Sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is when sufferer stops breathing (apnea) at night as the muscles in the throat relax and then resumes when brain semi-awakes when the oxygen supply gets low to restore respiration. This happens tens to hundreds of times at night and can be debilitating when the disruption to sleep causes other health effects such…

New Molecule generation
There are many tools for generating new molecules needed for new drugs. Some are open source and other’s are made by companies as paid subscriptions or paid collaborations. These AI tools help in docking of a new chemical entity to the protein of interest, or they can also help in designing the chemical compound, DNA/RNA…

Default mode network
When we are not focused on a task, mind-wandering or just idling, specific regions of the brain such as medial pre frontal cortex, angular gyrus, hippocampus become activated and are called the default mode network. This is thought to be important for self referential thought, memory and future planning. It has been mapped with resting…

Measurement technology
One of the oldest measuring technology is the sextant. A small device that measures the angle of the sun at noon, can predict the latitude of the earth. It is also possible to figure out the longitude and from there the exact location. In the past, using the stars enabled figuring out the location with…
