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 % ...
Targeted Delivery Of Carbon Nanotubes To Cancer Cells
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
CD22 is broadly expressed on human B cell lymphomas. Monoclonal anti-CD22 antibodies (MAbs) alone, or coupled to toxins, have been used to selectively target these tumors both in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice ...
Enhanced Endothelialization On Surface Modified Poly(L-lactic Acid)
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Current synthetic vascular grafts and polymer-coated drug-eluting stents (DES) have certain limitations, such as thrombosis and restenosis due to the incomplete recovery of vascular endothelial cells on their luminal sides. ...
Mechanisms Of Biomaterial Mediated Fibrotic Responses And Strategies To Improve Tissue Reactions To Biomaterial Implants
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Despite considerable advancements in biomaterial synthesis and modification techniques, most tissue engineering scaffolds elicit fibrotic reactions resulting in implant encapsulation, secluding cells and/or therapeutic ...
Novel Polymeric Scaffolds Using Protein Microbubbles as Porogen and Growth Factor Carriers
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc., 2010)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Polymeric tissue engineering scaffolds prepared by conventional techniques like salt leaching and phase separation are greatly limited by their poor biomolecule-delivery ...
