Spatiotemporal Measurement Of Freezing-induced Deformation Of Engineered Tissues
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
In order to cryopreserve functional engineered tissues (ETs), the microstructure of extracellular matrix (ECM) as well as the cellular viability should be maintained given that the functionality of ETs is closely related ...
Controlled Vascular Cellular Growth By Microstructured Patterned Surfaces On Implantable Biodegradable Polymer Scaffold.
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The technological advances in the field of MEMS and biodegradable polymers with elastomeric properties have opened new areas of application for engineering of soft tissues such as blood vessel, heart valves, cartilage, ...
An Evaluation Of The Biomechanical Properties Of The Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-29)
The Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) is a well defined tissue layer of the face commonly utilized in facial surgery, including facelifts. There are several reasons for the utilization of this tissue, including ...
Diffuse Optical Imaging Of Brain Function Under Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation And In Children With Cerebral Palsy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Diffuse Optical Imaging (DOI) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique which measures the changes in oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin concentrations at a high temporal resolution based on the principle of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.DOI ...
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 ...
Development Of Microscope Stage Incubator For Long-term Monitoring Of Neuronal Cell Culture During Axotomy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
It is imperative to understand the patterns in regeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system after injury. This understanding would provide a fundamental cue towards molecules and other factors involved in ...
In Vivo Tracking Of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Recruitment To Tissue Scaffolds
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
The term "Stem cells" has been extensively used to describe precursor undifferentiated cells that have the capacity to self-renew and can also give rise to multiple tissue types. Many studies have been shown improved ...
Exploratory Study Of Gold Nanoshell As A Therapeutic Thermal Ablation Agent For Cancer Treatment Using Laboratory And Animal Tissue Phantoms
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the United States and the second leading cause of male death from cancer. Surgical removal of the prostate is associated with high risks of surgical complications and ...
An Investigation Of Peripheral Blood Volume And Oxygen Saturation Change In Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a type of sleep disordered breathing in which the airway collapse partially or fully and causes arousal to resume breathing. In a 2009 National sleep foundation poll of 1000 people, 63% ...
Signal Processing Techniques For Artifact Removal In Electroencephalogram (EEG)
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The electroencephalographic recordings measure the electric impulses generated in the brain, in response to a given stimulus. The spontaneous EEG data is used for diagnosis and treatment of some brain diseases. For the ...
