[Objectives]: The aim of this work is to present a review on the impact of genetics and altitude on lung function from classic and recent studies. [Data source]: A systematic search has been carried out in different databases of scientific studies, using keywords relate...

This work presents a first approach to the design, development, and implementation of a smart device for the real-time measurement and detection of alterations in heart rate variability (HRV). The smart device follows a modular design scheme, which consists of an electr...

Non-oncologic chronic pain is a common high-morbidity impairment worldwide and acknowledged as a condition with significant incidence on quality of life. Pain intensity is largely perceived as a subjective experience, what makes challenging its objective measurement. Ho...
