Your team received significant international recognition for its prostate cancer research. What do you think of this achievement after some time has passed? For our team, this award is above all a confirmation that the research carried out in Martin meets global standards. It is the result of long-term, systematic work across several departments - the Urology Clinic of JFM CU, Martin University Hospital, and the Institute of Medical Biochemistry of JFM CU. At the symposium, we presented research focused on analysing genetic variations in selected genes and their impact on the risk of developing prostate cancer. Our aim is to identify new genetic markers that will enable earlier and more precise risk stratification in patients. This research is not a one-off outcome, but the culmination of more than a decade of continuous work. A key challenge, however, remains the translation of these findings into clinical practice so that they can bring real benefits to patients. Moving from research to the patient - prevention remains a key factor. Why do men still pay so little attention to it? The most significant barriers are fear of the unknown and a certain degree of embarrassment. Men often seek medical attention only once they experience symptoms. The difficulty with prostate cancer, however, is that in its early stages it is asymptomatic. From a urologist’s perspective, it is crucial to detect the disease at this stage, when the likelihood of successful treatment is very high. Despite this, we still encounter misconceptions about the pain or time demands of the examination. In reality, it is a short procedure, lasting approximately 15 minutes, and it is not painful. What does a preventive examination involve? The examination begins by studying the medical history, focusing on risk factors and any symptoms. This is followed by a digital rectal examination of the prostate, which is often perceived as the greatest barrier. Although it may be slightly uncomfortable, patients generally rate it as well tolerated. The examination also includes an ultrasound assessment of the kidneys and measurement of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level in the blood. PSA is the most widely used biomarker in prostate cancer screening. On its own, it is not diagnostically definitive; however, in combination with a clinical examination it allows for a high degree of diagnostic accuracy. How do you proceed in the case of a suspicious finding? In cases of suspected disease, we indicate a prostate biopsy, which remains the diagnostic standard for definitively confirming or ruling out malignancy. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is well tolerated by most patients. Further treatment depends on the risk stratification of the disease. In cases of localised cancer, we achieve very high success rates, which again underscores the importance of early diagnosis. Are there clear recommendations on when men should undergo preventive screening? As a standard, we recommend starting screening after the age of 50. For men with a positive family history - that is, if prostate cancer has occurred in a father or brother - we recommend starting ten years earlier, at around the age of 40. If the findings are negative, the examination is usually repeated at three-year intervals. It is important not to wait for symptoms to develop, as these may indicate a more advanced stage of the disease. In addition to your clinical and research work, you are also a teacher. What approach do you try to pass on to medical students? I try to guide them towards a broader understanding of medicine and of the medical profession as a whole. I do not see urology in isolation, but as part of a comprehensive approach to the patient. I emphasise that real responsibility comes only after graduation, when they begin making decisions about patients’ health and lives. This is precisely what makes medicine demanding, but also highly meaningful. Can a teaching approach influence the choice of future specialisation? I am convinced that it can. The way a field is presented plays an important role. We are pleased when students change their perception of urology after completing their placements and begin to consider it as a future specialisation. Direct contact with clinical practice is irreplaceable. As I tell students, experience is key in medicine. Without it, knowledge remains theoretical.

An Invitation to Inner Model Theory MS Teams
Abstract:
This talk gives an overview of the development of the theory of inner models of set theory in the context of small and "medium size" large cardinals and highlights some interactions of the theory with mainstream mathematical areas, mainly analysis. The talk is intended for a broader mathematical audience. I will present some results, older and also more recent, which demonstrate that definable inner models are able to capture significant amount of the information of the actual set-theoretic universe, and and that such models can be used to extract large cardinals from mathematical statements which come not only from set theory, but also from mainstream mathematics. ]]> [FMFI] Prednášky a semináre [FMFI] Kalendár Martin.Macaj@fmph.uniba.sk Fri, 20 Mar 2026 19:56:00 +0100 https://uniba.sk/ As of April 14, 2026, multi-factor authentication (MFA) will be required to access Comenius... https://www.fpharm.uniba.sk/fileadmin/faf/Aktuality/Pre_zamestnancov/EN_Prihlasovanie_MA.pdf.

