Implementation and Calibration of a Deep Neural Network to Predict Parameters of Left Ventricular Systolic Function Based on Pulmonary and Systemic Arterial Pressure Signals

Simone Deparis, Luca Pegolotti, Jean Bonnemain

The evaluation of cardiac contractility by the assessment of the ventricular systolic elastance function is clinically challenging and cannot be easily obtained at the bedside. In this work, we present a framework characterizing left ventricular systolic f ...

A field-based modelling framework of the ecohydrology of schistosomiasis

Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Successful control of schistosomiasis, a water-borne parasitic disease, is challenged by the intricacy of the wormâs lifecycle, which depends on aquatic snail intermediate hosts, and involves environmental, ecologic, and socio-economic factors. Current s ...

Total arterial compliance estimated by a novel method and all-cause mortality in the elderly: the PROTEGER study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis

Aortic stiffness, assessed by carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), often fails to predict cardiovascular (CV) risk and mortality in the very elderly. This may be due to the non-linear association between PWV and compliance or to blood pressure dec ...

Privacy-Preserving Computation of Disease Risk by Using Genomic, Clinical, and Environmental Data

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jacques Fellay, Erman Ayday, Jean Louis Raisaro

According to many scientists and clinicians, genomics is the "next big thing" in the field of medicine. On one hand, decreasing costs in genome sequencing has been paving the way to better preventive and personalized medicine. On the other hand, genomic da ...

On the Estimation of Total Arterial Compliance from Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis

Total arterial compliance (C (T)) is a main determinant of cardiac afterload, left ventricular function and arterio-ventricular coupling. C (T) is physiologically more relevant than regional aortic stiffness. However, direct, in vivo, non-invasive, measure ...

Early Predictive Biomarkers for Lesion After Transient Cerebral Ischemia

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

Background and Purpose—Despite the improving imaging techniques, it remains challenging to predict the outcome early after transient cerebral ischemia. The aim of this study was thus to identify early metabolic biomarkers for outcome prediction. Methods—We ...

Numerical validation of a new method to assess aortic pulse wave velocity from a single recording of a brachial artery waveform with an occluding cuff

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Philippe Reymond, Bram Trachet, Patrick Segers

Recently a new method has been proposed as a tool to measure arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measure of the stiffness of the large arteries and an emerging parameter used as indicator of clinical cardiovascular risk. The method is based on measuremen ...

Biomechanical analysis of cerebral arteries

Edouard Fonck

The intent of this thesis is to study the function of elastin in cerebral arteries, its contribution into the aging process and its implication into different cerebral diseases and in particular cerebral aneurysms. As of today, little is known on the genes ...

Statins reduce interleukin-6-induced C-reactive protein in human hepatocytes: new evidence for direct antiinflammatory effects of statins

Didier Trono

OBJECTIVE: Besides its predictive role in determining cardiovascular risk, C-reactive protein (CRP) may exert direct proatherogenic effects through proinflammatory properties. CRP is mainly produced by hepatocytes in response to interleukin-6 (IL-6) and is ...

Ambulatory measurement of gait parameters in Parkinson's disease: Effects of subthalamic stimulation

Kamiar Aminian, Catherine Dehollain, Arash Salarian

Introduction: In this study the effect of subthalamic nucleus neep brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) on the gait parameters of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) was examined using an ambulatory gait analysis system based on miniature gyroscopes. The aim was ...
