    Covenantee:   Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron
    Infections caused by biofilm-forming bacteria are a major threat to hospitalized patients and the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis. There is an urgent necessity for novel therapeutic ...

  • Classification of patients undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation using the coherence between heart rate variability and respiratory flow signal” 

    Arcentales Viteri, Andrés Ricardo; Caminal Magrans, Pere; Diaz, Ivan; Benito Vales, Salvador; Giraldo Giraldo, Beatriz (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2015-05)
    Article
    Open Access
    Weaning from mechanical ventilation is still one of the most challenging problems in intensive care. Unnecessary delays in discontinuation and weaning trials that are undertaken too early are both undesirable. This study ...

  • Time-varying signal analysis to detect high-altitude periodic breathing in climbers ascending to extreme altitude 

    Garde, Ainara; Giraldo Giraldo, Beatriz; Jané Campos, Raimon; Latshang, T.D.; Turk, A.J.; Hess, T.; Bosch, M.M.; Barthelmes, D.; Merz, T. M.; Pichler Hefti, J.; Schoch, O.D.; Bloch, Konrad E. (2015-03)
    Article
    Open Access
    This work investigates the performance of cardiorespiratory analysis detecting periodic breathing (PB) in chest wall recordings in mountaineers climbing to extreme altitude. The breathing patterns of 34 mountaineers were ...

  • A multi-robot cooperation strategy for dexterous task oriented teleoperation 

    Hernansanz Prats, Alberto; Casals Gelpí, Alicia; Amat Girbau, Josep (2015-06-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    The use of multiple robots working cooperatively in a redundant way offers new possibilities in the execution of complex tasks in dynamic workspaces. The aim of this work is to increase the range of applicability of ...

  • An adaptive control strategy for postural stability using a wearable robot 

    Rajasekaran, Vijaykumar; Aranda López, Juan; Casals Gelpí, Alicia; Pons, Jose Luis (2015-11)
    Article
    Open Access
    Wearable robots are expected to expand the use of robotics in rehabilitation since they can widen the assistance application context. An important aspect of a rehabilitation therapy, in terms of lower extremity assistance, ...

  • Autoadaptive neurorehabilitation robotic system assessment with a post-stroke patient 

    Morales Vidal, Ricardo; Badesa Clemente, Francisco Javier; García Aracil, Nicolás; Aranda López, Juan; Casals Gelpí, Alicia (2015-01-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper presents a new rehabilitation system that is able to adapt its performance to patient's psychophysiological state during the execution of robotic rehabilitation tasks. Using this approach, the motivation and ...

  • A new relational geometric feature for human action recognition 

    Vinagre Ruiz, Manuel; Aranda López, Juan; Casals Gelpí, Alicia (Springer, 2015-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Pose-based features have demonstrated to outperform low-levelappearance features in human action recognition. New RGB-D cameras provide locations of human joints with which geometric correspondences can be easily calculated. ...

  • An interactive robotic system for human assistance in domestic environments 

    Vinagre Ruiz, Manuel; Aranda López, Juan; Casals Gelpí, Alicia (2014)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This work introduces an interactive robotic system for assistance, conceived to tackle some of the challenges that domestic environments impose. The system is organized into a network of heterogeneous components that share ...

    Robotic rehabilitation is an emerging technology in the field of Neurorehabilitation, which aims to achieve an effective patient recovery. This research focusses on the control strategy for an assistive exoskeleton aiming ...

  • Role of ECM/peptide coatings on SDF-1a triggered mesenchymal stromal cell migration from microcarriers for cell therapy 

    Levato, Riccardo; Planell Estany, Josep Anton; Mateos Timoneda, Miguel Ángel; Engel López, Elisabeth (2015-05-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Many cell therapies rely on the ability of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to diffuse and localize throughout the target tissue-such as tumoral and ischemic tissues-, in response to specific cytokine signals, rather than ...

  • Symbolic dynamic analysis of relations between cardiac and breathing cycles in patients on weaning trials 

    Caminal Magrans, Pere; Giraldo Giraldo, Beatriz; Vallverdú Ferrer, Montserrat; Benito Vales, Salvador; Schroeder, Rico; Voss, Andreas (2010)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Traditional time-domain techniques of data analysis are often not sufficient to characterize the complex dynamics of the cardiorespiratory interdependencies during the weaning trials. In this paper, the interactions between ...

  • Influence of fabrication parameters on cellular microarrays for stem cell studies
