Scientific Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic and the Slovak Academy of Sciences. VEGA 1/0622/20 Study of molecular and metabolic profile of breast cancer - co-investigator. [EN] Obesity and excessive accumulation of adipose tissue are known risk factors for the development of several types of cancer, including breast cancer. Cancer and metabolism are deeply linked. As the prevalence of obesity increases worldwide, understanding the molecular details of the interaction between adipose tissue and breast tumors becomes an urgent task. The metabolomic profile of breast cancer will be studied in both blood and tissue of the probands of the experiment. At each stage of the project, a wide range of laboratory markers will be monitored and compared to determine the risk of inflammation associated with the development of breast cancer and obesity. The study will assess anthropometric parameters, emit questionnaire tools to assess lifestyle, etc. Differences in metabolic profiles can be used for screening and diagnosis of this cancer in women.

Cultural and Educational Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic. KEGA 007UPJŠ-4/2018 Application of innovative multimedia approaches in teaching the effect of physical factors using an exposure model for students of medical disciplines - co-investigator. [EN] The KEGA project brought new forms of application of innovative multimedia technologies in practical and theoretical teaching of medical, medical and non-medical students, especially students of general medicine, faith-based health care, nursing, physiotherapy and dentistry. The aim of the project carried out was the development, introduction, application and implementation of multimedia technologies in the teaching of university students, which enabled the evaluation of the impact and use of physical factors on health. Physical factors can exert negative effects including noise, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, vibrations, shocks and other physical factors on human health. Physical factors are also factors that are used extensively in medical practice, for example, they can also have positive effects with applications in diagnostics, rehabilitation and physiotherapy - ultrasound, electric currents, laser, heat. Physical factors are factors that are also widely used in medical practice, for example, they can also have positive effects with use in diagnostics, rehabilitation and physiotherapy - ultrasound, electric currents, laser, heat. The benefits of the project have increased the knowledge, skills and abilities of students from different medical disciplines and upgraded the profile of graduates. The project actively implemented the so-called self-assessment model of the effects of physical and other lifestyle factors in medical students, along with the assessment of basic physiological health determinants. Subsequently, an on-line software model was developed, and the impact of lifestyle, environmental and physical factors was assessed on the students' self-assessment scale, with the inclusion of possible responses of physiological changes in the form of measured health parameters. The results of the project have also translated significantly into students' practical skills in the knowledge required in assessing the effects of important aetiological factors on the development of disease. Outputs of the project include the production of multimedia and print scientific and educational outputs, in the form of publications, the practical application of simple evaluation software in the assessment of the exposure model and its evaluation in the determination of the human burden of physical factors. The project is also in line with the EU baseline requirements on the so-called risk impact. The project has produced a significant number of publications - 61 , including monographs, manuscripts and peer-reviewed articles.

Determinants of increased cardiovascular risk and their prognostic significance analyzed using machine learning in the diagnosis of high-risk individuals. Agency for Research and Development Support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic (APVV-17- 0550).

 Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are still the most common cause of death in Europe despite significant advances in prevention and treatment. Most cardiovascular (CV) diseases increase morbidity and mortality on the basis of atherosclerotic involvement of the coronary arteries. Many risk factors as well as scoring systems have been identified that may serve as predictors of coronary heart disease. These scoring systems take into account various risk factors including sex, age, smoking, systolic blood pressure values and lipid profile. However, this approach does not take into account so-called personalized medicine or the interaction of many other risk or protective factors in the assessment of overall CV risk. Several standard risk factors in the schemes used are at least worth considering. The new SCORE recommendations continue to use total cholesterol rather than LDL cholesterol (LDL) , or non-HDL cholesterol, or the ratio of total cholesterol (TCH) to HDL cholesterol (HDL) in the assessment of fatal events. Looking at the complexity of the issue of CV risk detection, atherogenesis itself, and considering the latest knowledge gained from evidence-based medicine, we are faced with a difficult situation when applying general rules to a large group of patients. However, current information technology and specific applications allow us to calculate with more data input compared to previous decades and thus to calculate for each individual patient his or her own risk on the basis of the available, larger number of parameters, e.g. compared to the SCORE system. The project proposes a solution for the highly topical problem of early detection and management of CV disease patients. This study aims to develop a predictive model for the recognition of potentially at-risk patients and subsequently to refine the indication of selective coronary angiography in this group of patients based on the developed model obtained by examining a large patient cohort.

KEGA project No.010UPJŠ-4/2021 Implementation of multimedia technologies in teaching preventive interventions in medical and non-medical disciplines is aimed at the creation, introduction, application and implementation of multimedia technologies in teaching students (medicine, nursing, public health, physiotherapy and dentistry) of universities, which will enable the creation of intervention procedures in the incidence and prevention of chronic diseases, with a focus on cardiovascular diseases. Guidance on intervention procedures will also include interventions for the elimination of risk factors. The importance of knowledge of intervention practices is an essential element in disease prevention and therapy. The project should contribute to the improvement of the quality of undergraduate as well as postgraduate education and will improve the profile of all graduates in medical and non-medical disciplines of the Faculty of Medicine of UPJŠ, the creation of new multimedia technologies in the clarification of the acting cardiovascular factors of the health status of the population for the education of a special group of health professionals, to contribute to the application of evidence-based medicine in practice, in the long term it should contribute to the reduction of the prevalence of diseases, and thus contribute to saving or saving of funds for the expenditure of follow-up medical care in the occurrence of given diseases.
