Associations of genetic and infectious risk factors with coronary heart disease

Jacques Fellay, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Zhi Ming Xu, Roxane De La Harpe

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most pressing health problems of our time and a major cause of preventable death. CHD results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Using multiplex serological testing for persistent ...

Leukocyte Count and Coronary Artery Disease Events in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: A Longitudinal Study

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Leukocyte count is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) events in the general population. Here we show that leukocytes are independently associated with CAD events in people with HIV in Switzerland, after adjusting for traditional and HIVrelated r ...

Predicting type 2 diabetes risk before and after solid organ transplantation using polygenic scores in a Danish cohort

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can be multifactorial where both genetics and environmental factors play a role. We aimed to investigate the use of polygenic risk scores (PRS) in the prediction of pre-transplant T2DM and post-transplant diabetes mellitus ( ...

Clinical value of assessing motor performance in postacute stroke patients

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Fabien Massé

Background Rehabilitative treatment plans after stroke are based on clinical examinations of functional capacity and patient-reported outcomes. Objective information about daily life performance is usually not available, but it may improve therapy personal ...

On the assessment of arterial compliance from carotid pressure waveform

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Georgios Rovas, Vasiliki Bikia, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou, Patrick Segers

In a progressively aging population, it is of utmost importance to develop reliable, noninvasive, and cost-effective tools to estimate biomarkers that can be indicative of cardiovascular risk. Various pathophysiological conditions are associated to changes ...

Non-invasive monitoring of key hemodynamical and cardiac parameters using physics-based modelling and artificial intelligence

Vasiliki Bikia

In a progressively aging population, it is of utmost importance to develop reliable, non-invasive, and cost-effective tools to estimate biomarkers that can be indicative of cardiovascular risk. Clinical parameters directly measured in the heart or the aort ...

Heart Rate Variability Triangular Index as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Schlageter

Background Impaired heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased mortality in sinus rhythm. However, HRV has not been systematically assessed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that parameters of HRV may be predictive o ...

HIV host genomics in the era of effective antiretroviral therapy

Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

The introduction and widespread use of antiretroviral therapy against Human Immunodefi-ciency Virus (HIV) has had a remarkable effect on disease progression and the longevity of infected individuals. However, the establishment of a latent viral reservoir a ...

Implementation and Calibration of a Deep Neural Network to Predict Parameters of Left Ventricular Systolic Function Based on Pulmonary and Systemic Arterial Pressure Signals

Simone Deparis, Luca Pegolotti, Jean Bonnemain

The evaluation of cardiac contractility by the assessment of the ventricular systolic elastance function is clinically challenging and cannot be easily obtained at the bedside. In this work, we present a framework characterizing left ventricular systolic f ...

A field-based modelling framework of the ecohydrology of schistosomiasis

Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Successful control of schistosomiasis, a water-borne parasitic disease, is challenged by the intricacy of the wormâ s lifecycle, which depends on aquatic snail intermediate hosts, and involves environmental, ecologic, and socio-economic factors. Current s ...

Total arterial compliance estimated by a novel method and all-cause mortality in the elderly: the PROTEGER study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis

Aortic stiffness, assessed by carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), often fails to predict cardiovascular (CV) risk and mortality in the very elderly. This may be due to the non-linear association between PWV and compliance or to blood pressure dec ...

Privacy-Preserving Computation of Disease Risk by Using Genomic, Clinical, and Environmental Data

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jacques Fellay, Erman Ayday, Jean Louis Raisaro, Paul Jack Mc Laren

According to many scientists and clinicians, genomics is the "next big thing" in the field of medicine. On one hand, decreasing costs in genome sequencing has been paving the way to better preventive and personalized medicine. On the other hand, genomic da ...

On the Estimation of Total Arterial Compliance from Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis

Total arterial compliance (C (T)) is a main determinant of cardiac afterload, left ventricular function and arterio-ventricular coupling. C (T) is physiologically more relevant than regional aortic stiffness. However, direct, in vivo, non-invasive, measure ...

Early Predictive Biomarkers for Lesion After Transient Cerebral Ischemia

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

Background and Purpose—Despite the improving imaging techniques, it remains challenging to predict the outcome early after transient cerebral ischemia. The aim of this study was thus to identify early metabolic biomarkers for outcome prediction. Methods—We ...

Numerical validation of a new method to assess aortic pulse wave velocity from a single recording of a brachial artery waveform with an occluding cuff

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Philippe Reymond, Bram Trachet, Patrick Segers

Recently a new method has been proposed as a tool to measure arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measure of the stiffness of the large arteries and an emerging parameter used as indicator of clinical cardiovascular risk. The method is based on measuremen ...
