Modeling in anesthesia.

TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to introduce the reader to some of the types of models that have been used to facilitate education and research in anesthesia and elucidate the steps involved in developing a model.

Numerical evaluation of volume pulsations in man. IV. The calculation of the human ballistocardiogram.

TL;DR: By a calculation based on well-known physiological and anatomical data, the human ultra-low frequency longitudinal displacement, velocity and acceleration ballistocardiograms of healthy subjects are predicted by calculating the movement of the body's centre of gravity during the cardiac cycle.

Effects of acquisition device, sampling rate, and record length on kinocardiography during position-induced haemodynamic changes

TL;DR: In this paper, the integral of kinetic energy obtained from the linear and rotational SCG/BCG signals was computed over each dimension over the cardiac cycle, and used as a marker of cardiac mechanical function.

The complex distribution of arterial system mechanical properties, pulsatile hemodynamics, and vascular stresses emerges from three simple adaptive rules.

TL;DR: This work employed a classical systemic arterial system model with 121 arterial segments and removed all parameter values except vessel lengths and peripheral resistances to identify the simplest set of universal adaptation rules that simultaneously predict observed mechanical properties, hemodynamics, and stresses throughout the human systemic arteria.

The effect of sedation on the abnormal ballistocardiogram of fatigue

TL;DR: An hypothesis is presented which suggests that the abnormal ballistocardiogram, characterized by a nonrepetitive pattern, reflects asynchrony between the heart and the body, which represents an added work load on the heart.

Some technics for recording the ballistocardiogram directly from the body

TL;DR: The motion of the body recorded by a sphygmograph applied to the head, by a photocell partly shaded by a ruler across the shins, or by a coil in a magnetic field provides a satisfactory ballistocardiogram.

Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?

Ue-frequency BCG ( natural frequency about 1 to 2 c/s ) represents the velocity of the center of gravity, provided that the damping is much more than critical.
