A Study On The Effect Of Mechanical Stretch And Aligned Scaffold Architecture On Morphology Of Rat Ventricular Cells
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Heart disease is one of the major causes of death in developing and industrialized countries. Myocardial infarction leads to remodeling of the left ventricle, which severely affects the pumping efficiency of the heart. In ...
Biaxial Investigation Of Periosteal Mechanics
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Limb lengthening procedures are used commonly to correct limb length discrepancies. Current methods in limb lengthening require a distraction of 1 mm per day using an external fixation device. Although the underlying ...
Synthesis And Characterization Of Crosslinked Urethane Doped Polyesters For Vascular Tissue Engineering
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Traditional crosslinked polyester elastomers are inherently weak, and the strategy of increasing crosslink density to improve their mechanical properties makes them brittle materials. Biodegradable polyurethanes, although ...
Analysis Of Oxygen Uptake During Blood Flow Through A Rectangular Microchannel: A Two Phase Eulerian Model With Oxygen-hemoglobin Reaction
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The evolution of oxygenator design has culminated in the current strategy of utilizing micro-porous membranes to separate blood and oxygen phases while utilizing extra-luminal blood flow orientations to promote passive and ...
Optimization Of Reconstruction Parameters In Brain Activation Studies
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Diffuse Optical Imaging (DOI) is being extensively used in brain activation studies for the quantification of hemodynamic changes in the cerebral cortex. Many investigators have utilized the commercially available CW5 DOI ...
Feasibility Study Of An Ultra Fast Gated Camera To Image Biliary Tree Embedded In Adipose Tissue Using Laboratory Phantoms And Monte Carlo Simulations
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Every year, approximately 500,000 cholecystectomies are performed in US. As biliary tree structures are embedded in adipose tissue, they cannot be visualized directly by the surgeon, which causes inadvertent injuries to ...
Visible To Near Infra Red Hyperspectral Imaging: Visualizing The Neurological And Biological Nature Of Ischemic Tissue
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Diabetic Neuropathy is a neuropathic disorder which is associated with Diabetes Mellitus. It is known to result in lower limb ulcers which can lead to amputation. Nerve damage, microvascular dysfunctions and use of ill ...
Automated Quantification Of White Matter Hyperintensity Burden Using Mprage And Flair Images From A Large Population
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
White Matter Hyperintensity(WMH) burden, as observed in T2 and proton weighted MR images, is associated with several health factors such as decreased cognitive ability, hypertension, diabetes and cerebrovascular disease. ...
Integration Of Hyperspectral Imaging System For Optimized Data Acquisition And Control To Revolutionized Pathology Applications
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Detecting and measuring the interactions and expression levels of tumor markers in a cancerous cell are quintessential in prognosis and management of cancer. These have propagated the need to develop better microscopic ...
High Precision Spatial And Temporal Control Of Neural Circuitry Using Semi-automated, Multiwavelength Nanopatterning System
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The ideal way to manipulate neurons would be to reversibly activate and inactivate neuronal firing and thus enable a bi-directional control. Many attempts have been made in the past to have such a tool. The traditional ...
