Improvements in the registration of multimodal medical imaging : application to intensity inhomogeneity and partial volume corrections
Alignment or registration of medical images has a relevant role on clinical diagnostic and treatment decisions as well as in research settings. With the advent of new technologies for multimodal imaging, robust registration ...
Methods for noninvasive localization of focal epileptic activity with magnetoencephalography
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a noninvasive brain signal acquisition technique that provides excellent temporal resolution and a whole-head coverage allowing the spatial mapping of sources. These characteristics make MEG ...
Nanoengineering approaches for guiding cellular behavior
Tissue engineering aims to replace restore or help regeneration of injured tissue or organ with scaffolds that mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). The design of such scaffolds requires deeper understanding of the ...
Contributions to the development and validation of fMRI-based biomarkers for drug discovery in social anxiety disorder
This document presents the theoretical background and experimental work made to develop and validate a set of experiments based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). These experiments are aimed to demonstrate ...
Development of devices and techniques for electroporation and electrical impedance spectroscopy analysis of adherent cells
The present PhD dissertation is focused on the design and implementation of a microelectrode system capable of performing electroporation and electrical impedance measurements to adherent cell monolayers cultured in standard ...
Development of antibacterial coatings for titanium dental implants based on different strategies
Tanto el titanio como sus aleaciones son usados como biomateriales por sus excelentes propiedades mecánicas, biocompatibilidad y resistencia a la corrosión. Sin embargo, el fracaso a medio y largo plazo de los implantes ...
Multichannel analysis of normal and continuous adventitious respiratory sounds for the assessment of pulmonary function in respiratory diseases
Respiratory sounds (RS) are produced by turbulent airflows through the airways and are inhomogeneously transmitted through different media to the chest surface, where they can be recorded in a non-invasive way. Due to ...
Contribució a l'estudi dels conjunts extensionals de les relacions d'indistingibilitat i la seva aplicació a la representació d'imatges de ressonància magnètica
This thesis can be summarized in the following sentence: All scientific models, for instance structural atlases of brain MRI, can be read in terms of fuzzy extensional sets. The work done in this doctoral thesis backs up ...
Contribution to the development of methods and systems for the automatization during the early stages of bioprocess development
This thesis is framed within the field of red biotechnology and more specifically in the development of bioprocesses for cell species that feature some therapeutical interest, either for the production of vaccines and ...
Computational representation and discovery of transcription factor binding sites
The information about how, when, and where are produced the proteins has been one of the major challenge in molecular biology. The studies about the control of the gene expression are essential in order to have a better ...
Identification, synchronisation and composition of user-generated videos
The increasing availability of smartphones is facilitating people to capture videos of their experience when attending events such as concerts, sports competitions and public rallies. Smartphones are equipped with inertial ...
Biomimetic hydrogels for in situ bone tissue engineering : nature-inspired crosslinking methods as a tool to tune scaffold physical properties
The global incidence of bone fractures, and subsequently that of non-healing ones, is expected to rise in the coming decades, mostly due to an increased risk of age-related conditions. Currently, the biomaterials field is ...
Adaptive control for wearable robots in human-centered rehabilitation tasks
Robotic rehabilitation therapies have been improving by providing the needed assistance to the patient, in a human-centered environment, and also helping the therapist to choose the necessary procedure. This thesis presents ...
Análisis de la interacción cardíaca y respiratoria en pacientes con cardiomiopatía y pacientes en proceso de extubación
Study and evaluation of patients with heart failure related with ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy is interesting for the clinical practice. Similarly, the analysis of the behavior of the respiratory system of patients ...
Bioinformatics methods for the genomics and metabolomics analysis of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases
During the last decade, genomics have been widely used to the characterization of the molecular basis of common diseases. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been highly successful in characterizing the genetic ...
Methods and models in signal processing for gait analysis using waist-worn accelerometer : a contribution to Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that predominantly alters patients' motor performance and compromises the speed, the automaticity and fluidity of natural movements. After some years, patients fluctuate ...
Methodology for automatic classification of atypical lymphoid cells from peripheral blood cell images
Morphological analysis is the starting point for the diagnostic approach of more than 80% of the hematological diseases. However, the morphological differentiation among different types of abnormal lymphoid cells in ...
Optimization and muscle synergy approaches for studying muscle redundancy during walking
The human body is an over-actuated multibody system, as each joint degree of freedom can be controlled by more than one muscle. Usually, optimization techniques are used to solve the muscle force sharing problem, that is, ...
Nanomaterials based microarray platforms for biodetection
Analytical disciplines are an important field for the progress of healthcare and medicine. In fact the technologies related to analytical disciplines may reveal important information for early diagnosis, treatment of ...
Injectable biodegradable carriers for the delivery of therapeutic agents and tissue engineering
The design of smart biomaterial devices plays a key role to improve the way conventional therapies are being delivered, and to promote the development of new approaches for advanced therapies, such as regenerative medicine ...
