Biodegradable Fluorescent Polymers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Most of the works done on fluorescent polymers are focused on their potential applications in lighting industries. Much less interest has been paid for their potential application in the field of biology and biomedical ...
Subcellular Light Activation, Control And Manipulation Using A Dynamically Reconfigurable Nanopatterning System
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Cellular communication is the basis of all cellular activities and functions. Cell signaling is crucial in the processes of tissue maintenance, tissue development and homeostasis. Errors in transmission or interpretation ...
Spatial Resolution And Biliary Tissue Classification Properties Of A Near Infrared Light Imaging Probe
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-10-08)
Approximately 500,000 Gallbladder Surgeries or Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies are performed annually to remove the Gallbladder. This surgery becomes necessary due to formation of gall stones. As biliary tract tissues are ...
Optimization Of Hydrogel System For Complex Wound Healing
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Various conventional therapies and preventive measures have been developed and used for treating complex wounds; however, patients with complex wounds still develop wound infection and consist of delayed wound healing. ...
Characterization And Feasibility Study Of A Near Infrared CCD Imager For Monitoring Tumor Hemodynamics
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancers diagnosed among North American men. Chemotherapy is generally used to target advanced metastatic prostate cancer. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been ...
Determining The Flow Characteristics Of A Perfusion Device For Donor Heart Transport
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Current technology has limits organ transport for transplantation to static storage, thereby reducing the reasonable distance of travel. Continuous machine perfusion has been proposed as a viable alternative to improving ...
Investigation Of Brain Activities Using Two State-of-the-art Diffuse Optical Imagers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) and diffuse optical imaging (DOI) are increasingly used to detect hemodynamic changes in the cerebral cortex induced by brain activity. The new commercially available DOI systems CW5 and ...
Biaxial Mechanical Characterization Of Porcine Periosteum
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Periosteum is multipotent tissue responsible for cortical bone deposition and is important in fracture repair. Research indicates the periosteum is mediated by similar mechanical signals to those that mediate bone growth ...
Development Of An Optical Spectroscopic Method To Detect Neurohemodynamic Changes Induced By Pain In Rats
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
In my optical spectroscopy study, multi-channel, thin optical probes with short source-detector separation have been implemented, calibrated, and used along with a multi-channel spectrometer as a quantitative technique to ...
Investigation Of Brain Activity In Prefrontal Cortex Under Noxious Pain Stimuli And During Psychological Test Using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive functional neuroimaging technique, which measures changes in oxy-hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxy-hemoglobin (HbR) concentrations based on the principle of near ...
