Investigator: Ladislav Valkovič, Ústav merania, v. v. i., SAV Our non-invasive methods for energy metabolism assessment using phosphorus MR spectrscopy are ideal for treatment testing in patients, where cardaic or skeletal muscle metabolism is impaired. Hence in collaboration with Boeringer Ingelheim, we have tested the potential mecahnism of effect of their new sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitor…

Investigators: Viktor WITKOVSKÝ, Laura HAJZOKOVÁ , IMS SAS + foreign partners In 2023, our collaboration with researchers from the University of Montenegro contributed to advances in probabilistic modelling and numerical methods and algorithms for the computation of complex probability distributions, which are often encountered in the analysis of uncertainties in measurement results in various application…

Investigators: Viktor WITKOVSKÝ, Gejza WIMMER, Jr., Laura HAJZOKOVÁ , IMS SAS + foreign partners In 2023, we made further progress in pain research in collaboration with our partners. With EuroPainClinics, we investigated the impact of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy on the quality of life of 470 patients with sciatic syndrome. We were able to show…

Investigators: M.Keppert, M.Trutz, A.Kulišov, M.Janošíková a M.Hain In the Department of Optoelectronic Measurement Methods of the Institute of Measurement of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, a measurement system for automated measurement of the inclination of the reactor vessel of the fourth unit of the Mochovce nuclear power plant has been developed and put into trial…

Investigators: Jiří PŘIBIL, Anna PŘIBILOVÁ, Ivan Frollo Our research is focused on the analysis of the effects of scanning in NMR tomograph on the cardiovascular system of the examined person in order to find appropriate methods of their detection and quantification, designing measures for their minimization. The impact of stress effects on the human body…

Investigators: M. Majerová, D. Galusek, M. Michálková, A. Talimian, A. Prnová The research was focused on the development of a new type of aluminosilicate glasses and glass-ceramics with luminescent properties. The effect of Bi on the crystallization kinetics of the gelenite (2CaO-Al2O3-SiO2) glass was investigated. The obtained knowledge can be used in the preparation of…

Investigators: M. Škrátek, P. Billik Ag2O nanoparticles are an exceptional material that has great potential for biomedical applications due to its high cytotoxicity. Although the wet chemical synthesis of Ag2O nanoparticles is a particularly simple preparative technique, it is very difficult to obtain Ag2O in a concentrated state because the precipitation rate is difficult to…

Investigators: Jozef Klembara, Miroslav Hain Using modern digital imaging methods – photogrammetric scanning and virtual 3D imaging, the only known specimen of the early eureptile Coelostegus prothales from the Upper Carboniferous of the Czech Republic was described. Using these modern digital 3D imaging methods, new, highly detailed information on the structure of the individual bones…

Investigators: Beáta Ondrušová, Peter Tiňo, Jana Švehlíková This study addresses the non-invasive localization of cardiac abnormalities, specifically premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), through a newly proposed two-stage inversion solution for a dipole cardiac source. One of the inputs for solving the inversion problem is the surface potentials measured using a large number (128) of electrodes placed…

Investigators: Anna Krakovská, Martina Chvosteková, Jozef Jakubík Identifying causal relationships in measured time series is a research topic that we have been working on intensively for several years. This year we have focused on discovering causality in cases where traditional tools such as the Granger test, successful for example in autoregressive processes, are not applicable…
