Wearable Activity Trackers to Improve Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Risk in Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Pilot Study Open
Background/Objectives: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with elevated cardiovascular risk and mortality. While physical activity can reduce cardiovascular risk, sustaining behavioral change remains challenging. Wearable activity tracker…

AMPK-Targeting Effects of (−)-Epicatechin Gallate from Hibiscus sabdariffa Linne Leaves on Dual Modulation of Hepatic Lipid Accumulation and Glycogen Synthesis in an In Vitro Oleic Acid Model Open
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) begins with hepatic lipid accumulation and triggers insulin resistance. Hibiscus leaf extract exhibits antioxidant and anti-atherosclerotic activities, and is rich in (−)-epi…

On-Chip Quantum Sensing of Kondo Spins in a High-Mobility Quasi-One-Dimensional Nanoconstriction Open
The precise nature of Kondo spins has remained enigmatic when extended to multiple spin impurities or, more intriguingly, when the localized spin itself may already be the consequence of many-body interactions in a presumably delocalized o…

Predictors of secondary revascularization after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and role of dual antiplatelet therapy Open
Diabetes mellitus, younger age, fewer Internal mammary artery grafts, and the use of DAPT after CABG were strong predictors of the need for secondary revascularization.

Sudden cardiac death after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and role of antiplatelet therapy Open
Background While coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is effective in reducing the risk of myocardial infarction and subsequent cardiac events by improving myocardial perfusion, the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains nota…

Predictors of Secondary Revascularization after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Role of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Open
Background: Despite advancements in surgical techniques, interventional procedures, novel pharmacotherapies, and other contemporary treatments, patients’ post-CABG remain at risk for graft failure and progression of native CAD (4). Consequ…

Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Its Impact on Clinical Outcomes Open
The use of DAPT in elective CABG patients was associated with significantly higher survival rates and reduced incidences of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than aspirin monotherapy.

The aerodynamic load experienced by an igloo under varying wind angles Open
In this project, I investigated the aerodynamic load acting on an igloo structure when it is subjected to different wind angles. By using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations on COMSOL Multiphysics, I first analyzed a simple 2D c…

The Associations between Self-Determined Motivation, Multidimensional Self-Efficacy, and Device-Measured Physical Activity Open
Self-determined motivation (SDT) and self-efficacy theory have been widely used for understanding individuals’ physical activity motivation and self-efficacy. However, there is a gap of evidence on the relations between SDT and multidimens…

Effects of Exergames on Physical Fitness in Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Taiwan Open
Using exergaming for exercise training was found to improve physical fitness. Yet, few studies have used the “Xbox Kinect” to examine its effects on physical fitness in healthy middle-aged and older adults. The purpose of this study was to…
