Substrate Stiffness Adjustable PDMS Device/array For Understanding Its Effect On Cell Growth, Differentiation And Migration
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
The mechanical properties of the cellular environment play an important role in the functioning of the cell. Cells attach to the extracellular matrix or other surrounding cells, thus sensing their mechanical properties and ...
An Investigation Of Support Vector Machine Classifier In Detecting Nocturnal Airway Obstruction From Spontaneous Heart Rate Combined With ECG Morphology Changes
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Sleep apnea is a sleep disordered breathing resulting from limitation or cessation to breathing for 10 or more seconds. The prevalence of sleep apnea has increased exponentially in the past decade. The increase in epidemic ...
Novel ¹H MR Probes To Interrogate The Tumor Microenvironment
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
The term "tumor microenvironment" usually refers to the description of the physiological and metabolic conditions within solid tumors (primary or metastatic), and is significantly different from that of normal tissues. ...
Evaluation Of Spatial Resolution And Localization Accuracy Of Absorbing Heterogenity Embedded In Homogenous And Layered Turbid Media Using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive widely used technique for imaging the brain activation patterns in the cerebral cortex of neonates and adults. For the fNIRS imaging of these brain activation ...
Wireless Closed-loop Feedback Systems For Automatic Detection And Suppression Of Nociceptive Signals
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Chronic pain is an important public health issue. Several approaches have been implemented for management of chronic pain, including surgical implantation of neurostimulators. Neurostimulators have been used in clinics for ...
Investigation Of Neural Correlates Between Perception Of Pain And Hemodynamic Response Measured In The Pre-frontal Cortex Using Functional Near Infra-red Spectroscopy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Perception of pain is multi-dimensional, comprising three major psychological dimensions: sensory-discriminative, motivational-affective and cognitive-evaluative. This dissertation study investigates the cognitive evaluation ...
Three-dimensional Multimedium Computational Model For Drug Delivery Using Finite Element Analysis
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Approximately 2.8% of trauma patients present peripheral nerve injury, which can result in loss of motor function. Current strategies for peripheral nerve repair had focused on the development of synthetic nerve conduits ...
Organic Biocompatible Nanolayered Polymerization Of Solid-state Devices
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Nanotechnology plays a major role in today's society due to its convergence of nanoscale which is the level of atoms and molecules as a part of miniaturization trend. The interference between biomedical and nanotechnology ...
Development Of Orchestrated Stem Cell-based Regeneration (OSCeR) -strategies To Recruit And Differentiate Autologous Stem Cells For Tissue Regeneration
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Stem cell therapy has shown great promise in curing diseases. However, clinical application of stem cell therapy is often hindered by the lack of reliable sources and convenient methods to recover stem cells. Our laboratory ...
Innovations In ¹H MR Tissue Oximetry: New Probes And Pulses
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Low oxygenation level (hypoxia) of tissue leads to cellular dysfunction, damage and poor response to therapy. Quantitative measurement of tissue oxygenation is critical not only for the study of tissue physiology, but ...
