Advances In Helical Stent Design And Fabrication: Studies Of Stent Thermal Treatment, Stent Mechanical Properties, And Stent Interactions With A Simulated Plaque-laden Artery
Welch, Tre Raymond (Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)Advancements in processing biomaterials have lead to the development of bioresorbable PLLA drug-loaded stents with different geometric configurations. To further advance the technology, systematic studies have been carried ... -
AN ACTOMYOSIN DRIVEN, PRESSURE BASED ADHESION MODEL OF CONFINED GLIOBLASTOMA MULTIFORME CELL MIGRATION
Wright, Jamie (2016-05-13)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and common form of glial tumors arising in the support cells of the brain. Cell migration plays a critical role in undermining the surgical resection of tumors. ... -
Analysis Of Oxygen Uptake During Blood Flow Through A Rectangular Microchannel: A Two Phase Eulerian Model With Oxygen-hemoglobin Reaction
Wright, Jamie (Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)The evolution of oxygenator design has culminated in the current strategy of utilizing micro-porous membranes to separate blood and oxygen phases while utilizing extra-luminal blood flow orientations to promote passive and ... -
BIOMECHANICAL STUDIES OF DEVELOPING ZEBRAFISH HEART IN-VIVO
Salehin, Nabid; 0000-0001-6057-9024 (2021-05-05)The heart is an electrically controlled mechanical pump that provides the cardiac output required by the body to function properly and flexibly adapts to changing demand and working conditions. In vertebrate embryos, the ... -
Computational Modeling Of Drug Release From Nerve Guide Conduit Of Different Designs
Patil, Lokesh Shamkant (Biomedical Engineering, 2014-07-14)Currently there are limited effective strategies and surgical methods for repairing gap peripheral nerve injuries. Autografts are commonly used but with major limitation in the availability of donor graft material and the ... -
Creep Response and Adhesion Dynamics of Glioblastoma Multiforme Cells During Migration in Confined Environment
Khan, Ishan Kamal (2018-05-10)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and malignant form of primary brain tumor. One of the major challenges facing the treatment of GBM tumors is the detachment and subsequent migration of peripheral cells. ... -
Development Of Novel Multilayered Particles For Drug Delivery And Cell Isolation Applications
Koppolu, Bhanuprasanth (Biomedical Engineering, 2011-03-03)The objective of this work is to develop multilayered nanoparticles for drug delivery and cell isolation applications. These particles principally consist of three layers; biodegradable polymer, thermo sensitive polymer ... -
Effect Of Body Mass Index On The Biomechanical Properties Of Anterior Vaginal Wall Tissue Of Prolapsed Patients
Ochoa Lopez, Sandra Gabriela (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 ... -
Flow Rate Measurement Of In Situ Perfusion Through The Aqueous Humor Outflow Network
Lawrence, Noel Ortiz (Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)A system was developed to measure the instantaneous perfusate flow rate through the aqueous humor outflow network of a human eye, while under constant pressure. The system monitors real-time weight changes of a perfusate ... -
Gas Permeation Through Nanoporous Polycarbonate Track- Etched Membranes: Pulsed Plasma Polymerization Of Thin Coatings To Modulate Gas Permeability
Chapman, Christopher Lewis (Biomedical Engineering, 2007-09-17)Polycarbonate track-etched membranes (PCTE) of 50nm and 100nm pore size, precoated with Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), were surface treated with either Vinyl Acetic acid (VAA) or Perfluorohexane (C6F14) using a low duty ... -
The Hip-Spine Effect: How Pathological Femoro-Pelvic Interactions Contribute to Abnormal Lumbar Spine Loading
Khoury, Anthony Nicholas; 0000-0002-7418-5605 (2019-05-06)ABSTRACT THE HIP-SPINE EFFECT: HOW PATHOLOGICAL FEMORO-PELVIC INTERACTIONS CONTRIBUTE TO ABNORMAL LUMBAR SPINE LOADING Anthony Nicholas Khoury, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Hal ... -
A Viscoelastic Model For Human Prolapsed Vaginal Wall Tissue
Ma, Milton (Biomedical Engineering, 2012-04-11)Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects thousands of elderly women each year. Improvements in surgical repair could benefit from the understanding of the biomechanical properties of the vaginal wall (VW) tissues to better ...
