A Novel Injectable Porous Hydrogel Composite Scaffold For Bone Tissue Engineering
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-17)
Over the past decade there has been an increasing use of bone grafts for orthopedic applications. With the aging US population, the need for suitable bone grafts substitutes has also increased. The aim of this study was ...
Development Of A Measurement System For Quantifying Ultrasound Field Distribution Of Different Transducers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-10)
Ultrasound has been widely used in many fields, such as nondestructive examination and medical imaging. Ultrasound is mostly characterized by its pressure and, dynamic pressure wave can be considered to be the foundation ...
A Multimodality DLP® Imaging System For Clinical Surgery
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-09-17)
With 1.38 million new cases and 450,000 deaths worldwide due to breast cancer, there is a clear need for safe and complete surgical intervention for the treatment of breast cancer. Imaging solutions have been created and ...
Simulation Feasibility Studies Of A High Density fNIRS Imaging System
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-09-17)
Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a technique that enables monitoring brain function, by detecting changes in near-infrared light absorbance resulting from changes in brain hemodynamics during periods of ...
Computational Modeling Of Drug Release From Nerve Guide Conduit Of Different Designs
(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 ...
Evaluation Of Tissue Response From The Regenerative Multielectrode Array (REMI) Implant Using ATF-3 And cJun
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-10)
Currently available peripheral nerve regenerative interfaces such as the sieve and the micro-channel regenerative electrode, intended to be used for the control and natural feel from advanced robotic prosthetic devices, ...
Micromotion And Scarring Do Not Contribute To Failure Of Regenerative Peripheral Neural Interfacing
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-10)
Neuroprosthetics facilitate amputees with motor function restoration by interfacing nervous system with artificial limb and enabling control of the prosthetic device by volitional thought. Though such neurointerfacing ...
Cross Wavelet Analysis Of Cerebral Hemodynamics In Young And Older Adults
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-09-17)
Measurement of cerebral autoregulation is important for the evaluation of a number of clinical disorders that affect cerebral blood flow. Cerebral autoregulation is a mechanism that involves dilation and constriction in ...
Microfluidic Chip-based Fabrication Of Hollow Alginate Microfiber For Enzyme Entrapment And Reaction
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-09-17)
This thesis demonstrates a simple process to generate alginate hollow microfibers by using a non-lithographic PDMS microfluidic device. The microfluidic device was fabricated by a novel template method in a wet lab without ...
Quantification And Comparisons Of Motion Metrics For Finger Tapping Performed By Children With Cerebral Palsy Before And After Therapy With Two Motion Tracking Camera Systems
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-10)
The quantification of any improvements in the use of a paretic arm after children with cerebral palsy (CP) undergo rehabilitation is currently done by occupational therapists who administer a series of manual ability tests ...
