Molecular Modelling Of DNA Translocation In Bio-functionalized Nanopores With Applications In Gene Sequencing
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The human genome project which was completed in 2003 took more than 12 years to complete at a cost of $2.7 billion. The advancement in technologies in the next five years led to the same feat being achieved in 5 months ...
Nanoscale Approaches For Biomolecule Separation And Detection
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Nanotechnology has the potential to contact and impact the biological interactions at the most basic chemical and physical levels. New approaches to nanodevices allow high sensitivity and specificity with low sample ...
Electrical Apparoaches For Selective Detection Of Cancer Biomarker Proteins With Aptamers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Cancer is a disease that is the central focus of many a researcher's attention. As it is a disease that can spread very rapidly and can be fatal in many cases, its early detection and early treatment can dramatically change ...
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study Of Metabolic Profiles In Brain Tumors
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Metabolic profiles in brain tumors were measured using proton (1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at 3T. Spectra were obtained from normal tissues and tumor mass regions of 6 low-grade gliomas, 7 anaplastic astrocytomas ...
Microfluidic Systems For Studying Cell Motility
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
It is very imperative to develop new in vitro platforms that can help in studying the complex interactions that occur between cell-Extracellular Matrix proteins and also during the process of cell migration in vivo. Such ...
Attenuation Based Quantification Of Interstitial Lung Disease Using High Resolution Computed Tomography And Correlation With Pulmonary Function Tests
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a chronic and progressive pulmonary disease of the lung parenchyma resulting in fibrotic scar formation of the pulmonary alveoli. The pathologic changes in the lung result in restrictive ...
A Study Of The Physiological Effects Of Sleep Apnea On Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
It is estimated that sleep apnea is prevalent in the US in about 18 million people. The prevalence rate is approximately 6% in the US. Sleep apnea reduces the quality of life of patients. Sleep apnea is characterized by ...
Development Of Magnetic-based Core-shell Nanoparticles For Drug Delivery Applications In Melanoma Skin Cancer
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Melanoma skin cancer is the most dangerous form of skin cancer and the major cause of deaths related to skin cancer worldwide. Conventional chemotherapeutic treatment is not very effective and faces many problems such as ...
Investigation Of End-tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO₂) And Heart Rate Variations During Sleep Apnea
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder where limitation or cessation of breathing occurs. It is characterized by abnormalities in the respiratory pattern and quantity of ventilation during sleep. According to a study 4% of men ...
Quantitative Variation Of Blood Pressure Dynamics During Sleep Apnea
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Sleep Apnea is one of the major sleep disorders characterized by complete cessation or decline in breathing for about 10s or more during sleep, thereby adversely affecting the quality of sleep. Studies show that about 6 % ...