I am pleased that we can now develop this important cooperation in a more systematic way and involve, among others, our CU Psychological Counselling Service and the University Pastoral Centre. It is important for us to show students that we can support them not only in their academic and professional development, but also provide spiritual and psychological support in coping with their studies,” said the Rector of Comenius University Bratislava, Marek Števček. The next phase of the initiative will be led by the CU Psychological Counselling Service, which opened its doors to the public during the Open Day and, on that occasion, also “planted” the Wishing Tree. “Since 1968, the Psychological Counselling Service of Comenius University has provided free counselling to all students and staff. We see the Wishing Tree as a sensitive yet practical tool that encourages openness, sharing and mutual support. Initiatives of this kind help lower the barriers and concerns that may discourage young people from seeking help,” explains Katarína Ludrovská, Head of the CU Psychological Counselling Service. During the summer semester, the Wishing Tree will be located at the CU Psychological Counselling Service in the Atrium Houses complex in Mlynská dolina. It will then move to the St Joseph Freinademetz University Pastoral Centre and later return to the Faculty of Medicine. The aim is for it to become a natural part of University life and to accompany students throughout the academic year. “The mental health of young people is a major challenge today. Many experience stress, exhaustion or uncertainty, yet often do not know how to talk about these feelings or where to seek support. That is why it is essential to bring such initiatives directly into the environments where they spend their time. Schools and universities, including Comenius University Bratislava, have been a key part of this effort from the very beginning, and feedback from students and staff shows that they have a genuinely positive impact,” says Ľubomíra Izáková, Head of the Psychiatric Clinic at the Faculty of Medicine of Comenius University Bratislava and co-founder of the civic association Cesta k mentálnemu zdraviu ("The Way to Mental Health"). The organisers believe the Wishing Tree will become a place where messages of encouragement, hope and solidarity continue to grow across the University community.]]> [RUK] Titulka - úzke novinky [RUK] Tlačové správy pr@uniba.sk Tue, 24 Mar 2026 09:57:00 +0100 https://uniba.sk/ 11 March 2026, Praha CUSEC project, Assoc.

Beyond Static Geometry: Integrating Metrically Accurate Avatars into Dynamic Scenarios Abstract:
The generation of realistic and metrically accurate 3D human models plays a pivotal role across a wide range of applications, including virtual and augmented reality, biomechanics, and healthcare. While recent advances have enabled the increasingly precise reconstruction of human body geometry, the transition from static models to dynamic human representation introduces new challenges. In this context, motion synthesis and synthetic data generation emerge as essential components. This research explores methods for generating plausible human motion and discusses the development of synthetic datasets designed for behavioral analysis, with a particular emphasis on scenarios involving violent and dangerous activities. Such datasets aim to overcome the inherent limitations of real-world data, including scarcity, annotation complexity, and ethical constraints.

Geometry of expectation values of non-commuting observables
Abstract:
Quantum-mechanical expectation values have a simple definition, analogous to the one in standard probability theory: a sum of values weighted by the probabilities of observing each outcome. Naturally, the expectation value is a function of state; and if several observables X₁,...,X_k are measured, to each state there corresponds a vector (⟨X₁⟩,...,⟨X_k⟩) of expectation values. Considering the set of all such vectors, taken over all quantum states, leads naturally to the study of their geometry; these sets are known as numerical ranges. Their geometric properties reveal peculiar features of quantum mechanics; in particular, the fact that the underlying probabilities cannot arise from a classical random process. In this talk I will give an elementary introduction to the geometry of numerical ranges, present examples for simple quantum-mechanical systems, and show how uncertainty relations can be understood through the lens of this formalism ]]> [FMFI] Prednášky a semináre [FMFI] Kalendár Peter.Matak@fmph.uniba.sk Thu, 19 Mar 2026 08:15:00 +0100 http://https://meniscuscup.jlfuk.sk/en/ [JLF] Kalendár Wed, 18 Mar 2026 08:12:00 +0100 https://uniba.sk/ Thursday 26.3.2026 at 14:00, Lecture room F1 108 Dr. Kamil Dziubek (Institute of Mineralogy and Crystallography, University of Vienna):
High pressure chemistry of the group 15 elements and pnictogen nitrides Abstract:
Based on widely accepted principles of high-pressure crystal chemistry, elements under elevated pressure tend to increase their coordination number and exhibit behavior similar to that of the elements located below them in the periodic table at lower pressures [1,2]. This concept was noted already in the seminal structural chemistry book by Alexander Frank Wells [3], who stated that the crystal structures of gray arsenic (Strukturbericht A7, space group R-3m) and black phosphorus (bP, A17, space group Cmce) can be regarded as distorted forms of the simple cubic (sc, space group Pm-3m) structure. The ideal simple cubic structure is rare in nature and relatively unstable due to its low packing efficiency and coordination number. High-pressure studies have shown that black phosphorus first transforms into the A7 phase and then, passing through a pseudo-simple cubic structure, eventually reaches the sc phase [4,5]. A similar pressure-induced phase transition from the A7 phase to the sc phase has also been observed in elemental arsenic [6]. Recent reports indicate that the polymeric cg-N [space group I2(1)3] and bp-N (bP-type structure, Cmce) phases of nitrogen can also be viewed as distorted versions of a simple cubic atomic arrangement [7]. Moreover, the recently discovered crystalline arsenic nitride AsN, space group P2(1)3 [8], can be considered a highly distorted rock salt (B1, space group Fm-3m) structure [9]. Considering the structural and bonding relationships between group 15 elements and their binary interpnictogen compounds, which have been recently reported, I will draw general conclusions about their atomic arrangements, particularly in light of the group-subgroup relationships of these topologically related crystal structures.
