We discuss propagation of traveling waves in a blood filled elastic artery with an axially symmetric dilatation (an idealized aneurysm). The processes in the injured artery are modelled by equations for the motion of the wall of the artery…
A new method for analyzing arterial blood pressure is presented in this report. The technique is based on the scattering transform and consists in solving the spectral problem associated to a one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with a…
Objective: Acute intracranial hypertension is an important risk factor of secondary brain damage after traumatic brain injury. Hypertensive episodes are often diagnosed reactively, leading to late detection and lost time for intervention…
Our current understanding of brain rhythms is based on quantifying their instantaneous or time-averaged characteristics. What remains unexplored, is the actual structure of the waves -- their shapes and patterns over finite timescales. To…
Any ultrafast optical spectroscopy experiment is usually accompanied by the necessary routine of ultrashort-pulse characterisation. The majority of pulse characterisation approaches solve either a one-dimensional (e.g. via interferometry)…
Cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations are life-threatening hemodynamic pathologies of the brain. While surgical intervention is often essential to prevent fatal outcomes, it carries significant risks both during the procedure…
Cerebral autoregulation plays a key physiological role by limiting blood flow changes in the face of pressure fluctuations. Although the involved cellular processes are mechanically driven, the quantification of haemodynamic forces in…
We introduce a filter-construction method for pulse processing that differs in two respects from that in standard optimal filtering, in which the average pulse shape and noise-power spectral density are combined to create a convolution…
The local beat-to-beat local pulse pressure (PP) and blood pressure waveform of arteries, especially central arteries, are important indicators of the course of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Nevertheless, noninvasive measurement of them…
In this paper, we present an analytic solution for pulse wave propagation in a flexible arterial model with tapering, physiological boundary conditions and variable wall properties (wall elasticity and thickness). The change of wall…
We consider the inverse problem of estimating parameters of a driven diffusion (e.g., the underlying fluid flow, diffusion coefficient, or source terms) from point measurements of a passive scalar (e.g., the concentration of a pollutant).…
This paper concerns the inverse source scattering problems of recovering random sources for acoustic and elastic waves. The underlying sources are assumed to be random functions driven by an additive white noise. The inversion process aims…
Transcranial ultrasound imaging is currently limited by attenuation and aberration induced by the skull. First used in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), highly echoic microbubbles allowed for the development of novel imaging modalities…
New data was obtained for a frequency band that had not been so well-studied for sea surface probing applications before. During the described 2-weeks sea experiment 1-3 kHz tonal pulses were emitted from a platform, located on the northern…
The paper is devoted to the presentation of the non-spectral methods of analysis of the natural measurements of the internal gravity waves in the ocean with the purpose to determine characteristics of the wave-trains composing the measured…
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most common causes of death in the world. Prevention, knowledge of previous cases in the family, and early detection is the best strategy to reduce this fact. Different machine learning approaches to…
Cardiac diseases are one of the leading mortality factors in modern, industrialized societies, which cause high expenses in public health systems. Due to high costs, developing analytical methods to improve cardiac diagnostics is essential.…
Blood-volume-pulse (BVP) is a biosignal commonly used in applications for non-invasive affect recognition and wearable technology. However, its predisposition to noise constitutes limitations for its application in real-life settings. This…
A non-invasive method for the monitoring of heart activity can help to reduce the deaths caused by heart disorders such as stroke, arrhythmia and heart attack. The human voice can be considered as a biometric data that can be used for…
Morphology of cardiovascular tissue is influenced by the unsteady behavior of the blood flow and vice versa. Therefore, the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular diseases is directly affected by the blood-flow dynamics. Understanding flow…
