INFORMATION SUPPORT OF RESEARCHES ON THE DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT RESTORATION AFTER THE STROKE

Introduction. The results of clinical testing of the innovative technology TRENAR® confirmed its effectiveness in motor and speech recovery after a stroke. The main advantage of the technology that enables a more efficient motor and speech recovery is advanced training programs, based on different methods. This allows one to select individual approach to the rehabilitation process. In order to determine a personalized recovery plan it is necessary to develop criteria to quantify motor recovery dynamics.
The purpose of the research is to determine criteria for separately quantifying recovery dynamics in proximal and distal parts of the upper and lower extremities, as well as to perform an integral quantitative assessment of the severity of motor function disorders after a stroke.
Results. The method for quantitative estimation of the effectiveness of motor function rehabilitation after a stroke was developed.
One special feature of the technique is separate quantitative assessment of the motor function deficit dynamics of the affected lower and upper extremities, their proximal and distal sections, including fine motor skills, according to basic and additional criteria. The technique allows us to study the contribution of these indicators to the integral quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of motor recovery during rehabilitation process. The technique has successfully passed pilot clinical trials during the studies of motor function recovery dynamics after a stroke when innovative technology TRENAR® for motor training / recovery was used. It is intended for informational support of medical decision-making when devising an individual plan for the rehabilitation of motor and speech functions after a stroke.
Conclusion. The method for quantitative assessment of motor function recovery dynamics forms the basis for assessing the effectiveness of rehabilitation processes in patients after a stroke and for developing individual plans for rehabilitation. It serves as the digital informational support for physicians and will be essential for developing mobile applications for smartphones and tablets that can be used during the rehabilitation process.
Keywords: quantitative assessment, criteria, rehabilitation, effectiveness, stroke, motor functions, speech, disorders.

AUTOMATIC DETERMINATION OF LEVEL OF GAUSSIAN NOISE IN DIGITAL IM-AGES BY METHOD OF THE SELECTED REGIONS

Introduction. The noise level is an important parameter for common application tasks of digital image processing: noise removal, segmentation, recognition and other. At the experimental image processing the noise level in most cases is unknown, so development of a method for automatic and accurate determination of noise level in images is an actual and important for practice task [1–7]. Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) belongs to the widespread noise model, since many noises in the real images are described rather accurately by the AWGN model [1]. For this reason this article will consider the methods of noise level determination in the images within the AWGN model, and this noise will further be called Gaussian noise for the sake of simplicity. Level of Gaussian noise is expressed by standard deviation of noise.
The purpose of the article is to develop an automatic method of Gaussian noise level determination in digital images, which uses the selection of image region based on its low-frequency filtering and performs calculation of noise level by analyzing of histograms of the selected region. The article is aimed at software implementation of the elaborated method in the MATLAB system and estimation of its accuracy by processing the collection of test images.
Methods. The method of the selected regions for calculation of Gaussian noise level, which involves the selection of image region and analysis of its histogram is used. Convolution operation to filter digital images is applied. For estimation of accuracy of noise level determination the root mean square error (RMSE) between the experimental and theoretical noise levels for the test images is used.
Results. The method of automatic determination of level of Gaussian noise in digital images is developed. A method consists in the selection of the image ROI (Region Of Interest) [1, 3], where the noise is mainly present, in the calculation of histogram of the selected region and standard deviation of histogram and in the calculation of experimental level of noise based on value . If the variation does not exceed the established limit, the process of the ROI clarification is completed. The proposed method is software implemented in MATLAB system [3].
Conclusion. The mathematical model of image filtering with Gaussian noise is created. The created model allows selecting the ROI regions with the prevailed Gaussian noise [8, 9]. The modification of the algorithm for determining the level of Gaussian noise in images is implemented [10–12], which specifies the minimum permissive value of the ROI area, leading to reducing the root mean square error of calculation of noise level on 0.1%.
The accuracy of the proposed method is studied by processing the set of 100 test images [11, 12], and the root mean square error of calculation equals to 0.257%. The resulting error of calculation is less, than the one obtained for the most accurate modern methods of determination of noise level [4, 5]. With the use of more precise method of the ROI noise level determination, different from histogram analysis, the accuracy of the proposed method can be improve.
Keywords: digital image processing, noise level determination, standard deviation of Gaussian noise, histogram of image.

