The article presents the reply of W. T. Lee and colleagues concerning an opinion by Frederick Trinkmann and others to their study on treatment response in precapillary pulmonary hypertension using non-invasive haemodynamic measurements. It discusses the mechanisms which contributes to resting arterial hypoexaemia and exercise desaturation seen in pulmonary hypertension patients. It comments that the techniques for measuring carbon dioxide suggested by Trinkmann are not suitable for PH patients.

Modern cameras can cut passengers’ faces into boxes in 0.04 s per frame in parallel without time stamps. Unfortunately, that creates random storage without the tracking capability, and one can no longer meet the 5 Ws challenge—“who speaks what, where and when.” We develop a time-order reconstruction methodology which sorts the boxes as follows. i. A morphological image preprocessing to overcome the facial changes is based on the peripheral invariance of a human visual system when focusing on a maximum overlapping central region. ii. Replacing the Wiener matched filter desired output with an averaged but blurred long exposure, one can select the best matched sharp short exposures called the anchor faces ’s. iii. The time-order neighborhood chaining is done by an iterative self-affirmation logic that demands a mutually agreed-upon minimum distance: whether or not the two nearest neighbors of , namely face A and face C, also consider to be their two nearest neighbors. The reconstruction procedure mathematically amounts to a product of two triple correlation functions sharing an intermediate state. We have thus demonstrated the time-order helps us associate a video submanifold with the acoustic manifold that solves the 5 Ws challenge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
