Measurement Of Transverse Relaxation Times Of Cerebral Metabolites In Brain Tumors
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-10-22)
Proton (¹H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provides a non-invasive means of assessing metabolite concentration for a range of biologically important cerebral compounds in vivo. To extract quantitative information, ...
Development Of A Model To Simulate The Single-limb Stance Phase Of Walking To Determine The Limits Of Stability
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Falls during walking are the primary cause of injuries for older persons and present a high associated cost to society due to the resulting treatment. Hence, the control of balance while moving is an essential issue ...
Microfluidic Device For Determining Preferential Cell Migration Toward Extracellular Matrix Proteins
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins interact with cells in bodily microenvironments by influencing their essential cellular processes in growth, survival, migration and repair after injury. In this study, a novel microfluidic ...
Diffuse Optical Tomography To Study The Ischemic Stroke In Rat Models
(Biomedical Engineering, 05-06-2013)
Stroke, including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, is the major leading cause of death in the United States. More than 80 percent of stroke patients are diagnosed with ischemic stroke, which usually results from ...
Recombinant Expression, Purification And Kinetic Characterization Of F₄₂₀-cofactor Dependent Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase From Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
The FGD (F₄₂₀-dependent Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) enzyme is an F₄₂₀ Cofactor (7,8-didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavin) dependent enzyme found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis ...
Effect Of Body Mass Index On The Biomechanical Properties Of Anterior Vaginal Wall Tissue Of Prolapsed Patients
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Anterior Vaginal Wall (AVW) prolapse is a bothersome condition that affects thousands of women. Its onset and progression is not well understood but is thought to be multifactorial. Biomechanical properties of AVW tissue ...
Kinetics Analyses Of Interactions Between Oncogenic And Tumor Suppressor Proteins By Quantitative High Resolution Microscopy Methods
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
DAB2IP is correlated to the risk of aggressive prostate cancer and loss of DAB2IP not only leads to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), but also makes cells radioresistant. These observations support the notion ...
Fabrication Of Small Diameter Vascular Graft Using Stacked Collagen Films
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Collagen I have been widely used in the field of vascular tissue engineering. They are characterized better for their interaction at the cellular level but are often limited as vascular graft due to their weak mechanical ...
Antimicrobial Properties Of Citric Acid Based Polymers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
A series of citric acid derived polymers synthesized in our lab were investigated and compared for their physiochemical and antimicrobial properties. We selected citric acid based polymers since citric acid is a product ...
Nanomaterials for photo-based diagnostic and therapeutic applications
(Ivyspring, 2013)
Photo-based diagnosis and treatment methods are gaining prominence due to increased spatial
imaging resolution, minimally invasive modalities involved as well as localized treatment. Recently,
nanoparticles (NPs) have ...