DISCRETE-TIME STEADY-STATE CONTROL OF INTERCONNECTED SYSTEMS BASED ON PSEUDOINVERSION CONCEPT

Introduction. The problem of controlling interconnected systems subjected to arbitrary unmeasurable disturbances remains actual up to now. It is important problem from both theoretical and practical points of view. During the last decades, the internal model control principle becomes popular among other methods dealing with an improvement of the control system. A perspective modification of the internal model control principle is the so-called model inverse approach. Unfortunately, the inverse model approach is quite unacceptable if the systems to be controlled are square but singular or if they are nonsquare. It turned out that the so-called pseudoinverse (generalized inverse) model approach can be exploited to cope with the noninevitability of singular square and also nonsquare system.
The purpose of the paper is to generalize the results obtained by the authors in their last works which are related to the asymptotic properties of the pseudoinverse model-based method for designing an efficient steady-state control of interconnected systems with uncertainties and arbitrary bounded disturbances and also to present some new results.
Results. In this paper, the main effort is focused on analyzing the asymptotic properties of the closed-loop systems containing the pseudoinverse model-based controllers. In the framework of the pseudoinversion concept, new theoretical results related to the asymptotic behavior of these systems are obtained. Namely, in the case of nonsingular gain matrices with known elements, the upper bounds on the ultimate norms of output and control input vectors are found. Next, in the case of nonsquare gain matrices whose elements are also known, the asymptotic behavior of the feedback control systems designed on the basis of pseudoinverse approach are studied. Further, the sufficient conditions guaranteeing the boundedness of the output and control input signals for the linear and certain class of nonlinear interconnected systems in the presence of uncertainties are derived.
Conclusion. It has been established that the pseudoinverse model-based concept can be used as a unified concept to deal with the steady-state regulation of the linear interconnected discrete-time systems and of some classes of nonlinear interconnected systems with possible uncertainties in the presence of arbitrary unmeasured but bounded disturbances.
Keywords: discrete time, feedback, pseudoinversion, interconnected systems, optimality, stability, uncertainty.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ESTIMATION METHODS OF THE PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNALS VARIABILITY

Introduction. In the modern world, more attention is paid to the study of the behavior of complexly organized medical and biological systems. The fundamental concept of synergetics is the generalized entropy, which quantitatively characterizes the degree of the system chaoticness. Of special interest are studies of changes in the dynamic series chaotic parameters generated by various biological systems.
The purpose of the article is further development and experimental research of methods for analyzing the variability of physiological signals under external influences on the body.
Methods. Two alternative approaches of estimating the variability of dynamic series are investigated: based on the calculation of the sample variance relative changes and entropy estimates (in a sliding window with the specified parameters) in relation to the first window. The theoretical and experimental dependences between the Shannon entropy and the standard deviation for a normal distribution of a random variable that generates a dynamic series are studied. Comparison of these estimates with real and model data is carried out.
Results. To increase the sensitivity of entropy estimates to the variability of the dynamic series, it is proposed to move from a series of discrete entropy values at the -th point, calculated by the sliding window method, to its phase portrait on the plane , where is the estimate of the first derivative . For an integral assessment of the chaotic nature of physiological signals, it is suggested to estimate the area of the convex hull of the entropy phase portrait and the coordinates of the phase portrait gravity center , . Experimental studies have confirmed the diagnostic value of these parameters in the assessment of variability of the electrocardiograms and rhythmograms indices with external influences on the body (intravenous therapy, surgery and physical activity).
Conclusions. Deviations of the integral parameters of the entropy phase portrait under the effect of external influences on the organism were detected, which open new possibilities in the evaluation of the cardiac activity regulation in preventive and clinical medicine. These integral parameters require further study to confirm their statistical significance in representative samples of observations.

Keywords: variability of physiological signals, entropy estimates, diagnostic criteria.

EVALUATION OF RISK FACTORS FOR OPERATIONS CORONARY BYPASS SURGERY ON A BEATING HEART

Introduction. The planned beating heart coronary aortic bypass grafting operations (BH CABG) prepares with and without parallel perfusion circulatory support. In second case the necessity of emergent use of circulatory support can appear. In these situations, the frequency of postoperative complications in circulatory system increases.

