Manipulating the K-Space for Reduction of Respiratory Induced Motion Artifacts
(2016-05-16)
Respiratory induced motion artifacts, particularly those occurring in the abdomen and lung, pose a hefty problem in current diagnostic MR imaging. Application of images plagued with such artifacts not only hinder diagnosis, ...
Diffused Correlation Spectroscopy for Measurement of Blood Perfusion During Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
(2016-05-27)
Near infrared stimulation or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is an innovative technique shown to effect the microvasculature hemodynamics. The aim of this study is to use Diffused Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS) to evaluate ...
AN ACTOMYOSIN DRIVEN, PRESSURE BASED ADHESION MODEL OF CONFINED GLIOBLASTOMA MULTIFORME CELL MIGRATION
(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. ...
INVESTIGATION OF COPLING STRENGTH AND DIRECTIONALITY BETWEEN EEG AND FNIRS AT RESTING STATE USING PERMUTATION CONDITIONAL MUTUAL INFORMATION
(2016-08-26)
The motivation of study is to combine multimodality approach EEG-fNIRS to study relationship between neural activity and hemodynamic response applying information theory concepts. Investigating human brain function can be ...
INVESTIGATION OF PREFRONTAL COGNITION RESPONSES TO TRANSCRANIAL LASER STIMULATION IN PTSD USING FUNCTIONAL NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
(2016-05-31)
In recent years low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been of great research interest because of its therapeutic applications in psychiatry, neurology and ophthalmology. In-vivo transcranial delivery of LLLT has shown to ...
Functional Studies of the Human Telomerase Holoenzyme
(2016-09-13)
Telomeres are the DNA structures that cap the ends of linear chromosomes. In humans, telomeres are composed of the hexameric repeats TTAGGG. The reverse transcriptase, telomerase maintains the telomeres by adding the TTAGGG ...
NANOSTURCTURED BIOMATERIALS FOR TISSUE REGENERATION AND REPAIR
(2016-09-16)
Nanostructured materials have been explored in biomedical field especially in
tissue engineering over a past decade. This type of material can be processed into
biomaterial scaffolds; revealed many advantages to be used ...
INTUITIVE HUMAN ROBOT INTERFACES FOR UPPER LIMB PROSTHETICS
(2016-08-19)
Modern robotic prosthetic devices for upper limb amputees promise to alleviate an important disability, but are underutilized due to the inability to properly control them. Specifically, the devices afford more degrees of ...
Interactive Analytical Tool for Quantitative Corneal Confocal Imaging in vivo
(2016-05-19)
The objective of this study was to develop an interactive software application for image reconstruction and analysis of the corneal data from an in vivo confocal microscope (Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph with Rostock Corneal ...
