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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
(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, ...
(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
