Neuromuscular function assessment through EMG in using hybrid learning in real-time
(English) Understanding and accurately analyzing electromyography (EMG) signals is paramount for a multitude of applications ranging from muscular function assessment to neural decoding and interfacing. The general objective ...
Development of antibacterial, antiresorptive and osteogenic gallium and silver doped titanium implants
(English) The augment in life expectancy has motivated the increase or degenerative disorders, especially in our bones. The skeleton provides us protection and support; however, with aging, bones can undergo an imbalance ...
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 ...
PyMCGPU-IR: a new tool for patient dose monitoring in interventional radiology procedures
(English) Interventional radiology procedures are associated with potentially high radiation doses to the skin. The 2013/59/EURATOM Directive establishes that the equipment used for interventional radiology must have a ...
3D-printed biomimetic bone
(English) Over 2 million bone grafting procedures are performed each year. In the last years, synthetic calcium phosphates have drawn the attention of the researchers for their close similarity to the mineral phase of bone ...
Novel mHealth and multimodal physiological biomarkers for non-invasive monitoring and home healthcare of obstructive sleep apnea and COPD patients with comorbidities
(English) Sleep is a physiological state of rest that occupies one-third of a person’s daily activity and has health consequences. Poor sleep disrupts concentration and productivity and increases the odds of developing ...
Cold plasma-derived oxidative stress for osteosarcoma therapy
(English) This thesis is framed in the ERC Starting Grant Project “Atmospheric Pressure plAsma meets biomaterials for bone Cancer HEaling (APACHE)”. The APACHE Project aims at evaluating plasma technology as therapy against ...
Development of an in vitro three-dimensional colorectal cancer model using cell-derived extracellular matrices
(English) Oncogenic pathologies are the second leading cause of death worldwide only after cardiovascular diseases. It is estimated that, by 2030, the number of patients diagnosed with this disease will increase by nearly ...
Nanotechnology-based approaches for bone tissue engineering
(English) Substantial research efforts in the field of tissue engineering have been done in the recent years to overcome the bone regeneration limitations of the human body and to treat bone-related pathologies like ...
Temporal and frequency differentiation of healthy and pathological lung tissue through minimally invasive electrical impedance spectroscopy
(English) Respiratory diseases, along with heart diseases, are the most prevalent in the world. The acquisition of lung samples is essential for a correct diagnosis of the disease. For peripheral lesions it is not easy to ...
Improving the performance of synthetic and biomimetic 3D-printed bone grafts
(English) Bone is the second most frequent tissue transplantation right after blood transfusion. Although it has natural self-healing abilities, bone grafts are required in critical size defects to provide mechanical ...
Promoting cardiac regeneration by biomimetic microenvironments
(English) Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in the world. The heart has a very limited regeneration capacity. Thus, following tissue damage – e.g., myocardial infarction –, heart transplantation ...
Caracterització multiescala de dades fisiològiques en la cardiologia translacional
(English) This thesis aims to explore cardiac cell physiology across various scales, also known as translational cardiology. The research employs novel computational techniques from Biomedical engineering and utilizes ...
US signal and image monitoring and diagnosis using computer vision and deep learning
(English) This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation of the reliability and efficacy of Ultra-Sound (US) signals and images for remote monitoring and early diagnosis in medical applications. The main objective of ...
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 ...