The decision about the planned use of circulatory support makes with analysis of big number of clinical data. This causes necessity to create the computer decision support systems to minimize the risk of emergent use of parallel perfusion.

The purpose of the article is to analyse statistically the risk factors for BH CABG operations on a working heart with the aim to minimize the risk of circulatory support emergent use.

Clinical material. 972 patients which undergone the BH CABG without circulatory support, 178 patients with planned use of circulatory support and 90 patients with emergent use of circulatory support. The 67 clinical parameters with package IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 were analyzed.

Methods. The algorithm of binary logistic regression (BLR) for decision support systems development were used.

Results and discussion. The association between clinical values in groups without circulatory support, their planned and emergent use as well as their odds ratios and confidence intervals were analyzed. Then BLR algorithm to build the models for estimation of probability of planned and emergent use of circulatory support was used. The strategies of compulsory and stepwise inclusion of parameters were applied. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the models obtained for learning and examination samples. The best models were chosen were calculated.

Conclusions. The created predictive models have a high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, and can reduce the influence of subjective factors on medical decisions making regarding the use of the artificial circulatory support during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. Analysis of the variables included in the model, can contribute to a better understanding of the structure of existing pathogenic factors. The additional estimation the risk of cardiopulmonary bypass emergent use can reduce the likelihood of such situations occurrence.

Keywords: the beating heart coronary aortic bypass grafting, circulatory support with cardiopulmonary bypass, predicting algorithms.

A COMPUTER SIMULATOR OF MECHANISMS PROVIDING ENERGY BALANCE IN HUMAN CELLS

Introduction. Human organism is a too complex system to be empirically examined and comprehended: there is no method for simultaneously measuring or integrally analyzing of billions of multi-scale life variables. Experts need models and information technologies that causally incorporate cell-scale and organism-scale biophysical and physiological data.

The purpose of the article is to describe a specialized simulator (SS) providing users of additional information concerning scenarios and multi-level mechanisms of energy optimization in the human organism.

Results. Multi-scale mechanisms providing cell energy balance (CEB) are in the basis of SS. At cell-level, providers of CEB form a battery of autonomous mechanisms (BAM). Under energy lack (EL), BAM increases the rate of ATP synthesis using local opportunities. If EL remains, extracellular providers of aerobic synthesis of ATP enlarge current potentials of the EL-cell. The SS provides simulation scenarios increasing the lung ventilation, the erythropoiesis, blood concentrations of carbohydrates, and of other nutrients for biogenesis of mitochondria. The role of the cardiovascular system is in regulating of blood incomes to EL-cells.

Conclusion. The SS is a novel informational technology of dual goals. Explaining the function of mechanisms-providers of CEB, the SS also can be used by applied physiologists and physicians for the planning of optimal scenarios for physical empowering of healthy people.

Keywords: mathematical models, mitochondria, glucose, integrative physiology, medicine.

RESERCH THE ROLE OF HYPOXIA, HYPERCAPHNIA AND HYPOMETABOLISM IN THE REGULATION OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IN THEIR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DISTURBANCES BASED ON THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL

Introduction. Under conditions of the physical exertion and human presence on the altitude, the oxygen deficiency in tissues occurs. For a theoretical study of the role of various mechanisms in the regulation of the respiratory system, the use of the mathematical model for the transport of respiratory gases in the body was proposed.

Purpose. Researches of the role of hypoxia, hypercapnia and hypometabolism in external and internal disturbances, based on the mathematical model of the respiratory system.

Results. On the mathematical model of respiratory gas transport in the dynamics of the respiratory cycle, as control parameters, pulmonary ventilation, minute blood volume and local blood flow, as well as self-regulation mechanisms — respiratory muscles, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle vessels — were used. It resolved the conflict situation that arises between the managers and the executive tissues in the fight for oxygen. An analysis of the results of numerical experiments in simulating hypoxia and hypoxic hypoxia and their comparison with experimental data was made.

Conclusion. The proposed approach can be useful in assessing the role of hypoxia, hypercapnia and hypometabolism in the disturbances of the internal and external environment in the process of human vital activity under extreme conditions and leads to the formulation of new tasks in the physiology of sports, work and leisure.

Keywords: Mathematical model of respiratory gas transport, load hypoxia, hypoxic hypoxia, regulation of the respiratory system, disturbing effects, oxygen deficiency.
