Analysis of the Interlimb similarity of motor patterns for improving stroke assessment and neurorehabilitation
Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability, with upper limb hemiparesis being one of the most common consequences. Regaining voluntary arm movement is one of the major goals of rehabilitation. However, even with ...
Anàlisi de patrons funcional i estructurals en la regulació del calci en les cèl·lules cardíaques
In 2019 the data published by the World Health Organization showed that the cardiac ischemia is the first cause of death worldwide. These diseases are caused by irregularities of the contractile mechanism’s function, ...
Angular variation as a monocular cue for spatial percepcion
Monocular cues are spatial sensory inputs which are picked up exclusively from one eye. They are in majority static features that provide depth information and are extensively used in graphic art to create realistic ...
Automatic hands-free visualization of a six degrees of freedom agent within a complex anatomical space
(English) Over the years, a continuous development of intraluminal procedures resulted in strong benefits for the patients. Reduced blood loss, lower risk of infections, diminished scaring impact and quicker recovery time ...
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 ...
Biointerfaces based on the combination of synthetic polymers and biomolecules
During the last decades, research focused on the preparation of highly selective and smart materials has increased considerably. For instances, it has been possible to achieve intelligent drug nano-carriers, biomolecular ...
Clinical evaluation towards the development of a lower limb exoskeleton for people with spinal cord injury: from gait biomechanics to motor learning
(English) People with spinal cord injury (SCI) may suffer lifelong sequels that influence every aspect of their lives, including motor and/or sensory impairment, difficulty breathing and/or swallowing, bladder/bowel weakness, ...
Cognitive robot control strategies for complex surgical environments
(English) This thesis aims to contribute to the development of robotics autonomy in complex tasks based on the cognitive control paradigm. Cognition is a multidisciplinary approach aimed to provide robotic systems with ...
Computational fluid dynamics indicators to improve cardiovascular pathologies
In recent years, the study of computational hemodynamics within anatomically complex vascular regions has generated great interest among clinicians. The progress in computational fluid dynamics, image processing and ...
Contributions to Automatic and Unsupervised MRI Brain Tumor Segmentation: A New Fuzzy Approach
Brain tumors are part of a group of common, non-communicable, chronic and potentially lethal diseases affecting mostfamilies in Europe. Imaging plays a central role in brain tumor management, from detection and classification ...
Data preprocessing and quality diagnosis in deep learning-based in silico bioactivity prediction
Drug discovery is a time and resource consuming process involving the identification of a target and the exploration of suitable drug candidates for it. To streamline drug discovery, computational techniques help identifying ...
Fluid-electro-mechanical model of the human heart for supercomputers
The heart is a complex system. From the transmembrane cell activity to the spatial organization in helicoidal fibers, it includes several spatial and temporal scales. The heart muscle is surrounded by two main tissues that ...
Machine learning methods for the analysis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry datasets in metabolomics
Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) instruments are widely used in Metabolomics. To analyse their output, it is necessary to use computational tools and algorithms to extract meaningful biological information. ...
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 ...
Multiscale image analysis of calcium dynamics in cardiac myocytes
Cardiac myocytes constitute a unique physiological system. They are the muscle cells that build up heart tissue and provide the force to pump blood by synchronously contracting at every beat. This contraction is regulated ...
Multiview pattern recognition methods for data visualization, embedding and clustering
Multiview data is defined as data for whose samples there exist several different data views, i.e. different data matrices obtained through different experiments, methods or situations. Multiview dimensionality reduction ...
Muscular pattern based on multichannel surface EMG during voluntary contractions of the upper-limb
Extraction of neuromuscular information is an important and extensively researched issue in biomedical engineering. lnformation on muscle control can be used in numerous human-machine interfaces and control applications, ...
Serum potassium concentration monitoring by ECG time warping analysis on the T wave
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients demonstrate an increased incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) with declining kidney functioning as a consequence of blood potassium ([K+]) homeostasis impairment, which is restored ...
Simulation of mechanoregulation and tissue differentiation in calcium phosphate scaffolds for tissue engineering
Los estímulos mecánicos son uno de los factores que afectan a la diferenciación celular en el proceso de regeneración del tejido óseo, por lo tanto, en el desarrollo de andamios para ingeniería de tejidos, se pueden aplicar ...
Skeletal representations of orthogonal shapes
Skeletal representations are important shape descriptors which encode topological and geometrical properties of shapes and reduce their dimension. Skeletons are used in several fields of science and attract the attention ...
