Control strategies for exoskeleton gait training after stroke: understanding the importance of parameter tuning
(English) The control strategies implemented in exoskeletons play a crucial role in determining the interaction between the device and user. However, it is unclear what is the most suitable control strategy and settings ...
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, ...
Surgical subtask automation for intraluminal procedures using deep reinforcement learning
(English) Intraluminal procedures have opened up a new sub-field of minimally invasive surgery that use flexible instruments to navigate through complex luminal structures of the body, resulting in reduced invasiveness and ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Characterization and interpretation of cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory dynamics in cardiomyopathy patients
The main objective of this thesis was to study the variability of the cardiac, respiratory and vascular systems through electrocardiographic (ECG), respiratory flow (FLW) and blood pressure (BP) signals, in patients with ...
Optimal control prediction of assisted walking using torque-driven models : application to active orthosis simulation to assist individuals with spinal cord injury
Walking impairment after spinal cord injury leads to a decreased quality of life, other serious health conditions, and substantial health care costs. Consequently, gait restoration is a high priority among spinal cord-injured ...
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 ...
Statistical normalisation of network propagation methods for computational biology
The advent of high-throughput technologies and their decreasing cost have fostered the creation of a rich ecosystem of public database resources. In an era of affordable data acquisition, the core challenge has shifted to ...
Development of new algorithms for depth of anesthesia monitoring integrating cerebral blood flow estimations
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) reflects the rate of delivery of arterial blood to the brain. Since no nutrients, oxygen or water can be stored in the cranial cavity due to space and pressure restrictions, a continuous perfusion ...
Endurance races effects in non-elite runners by clinical biomarkers and bioimpedance measurements
Participation in marathons and ultra-endurance races is growing every day, but it is worrisome that these types of races are becoming mass events, where many runners are not sufficiently prepared. For example, in the 2017 ...
Advanced bioimpedance signal processing techniques for hemodynamic monitoring during anesthesia
Cardiac output (CO) defines the blood flow arriving from the heart to the different organs in the body and it is thus a primary determinant of global 02 transport. Cardiac output has traditionally been measured using ...
Caracterització morfològica de cèl·lules limfoides normals, reactives, anormals i blàstiques de sang perifèrica mitjançant processament digital d'imatges
The main objective of the present Doctoral Thesis is to obtain new quantitative features by means of digital image processing and machine learning for the differentiation of normal, reactive and malignant lymphoid cells ...
Enrichment of virtual screening results using induced-fit techniques
This thesis explains the design, development, test on the benchmarking dataset DUD-e and the application to an industrial virtual screening project of the PELE VS platform. The most common and quick tools used on virtual ...
Intrinsic osteoinduction and osteogenesis of biomimetic calcium phosphate scaffolds with different nano-, micro- and macroporosities : ectopic and orthotopic implantation in a canine model
The development of synthetic bone substitutes with enhanced osteogenic properties is urged by the global ageing population. Sintered calcium-phosphate (CaP) ceramics are the most widely used synthetic biomaterials for bone ...
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 ...
Noves estratègies per la millora de les característiques biològiques dels implants dentals
Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are currently the materials chosen for many dental applications, mainly due to their optimum biocompatibility and excellent mechanical properties. Despite the success rates of dental implants, ...
Cell derived-extracellular matrix scaffolds with polylactic acid microcarriers for tissue engineering and cell therapy
Organ shortage for transplantation and the need for new therapies for the treatment of tissular damages have driven the development of an exciting field in research, called tissue engineering (TE). Its potential entails ...
Study of longitudinal neurodegeneration biomarkers to support the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive and neurodegenerative disorder characterized by pathological brain changes starting several years before clinical symptoms appear. Earlier and accurate identification of those brain ...
