The Importance of ECG Offset Correction for Noninvasive Premature Ventricular Contraction Origin Localization from Clinical Data

Investigators: Jana Švehlíková, Anna Přibilová, Ján Zelinka, Beáta Ondrušová, Katarína Kromková, Peter Hlivák, Robert Hatala, Milan Tyšler The input data for localization of the source of premature ventricular activity (PKA) were averaged ECG signals obtained from a 5-20 minute recording of multi-lead ECG measured in 14 patients diagnosed with PKA. During its standard processing, the…

New method for spectral-spatial encoding using a concentric ring trajectory for rapid cardiac metabolism assessment

Investigators: Ladislav Valkovič, Ivan Frollo   Alterations in cardiac metabolism are indicative of several diseases. Current data acquisition methods of phosphorus MR spectroscopy (31P-MRS) are even at 7T systems too slow to allow investigations of dynamicchanges or measurements under stress. Therefore, we have developed a new method of spectraspatial encoding, which substitutes typical Cartesian sampling with…

Biomedical research on the effects of the electromagnetic field at the cellular and subcellular level

Investigators: Michal Teplan, Hoang Vu Viet In the area of ​​the effect of pulsed electric fields (PEF) on sub-cellular structures, we investigated the manipulation of microtubules (MT) using PEF. In cooperation with ÚFE AVČR, we created new statistical measures for measuring MT movement for images from the “single molecule TIRF” microscope, which we called “microtubule…

Exploring cortical coding of endogenous chronic pain and effective pain relief strategies

Investigators: Viktor WITKOVSKÝ, Gejza WIMMER, Jr., Laura HAJZOKOVÁ Institute of SAS Measurement, v.v.i. + foreign partners In collaboration with our partners, we investigated the problem of understanding endogenous chronic pain with the aim of finding and elucidating mechanisms to alleviate suffering. Therefore, we focused on studying the course of brain activity in patients with migraine…
