The Role of Fibroblast Growth Factors in Bronchial Remodeling and Angiogenesis KU Leuven
Endoscopic advanced imaging in small airway disease : probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy in emphysema and after lung transplantation. KU Leuven
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) occurs in 10% of the adult population and is currently the 4th leading cause of mortality. The associated morbidity, the economic burden as well as the societal impact of COPD is huge and one of the major health challenges of the future. COPD is characterized by progressive and irreversible airflow limitation and it is shown that these changes start at the level of the small airways even before ...
Multimodal Signal Analysis for Unobtrusive Characterization of Obstructive Sleep Apnea KU Leuven
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent sleep related breathing disorder, nevertheless subjects suffering from it often remain undiagnosed due to the cumbersome diagnosis procedure. Moreover, the prevalence of OSA is increasing and a better phenotyping of patients is needed in order to prioritize treatment. The goal of this thesis was to tackle those challenges in OSA diagnosis, by means of advanced signal processing algorithms, ...
