Characterization Of Multifunctional Biodegradable - Biocompatible ICG-loaded Nanoparticles And Their Feasibility For Prostate Cancer Imaging And Phototherapy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the United States, and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. The conventional diagnostic procedures use an invasive approach to collect the biopsy tissue samples. ...
Comparison Of Brain Activity In The Prefrontal Cortex During Digit Span Task Between Student Veterans With Post Traumatic Stress Disorder And Controls Using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical non-invasive imaging technique which makes use of infrared light at particular wavelengths to measure the changes in concentrations of oxygenated blood haemoglobin (HbO) as ...
Diagnosis Of Breast Cancer Using Auto-flourescence Lifetime And Light Reflectance Spectroscopy: A Potential Tool For Positive Margin Assessment
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Malignant Breast Neoplasm (MBN) or breast cancer is a heterogeneous cancer type originating in the breast tissue. Surgery is considered the primary treatment for breast cancer, with many early stage patients being cured ...
Effect Of Ascorbic Acid On CdTe Quantum Dots And Investigation Of Different Chemical Sensors On CdTeHg Quantum Dots
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
The objective of my thesis is to investigate the effect of ascorbic acid on CdTe quantum dots, which is an antioxidant. It was observed that the quantum dots recovered their luminescence intensity after the interaction of ...
3-dimensional Scanning And Reconstruction Using A Modified HRT-RCM Corneal Confocal Microscope
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
The HRT II - Rostock Corneal Module (HRT II-RCM) provides excellent resolution, contrast and optical sectioning capability for cornea imaging. It offers the most detailed views of cornea structure and pathology. However, ...
Detecting Clinical Biomarkers Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a modality of MRI that measures water diffusion properties noninvasively, is highly sensitive to subtle structural changes of white matter. It provides a unique and noninvasive method for ...
Spectrophotometric Quantification Of Bilirubin In Sclera of the Eye Using Visible DLP® Hyperspectral Imaging
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
In clinical settings doctors strive to give best care to the patients by looking for methods to diagnose the illness early to intervene with the necessary treatment. In the case of patients with liver problems (e.g. ...
A Viscoelastic Model For Human Prolapsed Vaginal Wall Tissue
(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 ...
Self-assmbled Lithography-free Fabrication Of Microchannels And Microfluidics In Polymers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Rapid, reliable and easy to implement approaches are needed for fabrication of circular microchannels in polymeric microfluidics. PDMS has been a choice of material in microfluidics and it is being used as prototype due ...
5 cm Gap Injury Repair: Growth Factor Support And Functional Analysis In A Rabbit Common Peroneal Nerve Model
(Biomedical Engineering, 12-10-2012)
Nerve conduits have shown to successfully bridge nerve gaps of ≤ 3 cm; however repair of longer, mixed or motor nerve gaps still remains a clinical challenge. In order to study regeneration techniques in clinically relevant ...
