Forewarned Is Forearmed: Machine Learning Algorithms for the Prediction of Catheter-Induced Coronary and Aortic Injuries
PublicationCatheter-induced dissections (CID) of coronary arteries and/or the aorta are among the most dangerous complications of percutaneous coronary procedures, yet the data on their risk factors are anecdotal. Logistic regression and five more advanced machine learning techniques were applied to determine the most significant predictors of dissection. Model performance comparison and feature importance ranking were evaluated. We identified...

Effect of Vascular Lumen Reduction on the Performance and Energy Consumption of an Innovative Implantable LVAD
PublicationThis paper presents the results of a study on the effect of vascular lumen reduction on the performance of an innovative implantable LVAD (left ventricular assist device). It details the pressures in the individual cardiac chambers as a function of device frequency. In addition, mass flow rates and energy consumption of the device are examined, varying with lumen reduction and operating frequency. While the lumen reduction of the...

Modelling of Diffusing Capacity Measurement Results in Lung Microangiopathy Patients. A novel Diagnostic Suppport
PublicationLung microangiopathy is a little known negative influence of diabetes mellitus on the functioning of the lungs. The aim of this study is to design a supportive method for diagnosing lung microangiopathy. This will be based on routinely performed pulmonary measurements as well as on investigation process modelling and data processing. A model of the diffusion of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood has been described with a set...

Znajomość własnego ciśnienia tętniczego i rozpowszechnienie nadciśnienia tętniczego w populacji wiejskiej - Program Kiełpino = The cognizance of patient's own blood pressure values and the hypertension prevalence among rural population - Kiełpino program
PublicationNadciśnienie tętnicze jest jedną z najczęstszych chorób przewlekłych występujących w Polsce. Nieleczone nadciśnienie tętnicze prowadzi do licznych powikłań, jest przyczyna przedwczesnej umieralności, wpływa na pogorszenie komfortu życia pacjenta i zwiększa koszty leczenia. Ocena znajomości własnego ciśnienia tętniczego krwi oraz rozpowszechnienia nadciśnienia tętniczego u pacjentów w wiejskiej praktyce lekarza rodzinnego - jest...

Modelling of spirometry - the application for diagnostic purposes
PublicationThe process of the tissue oxygen supply is the fundamental process of the human life. The lung functioning consists of three processes: the ventilation, the perfusion and the diffusion. The paper deals with one of these processes which is the ventilation process. The quality of the pulmonary ventilation has a strong influence on the patient's health condition. Numerous limitations are imposed on conditions of the lung quality measurement,...

Mitochondrial DNA copy number and trimethylamine levels in the blood: New insights on cardiovascular disease biomarkers
PublicationAmong cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers, the mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) is a promising candidate. A growing attention has been also dedicated to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), an oxidative derivative of the gut metabolite trimethylamine (TMA). With the aim to identify biomarkers predictive of CVD, we investigated TMA, TMAO, and mtDNAcn in a population of 389 coronary artery disease...

Result of the 6-min walk test is an independent prognostic factor of surgically treated non-small-cell lung cancer
PublicationPathological tumour, node and metastasis (TNM) stage remains the most significant prognostic factor of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Meanwhile, age, gender, pulmonary function tests, the extent of surgical resection and the presence of concomitant diseases are commonly used to complete the prognostic profile of the patient with early stage of NSCLC. The aim of this study is to assess how the result of a 6-min walk test (6MWT)...

Visualizing Carotid Bodies With Doppler Ultrasound Versus CT Angiography: Preliminary Study
PublicationOBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the utility of ultrasound in identifying carotid bodies (CBs) in patients with drug-resistant arterial hypertension. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. We enrolled 13 patients with drug-resistant hypertension into a trial for surgical CB excision. CT angiography (CTA) and Doppler ultrasound (DUS) of the cervical arteries were performed before surgery. CBs were identified in a blind manner...

Ischemic stroke in general practice - risk factors, prognosis - prospective single center study
PublicationBackground. Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in Poland, in the European Union and in the United States. Awareness related to the risk factors, particularly the modifiable ones, is of crucial importance in general practice and may improve early and long-term prognoses. Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess the risk factors and half-year survival rate in patients with ischemic stroke...

Literature update of analytical methods for biogenic amines determination in food and beverages
PublicationBiogenic amines (BAs) have been reported in a variety of foods, such as fish, meat, cheese, and wines. The formation of BAs in food by the microbial decarboxylation of amino acids can result in human allergic reactions, characterized by difficulty in breathing, rash, vomiting, and hypertension. Control measures to prevent biogenic amine formation in foods and/or reduce their levels should be considered. Therefore, monitoring of...

Sleep Apnea Detection by Means of Analyzing Electrocardiographic Signal
PublicationObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition of cyclic, periodic ob-struction (stenosis) of the upper respiratory tract. OSA could be associated with serious cardiovascular problems, such as hypertension, arrhythmias, hearth failure or peripheral vascular disease. Understanding the way of connection between OSA and cardiovascular diseases is important to choose proper treatment strategy. In this paper, we present a method for integrated...
